Fun concept! Would be cool more boxes where added when clicking on the spheres, and it would also help extend the game time. I could see this being a fun mobile game.
As @thiagofr mentioned the game file was not easy to locate, and some of the boxes seemed to get stuck off screen.
Love the overheat mechanic! Felt like there was a good balance between shooting and needing to cool down. Really like your take on the theme.
Maybe it is just me, but the rules do not seem very clear. For example: On level 8 (I think) when I select the tier 2 red and tier 2 purple, the red tiles clear, but the purple tiles remain.
Beyond the rules, I really like the graphics and the clean (clutter free) look.
Seems like this would be a really fun mobile game if the rules were more clearly demonstrated.
Fun concept! It would be helpful if there was more of a visual cue when the mushrooms are no longer edible, but not yet hostile.
Really enjoyed this game. The graphics and gameplay were very well done. Having the reference on the left was a nice inclusion. I think this would work well for mobile (which is an easy add for Unity).
I would suggest that the floor falling happen at a quicker rate. Didn't encounter many situations where a tile was at risk of falling under me.
Overall fantastic entry, and I could see myself playing a version of this with more levels and improved AI.
Nice job with your first attempt with the UI. I would have never guessed you had not done UI before. There doesn't seem to be any real objective to the game, so I just kept the storage units as full as possible. I would also like to see my current money on the same screen as my clients.
Great use of the theme! The game was a great play, and never felt overwhelming with the missions and people showing up. Two possible improvements: - Show a progress bar on completing missions (i.e. how much longer I am stuck repairing the glass) - Have the guests walk in the house through the door and just wander around
Overall this was a great entry. Be proud!
Fun platformer, but the difficulty ramps very quickly and requires some very precise jumps. A slower difficulty ramp would probably help people get more invested in the game and have the endurance to beat the game.
Great entry! I love the fully developed tutorial level you included. Definitely adds a polish you don't see in most jam games. The mechanic was good, but having a randomizer to change up the color needs for the programs would add more variety to the game. Also loved the detail of showing the programs loading the the bottom right. Really well done!
Starts off rather slow. It would be nice if you could sprint to go faster for the beginning stages. That being said I was quite humored by your take on the theme. The phasing power up was a nice way to mix up the game play. It would be cool if you could use the phasing without draining the whole bar.
I love some of these book names! Overall there seemed that RNG was the only thing to determine the quality of books. It may be more engaging if the books were scrolling by and you had to pick up enough before time ran out. I saw you noted about trying to do something with a timer and changing the book selection. Would definitely add some depth to the game. But hey, this is LD. Everyone runs out of time on great ideas.
Great game! Love your take on the theme. Having objects with different weights added some depth to the game. Finding a way to scale your game window would be useful. I did have to switch windows to play the game.
Awesome work! Very detailed instructions make if feel like a well polished strategy game. Music fit the game well, and really enjoyed the art work.
Really fun game. I initially did not understand, but after watching the GIF for a couple of loops the game mechanic "clicked". If there was some way to make it more intuitive it would probably help.
Overall I really liked the audio and the mechanic. Great entry!
This is a fun game. It took a little while to figure out the balance between the bunnies and the weight of the overall ship.
The audio was a good complement to the game.
Really enjoyed this game. The graphics were really enjoyable, and the audio helped set the mood. The only problem I saw was it feels like you can go forever. There was very little threat in the game. The spells were very effective, and the mana was easy to keep high.
Love the twist on the classic Snake game. The player moved a little fast, and if you press the keys too quickly the input is not received. Either slowing the player down or capturing the key presses in a queue would be a great improvement.
This is a fun game. The graphics and audio are well done. The controls felt a little too stiff. I did really like the added mechanic of being able to sacrifice a feather for a second jump.
Love the graphics and music! Really sets the mood. Only suggestion would be to inform the player that they can click and hold to slow it down. It completely changed the game once I realized I could to that.
@antti-haavikko Okay so I went back and replayed through level three, and it is clear now that I know what I am looking for. Initially it just appeared to be a cosmetic detail to me. I would maybe change the button out with a mouse icon, and make it a transition screen.
I can't believe I forgot to mention this in my earlier post, but your level design and progression are really well done. I got a high level of satisfaction on some of the later levels. Particularly once the 4-directional pieces started getting involved.
@antti-haavikko I didn't get to the very end, I only got to the level which introduces the three arms very close together. At some point I plan to comeback to finish the game.
