Cool! I enjoyed this lots. My score: 13622m. I was just hammering the buttons until the letter ones came along (where there were too many to mash). The maths stage made it feel like Chess-boxing after all that key-pressing!

Funny game, my record il 16k!!!!

I got a high score of 12678m! I like the animations and all the effects you added! Changing up the input was pretty unexpected and a nice change of pace

I like the aspect of the game where you have different stages to go through rather than just pressing space, (My highest was like 12,000) Great fun game !!

Developer

thanks :)

Interesting game, my highscore is 6989 nice! I like the added of another button like Up and Down, random letter and math, but i can't use my numpad for the the math question. Maybe if you add boost after the pumpkin launch with another question or typing game will be more interesting.

yeah, you are right. Checking for the numpad as well wouldnt be too complicated. I coded it on my laptop which doesnt have a numpad. you dont think about the things you dont see I guess :D

Thanks for the feedback :)

Starts out simple and then unexpected change hah. I think prepping the change with a countdown or something could be beneficial. I was able to get 10k first playthrough then 16k, the math stumps you hah. Great engaging game.

16k? damn, congrats. thats better than me.

Thanks for the feedback :)

I really like it.    Only problem I had was in phase 3 the 'alpha' keys worked fine but the number '9' would not register on main keyboard or num-pad.   Nevermind...I just tried again and what looked like a 9 was supposed to be a 'g'.  Perhaps using capital letters would have made it more clear.

The concept was very well executed and I think this game is a gem.  Was a fun surprise.

Developer

yeah, i actually noticed that while playtesting. but in the scramble of time i dont wanted to switch out the whole font. And capital letters made the aligning a litte bit of. it was one of the "well-nothing-i-can-do-right-know" problems :D

Thanks for playing :)

Pretty cool and fun, keeps you on your toes with the changing inputs! 

Developer

10461 meters!

The gameplay is pretty simple, but it all works fine + it was a delightful surprise when the pumpkin shot into space at the end!

thanks :)

Silly little game. I love it. Though my brain was not ready to do math this early in the morning. I liked the juice and animations you did. The pumping challenges were engaging though perhaps a noise or something when the challenge changes would be nice. The end animation was a bit long, but very satisfying. Great work! 

Developer

yeah, thats a good idea. wouldnt be too complicated to play a little sound at the change. Thanks for the feedback :)

Submitted

Very interesting game, well done!

Developer

thanks :)

Cool idea!

Developer

thanks :)

Good game - my favourite part was the balloon deflated gently falling back to earth (that was beautifully captured). 

The rest was silly yet educational fun.

Developer(+1)

thanks! all credits for that go to the wonders of trigonomitry. its amazing how a little sin or cos-function can make things look instantly better

thanks for the feedback :)

Nice game! Wasn't expecting to do math in this type of game lol

Developer

thanks! :)
