How was your experience with Mini Jam?
It was great. I did the jam with my brother. It was his first jam and he was pumped. I had a really good time. Look forward to the next one.

Loved the art ! The concept is an easy to understand one, but alwas fun. Good job on the rhythm and music !

This was great! Beautiful art, very challenging gameplay but well done! My best was 11k, but I saw someone else got like 30k+ and that is awesome ha! Great entry :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing. 11k is a great score! If you make it to 30k+ you see the killer AllSpike haha. Maybe we will post an image of it so people can see how crazy that sucker is.

Absolutely love the art style! The music in the background was also awesome, really upbeat and perfect for this type of game. The idea is also cool and really nicely executed.

Tho there was a bug when I first played where if you just jump over the initial needles when the game starts, the needles just dont spawn...

But otherwise, an overall great game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! Yeah the bug is weird and doesn't always happen. The spikes fall faster then they are supposed to and it messes stuff up. We think it is contained to the web build. Anyways, I'm glad you liked it! :)

Really fun! The fast moving gray nails ended up being my bane at around 14k 

Developer(+1)

14k is pretty good! Those nails are no joke lol.

muy buen juego y se ve genial que cuando me pega un pincho la burbuja va haciéndose mas chiquita.

¡Gracias por jugar el juego!

Really fun! Challenging game, especially when the fast spikes started coming in. The music kept the intensity up. Great work!

Developer

Thank so much for playing! We had a great time making it.

The world lived in peace until the nation of the very fast nails attacked. Thankfully I managed to hold for a while and got around 20k points. Even if everything gets very hard very fast, It's quite exciting and requires a lot of coordination and speed. Super fun game!

Developer

Haha! Man, 20k is a good score!

lol is this an Avatar reference I see!?  We should have named the game Bubble Bender, "But all that changed when the nail nation attacked!" Love it!

Submitted(+1)

Me, in the beginning: This is easy!

Me, when the nails of death arrive: I'm sorry, I take it back!


Overall, very fun and well presented!

Developer

HA! Thanks so much for playing. Those nails man. So fast. So mean.

Submitted

Yes that moment really stuck out to me because the exact moment I felt like I needed more it was like the developer appeared and said "Don't worry, I got you fam." xD

Submitted(+1)

This was a really fun game! Great use of the limitation and solid implemented mechanics. Super difficult when the spikes arrive but I managed to get just over 15k. Good job!

Developer

15k is a good score! Thanks so much for playing.

I think this is my favourite game I've played from this jam so far. The sound design compliments the art style really well and the gameplay is very addicting!

Developer

Thank you for playing! We had a great time making the game.

Wow

great presentation and good concept.

nice game.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the balancing of the game, I thought that the difficulty wasn't too hard, and wasn't too easy. I wish you had added some more depth, like a upgrades menu or something.

Developer

Thank so much for playing!

That is a killer idea. I think an upgrades menu would be sick. I see increased fire rate and maybe like triple shot in a fan shape, that kind of stuff.

Submitted(+1)

Fantastic game - love the pacing and aggressiveness of it! Thought it was a nice touch to have a handful of quiet moments between the particularly difficult nail sections, which gave me just enough time to prepare for the next onslaught. Made it to 30k before meeting the wild spikes you've mentioned in another comment lol

Submitted(+1)

I liked the art style, game process is too fast for me, couldn't get anywhere far. Nice game

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!

The game is fast. I couldn't get far either! The highscore we have is from my teammate who did all the coding. There are some pretty wild spikes that start coming out at 30k-ish so it just gets harder lol.

Submitted(+1)

nice graphics! tried beating your highscore but couldn’t even come close (17k) :D there was one thing i didn’t quite understand: sometimes the enemies would move downwards immediately for a few pixels. it seemed like it was synced with the background music? this made it really hard to hit them.

Developer

I noticed that too on the web build. It is a bug. If you triple jump it fixes it I think haha! Jam games man, the bugs are fun. The Windows and Linux builds do not have that problem from the plays I did. 

Thanks so much for playing!
