Got to 56, the approximate point at which the game gets impossible to beat.

In any case, this is my favorite game from the jam so far. Very cute idea and implementation, would have played this on the 3310 for sure. :)

Oh wow, you are the first to beat my score, so here it is, your medal :D

And true, it starts slow and it gets hard to beat really fast, I will teak that when the jam ends! But glad to know you had fun with it, thanks :)

Haha, thank you! I'll check it out later again if you do change it, I really like the game. ^^

Pretty fun game! Nicely thought mechanic, really enjoyed it! For a moment around a score of 20 i was thinking of writing that the difficulty ramp was non-existent but then it did start to ramp up and i managed to get to 43 before i got rekt by the AI. 

All around great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing!  Yes, I really have to fix the difficulty ramp when the jam ends ahah. But that was a great score, the best I had was 55!

I really like the sound effects and music, you nailed it! Nice intro screen. The gameplay and mechanics are solid and fun, but after i got to around 15 points, I felt like I had the hang of it but it wasn't getting any harder. would be cool to see the difficulty slowly increase and introduce new enemy types. Or a way to complete the level, like maybe in addition to shovels, something else appears sometimes that you can collect to beat the level.

The music is by Trix, from the jam resources! Thank you for trying it, I was aiming for something like Snake where there is simple rules you can understand right away and play relaxed "forever".

As others said, I feel like the game is too slow.  I'd also say there is not much variety, there's just one type of enemy, one powerup and one level. Maybe if you introduced new mechanics, like portals or something, it could be more interesting.

Developer

I wanted to keep it simple while scaling in difficulty, in this case by speeding up the time where humans appear. But those are neat ideas, thank you for trying the game!

Very interesting concept but wish difficulty scaled better as it seemed very slow going.

you could add few different type of humans to make it more interesting, like some guy who starts running, surprising players to make them react fast.
Loved the animations and UI btw.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, it starts really slow but by the score of 30 it gets hard real fast! 

I actually thought about adding more types of humans, but kept it simple. Thank you for trying it out!

Oh sadly I only scored 27 and gave up. was expecting it to get harder by score 20 XD 

All the best!

Developer(+1)

Well, after the jam ends I'll update the difficulty :) hope it was not too boring!

Developer

Thanks!!

This is a beautiful game! I loved aesthetics and gameplay becomes addictive quite fast. Spetial mention to the (perfect?) recreation of 3310 menus!

Developer

The HTML5 version ruined some of the parts of the menu, but thanks for noticing :)
Thank you for playing, hope you enjoyed it!

The restrictions are followed in a nearly perfect way! So fun!

Developer

I tried to get the feeling right! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

Very funny game ! I tried hard to have my best score ! Maybe put more boys faster to have a better pace of play. But very good job ! Especialy for graphism :)  

Developer(+1)

I was short on time to test it well, so the difficulty curve is kind of messed up, starts really slow and then goes really fast when it reaches around 30 points. Thank you for trying it out :)

Nice game, and good art!

Developer

Thank you!

Fun game and an accurate presentation with the sound effects, main menu and gameover screens similar to the actual 3310 games. I also liked the implementation of numpad controls to make the game feel even more of the 3310 game!

The games speed could have increaced faster as the game felt a bit slow for too long. But maybe that's just my problem, though.

Still, a great game. Played it for a while until got caught. I might play it later again just to see if there's more content to find after certain number of points.
The title screen reminded me of Bubble Ghost : )

Developer

Thanks! The more people you scare, the faster they appear, but you can't see that very much, once you reach like 30 points or so. The difficulty curve is a mess ahah

Oh Bubble Ghost, there's a game I didn't knew I forgot :)
