Good Stuff!! I wish it started off a bit more difficult, but the art, animations, effects, style, is SPOT ON. Would really like to play this on my phone. Keep it up!

Your sprite work is phenomenal!

Interesting idea. Could use a more challenging aspect, since it is pretty easy to avoid the rain drops. Maybe add multiple at once or faster.

Love the graphics on it - I realized after a little bit though that I could camp the corner and rarely anything dropped there until it really started speeding up.

This is an example of game jam games done right. No-nonsense mechanics and scope, fun gameplay, high level of polish. Great job!

Music actually works by being repetitive and a bit hypnotic, fits the gameplay.

Nice simple yet effective idea ! Cool graphics and effects. Difficulty could kick in earlier. Thanks for the game !

The style is fantastic and I love the way you did the smoke for the fire. In terms of difficulty the ramp up felt a bit slow until around level 8 but after that it got challenging pretty quickly.

As steted below, i can totally see this as a mobile game! The pacing was too slow for my taste but thats just about balancing. Overall very pleasing experience

Great to see a Pico-8 game! It's quite nice but the difficulty could be scaled a bit more. It's fairly easy and I don't think it rises in difficulty by too much. I liked the particle effects and gameplay was good!

Seems like it would be an awesome phone game to play repeatedly. Maybe it could be more punishing but still a good fun game. Well done!

The music wasn't too bad actually, if you made it loop a bit cleaner and added a flourish or two it would fit really well. I enjoyed the smoke effects a lot. If you made it a bit more challenging, speed up faster and then add multiple drops, you'd have a really great little game!

Loved the game art and animations. Looks beautiful. Felt a bit easy but enjoyed the game.
