The sound is hysterical, I'd wake up by the fall sound alone :D
One issue is that some bombs are dropping outside of the screen where you can't catch them. Maybe drop the bombs a bit more frequently so it gets a bit more difficult ? Otherwise it's solid.
Thank you for your feedback!
"You lose. lol"
It's a fine game, but I have a personal distaste for trolling the audience in any manner. Don't let them feel like their time was wasted or not appreciated.
Ah, you're right. I didn't think about how that would come across, and that was careless of me. Thank you for playing and for your feedback!
That was a fun little game. My only complaint is that I think the speed reduction when you lose parts was a bit too harsh. It seems that there is no way to recover once you mess up. Overall, it was a nice entry. Nice work!
Thank you for the feedback! It is more punishing than I intended D:
I'm going to dream about the bomb sfx lol
I am so sorry! Thank you for playing!!!
It was a joke, don't worry! congrat for the game :)
First off, I just want to say that I really enjoyed reading through your retrospective on the game page. It's cool to read your learnings and takeaways!
- Theme: Ties in more around sleeping, presumably the people in the houses are dreaming too
- Fun: Clear game loop, although the risk/reward management could use some tuning. The last minute of the game was when it really picked up, which I enjoyed.
- Controls: Controls were responsive, although it is really punishing when losing parts. It slows down the player enough that it guaranteed a game over for me in one playthrough.
- Graphics: I liked the rotation on the wheel. I thought the explosion puff within the basket was cool too.
- Audio: No feedback
- A11y: No feedback
- Originality: No feedback
Thank you for the detailed feedback! I'm learning now from the comments that the speed decrease was harder than I anticipated. I'll keep that in mind for next time!
well done, that was a fun little jam game, and a nice take on the theme! :)
Thank you!!
