It was fun to watch you stream the creation, and thanks for the sourcecode again

A simple game that isn't that simple as it seems :D

Great stuff! Really enjoyed this! :D Glad you are still creating awesome stuff!

Nice little game. I find the pacing in the beginning to be a bit slow. Later on it is much better, as new elements are added more frequently. Repeating after failing and waiting for 10 balloons is just a bit boring.

Interesting game. It is quite hard to figure out, what the rules for the game are. I first had to watch you play the game to figure out the basics (besides popping balloons)...

really not that bad, i like the simplistic graphics.

Keep up the good work!

Rules are hard to figure out. Other than that, solid entry, simplistic graphics and interesting game!

Well done with the game. I enjoyed the minimalist style and it was surprising fun trying to figure out the tricks for everything. The start can be a bit slow and especially when I had to restart it a few times to understand what to do with the shapes.

Could be an interesting game but I think a pretty bad idea for a jam game. I'm currently playing tens of other jam games and honestly I can't restart your game a thousand times to click on ballons and fish until I understand why the triangle makes me lose the game. I guess your game was supposed to be frustrating so congrats on that, but otherwise, hard pass. Oh and I like the balloon popping sound.

I love the minimalism in this entry.

There are some conditions in the code that were not considered, however. For example, if you pull the fish towards the corner it is supposed to reach, it sometimes just turns around and sometimes you lose points. Also, if you double-click on it fast, it changes direction, but inconsistenly.

Otherwise, I loved the concept, the game fits the theme perfectly and ever increasing difficulty is interesting to manage.

An interesting concept game. It didn’t do it for me, but I think that it is well done. The slow buildup of new things that have their own unique rules is interesting, and I did enjoy figuring out the first few rules. I thought that the sound effects were quite good, and I think that the simple art was perfect for the concept. I did have an issue when I restarted that the audio never came back until I refreshed the page, but otherwise no issues gameplay wise. This is a well done and interesting concept.

Nice concept. Music would've been nice.

Nice clicker game! It was so cool to earn things each 10 points, however it gets stressful to keep the points! maybe in the future you can fix it by adding different rewards that affect the gameplay :slight_smile:.

Awesome game! :v:

Really neat game, found it through your youtube channel. I wouldn't have been able to make my game without it, and your game sweet! I love the unfolding mechanics.

Congratulations for making this game ! It's quite frustating to have to die to understand what things do ! Otherwise, you tried to implement new concepts ! That's good !