Difficulty is always hard to judge when you are the one making it, but I feel like the balance was really well done. Especially once I figured out how to slow down time.
Really loved the humor in the game!
Really like the retro feel to this. The gameplay was fun, but the difficulty ramps up very quickly.
This game seems like it might have some interesting puzzles, only problem was I couldn't get past the second level. I couldn't make the jump onto the ledge on the right. The only way I could manage the jump is if I brought the box to jump off of. Getting a consistent boost from the rocket launcher also proved to be difficult.
Outside of that the SFX you added were good, but I don't quite understand how it involves the theme.
Really great take on the theme! Initially the concept was confusing, but after the first play through it "clicked" for me.
As others have mentioned, the player can get to a point where everything is maxed out and nothing changes. It would be great if there was a little more variety and maybe as time goes on you introduce another row of cards to introduce vertical dragging as well.
Overall I really enjoyed this game. The music and artwork were well done.
Really well done puzzle game. Initially I didn't see any downsides to the "sacrifice" as they were just cosmetic, but at the end it all came together quite well! I played through both endings, and enjoyed the options you left open to the player.
Really great entry!
Very enjoyable game! The graphics look good, and the music sets a calm relaxing mood. The sacrifice system is a great take on the theme as well.
If you added an upgrade system (possibly from pleasing the gods) it would at a lot of depth to the game.
No matter how hard I tried I could never collect everything! I got within 4 items a few times, but I enjoyed trying to get it all.
Enjoyed the humor of the text and the frantic character. I think there are definite positives to take away from this experience.
Had fun keeping a balance between the different meters. The start to the game is pretty slow, but overall the gameplay was enjoyable.
This is a fun platformer. I finished with a score of 535. My only suggestion is it feels like the movement is physics based. When trying to jump on single blocks it is very hard to be precise because of this.
The music and artwork do a good job so setting the mood.
The overall game play is good, but you have to be very precise to make the jumps over the priests. It would be great if their range was slightly smaller to be more forgiving.
Enjoyed finding my way through the maze. Great way incorporating the theme with the camouflage. As others mentioned it is possible to climb on the sides and walk past the natives. I would recommend making the walls just slightly higher to remove this issue.
Really enjoyed this game. The artwork was sublime and the theme was well captured. I would definitely enjoy playing a more in-depth version of this game.
Really enjoyed playing this game. My highest score was 4948. Your energy/currency system worked well, and I really liked your ship and exploding graphics.
I found the enemy ships did a lot of damage given how fast they fire. Maybe halving the damage from enemies would be good. I would also make the asteroids take only a portion of health. I ran into a couple of occasions where I couldn't dodge them.
I love the fact that you can bounce the bullets off the walls. Really fun game!
Really enjoyed your game. I made it to level 10 before stopping. The music set the mood well, and I enjoyed the mix of the random tiles with the visible tiles. It gave the game a nice balance.
The voice mechanics was a nice change of pace in an LD game. The voice acting was also a great addition.
I was unable to get the bounty due to the number of enemies that swarm you. It would be nice if you could say a direction and your robot would move until you say a new direction or stop.
Really enjoy the twist on such a classic game. Would have been great to see the speed increase or more colors introduced the further along you went.
Fun game. Really liked the art style. It would have been nice if there was a slight delay between each fight, and if I could see an indication of what I picked. My brain had trouble remembering the keys once the timer was sped up.
The most I managed was 10 kills.
Really love the twist on the genre! I had trouble figuring out how to add units and nearly gave up. I'm glad I didn't, but you should note to players that the textbox needs to be populated with the number of units you want to buy.
Adding the ability to speed up the gamespeed would be great. Once I got a lot of units I had to wait for them to make their way through.
Well made game! Really liked the retro graphics.
Really enjoyed the procedural dungeons. I thought the overall design of the game was good, but I did get stuck on a playthrough and had to restart the game.
The theme was well incorporated with the game.
As others mentioned the theme is unclear. After reading your comment I went back and re-read the title screen and understand the connection.
I was able to jump over most of the enemies on my first play through which eliminated the need to fight. That being said even when fighting there was very little concern of dying. If the enemies did more damage it would have added to the gameplay.
The first two levels were fun, and I enjoyed the sacrifice/ability system. Once I got to level 3 I couldn't get to the 4th altar. Making precise movements once you get super speed becomes difficult. I think enabling a Shift to sprint mechanic would make it work a little better.
