A simple concept, but actually quite tricky to survive. Those bombs definitely start raining down after about a minute. It was very fun to play.

My score was 7886, but I don't think it reset between my playthroughs.

Almost got to 10,000, the platform I was standing my ground on starting rising and that was pretty cool! Like @pavocado I noticed the score at the top doesn't reset between games. The score shown after finishing is the correct score for that game, though.

Control is very smooth, the game was challenging which allow me to rest many times to get a high score. once I played the game I don't think I play it in future again. the graphic has potential but Overall a fun mini-game to compete with my friends with high scores.

nevermind that this is your first game--this is really quite great! sure, graphics, music, whatever might leave some stuff to be desired but quite frankly you've hit the nail on the head with something that i think most game developers struggle with all the time: fun game design. you've taken an incredibly simple concept and have run with it, not adding in extra fluff and keeping it focused on the core of game's goals. it's super focused, and shows that you all have a lot of potential! keep up the good work, you're all doin some great work and we love to see it :)

I found that the ground fell apart way too quickly to survive for a long time, and I noticed that my health barely went down from being hit by debris, so I took a different tactic - guarding a column of blocks with my body allowed me to stay alive a long time! Turning the game on its head like that was pretty fun.

Very good for a first game!

Simple but quite well done (making the platforms align on a grid was a clever decision) Also, I like the music choice, really fits the mood of the game

I like it! I had fun trying to figure out better ways to survive. Eventually I just started protecting the last block with my own blocky body, as cromo pointed out earlier, and that was a really cool not-so-obvious solution. Good job on keeping it simple and focused, because that's not something many first-time gamedevs do!

Solid entry - especially for a first game! The mechanics and idea was cool. Also good job on not allowing the player to go just go above where the projectiles spawn because I tried that :laughing:

Could be quite decently fun if it was more fast-paced.

Really solid first game! as others have said there are some problems with the score resetting. but overall good job!
