Nice twist on the known classic even though impossible to win.
Nice job for “a couple of hours”, but I’d like some music, SFX, particles. Classic game juice stuff.

Pretty simple game and submission, a solid take on the theme - really good for a 1 day effort!
Maybe it'd be cool if everyone had a way to win, since the game feels like an uphill battle from the get go - so all players could feel like superwinners. I saw the one guy who broke it like Tetris by going 350+; that's also cool :)
Again, I can appreciate the speed at pushing this out in a day - very speedy. Cheers!
Haha, there's no bug here. This game was made in the last few hours of the jam (without an engine) so the code is all spaghetti, leading to this outcome.
There's a ton of stuff at play here, and if you're interested I could explain it all, but for now we can just say you were so good at the game you broke it (my high score is in the 80s lol).

Yeah, I wanted to do much more but didn't have the time, unfortunately. Thanks for giving it a try though!
