I like how clear the idea is, I was able to get into the game right after I started playing, no explaination required.
With some polish to how the character feels and maybe the tiniest bit of additional depth I'm pretty sure this could get very addictive fast. Do you have any ideas for new mechanics, like special blocks or maybe even enemies? :smile:
Simple and fun! The rules were easy to understand and obey. There could be more challenge though. Because it kinda gets easier with time. And your success kinda depends on luck. I just shoot everything that blocks me:D Sometimes that was advantageous because you hit 1 red one but 3 or more blue ones. If I just jumped over it, I would have missed those blues. Maybe top down gameplay would have been better. But overall good game!
@auxc Yeah, have to figure out ways though to make any more complicated action processable with the fast pacing.
@wolderado I was afraid it was gonna be too hard and tweaked the blue-red ratio and speed factors, apparently made it a bit easy. Will use a few people to playtest it next time :)
Thanks for the feedback!
Fun little game, shooting stuff while running just felt nice, the short music loop also worked surprisingly well! I just hope the difficulty would've ramped up more as the game goes on!
cool intuitive mechanic and a fun play on theme - would love to see this with art stylized to fit the pineapple guy
Simple, fun and adictive, kept me playing for quite a while.
The gun arc was limited, and sometimes I couldn't shoot stuff above me, was that intended?
This has been my favorite game so far!! I loved the art style, music, sound effects, gameplay, etc. PLUS it was simple enough to pick up in no time, and it was actually fun/addicting!
I think conceptually this is very nice. I would suggest though, having the modifier blocks less frequent, more distinguishable. With the bullet spamming its easy to just keep pressing the button, so overall I think its just a bit too easy!
The game feel of this game was really good! Nice feedbacks, nice controls! Good work on that! The music went a little bit repetitive after some time and the game was maybe a little too easy. I never felt like I was in danger. But other than that, it was really nice, i enjoyed it a lot!
Nice, clear mechanics, and a great color scheme! Yellow is a hard color to make work as the dominant one, but it looks really good here.
As others mentioned, the game is a bit too easy. It could also use a little more precision in the shooting: between the long, narrow hallway, large boxes, and wide bullets, it makes it really hard to hit anything on purpose. I honestly just sprayed wildly with only the slightest token attempt to avoid the red blocks. With some tweaking it could be really fun.
Nice concept. Fun and funny, get a bit easy once you get the hang of it.
A nice game with a well-defined scope. Art and audio are nice, and the main character/overall idea are funny. The gameplay felt smooth, although I do feel like after some point there's no way to play it "right", amount of red blocks increases to the levels of "I either shoot them or have nowhere to go". :D
Well done, really enjoyable!
Meybe I missed it but I didn't see anywhere that I have an option to jump, it'd be nice if you included it here on the gamepage.
Otherwise the game is pretty sweet just like that pineapple :3
This was a lot of fun! The shooting was very juicy and felt powerful. The art and sound were pretty minimal, but they worked well together. Good job!
Was able to make 309 points out of it. The concept and the gameplay made it very fun to play, but the graphics and sounds need polishing. Good job!
It's a nice idea and was pretty fun.
Game is good and fun, mechanics work pretty well.
Plays pretty good, controls are tight. Didn't feel like I was contributing much, especially when a shrink block was in my path that I had to shoot. Seems like a lot of luck is involved.
Love the acid tunes and the design of the little dude with he pineapple. The up/down mechanic is great, especially having different sounds to alert the player of what's changed. I think the balance of generating up/down blocks could be tweaked a bit to account for the current state of the game and balanced a bit more, but overall a solid runner. Here's a video of my play: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297351881
Good game. The audio and graphics fit together nicely, and the gameplay itself is easy to grasp and enjoyable. My only complaint would be about the lack of difficulty scaling - I was able to reach 1500 points and frankly, by that time I got a bit bored. The game could, for example, speed up slowly over time, to make it more challenging. Either way, this is a very fun entry.
Simple and fun! Everything felt pretty well executed. As some others have mentioned it lacks a bit of progression as difficulty stays pretty much at the same level.
Cool! Should do a compatible mobile version of this!
nice casual upbeat game. It's simple and fun for people who are busy and just want a little break. the art and music go well together. I love that the mouse aims and shoots. That is key to making this game fun. Good job!
