Nice graphics!

The background is quite dark, try adding a sky or grass to make it more eye-catching!

Very interesting gameplay, but it will be better, if you make on a bigger scale showing count of the people. Thank you for an interesting experience!

This was really fun! The graphics were simple, but easy to understand and little details like the screenshake and particles made it satisfying. Even though the enemies were pretty simple, the difficulty really ramps up toward the end into that proper, frantic bullet-hell state.

Nice game, great graphics and funky music.

Great effects!Good job!Interesting idea. I like it very much.

@arcus We thought about space-like background but run out of time

@katamary Yeah it could be done. Thanks!

@entirelybees We tried to make a very simple game then try to polish as much as possible. Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

@turbosocks @gao-ming Thanks!

Fun game! I enjoyed the bullet hell mechanics and balancing of keeping your family alive, but also waiting for them to die. Cool music and graphical effects too :) It would be cool to have the difficulty ramp up a bit more/faster, but overall it was fun to play

Interesting game. I like that you pick up time like if time was the currency.

Fun game, like undertale combat but for reproductive reasons :)

I really like the Undertale heart aesthetic in the game. This game is pretty cool, I had to zen out for a bit after I made it past 400 years when it starts to get a bit fast. I had a weird encounter with frame drops after 500 years but once I went back into the checkerboard zone the frames went back to normal. I also had a weird collision overlap encounter when I grabbed the green timer on where the checkerboard zone is at, it wouldn't make more people unless I re-enter the zone. Other than that, I really like the graphics and the audio in the game. I had fun with it, great job!

Simple and slightly addictive :) Nice style and music.

Nice graphics and particle fxs, catching gameplay, utilizing the life bar well :D

Nice gameplay, and visuals.

pcoridan 2019-05-04 22:04

This was so much fun to play, controls felt buttery smooth and the increase in difficulty as time went on felt just about right. Music got a little repetitive for me while I was playing, but its a game jam the fact that you have music and sound fx is great. Good job keep it up

106 score year 661 I'm proud of myself lol..

Although it became a bit hard on the eyes at some point (due to the speed of the things and that I'm sleepy), it was a fun experience!

I would prefer this as a multi-level thing instead of an infinite runner that becomes literally impossible.
