Yeah it really have ZX Spectrum mood, pretty good old looking game. Why "html for download"? You could upload it on itch.io, should work there.

I totally love the ZX feel, and you're succeeding at recreating it! I couldn't get pass the "Acceptance" level but still had fun!
@genpaku Thank you! I will consider itch.io; @euske: Thank you! Do you want me to give you a hint?
@8bitcharlie no problem, you can send me yours itch.io name when you create an account so I can follow you. I would love to see what you come up with next. If you need any help with setting up your site on itch.io I could give you some hints, like example CSS code or something. :)
Yo intresting idea and realization, art work is simple but still good. So gl and my congratulations.
Nice game, tho I just keep falling forever, idk if I beat it or broke it lol
It took me a while to realize that the bar at the top right represented my health and that there was fall damage. I think it were the different colors that threw me off - you sort of expect the health bar in games to always be the same color, or to go from green to red. I thought the colors had some sort of deeper meaning.
It's interesting to see a game where you can only move left and right and the only way is downwards. This reminds me very much of the game Roll by Nifflas. Though I didn't really understand what the point of the really long falls was, starting from love and joy.
It's definitely an interesting game and definitely a real good getting that ZX feel! I love the music and feeling of this and it's very nice~
I actually reached past 8!
Sadly, the very long transitions makes it painfully slow to complete. I think most people will click off between 5 and 6 and think they completed it and think they're just falling forever as a win condition without seeing past 8. ...but y'know what? Props to the musician, because the music is so nice to listen to for a long time as this one and it's a pretty memorable one too!
Great job! I just wish it's a bit more shorter... well, the falling at least.
@kirby Thank you.
@huskylover269 Thank you. You beat it. ;-)
@zathnic Thank you! You are right about health bar and colors. If there is post-compo version, I will fix it. Fall between first and second level was one screen and every next fall is twice as long as the previous one.
@fiakaiera Thank you for your feedback. It is really appreciated.
Nice little game! I think abit more explaination might help future players, however it was still good ! Defo had a retro ZX feel to it !
I really love the game feel! Great job on that. I thought it was difficult and didn't really understand how to succeed. You should definitely further develop this tho
Fun game ! A bit hard to understood at first but I really liked the oldschool feel.
Good job :slight_smile:
I like the Spectrum aesthetic and the puzzles were well thought-out in needing to go back and forward between the levels. On the other hand, I did notice that some times it would be possible to 'overshoot' the teleporters and end up on the wrong side compared to where you need to go next (needing to teleport back and try again), and while I think I see what you were aiming for with more of the music playing between each level by the last couple of drops it just becomes a case of sitting around for several minutes and waiting for the next level to appear. Still, on the whole it's a solid game, good work!
Cool game.
Hard to understand what's happening at first. Even when you understand the rules is easy to get stuck. I was stuck in a loop of reaching level 3. Once I got passed there it seemed like all the later levels were relatively easy. :shrug:
There's also these long falls, where I wasn't sure if I broke something, or if they were intentional...
I did managed to reach the end (I think?)
I really like the music, and the concept as a whole. Good job!

@itsisaac @devnoob @meta-link @hunter-x Thank you for your feedback. @ismael-rodriguez Thank you. Yes, they were intentional. Yes, you managed to reach the end.
Nice little game, but after 4th level it just begins to be boring, but before that it is very interesting puzzle. Well done!
