-Everything was made in the moment, aside from some basic Scene/Button manager to move through menus.
-Font is Tiny5 from Google

This game is pretty hard to play but I like the concept!

Potion Shop Rush

I like the graphics and the atmosphere of the game! What I suggest is to let the player choose the difficulty, because for me it was very hard to control many things at the same time. Also, maybe change the key swapping - let player press between one of QWER or WASD or arrows, because big amount of keys makes the game really hard. Anyway, good job!

The game exceeded my expectations ! It's very fun , but I just can't manage to do so many things at once and instantly die lol

You, the universe and a button

I like the idea of expending flappy bird but handling so much things at once is too complex for me ^^' Cool retro visuals!

Truly a unique game! Loved it! :D
I love the overall theme of the game and how you must manage every little things in the game to survive! A little bit hard for me tho (since I'm suck at multi tasking XD)
The visuals and animations are top tier!
Overall a great game!

Super Duper Space Wizard

Great use of the theme, the visuals look clean and polished but as others pointed out a tutorial of sorts would be great. Could maybe use a stronger indicator/cue when the flight key switches too but I could just be bad too.

"FUSINO" Fusion ON! the time I was reincarnated as a Jazz experté after training classically for 20 years!

I liked the concept a lot. I just wish I had a second to familiarize myself with the UI before I was thrown into the game!

Thanks for the feedback! Hope it wasn't too frustrating, it does takes a few tries to get used to the control but I understand there's a lot of games to try so the difficulty could have been dialed back a bit.

PascalDevSubmitted347 days ago(+2)

Fun game but it's start a bit too hard. Would be nice to have the difficulty increase over time. Everything was going wrong right at the start! For me at least.

Road To Education

AndrewCroweDeveloper347 days ago(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! The modules can break randomly so it could be they all decided to die on the first seconds for you. Still, Difficulty/easing the player into each module so they get used to them before them breaking seems a common feedback. Hope it wasn't too frustrating!

I really liked the feel of the game, and it really hits me right in the ADHD multitasking gut haha.

music was great and the esthetic is on point, and I find the mix of ways to keep your self afloat, manage your speed and shooting really fun~

Glad you liked it!

GlueckblubbertSubmitted347 days ago(+2)

Awesome art and really innovative game concept, but it is too hard, as you have too much to do right from the beginning

Still, keep up the good work :D

Submitted

AndrewCroweDeveloper347 days ago(+1)

Thanks! We purposely made it hard, but you're right we could have done something like introducing modules one by one so the player has time to get to know them before they break. Still I hope you enjoyed it.

I loved the the style and the gameplay was fun (but so hard lmao)

Submitted

AndrewCroweDeveloper347 days ago(+1)

Thank you! We made it purposely hard although since we've been playing it for the longest time (all the week to test things and whatnot) we got used to it so I increased the difficulty even more. I hope it didn't felt too unforgiving