This was a short fun game. I enjoyed your audio clips.
The player movement felt a bit stiff. The acceleration for the player was really slow.
Great ambiance! Enjoyed the art style and music. The platforming was good, but there were a couple of hiccups with the character controller. There were a couple spots where I could not jump (likely not registering I was grounded), and at the beginning if you go left you cannot jump off the slope and have to wait to slide down.
Overall it was a good game, and this incorporated the theme well.
Great take on the theme! I never would have thought of a game like this. I love the POV from the stage looking into the crowd. Great job.
Really enjoyed this game. The artwork is fantastic. Initially I had a difficult time understanding the minigame in the bottom half of the screen, but after a couple tries it finally clicked in my head. Great work!
Good take on the theme. Unfortunately the timer left me feeling pressed to plant more instead of trying to keep the previous plants alive. The best I managed was 13. I could see this as a Frantic Farmer type of game where you have to keep the plants watered and chase away crows and such. Would make for a fun touch-to-move mobile game.
Great TD game. TD games work well with the theme. As others have mentioned the difficulty curve is low, but that is often a challenge (I seem to always screw up mine). I love the cheats and the lose on purpose options. Adds a nice mix.
Great take on the theme. The fire didn't seem to die until I just stopped trying. The visual indicator in the upper left was a great way to do a "health" bar. I would recommend increasing the difficulty. I got a score of 100 (I assume 1 point = 1 second) without even doing anything. If you increased the difficulty you would encourage players to stockpile wood for when it is raining. This would also mean the player would have to protect the stockpile from the beavers.
Overall this was a good entry, and without a doubt the Yell mechanic was the best surprise in the game :)
Great job with the game. The difficulty was well balanced, and gameplay was solid. Overall I really enjoyed this. The global leader board is a nice feature to include in a jam entry.
This was a great game! The instructions and artwork was well done. Really enjoyed the constant action. Felt like there was no time to rest. Reminds me a little of Overcooked. The only downside was if you lost you have to redo the previous levels. I got to the last level a couple times, but could not get over the final hurdle. It looks like this was your fist LD, but you entry really gives off the vibe of a much more experienced participant. Really great job!
Good game. The tutorial added a nice polish to the game. The audio tied in well, but it would be good to include a way to lower the volume.
The game play was good, and the platforming felt smooth. The responsiveness of the inputs are key to a good platforming experience. Well done!
Congrats on finishing your first LD! Great job with the randomized music. It fit well with the game. The trippy effect was initially overwhelming. I think that would be a good feature to toggle between off, low, and high.
Congrats on finishing your first LD! Good take on the theme, but I never felt like there was a risk of dying. I really like the way you start off the game. Starting from an egg and progressing to the 3 flowers and beyond offers a feeling of progression which can be hard in a short game jam.
I know people often run into time constraints, but having the health go down quicker and re-spawning the flowers would offer more of a challenge.
Fun game. I enjoyed the single screen platforming. There was a good difficulty on the platforming, but there never felt like I was at risk of losing. The minute timer just felt too long for the game.
Great job finishing this. Definitely feel proud with the work you have done. Completing a game in 48 hours is not a trivial task.
The concept has potential to be a fun one-touch game. It is slightly frustrating that moles can get by due to timing and the player has no way to stop them. As others mentioned the vertical speed on the moles increases the challenge of being able to stop multiple moles within a moments of each other nearly impossible.
Enjoyable game. The gameplay was fun and required good timing. I managed to beat all the levels. It looks like some of the UI elements were not actually setup. I couldn't save the score after beating the levels. Overall the visuals looked good.
Very good execution on the theme. Really enjoyed this game. This would make for a great mobile game. I would play many more levels of this.
I really enjoyed this game. it is actually a very similar concept to my entry. The time allotment was well balanced. The audio was good, and when you first spawn in the visuals gave me a flash back to the old Pokémon games.
@gevernus There was a problem with the 2020 version. If you want to try it again it should work now.
@tero-pulkkinen @apg The text was more involved than I had originally hoped. The story was thrown together at the end. Thanks for trying the game!
@fabdynamic Thanks for trying the game. In the first room you can search the cryopods by using spacebar to interact with objects.
This has been my favorite game I have played in LD47. I love these type of puzzle games. Great job with this. Your animations were great, the sound track was good for a compo game, and the levels were well though out.
