I was liking the game at first, but the moment the screen flashed, I scrolled away. Going from a screen full of black to a full screen of white and back is a really drastic change that definitely should have a warning.
Put a warning on it now, thanks for the heads up :)
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've changed the input button to X and made it harder with a smoother ramping in speed, the top speed seems pretty hard to me now :D
cool stuff in here. difficulty needs to be raised drastically. 200+pts and nothing was changing. Would like game Shorter and harder with win condition
Great game - very compelling & fried my brain bit too while on auto-pilot! 👍
(I was on a roll for a massive score, but alas, lost it when I panicked-pressed at the end)
TIP: Might be easier on players to actually use the X key with BTN(5) - as you're currently mixing buttons by saying "Press X", when BTN(4) == 🅾️ in PICO-8, not X.
(Try the gamepad/input tester, just to the right of your game screen above to confirm)
Cool little game. Started off a bit slow, but fun once it got going fast!
