That was quite fun :)
The music need more work and I wished the camera could follow the player when he fall beoynd the screen. still i enjoyed it very much! :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! The reason the camera doesn't follow the player is because that's supposed to be the death state. Basically, you die and there's nothing to see. The music needs A LOT more work, I know, it's not my forte. That's why I have a slider to disable it.

A nice little arcade game! It's a little repetitive, though that comes with the "arcade game" genre. There could have been a little extra variety, maybe an enemy or something, but I do enjoy its simplicity. And know that you know that the music needs quite a bit of work. Practice makes perfect! Overall, short and sweet, well done!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I did it with like 5 hours available for me to work on it so, yeah, not a lot of time. Adding an enemy doesn't feel right for this game. I plan on making it a mobile game and, as such, maybe add new things as power-ups and whatnot, I'll have to see. But yeah, the music needs A LOT of work.

Simple gameplay which worked kind of well, but I personally found it too easy to fall straight to the bottom and die. couldn't really see the theme in this one.

Developer

The way I thought the theme was implemented was the following:

    Size matters if you want a higher score!

The idea was that you had to change sizes in order to be able to collect more stars and, as such, the size of the ball matters if you want to get more points. But thanks for playing!

Very simple, very gentle and calm while going down, music can get annoying while playing haha    My best score is 103 ;(  "I know i suck!"

Good game! :D

Developer

I totally agree in the music department. That's why I put a warning on the game's page. Thanks for your feedback!

Easy to learn and collect points. Most of my deaths occurred from falling too fast. My high score is 126! Thanks for sharing!

Developer(+1)

That's exactly what I was going for: easy points collection. Nice score. Thanks for playing!

Nice entry, actually got me hooked for a moment. Nice one, it definitely has lots of ways it can be improved but it's an addictive idea!

Developer(+1)

"it's an addictive idea" -> google store upload -> let the money begin to drop

Thanks for playing

hahaha plot twist: idea stolen

Developer

My first thought about this idea was that it sounds like a basic mobile game, but I can't tell you from where it sounds familiar

Submitted

Nice game, the music is a bit repetitive though. My high score was 205

Developer

Impressive high score!

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm fully aware that the music sucks, that's why I warn players on the page :)

Thanks for playing it!

well, i'm too greedy for stars to make satisfying score

Developer

I trust you'll get a good score if you play a few times