Good job with this entry. It was an enjoyable play through. I really thought the loop would be repeating the first level, but seeing the variation added in was a nice touch.
Good take on the theme. There were a couple occasions where I died as soon as the game started. It would be good to make sure the bugs are not too close to the player at the beginning of the game. It took me about 10 tries to get all 3 pillars. Good job with the submission.
This was a great game. One of the most enjoyable I have played this competition. Discovering I could stack items was a major game changer. I will say the last level music was very somber and did not match the mood of the rest of the game. Not sure if that was on purpose or not, but overall this was highly enjoyable.
Great game. I really enjoy these gravity puzzles. Making the ship and reset button a little more obvious would have cleared up some initial confusion I had, but overall this was an extremely fun game.
The retro artwork and music were really well executed. Gives a real nostalgic feeling. The hitbox on the plants felt too small. It was hard to really tell if I was clicking in the right spot for them.
The gameplay was good, and my best dive was 805 meters. I kept getting stuck at the top and was unable to move. Regardless I was still able to shoot, but I couldn't avoid the depth charges falling from above.
I enjoyed this game. It took a few tries to get used to the mechanics. I would recommend having the first couple levels be prebuilt easier layouts while the player familiarizes themselves with the mechanics. My first couple attempts started with bullets being immediately shot at me. Also having the difficulty increase by having enemies only shoot in a straight line, and then progressing to the tracking bullets in more difficult levels.
@avi I noticed the bar quickly, but it would help if it was a little bigger to stand out more. It took a few tries before I noticed bar would slightly change colors when it was depleted. Making the bar go red may have helped it be more obvious.
@tigerj I always enjoy playing your submissions. Y'all did a great job with the artwork and music. It would have been nice if there was a way to regenerate hearts.
I really like your interpretation of the theme. The gameplay was fun, but one improvement I think that would really help is if you labeled what type of card each slot required. I know you can hover over the slot to find out, but eventually it is impossible to read it before the black dots reach the slot.
I have never played the Cultist Simulator, but I really enjoyed the concept of managing your player's mood by using different cards. I would enjoy a more flushed out version of this game.
This was a great entry. Had a lot of fun playing it. The options in the store added a lot of depth to the game, and added a splash of humor. The pricing and balanced felt really good. The audio worked well for me (Chrome). The only thing I had trouble with was the last boss fight. It was hard to see what was going on with the black on black color scheme. Also I really liked the option included in the store to unlock everything for people who are on a time crunch. I will have to look at incorporating that into my next jam game.
This was a well crafted game. It is a shame you couldn't find a way to tie in the theme, but regardless it was fun to play. The graphical style was well done, and the mechanics were easy to understand. You did a great job adding additional information as the player progressed through the levels.
This was a fun game to play. It was satisfying making my robot hop up and punching the opponent in the head. Getting an KO hit like that felt great. The controls were a little difficult. It felt like there was no way to recover once your bot started to tip.
I struggled to beat this. The stoplights at the top were not intuitive. The lag did not seem consistent with the numbers/colors on the UI. Maybe some additional information in the description would help clear up the confusion.
I also managed to get partially through the level before realizing I couldn't die and my ghost wasn't with me. It required reloading the game to get it working again.
@herlex That information helped a lot. I got separated from the ghost and so I thought I was unable to die (also could not go back due to 1-way doors). I did manage to beat the game in ~20 minutes. I would recommend a couple more checkpoints. Some of the sequences were brutal to need to repeat constantly. The 4 lasers followed by the bridge followed by the turret traps was brutal.
The lag was a great concept for the theme, but I felt like the lag was too inconsistent which added some frustration beating some of the obstacles. For example I would move through a section without stopping and the ghost would just randomly stop in the middle of the path.
Wow I was terrible at this. Enjoyed the concept, but I could not get the cargo loaded properly. Really enjoyed the voice acting. Not something you see in a lot of entries. Great job.
Really enjoyed this game. The execution with the trigger pressure was well done. I wasn't able to get all the way across the map, but trying to run from the hunter while staying calm with the trigger kept it entertaining. It would have been cool if as the hunter gets closer you provided some visual cues such as the ice at the bottom of the screen starting to crack.
Really enjoyed this puzzle game. It was well done, and the animations you added was a graphical upgrade from only using primitives.
This was a fantastic game! The polish on this combined with how well the game mechanics worked was perfect.
