Fun game. I would play it in my free time on mobile :)

Developer

Wow, thank you so much for your kind comment <3 maybe I should polish it a little bit and reupload after the jam then. :D

Haha, yeah that's true randomness I guess xD a few more sections would've probably been better though :D thank you very much for playing and commenting  :))

Loved the concept nice approach to the theme, my highscore is 4731.1 :)
The controls are not what I'm used to on a pc but surprisingly I find it to work pretty well!
The soundtrack is nice and the visuals are simple but effective.

I would make it so that you can restart the game without having to go back to the main menu for a better user experience.

Now there is a bug I experienced where if you click too fast "go back to main menu" you end up in the menu bug the game is stuck which is a bit frustrating. Other than that only minor visual bugs like area loading within camera view but it doesn't really affect the gameplay.

Overall great game, good job!

Thank you so much for your detailed review <3 first if all: nice score :D 

Restarting the game without going to the main menu is a really good suggestion and I'm a little embarrassed I didn't think of that myself xD probably I was too much into coding the scene transitions and didn't have a proper gamer view in it anymore :D this would most probably resolve the bug you mentioned as well... After uploading it I also noticed it once in a while.

Area loading in the camera view?! Shit, that shouldn't happen.. I need to recheck my logic there, thank you for the heads up :)

Thank you again for your comment and for playing the game :))

The controls are a little difficult but the game is very fun. It's like a hypercasual game

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and commenting on it :) Hyper-casual was what I was striving for, actually, so thank you <3 I'll try to get my next jam game play-tested before submitting it, so I can tweak the controls. Thanks for the input :)

I really like your interpretation and implementation of the theme! I had a little trouble controller the guy though using a trackpad. Only got up to around 3k score. Maybe add more input keys like A/D or Left/Right so that people can play using whatever method works best for them. Nice submission!!

Developer

Ohh nooo :D :D I started with Left/Right and A/D movement, but ditched it for a mouse controller xD Sorry for that! And thank you for playing and commenting on it <3
