How was your experience with Mini Jam?
Even though I did it all myself! I had a good experience where I was forced to develop the game in such a short time and I liked the end result. I also liked the feedback on the community discord. Seeing other players developing helps to shed some light on some development lags.

Simple, but actually pretty fun. I thought the little rectangle character was a random/nice touch.

Simple, but i like it! great job! Keep up the good work.

Only thing id improve on would be the movement, it felt. a bit.. slidey? (maybe thats the word)

Hi! Thanks for the feedback, and that's why I made some changes! :)

  • Pressing Enter starts the game and try again.
  • Pressing Backspace returns you to the title screen.
  • Decreases the time between Rounds so you don't have to wait so long.
  • I removed the heart at the top, because it's just one life ;P
  • Changed the name "Game Over" to "You lost".
  • Removed an annoying "onclick" error.

That's what I could improve, Thank you ;)

Fun, but I would remove the waiting time between rounds and at start, and make the "You died, Restart, Main Title", Just have text "You died", and pressing any button would make you go back to the game, because nobody really needs to go to the main menu after starting playing, especially in a jam game, so it would be more of the action. (and, please, please, please, MAKE THE PIXELS SAME SIZE!!!!!!!!)

Cute and simple game, had fun playing it but thought that waiting for the rounds were a bit slow. Nice work overall though!

Very cute game. I loved the little platform character, with his moving eyes. Loved the retro music/fx too!
It was fun to play, but a little challenging for me. The game was fun, but there seemed to be too much "down time" between restarting a level and waiting for the balls to appear. To me, that extra waiting to replay it was more frustrating than the difficulty itself. I think I would have tried longer if it wasn't for the waiting for the ball to appear.

Very fun! Simple, but plays well and the amount of character you got out of that little blue block is great, who knew it only needed eyes?