Congrats to both of you on the first Jam completion. It was a little unclear what I was doing at first, but it was straight forward enough to figure it out. Including some instructions next time will help.
Interesting idea. The lack of a real goal takes away from the experience. Having a target height with a limited number of blocks would allow for multiple levels to be included. The slow speed of the crane also made it a little dull.
I can definitely see potential with this concept. I think just one or two tweaks would go a long way.
Great entry. The sound effects were great. Was enjoyable to play, but that screen shake is real near the end haha.
This is an excellent entry! It is very simplistic but engaging. The artwork, text, and music really set the mood extremely well. I managed to beat this in 143 seconds on my second playthrough. I also enjoyed the small details you added like the subtle animation when the pillar is fully set.
Keep up the great work!
This was a fun short game. Would have enjoyed an additional couple levels.
Really enjoyed playing this. The music and art were very well done.
I was in the middle of a big jump across the screen and got DESTROYED by a falling boulder. Talk about bad timing haha. It would be nice if there was an on screen warning to where the boulders would fall, but there is never enough time to implement everything.
Great entry!
Really enjoyed this game. I was worried by the wall of text at the beginning, but the game was easy to understand once I started playing. The audio adds a lot to the mood of the game. Great job.
I enjoyed playing this. The controls felt good and the sound effects were a nice touch. It's not often a working pause menu is included in entries so that is great. I really enjoyed the noises in the silly mode.
Great job on picking your theme by the way. Very ingenious.
I like the idea. A few more levels would have added a lot to the experience. As others have mentioned the character controller was problematic. One thing which can help is using physics materials to reduce the friction on the side of objects and your character to 0.
I really enjoyed this game. The artwork looks great. As others have mentioned it took a little while to figure out how to progress. I could see this concept being flushed out as a turn based strategy game. After each move the corruption can tick and the player can weigh the best placement of their next building/action.
Great gameplay and integration of the 10 second theme. I really like the robot character and the animation for when hold the items. The pickup/drop of zones seemed very restricted. Making it more forgiving would make the play experience better.
Enjoyed the gameplay and aesthetics. As others mentioned some better instructions would have helped. 2 things I would improve: Make the letters on the boxes limited to only the left hand side of a qwerty keyboard to limit players having to move their hands so much, and add a visual feedback when the player hits the right button.
Good entry. I had trouble getting the shrink spell and trample to work correctly, but I managed a score of 257. Was enjoyable to play for a few rounds.
The mood was well set with the sound and music, shame it can't be rated. The game play was well done. The integration of the theme was well done as well. Good entry.
Fun quick game. The meters felt like they decreased a little too quickly. As others mentioned some additional feedback would be nice. Great job for the 48 hours.
Nice entry. It can be difficult to get people engaged in a text based jam game, but the story was short enough for the format. The input recognition worked very well for the limited development time frame.
Really enjoyed this game. The theme was well implemented in the gameplay. The music was great. I am always amazed at how people can get music included in such a short time. A couple of areas of improvement would be 1) attack order shuffling mid attack was frustrating. As a player it feels un-fair when that occurs and breaks the flow of fun. 2) Adding some visual feedback (juice) would have gone a long way to add a greater satisfaction when killing the enemy.
Overall I really enjoyed this and am impressed with what you were able to accomplish in the 48 hours.
Super enjoyable! I love the in game messages that would pop up. Got hard to read near the end, but it was nice to see. Awesome you fit a tutorial so well into your entry. The pacing was good as well. After the first rush you had a nice slowdown and followed by another rush. The game mechanic was so simple but engaging. Made for a very enjoyable experience.
The player controller was really difficult to get a grasp of. It was particularly difficult around corners. Other than that I thought the concept was well done. The level of polish on your menu screen was superb.
Great job for a game jam entry! I am amazed at how much you managed to fit in for such a tight time limit. It can always be tough to not bite off too much for a jam game. I can't wait to see what you do next time.
Enjoyable game with a great visual aesthetic. The pacing was a little too fast. Felt like there was not much in terms of interesting decisions. I kept just following the same sequence, and did not see any benefits to changing it up.
Nice entry. I wasn't able to get to the 5 minute target, but I still enjoyed the entry. I noticed after game over I could pause and unpause the game and continue playing. I'm guessing you are changing the time scale and not checking player health when resuming.
