For how long you had to make it, It was pretty fun and I can see why ppl would like it. Good work!

This is made in Scratch? :0

Really like the game, and getting into a flow is really fun. Like other people said, it needs more juice (fire sounds, enemy particles, etc).

The one large problem I have with the game is that the key to reset is the same key as to fire your weapon, which leads me to never see my final ranking because I'm always hammering down the fire button during the game. Reset should have been LEFT + RIGHT + SPACE in my opinion.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We're definitely going to fix a lot of this stuff down the line, but first we're switching over to a better engine

would love to see some screenshake and particles added, it would really bring the game to life. it was a very fun time trying to last longer and longer each playthrough, good job

Really like the game!

I don't know why after a couple of try the game freeze or go but stuttering.

Btw nice submission

Developer

Gee i wonder who made this music haha.

Developer

Oh yeah hold on I'll give you project access

Well, all I can say is perfect.

Just had the game slow down the more I died, but at least it got me the X rating (it’s not a bug, it’s a feature :p)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah I'm not sure why the game slows down it's probably due to the engine

Nice game! And with Scratch? Even more impressive.

Amazing! The controls are simple and make sense and the gameplay is addicting!

Very fun, couple of minor things control wise though. It'd be lovely if you could use a+d or left+right, I always find it really odd using arrow keys on a game. Also if you are holding space while you die then the game instantly starts again.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We'll definitely add re-mappable controls in a later update

This was made in scratch wtf? Impressive.. very nice

Developer

Yup. Part of a personal challenge

Really enjoyed the sfx and music of the game, especially whenever you lose.

Liked the game's theme, great entry!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Game is really good. Initial "calm before the storm" and further "try to dodge million of flying cubes" work really well together.

I like music. It's intense and epic.

Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to design it to be kind of virtually impossible after a while (the difficulty grows exponentially, but also your score), and even I can't get anything past an A+ rank.

Nice game, i like the arcade game style, the music fits well, great entry

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Nice idea having the stage be the clock! Music works really well with this type of game too :))

Thank you for the feedback!

Cool game, and nice use of the theme and limitation to keep the movement round the edge of a clock. I didn't manage to get a very good rank at all, but it was nice how quickly I could restart the game after failing - it kept bringing me in for more! A couple of extra sound effects would have been nice (on shooting or enemies spawning or something), but you've got a great start of a game here!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We definitely would have added more sound effects and just - effects in general - but the engine we were using was very limited and doing that would be quite a hassle.

Hey there! First of all, ncie concept, but the game is waaayy to difficult! As a general tip, in game jams people like easier games ;). The music is nice, but the graphics needs some improvement, the biggest problem though is that the  game lags a lot after a while. I think you could really improve your game dev skills if you used a different software, Unity and Godot for example are both pretty easy to learn and still very powerful. 

Anyways, I hope the feedback helped you a bit, and it would be nice if you could check out our submission too, it's actually a bit like your game in reverse,  thank you! :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! If we were to follow up this project, we would definitely make it start out easier (I do agree this game is very difficult), and we used Scratch just as a personal challenge.

Oh, nice challenge!
