This game is fun! It felt challenging and I liked your take on the theme. Great work on the art too!

Just to be sure I understand and help others who play, the object of the game is to avoid being hit three times for as long as possible, right? Well done and nicely simple game.

Nice pixel art!

zeaga 2019-04-30 05:24

@hutchings90 Correct! Sorry if that's not completely clear.

Thank you, everyone!

I like the art in this game. The controls are very responsive and pleasing to use. The music and sounds fit well with the rest of the game's theme. I feel like playing this would improve my reaction time! Overall, very cool. Keep it up :)

Nice art work and retro feeling music :)

silas-reinagel 2019-05-01 01:35

I love the menu animation!

I like the way the music feels more frantic after each time you get hit.

loved the simplicity of the game, it's fun, the music is perfect xD my record is 53seconds xD

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Such a simple concept but works perfectly for the theme. I'm finding the art quite jarring to look at, I think it's the background being so textured and repetitive. Kind of fun but challenging too.

webthingee 2019-05-02 01:27

well done. very fast and the music builds the intensity well. I kept hoping I'd pick up one of the things on the floor, or I could go back for my coins... mayb version 2 :)

nathaniel-jensen 2019-05-02 01:28

It does not seem to work for me :( Says it can't reach the page.

First off Congrats! on putting in an entry. That alone is an amazing accomplishment and be proud that you did that. Anyways it seems to me that you could have really dug into the theme a bit more. It seemed that simply making the life currency while it did work was just a minor art change. It still works and I know the theme was hard to make gameplay level changes but next time remember that. The enemy's are simple but work well. Although the enemy coming down seems like a football player lol. The music is good. Art was good. Definitely very fun to play.

mdwade 2019-05-02 02:32

I dunno if it was just me but the music started really loud. Good, just... loud. lol

The gameplay is basic, had to read the about/help sections to make sure I wasn't missing anything -- That aside, with a few more mechanics it would actually be quite solid. Art/sound aren't bad themselves.

Nice pixel art, the loot goblin reminds me of an Argonian :smile:

seizethedia 2019-05-02 18:11

I would've really loved to be able to pick up more coins and retrieve the ones I've lost. You can keep the intensity of it by making coins dropped disappear after a timer runs out so you're forced to run around even more.

kaitlin-quick 2019-05-02 18:52

@webthingee @seizethedia That's a good suggestion! Will definitely keep that in mind for the future :D

@caveman54 @mdwade Thank you for the feedback!

mika-la-grand 2019-05-02 19:11

The art is okay, it's quite a simple game. I would have opted out of the humor instead of the audio, but alright. I am not sure if you can just camp in one of the corners, but I would recommend changing it so that you have a healthbar that is constantly depleting and you have to pick up coins in order to stay alive, whilest avoiding the enemies coming across the screen.

zeaga 2019-05-02 19:15

@mika-la-grand We can't opt into audio. We didn't make the audio. If you don't find the game humorous, please rate it appropriately.

You could camp in the corners, but you'd die to unseen enemies pretty easily since they can appear from anywhere on a radius around the center of the map.

Thank you for the feedback!

ianlux 2019-05-02 23:18

Well, it is a quite simple game, but it works properly and plays well. Props to you! Keep jamming mate. :)

nathaniel-jensen 2019-05-02 23:28

Hey, I got it to load this time! Yay! Nice simple game! Great sprite for the goblin!

rainetheglutton 2019-05-03 03:03

The art style, animation, and music is great! Gameplay was simple, but always forced the player to be on the move due to the enemy being on the same path as them on spawn. Great job for a JAM game!

Thanks for rating our game!

flayerwolf 2019-05-03 23:45

Nice art and music, animations are also good! Simple gameplay, but it's smoothly done

copper-aardvark-games 2019-05-04 22:01

I love the music! I think it ties in really well with the game and art style. Very well done!

blondhie 2019-05-04 23:34

This was fun! I liked how gradual the increase of speed was. The change was slowly noticeable which was way less stressful when trying to stay alive. The game play was also very smooth.

gentel 2019-05-05 21:33

Pros: - Smooth movement that was neither too jerky nor too floaty

- Nice gold drop on damage

- Music fit the pace of the game well

Cons:

- A bit too simple on the dodge mechanic, like Asteroids is slower but there's a ton of stuff to navigate around that forms new patterns every time.

gurkenlabs 2019-05-06 21:07

Overall, this was a fun idea, but it lacked some gameplay depth as well as some polish.
