Nice! I didn't make it to Atlantis in the time I had but I got 7 pearls before I died. I like the sense of panic that the mechanics incude as you slowly run out of oxygen and know you have to go fast. I found the horizontal movement to be a little too loose and it was really easy to get out of control, especially when jumping off a platform but I guess that's part of the danger ;)
Haha this was completely ridiculous - in a very fun way :D I didn't get too much time to play it but I minced my way through a good few of those pesky Plentanians! The sense of fun in this is great. My criticism is just that it needs a bit of polish :) There are some oddities like being able to drive underneath boxes and that sort of thing that kinda detract from it. Good stuff :)
I love this :) Spent way more time playing it than I had intended to. The mechanic is pretty unique and way fun and the puzzles are mostly well designed. My only criticism is that it can be a little fiddly and hard to guess where your ball is gonna bounce. Perhaps some visual feedback showing where the first couple of bounces would land would help a lot. Also, the difficulty curve at one point just _suddenly_ went up about 1000% and threw me. Good work though!
Hah who knew it was so difficult to get pizza ingredients out in the space colonies?! Excellent combination of game styles with cheesy restaurant music to match :)
By way of criticism, I felt the digging element could have gone just a touch quicker to help it feel a bit more manic. Otherwise, great stuff!
Hey this is nice and I'd love to see it developed further. Perhaps over on the Lexaloffle BSS :)
I really like the games general mechanic of colour matching to get a plus, mismatch to get a minus but somehow I feel it would be a lot more playable if it went in the other direction :D
One other comment, the story makes no sense but lol it's a game so who cares!
Love this :) On my first play through, I felt the time limit was unfair but on a second go, it seems about right :) Perhaps an earlier warning of how quickly time was running away would have been nice.
That music! I felt like I was descending into madness as I went further down the steps. Nice touch :D
Nice, I like it :) I sometimes felt I was winning levels through chance more than skill but that just added to the entertainment.
I played the web version but it just didn't work properly for me. I like the character sprite at least and the rest of the game looks cool from the screenshots :)
This was genuinely harrowing :D Love it, good work.
Nice! The music gives it a lightweight atmosphere and then... you suffer a horrible fate when you dive too deep for your suit :D I would just comment that the movement feels a bit basic - the player could do with some momentum so it feels a bit more realistic when making those sharp turns.
Agree with the others, it's a little slow but it looks very nice and I like the concept :)
Hey this is great! It took me a moment to realise that the timing of the click makes a difference but once I got into the swing of it, I had a blast!
I like the core mechanic in the game :) I would just say it felt a little slow and took quite a while to feel like I was making progress.

I love the theme and the mechanic of the game but I found it really hard to control. I felt like I just didn't "get" it.

Really nice little puzzle game!

Very nice. Reminded of several shareware shooters of the early '00s :)

I just played the jam version but now I'm definitely going back to play the post-jam game! Very interested to see where you've taken it.

Excellent! I really enjoyed this :) Reminded me of Portal, Life Goes On, and of course Minit.

I need new hands now! Ended up twisting my fingers into positions they've never been in before 😆 This was a really fun idea.

The ending 💩 😆

Excellent. Just needs controller support and a soundtrack and it'll be 👌

The theme reminds me of Papers Please. This was great fun :)
Coffee Run by jelch 2022-04-19T11:15:53Z ♥ 1
This would've made a great 80s arcade game 😸 I feel like I know what it's like to work for Deliveroo now.

Good fun that made me wish I had a proper mouse instead of my laptop trackpad 😆 This game accurately reflects my struggle every single morning 😴

I really like this! Strong old school 90s public domain game vibes; I think it's the music. 👌

Love the atmosphere. I ran out of juice far too quickly because I kept accidentally blowing up the canisters 😆

Agreed with what the other commenters have said - the scoring was confusing at first and a visual or audible cue to let you know when you've messed up and bombed the ground would make a huge difference. I like the concept! Like a reverse Missile Command mixed with Space Invaders

I love the story. I really hope you go on and add _lots more_ to this in the future - there's definite potential for something with a longer experience 👍

Hah this was great :) Gave me Eversion vibes. Agree with the other comments that the dialogue scenes could've been slicker but otherwise, great job!

I love the atmosphere 😆 It's so bleak.
