Fun game. Good job!

neowhoru 2022-10-03 17:31

Score 62,67. Really nice little game and a really good take on the theme.

My record is 52.2s very nice polished mini game! I like the idea that you must stay under the platform a lot. I think there is a lot of potential for extra hazzards that occur not only every 10s but after for example 30s of playing. Thank you for the game, it was definitely fun!

Great mini game that suits the theme very well. It gets you excited while playing, I like it. Congrats and good job :)

Fun game, i would play it in my phone if it was available! :bed: Good job

My score 31.2, I love everything about it. Great sound and gameplay is clever. Easy to learn but hard to master. One of my favorites so far.

faust-mi 2022-10-04 13:51

Good job! It's fun!

Managed 52.something :wink: Solid entry.

For a few seconds I thought that the player on the belt moves slightly faster to the left than the boxes (if player is idle).

But must have been me...

mercuryal 2022-10-04 16:11

It's fun, difficult but is great in overall

aquanim 2022-10-05 11:22

Starts a little slow but definitely fun when the game gets going.

puyo 2022-10-05 11:24

A well put together, consistent game. The music and sound fit in with the graphics, all feels good together. The jump feels a bit floaty or something, but the main challenge of the game is a clever way to do the theme. Well done

This is a nice looking game !

pragmascript 2022-10-05 11:29

Nice concept :)

krasimir-balchev 2022-10-05 11:33

I managed 53 seconds, it was fun. A good addition might have been to have different patterns for the movement of the shield or to have obstacles that could kill you more easily than only trapping you. The first 5 seconds of every 10 second loop felt a bit uneventful but maybe once the speed ramps up even more it fixes that

milq 2022-10-05 11:34

I love these kind of games! They are simple but well executed in all aspects. As I have enjoyed it so much I have missed that the difficulty increased after the boxes appearing with other elements on the screen. Also I want the final score does not come out as a certain but that you can remove it whenever you want. I couldn't take the screenshot! Even so, it has entertained me a lot, 100 seconds or so I have managed. Seriously, great game!

misfire-dev 2022-10-05 12:43

This is such a good interpretation of the theme, really great job.

slush 2022-10-05 14:25

Wow this game is really fun. I particularly like the difficulty/controls and the audio.

dileriuml 2022-10-05 14:54

Nice idea. A bit addictive too) Great graphics and 8-bit music

Love the simple and elegant graphics and the catchy music. This game is fun, satisfyingly challenging, and a little addictive. Well done!

cookiera 2022-10-05 17:09

62.8 sec B,)

Good game

dod108 2022-10-05 17:09

Really nice, simple and super fun. The only con which comes to my mind is that the movement sometimes feels weird, but in a minor way, it's mostly well done.

cslupius 2022-10-08 19:59

Nice and simple, well done

bluesand 2022-10-08 19:59

Fun to play with! I love the mechanic of the laser happening every ten seconds, it really gets on my nerves! Plus the tracks and obstacles are very exciting. Very fun!

actuallythemoon 2022-10-08 20:01

Simple but impressively effective idea. The time stop effect when the lasers shoot is absolutely perfect and makes the game feel great.

retrisma 2022-10-08 20:02

Great job on this! The simplicity of both the graphics and the gameplay really appealed to me, and the slow way that you introduced the mechanics was perfect. The pause as the lasers at the top shoot is also well done, it makes things so much more suspenseful. It was a really fun play, as addictive as any arcade game could ever want to be!

ktyprk 2022-10-08 20:04

My score 83, fun and challanging game.

flying-dog-fish 2022-10-08 20:10

Simple but fun. Good use of the theme too.

loveapplegames 2022-10-09 07:31

Congrats on your entry, it's fun and pretty solid. The laser really adds to the gameplay.

cayurr 2022-10-09 19:08

Really fun game and I love the idea! Overall a really solid entry, nice job!

barna 2022-10-09 19:17

The difficulty level is spot on! Also fits the theme nicely, good job!

oozer 2022-10-09 19:31

love the minimalist UI and fleshed out gameplay loop

paul-giovannini 2022-10-10 07:31

94 after 5 attempts...that's my best! Nice concept well executed! The NES aesthetic got me and the stop effect when the laser shoot is a great idea to emphasize the danger! Nice entry, great job!

greenradiation 2022-10-10 13:06

Good performance of classic mechanics. The style of the NES consoles suits the gameplay well. Great job!

mar3k 2022-10-10 18:58

104 seconds is my PB. Very nice minigame with cool retro vibe and nice music. Well done.

chillertyp 2022-10-10 18:58

I like the simple graphics. And the game itself makes fun. Good job for a one-man-show.

sibi 2022-10-10 18:59

Wow didn't expect it to be this engaging. After the first wave I was expecting to be bored but you really tricked me. The buildup of difficulty was great. In the end I died by being pushed off screen. Jumping over the obstacles could have been a little easier. Great job!

lsy 2022-10-11 19:49

The game is fun, and I enjoy moving and jumping in the style of pixels. The feeling of jumping can be designed better. And the fire of laser guns may change their ways of shooting so that the gameplay would be more fun.

candlesan 2022-10-11 19:59

There are some very original concepts in here! At first I thought "Why do I need jump" then as soon as the conveyor started moving I was like "Oh I see where this is going" - I was not disappointed. This is surprisingly challenging and the music is great. Well done.

I really liked it! It was fun to play and even when you lost it felt like it was quick to get into action again. I liked the overall "feel" of the game. The further along you got the more the lasers got off sync with the timer so it was hard timing being under the platform with when the laser would shoot, but other than that it was fun! Maybe have different obstacles or change the direction of the conveyor belt or something if you continue working on the game? :)

hawkin 2022-10-13 04:13

Simple idea, very well executed! Everything was very well polished, and you found a good challenge progression. Great job!

bqq 2022-10-14 20:30

Fun game with cool 1-bit graphics and funky chip tunes! The initial ramp up of mechanics/difficulty was very well executed. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not but when I got further the lasers didn't shoot at 10sec intervals anymore. I was stuck on 50 seconds for quite a while, but finally got better at it :D here's my best score:

I like intuitive, simple games like this. The graphics are good and the sound fits the gameplay very well. My only suggestion is to let the player use the arrow keys as well as A,D. Overall, a fun game. Nice work.

suchista 2022-10-19 23:29

I really like this game, especially the dual challenge - lasers and obstacles. Audio and visuals are very clean and nice.

jondkoon 2022-10-21 17:07

Really fun concept. Love the music and the aesthetic. I think the movement could have a been a little more nuanced - maybe bouncy. Loved how you gradually amped up the complexity with the obstacles. Great execution.
