This was fun! The graphics, especially the UI are great and the music is perfectly late-stage capitalistic dystopian! For future builds it would be nice to have a smoother difficulty curve and an easier way to distinguish enemies from collectables. Great submission!
This reminds me of a flash version of DownWell! Good job!
Super cute! Reminds me of my 9 to 5... only change I would make would be to outline all the hazards in pink/red.
It’s simple and fun, just what I like for a short playthrough
HA yeah go to hell emails!
Thanks for playing Dive into the Hive Mind!
This was a short and very fun experience (its one of the few games that has had me spend more than 15 minutes on). Your squad has done very well! Congrats!
I like the main menu art, almost feels too real haha. The poster in the back is a good tutorial, very simple and gets the information across. I really like the cartoony aesthetic of the gameplay, very cutesy. Good short game, great job!
This is so fun!!! Would play again.
Simple but fun game with a funny setting. Well done!
I'm suprised you opted out of humor, I think you would have gotten a really good rating for it
I liked how you had to keep track of above and below you. Seems well balanced. I also think its cool how the clouds become harder to see on the last stage making you have to focus on them more.
The cuteness contrasts really well with the corporate feel it's trying to avoid. I had fun, well done!
I found it very fun to play, quite complete for a jam game.
Simple but very fun, and I liked the art style! This game reminded me of Downwheel, which is a game that I like very much. Great submission!
Great vibes, loved the graphics, I thought it was gonna be basic and simple and then whoah it took a turn that was wild. Nice game!
Super adorable game. Love the idea of using a parachute to move in y direction.
Not much to say, only refinements in UI (If the game is played with keyboard the menu should be controlled by it too)
Maybe add tweaking the spawn of collectables could help, some watches (required to survive) were on impossible locations on the second part of the game (almost inside spiky cloud).
But in general I loved the game, theme, idea and aesthetics. Awesome job :smile: :thumbsup:
Really cute graphics ! the gameplay is simple but effective, the piano notes feels a little too much répétitive, but the full audio ambiance is nice =)
This game is so real... Liked it allot, short simple and sweet!
Lovely game, good obstacle and powerup variety and great rising difficulty. A bit depressing, but I guess that's the intention. I thought the angry balloon is something you have to avoid at first.
Art is cool, fun to play. And, glad to see other reaper user :)

Wah such a great simple game, SFX, music and gameplay are really fine! I'm just frustated not being able to reach the end after many attempts, I always die by the timer 😢
But very pleasant game, I really enjoyed retrying it a lot!
love the style its super cute! but also love how the music and screen getting darker remind you of the impending doom of a 9-5
Really great game, lots of fun to play, controlled super well which is highly important for this genre. Every death was my own fault. I loved the cute little rabbit dude and would give my life to protect them from emails. Especially work emails..... disgusting. That motivated me to beat it lol great work, impressively polished entry, plays incredibly well!
The controls and concept are really cool. I wish the music was slowed down and reversed to really sell the dreamlike atmosphere. Well done.
Super cute and fun! Loved the art style and how the theme mixes corporate grind with chaos. The music fits perfectly
That's a really cute game! Visuals create a good style for the game.
I like those smooth animations and the whole game cycle, pretty good!
At the end of my vacation...
Cute game! It gets quite difficult later one. Controls feel well put in place too!
