I really love the art style, but the game is way too hard for me......I cannot even pass the second level (or picture?). The first level's character movement is too stagnant and whenever I die I have to start from the first level, which made me depressed.

Exactly the same as the upper comment : its too hard but it has gorgeous artstyle ! Good job though

The art style is adorable, but the controls are tricky, making this game incredibly challenging—and that's exactly why I keep coming back for more.

@rinevard @moonblast @smogobingo Sorry you found the levels too hard. I was actually worried I'd made them too easy. That has surprised me. At least each level is only 10 seconds long. :8ball:

Those water drops in the first scene are a nightmare. Dying in the second level and getting sent all the way back to the beginning is just brutal. We really need a save point to continue from.

the game is way too hard for me……But the art design is so good

I completed but too hard.

flying-butter-studio 2025-10-07 15:25

Too hard ? Yes.. Maybe a little :laughing: Nice game, the art feat the theme, like it :smile:

The concept and art are great! But as everyone says, it's incredibly difficult.

I barely got to the third image on the 50th try.

I think I can get used to it, but it's too expensive. Especially getting it in my mouth on time.

I didn't even have time to understand the rules. I think at least adding a pause when switching to the next picture would be nice.

This game is tough — I didn’t manage to beat it, but that’s not a downside. It’s challenging without being frustrating, and you just need some time to practice. I really love the art style; it’s visually satisfying, and the sound effects are great too. I also liked how there are different stages, it feels like several games in one, which is super cool. The fairy concept is a creative take on the Collector theme!

Brilliant idea! I'm crazy about how the entire game fits on a single screen! Unfortunately, I never managed to beat the Angry ~~Birds~~ Tooth level, but I tried honestly. Anyway, beautiful graphics, perfect sound design, and just a wonderful game

The game is incredibly hard, I don't think it's necessarly a bad thing, but it is really really hard, I didn't get past level 2, landing in the mouth is HARD, for me at least it's not worth the time investment to try to beat it. Two things that could get the game to be a bit less polished frustating from the levels I tested: - avoid getting spawn killed by rain in the first level, sometimes you really just don't have time to dodge the rain when spawning, when it happens one time it's okay but when it happens four times in a row, it's frustating - transition a bit slower from level 1 to 2, when you're still pressing while it's transitioning you'll slam directly into the wall, combined with the rain spawn kill it ads the cherry on top Aside from the difficulty, the graphics are great, the controls are easy to pick up, sound is good, I like the idea of every level being on the screen, good job!

I think it's too difficult. But the visuals is good, and I like the sound effects.

oddballdave 2025-10-09 13:22

@petitlu Your suggestions confuse me as that is already how it should work. No rain appears above the fairy for the first few seconds. In fact you can sometimes not move the full 10 seconds and complete the level. Also in the second level the fairy doesn't move for the first half a second giving you chance to get your bearings. If this isn't happening for people then something is going wrong.

Cool game but as others have said too difficult. At least let us restart at the highest level achieved - I took some 30 tries to get to level 2, then immediately died. Nice drawings and congrats for submitting.

oddballdave 2025-10-13 08:19

@jose-bonilla 30 tries!! Something is definitely going wrong somewhere. It only takes me 4 or 5 tries to complete the whole thing. I've obviously done something to make it go weird on other peoples machines because 30 attempts at level 1 is crazy.

I was worried people would complain it was too easy. Guess I was very wrong :8ball:

yibirabbit007 2025-10-13 14:58

I’m very sorry that every time I reach a new level, I haven’t had the chance to find out what’s happening before being pulled back by the rain. The raindrops are very heavy, forcing me to focus on one spot. **:(**

If possible, you should display the levels one by one, so that after completing the first level, the second level appears. At least this way, we can identify which level is currently in progress.

The fairy is kinda creepy not gonna lie :D, but the art is totally clean. I do not know about how hard that was before, but for me now it was not so hard to beat, sub 4 or 5 minutes definetely. I felt it was even too short, but thinking that there are actually 4 minigames, for one person I think that is decent work to do in a compo scope, especially with coherent look to the game :) If there were more minigames I would certainly stayed to play longer

This was a super fun series of microgames. The difficulty was pretty spot on I thought, although perhaps having a lives system before going all the way back to stage one would make it a little more forgiving. Often by the time I gotten back to stage 4 (flicking) I had forgotten how that stage worked. The visual presentation as a sort of comic strip was really awesome. Nice work.

Very cute! Difficult, as everyone says, but fun to figure out :)

The only level that felt unfair to me was the first one, where it seemed to be genuinely impossible half the time, at least with that kind of acceleration (maybe it's easier on controller?). Since it's so short, it probably didn't have to be random anyway, just one pattern (or a few) to master.

The comic book thing is very neat! I've wanted to do something panel-based before too but I was never able to figure anything out. This works really well. Just would've liked some grace time to read the prompt of each before I had to control it 😅

I actually thought the levels got easier if anything! Level two was the trickiest for me. Level four seemed like it'd be tough but it was fairly forgiving, and I got it on my third try without even hitting the bag directly, the tooth just bouncing off the wall (but it took me a lot more tries to get to that level in the first place).

Nice graphics and audio! Hope the person with the rotten tooth feels better now. Overall very nice and focussed little game with lots of style c:
