Cute little game! The only "downside" I see is that there is no incentive to not be stretched, so you end keeping the spacebar pushed.  If you have, for example, more speed when you are tiny, it could be an interesting trade between the mobility and covered surface.  Great job for half the time nonetheless!

Good job! The lemmings were cute, the whole art style infact was very nice, just enough information conveyed but not overloading. Good sound and gameplay design!

There are some very good design decisions in this. I like that the strikes from dropping lemmings aren't permanent. I like that you can make the game more difficult for yourself by trying to juggle multiple lemmings to get the satisfying 'Wow!' on each of them and stacking those 500 points. The stretch mechanic feels really good.

For me this is a 5/5 game on each category.

The game is perfect for playing while listening to a podcast. Very chill.

Developer

Thanks a lot for your great feedback!

Definitely needs difficulty scaling, was too easy to just play infinitely. Not sure why or how the damage ticker kept resetting to 0. Also, shouldnt be possible to have two drop on opposite sides at the same time, as it's literally impossible to save both.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Many things need to be improved. Definitely going to make some quality changes after the jam.

Really cool idea! Love the use of choir and drums. I just wish there was more in game music. Overall, very fun.

Developer

I just couldn't find anything as fun as the quoir and drums in a row :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Cute idea, but I feel like there is little incentive not to just stay in the middle with the platform stretched all the time

Developer

Definetely there's room for improvement wich I will make after the jam.

Thank you for the feedback!

Awesome work, I made it to like 10,000. The only thing I have to say is maybe increasing their spawn rate as time goes on to make it harder? Other than that it's a solid game!

Developer

The spawn rate actually increases over time, but I guess it is a bit too subtle :)

Thanks for the feedback!