I love the twist on Pac-Man. The integration of the theme was perfect. Great job including accessibility features. I only had time to play the compo version, but overall I found it to be very entertaining. Some feedback when the ghost is eaten would be nice. Sometimes it was not immediately obvious if it was the right match.
I love inspiration and the style in your game. I saw similar issues as others have mentioned, but overall it was still enjoyable. A couple of areas of improvemnt would be a health indicator (I didn't notice one) and some visual feedback when an enemy is killed.
The visual look of the marbles and the reflections were great. It was slightly frustrating to have such an unpredictable bounce for the blue marble. It would have been more engaging to have a more limited angle it could reflect at. Having it bounce directly back from the direction it was traveling was hard to anticipate. I know this would make the game easier so over time increasing the speed of the blue ball could have provided a difficulty ramp.
Fun game, but as mentioned by others you can die due to a random enemy spawn. It would be nice if there was a slight no spawn zone around the player.
Wow! This game was incredibly fun.
Please make an Android build. I would love to download this on my phone.
A feature that would be nice is the ability to target an enemy. There were a few instances of an enemy slipping by due to the auto aim focusing elsewhere.
What a unique mechanic! Really impressive and it works well given the limited time constraint. The movement was hard to get precise so avoiding the traps was difficult at times.
To help players get used to the mechanic you could start them off in a room with just a piece of cheese, and then move them into the room with traps and cheese. I killed myself a couple of times at the very start and had to redo the setup process each time.
Wow! Racing and fishing combined with a perfect theme. The music was great within the game. Really helps set the mood of the game.
Great entry!
Fun party game! I saw your bug fix mentioned locking the mouse, but it did not appear to work (playing in Google Chrome).
Outside of that it was a really fun game.
Congratulations on completing your first LD!
Echoing what was previously stated, I had a hard time understanding the objective. However I did managed to get to the third level. From there I could not figure out how to hit the two cylinders.
Neat idea to have the music volume tied to the fire distance. The third level sound clip was a little abrasive.
I discovered the different colors would send you to different (mirrored?) levels. I like this as a way to give the player the ability for unique experiences on each play through.
Love the turn based mechanic; however, whenever I tried to use the Wait option I would be sent to the main menu. To get around this I needed to perform small movements to pass time.
The art style fit the game perfectly. It reminds me of a lot of the old flash games found online. The text was a little hard to read.
@willowblade No offense intended! I can't write worth a darn.
The "crash" occurs every time I click wait. I went back and checked and it only occurs if I wait for 1.0s or less. Anything 1.2s and above works as intended. If it helps I am playing it in the browser.
@willowblade Google Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181
Great game! The turn based mechanic was a really great combo with platformer.
Some of the jumps were difficult to make, and needing to wait several turns for platforms to line up was annoying.
Great game! You did a great job of combining these genres.
It would be nice if you could throw a knife at the chopped ingredients to prevent them from going in the pot.
Great game! Showed an elementary school teacher and this is the type of thing they would use with their students.
The only piece I think is missing is the lack of race feeling. As you get closer to the finish there should be something to make it more exciting. Maybe after each lap you add a row of cards to increase the difficulty.
@Apples-mmmmmmmm @Dixonary @willowblade @polegar Thank you all for the feedback! The controller was not working as intended in 2D. Turns out the command to zero out the velocity was commented out. OOPS!
I uncommented it if you would like to give it another try.
@Nick-Rafalski Thanks! I have been researching a lot on game/level design, and was careful of how I progressed the difficulty. Very happy that you noticed.
@TheMonsterFromTheDeep Thanks for the feedback. Definitely need to work on a better player controller. I can understand the frustration of falling off due to the slippery controls when you reach the higher platforms.
Fun concept. Definitely not a game combo I would have expected to work so well together.
I encountered the same issue as @morphine, and my car also would turn constantly in some playthroughs. Not sure what would cause it, but if that was fixed this would be a fun game to try for the long haul.
@nicksmaddog Yes. I am playing it in Google Chrome.
Fun mechanic. I love these types of games. The bright colors did get a little difficult to stare at for long, but otherwise I really enjoyed timing the clicks to place the cards.
Neat game. Could be great as a mobile game since you can do each action with only one button.
The gap is very small to fly through, which makes it difficult from the start. If you started with larger gaps and had it shrink the further you go it might give a better feel to the game.
Great game! Great job with the level designs and difficulty progression.
Love the concept. Really cool how you could see the canvases which got through.
