Very nice game, I do like it a lot

amras0000 2015-12-14 00:41

score of 71. The increase in size as you make mistakes was a nice touch, though the final zoom level was larger than my monitor (any way you could grab screensize data in html5?).

Main complaint is the travel time of the grandma. I think the game would benefit if:
-the color switched the frame I hit the appropriate button
-I could only hit a pill when part of it was over the dashed-white-line

Solid game otherwise.

A simple game but very nicely executed. Firefox exhibited some strange behaviour during the zoom/newgame.

haha, nice. pretty difficult after a short period :P

This game is stressing me out, I think I need a chill pill. The growing of the screen is a nice take on the theme and that plus the music changes really makes it more stressful.

Cute, well made, awesome. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/vvV25Dw2BHg

Nice work! Fun little game, I like how the window size gets bigger as you make more mistakes!

pusty 2015-12-14 20:28

Love it! Had fun playing :D (The screen enlargement looked nice!)

morganlefay 2015-12-14 23:10

This was a fun little game to play. I like how the screen gets bigger if you miss a pill.

gwakamolestudio 2015-12-15 05:43

I love how you use the theme Growing, gj :)

themeorch 2015-12-15 06:33

Great execution and presentation on a fun arcade-y idea. Finally seeing how the Growing theme got incorporated was surprising and hilarious!

ghen 2015-12-15 06:34

i dig the visual and music, i also like the effect when you got "no chill" lol, the screen getting bigger and bigger, i don't know whats the actual purpose of it, but it definitely make the game harder to play

jcwelgemoed 2015-12-15 06:36

Great little game. zoom level is a nice touch and something different. well done.

aplomb 2015-12-15 06:46

Neat, funny little game with a mean learning curve. I love the little touches like the skeleton grandma when you lose. Great music too!

yinyin 2015-12-15 12:22

NO CHILL

That's the best growing two button theme thing I've seen so far.

alexrus07 2015-12-15 19:13

Elegant ans simple implementation of the theme. A humorous plot, too. Enjoyed it :)

borodar 2015-12-15 19:15

Good math for both themes and nice work overall!

berserker_chris 2015-12-15 19:20

nice little ... big ... bigger game

beanallean 2015-12-15 21:37

77. Simple premise, with a cool twist! Love the screen increase as a punishment, creates some nice chaos when it gets too big to see.

robber 2015-12-15 23:41

it looks like a simple game, but the true art you have achieved here is what is making this simple idea challenging, fun and addictive..this shows in little details with music changing, and when you think..."oh no..there is too much pills coming now! you get the 'that's chill' saving your a$$..very well executed!

mintarcade 2015-12-16 00:38

Wow, thats a cool game. Love the music!

the-arrival 2015-12-16 00:47

Addictive and the music tunedown when you loose is a neat idea

broknecho 2015-12-16 06:22

The zoom feature was really neat. Made it quite a bit harder. Failure just kept making the game harder! Neat idea. Well done!

crucknuk 2015-12-16 19:08

Oh I didn't expect that! The interpretation of the theme is just brilliant! The gameplay is simple and efficient, the game is really fun. Well done!

zanzlanz 2015-12-16 19:36

Haha! Awesome! I love the grandma, and the fun style to the art. And what a clever use of screen size!

diventurer 2015-12-16 21:16

Very nice! The growing effect is impressive :D

shaunjs 2015-12-16 21:18

Very cool, the use of "Growing" here is very unexpected and I think works really well =D

archonthewizard 2015-12-16 21:35

224. Fun twitch gameplay
Not too sure about the screen starting small and growing. Otherwise, fun little game.

skullpixel 2015-12-16 21:58

Nice job! It took but a minute to figure out, and the sizing up as you failed to get the pills in the container was a nice touch!

batmanasb 2015-12-17 01:24

I like how the controls are forgiving, unlike most rhythm games. You can turn back around and correct mistakes. Although these types of games need to be more synced up with a beat, or else the mood kind of falters.

tweedle 2015-12-17 18:44

Cool concept!

onionblitz 2015-12-19 08:48

Fun little game. I like everything about this, especially how you did the visuals! :D

tselmek 2015-12-20 12:01

Really fun entry. Nice take on the theme but the window would just grow bigger than my screen size but it was not that bothersome. Good job.

tapehead 2015-12-20 12:51

this is a funny game! like it!

andreasl 2015-12-21 11:29

Solid game! I like how you incorporated the growing theme. Felt quite original. Simple game but enjoyable.
The music somehow managed to be very catchy and annoying.

Overall solid entry, good job!

guard13007 2016-01-03 21:06

Very fun. From a player perspective, I like how it increases in size as you play and mess up. From a YouTuber perspective...that's gonna be annoying to edit. xD Maybe make it optional?

I agree with the recommendation amras0000 said about making the color switch the moment you hit the button, also perhaps making the grandma travel faster.

ointment 2016-01-04 23:02

Not particularly interesting apart from the screen growth. It does have a bit of an aesthetic sense going on, so I'll translate that to the Mood score we all love.
