Impressive first game. I never encountered a scenario where I felt like the game was against me and I couldn't win, so it seemed to function really well. I also really liked your retro game vibe and the sounds you chose. It would have been great if you had incorporated some music as well. Good work!

This was so good for a first game! Well done :)

I had fun playing the game. The game looks cute. The sounds are also nice. The indicators on what is coming in which lane are great, since the box fall speed varies, which allow the game to be more difficult without being unfair. Great game.

Congrats on making your first game! This was very cute and I enjoyed it. I liked the warnings telling me where the items were going to drop from. It let me plan ahead a bit.

Thought this was a nice little game, especially for your first game! Also, that you did it on a Pico 8! I haven’t used Pico 8 myself, but I do know that fantasy consoles do have their limitations, so, excellent work on getting a full game done on a limited system in the very short time frame, especially being your first ever game!

As for the game itself, I think it’s a solid game! Pretty simple, but clear. The graphics were nice, though, I’m not sure what my character was supposed to be. Kinda looked like a half person half scissors kinda thing.

If you’re interested in watching some rando play, I streamed me playing :)

Again, excellent work!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it ! Also love the fact of seeing someone's reaction by playing, I did have a blast and will continue on developping the game and make some more Jams 😉

Merry Christmas!

I enjoyed this little game! It just took me a while how to start the game, I thought it said 'Press Esc to start'. But other than that - great job! <3

The art, effects, and even startup screen go a long way to selling the retro vibe.  Great overall feeling.  I couldn't figure out to start it for quite awhile because I couldn't identify the 'z' key in the font you used.  Also, after playing once, I had to refresh to play again, the 'z' key no longer works to begin the game.  Thanks for a great game!

Simply love the pico 8 esthetic if done right - this was! Good Job!

Anyway, thanks for giving a try to Winter drop!
