It's neat but it gets a bit boring after a while… made it to 120. does it get harder when you're over 100 or was that just the RNG? if yes, it would've been a bit cooler to have a quicker rising difficulty-curve.

Yeah just RNG... I also got bored with it myself after a few minutes. Thank-you for playing.

Funny idea :) would benefit from some bg music and sound effects :)

If you were to go further, maybe explore ways to translate that rewarding feeling of cleaning earwax... Audio would help make clearing earwax feel more rewarding.

I like the sense of humour in this work, though some sound effects could really go a long way there. The gameplay is solid, though basic, and the graphics are functional.

I did find what seems to be a bug though: if you hold down left and then push up or down, the bud you were holding stays out, and switching to it again lets it be pushed further out (making it harder to protect).

Well it's a good idea and prepared for a smartwatch! jajaja, good job. Just it should have a dificulty increase.

RockhopperGames, Yeah I noticed that after some key mashing... It is the retraction method failing to fire.

lkpridgeon 2015-05-09 19:44

suppi, probably would...

lkpridgeon 2015-05-09 19:45

trappytrap92, Would you play it if I released compatible for one?

lkpridgeon 2015-05-09 19:46

killako, Add some ears into the mix maybe...

tompudding 2015-05-09 20:59

Neat idea! I agree with what others have said about additions, it would also be nice if the buds got dirtier the more they cleaned :)

Far too easy, but great idea and great game however the graphics are simple. Would need some sound. I think it's boring because of that.

tompudding, All the things suggested could be easily added at a later date. I am not sure if I am going to develop this any further but I may mess around with a few things...

lkpridgeon 2015-05-10 00:17

Alistesios, I understand. I meant for the graphics to be simple and agree with the lack of audio however was not feasible at that point in time.

This is a great idea, though the pace is too slow and I found it effectively impossible to lose. If it ramped up quickly, ore even had an audio-rhythm component, I could see this being a highly effective little game!

freeholdgames, Thank-you for the ideas and I understand where you are coming from.
