Love the spalts! I enjoyed having control of the multiplier both speeding up and slowing down. Well done!

maybeagoose 2025-04-08 00:58

love it

The game makes me greed so much! Very fun! Splat.

Nice! Simple yet solid gameloop with a great risk vs reward balance, clean execution and polishing, AND funny :D Great job!

Love the little touches, especially when getting to a x7 combo how the def animation is different. The push-your-luck element of going fast to increase score vs slower is interesting and the art style is cute. Cool stuff!

A nice twist on a classic gameplay style—having the speed constantly increase while giving the player control over slowing down makes it feel really challenging, in a good way. The sound when you die is pretty funny too, haha. I liked it—keep it up!

Great idea to trade off your multiplier to save your run. Very fun arcade game.

Solid all around. Feels good to play, extends old ideas with new mechanics and, to complete the trifecta of arcade pillars, has a pronounced artstyle with a lot of strong, distinct elements that come together very cohesively. Especially the death sprites are a nice touch :D

I like the splash when it is too fast, feels like it has weight. The music is pretty good too, I would say its a fun game to test your reaction times and do speed runs!

Good sound design and music :) Cool game!

juno-menager 2025-04-08 10:56

Really good. Having that many death animations is just cheef kiss.

jamsbond 2025-04-08 11:07

Great concept, I like it!

ssiannas 2025-04-08 11:25

Very neat! The controls are super smooth. Loved the splats and audio work in general :D I especially liked the multiplier vs speed tradeoff!

We made a dodge dropper too so I'll say you nailed the theme 1000% :laughing:

clymm 2025-04-08 11:51

Very good! The animation and graphics are great, and core game loop is addictive - great job!

leorean 2025-04-08 12:09

I love how the death-sound changes if you die at a deeper level :joy:

nsadie 2025-04-08 13:45

Nice! Simple idea very well executed. Certainly has that just one more try feel!

sariiger 2025-04-08 14:47

Simple, yet very fun and addicting gameplay. The art style is also really great! This is my high score so far: highscoredropdeep.png

elian-geser 2025-04-08 15:33

Wow, I am sure noone here has beat this score yet :D I personally did not! @sariiger

mremmele 2025-04-08 16:00

Great sense of speed, and the ground-smash animation looks awesome!

smeljey 2025-04-08 17:42

Great game! The concept is rather common on this jam but the ability to control character's speed adds an interesting detail!

pusheeneiro 2025-04-08 18:20

Very nice little game

dywanix 2025-04-08 21:34

game reminds me Downwell and I love it!

farzher 2025-04-09 00:35

fun game, but the fact you can always reset your speed to 1 means you can get any score you want, as long as you play long enough.

denmander 2025-04-09 10:19

Fun game, the multiplier mechanics add a lot to it.

elian-geser 2025-04-09 11:43

@farzher yes, you are right. That is my personal "grudge" with this game. It feels like you wanna go faster and faster, but the smart thing to do is just jump all the time and play it slow. Kinda like League... it flashes you with colors and dopanime but if you dont play it smart, you just get whipped. Def will try to consider this next game! <3

ln404 2025-04-09 13:36

I love it! Nice visuals and effects. also hard and fun gameplay!

jona-scheidig 2025-04-09 14:03

I like that you can slow down again, altough you can safeplay quite easily cheesing some score. But I like the high risk, high reward kinda gameplay. Simple yet well done

wuppos 2025-04-09 19:32

This was really good! I got to a score of 992 :D At first I did not get more than 200 points, but then one run something clicked somehow and then I got this score. I really like the mechanic where you can choose yourself to speed up or slow down. It makes it feel super satisfying for me to go fast, because it was super risky but oh the points :D

Overall I think you did a great job with the game feel, which I think added a lot to this game. The splats are super good, the music speeding up as you fall faster feels great and the red signalling of the platforms worked very well.

I think this was just a super fun game to play. Really well done!

elian-geser 2025-04-10 02:33

@wuppos Thank you, really happy to see you have enjoyed the game! :)

blue-pin-studio 2025-04-10 07:14

Managed to get 447, had a good time. The red light indicating an upcoming platformer is a genius move, i've never seen it done before! Very cool

elian-geser 2025-04-10 12:37

@blue-pin-studio thanks, means a lot :)

skyeward 2025-04-13 14:18

Simple game, executed really well. I especially liked the player character design and the splats

3ssthejammer 2025-04-15 20:59

Simple gameplay but really nicely done! Loved red indication and white samples representing speed. Could really be a decent mobile game
