Should probably make the text a different colour then the rest of the objects in the game. Liked how you get smaller when you break a layer I assume it is.

The text is a little in your face if you could make it a little transparent and put it as like a part of the background it would be great

Unique mechanics and ultimately fun  simple game, just a bit more variation would be nice to see, because it is a bit easy.

Submitted

It would have been nice if the timer was a different color from the objects to prevent them from blending in.

Love the simplistic art. Very nice!

Developer

Thank you!

Clean. Love the simple design. Enjoyed this, played it quite a bit. 

Not totally sure why the space bar manual pop mechanic is a thing, though? 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The manual pop mechanic was implemented as a way to sacrifice a life to push objects away without having to hit an object. Currently it does not fill a purpose, but maybe it would if more complex objects started falling down.

Nice and calm music and simple gameplay. The only thing I have to say is the number in the background felt a little intrusive as you couldn't see objects that well when they fell through it. Other than that great game.

Thank you! I agree about the score counter interrupting the gameplay, making it smaller and lower opacity would probably help.

very simple but yet super addicting. Good Submission!

Thank you!
