It's a fun core mechanic. Wish I could see what it would've grown into if you'd had more time.

(His walk animation is adorable.)

Really interesting mechanic, I can see this grow into a really nice game with more aspects added, but even in its current state, collecting all those dots was surprising fun! Good work.

A funny and relaxing game.

A small but really funny game!The mechanic is unique and interesting, and I like to see the long-arm character moving around with so many balls in it's arm lol,so cute~ Can't believe you've completed this game just in one day!

Ok, it does not a lot of things.But it does it well, took me a while to understand the core mechanic but once I got it I found it was a really good idea. And it is well implemented with a little bit animation. Really it's nice.

Love the sound effects. Putting the dots in the box feels very satisfying.

Awesome work for 1 day, well done!

The sound effects are satisfying to hear and the animation is great!

It took me a bit to realize there's actual physics holding the dots up! Lol. I kinda like how they spill out as you collect them. Feels like a scrappy lil collector running around and doing its best. It was satisfying to collect them all! I like the little walking sound effects :)

Nice game! Wish you had more time to add more to it. The concept is really unique!

le-don 2025-10-12 17:52

Honestly, I think the art style is great.

Oh man, that's a very solid gimmick for a game. I was not expecting it, and was a little horrified (in a good way) when I realized what it was haha. Definitely has potential, I would love to see it taken further.

Very cute concept, haven't seen a game use this kind of mechanic before. Good choice in sound effects, having a dedicated sound for when you "drop" something by accident was clever, it really helped me understand what was going on

Good entry! I love the graphics, animation and sound design. I think the gameplay is solid, and it would be interesting to see how you'd expand on it if you had more time. Nice!

A cute little game with interesting collecting-mechanics :v: I love the simplicity!

Wow! What a fun mechanic! This game feels perfect for an analog joystick where you can control the character’s speed and keep the balls from falling. Such a cool and innovative idea. I would’ve loved to see more of this game! Imagine a roguelike version where the balls spawn in different places, with some enemies and upgrade purchases afterward. That would be insanely fun. Great entry, awesome game!

great pixels physics. feels great. I only had the problem that one pixel fell far to the right where i could not reach it anymore... Bildschirmfoto_20251013_201652.png

@stefan-b Good catch!! I'm so annoyed by that bug :face_palm: :tired_face: I thought I fixed it just before submitting... but.. apparently not. :cry: :grimacing:

borbag-uskada 2025-10-13 21:52

Really fun !

Sad you didn't have more time, the core mechanic feels great, only realized what it was after collecting a bit, would love to see it paired with other similar and funny mechanics to create a collecting mess

Nice job

debugman18 2025-10-14 03:35

Cool mechanic and smooth movement. Surprisingly relaxing collecting the pixels.

Amazing work! It's super interesting and has a vert unique way to paraphrase the theme, good job! And welcome to give our game a try! :)
