Took me a while to notice the box shrinking, but once I realized what was going on it was a clever way to introduce the theme. I agree with Gallone that variable jumping would be really beneficial to this game; more control over the player would make for more intense moments and higher scores. I loved the particle effects and general feedback whenever you get hit, well done on that!
I love that you made this in Roblox! A game that was made in Roblox Studio was definitely not something I was expecting. It is a little challenging collecting the food because I feel like it fades a little quicker than I'd like, and a lot of the snakes tend to die at the stars so it's tough to collect all of it - though this could be because of the AI of the NPC snakes. I do like how the movement feels though, the turning and the acceleration/deceleration are all very smooth. Very clever of you to make this in Roblox, nice job!
Simple game for simple people indeed, but it gets very chaotic very quickly! I've always loved idle games like this where you don't have to do much while you passively generate income, with the gameplay quickly ramping up as you purchase upgrades. I liked how you utilized the theme, where the player has a limited space to build money machines until they are forced to save up to expand the platform. This would be an awesome mobile game if you ever plan on developing more into it!
You did a great job with introducing mechanics in this game! I'm not very good at puzzle games, but the transition from a hard level into an easy level with a new mechanic was refreshing and helped me feel a sense of progress. I made it to level 12, with the two portals and the bomb, before I got stuck. The background was also very pretty with the colorful boxes, and the art goes well together. I'd be interested to see this game fleshed out more, perhaps in a dungeon crawler setting? Nice job!
I've always been a sucker for Flappy Bird. I spent a lot of my days in the middle school cafeteria trying to grind out higher scores to compete with my friends! I like the art a lot, but I do think the hitboxes on the stalactites and the bat could be tweaked a little bit. There were a few moments where I didn't appear to hit anything but my bat would fall off the screen and I'd get a game over. With that being said, the movement does feel pretty good with the jumping; I think you nailed the gravity and upward forces. Well done!
I'm not the best at puzzle games so I only got to about the fourth level, with the three red flowers on the bottom. I like the concept of clearing up space to push the white objects into the flowers to make them bloom! It was also a nice touch to make the rock light up when you're able to move. A little challenging for me but you implemented the theme well!
I'm playing on Firefox and I didn't have the issue subsage had. This is as far as I got until I couldn't figure out where else to move my fruits! The missing fruits issue may have something to do with your fruit objects being emojis. Overall, the gameplay was enjoyable and I think you captured the limited space theme well.
