Cool mechanics, nice game play!
good game mechanics. had fun playing this game
This game is simple, yet super addicting! I feel like it could benefit from music and possibly a little abmient waterfall noise, but this is pretty good overall!
I experimented with ambient noises such as a waterfall, as you suggested, but I felt it was out of place with the increasing speed of the gameplay and didn't quite fit. I also tried searching for other types of audio, but I was having trouble finding fitting tracks in the short time left, so even though it feels bare, I prefered to leave it as is.
I might go back after the jam and work a bit more on the audio side, specially in some issues that appear in longer sessions.
Simple yet fun game.
Well done!
Simple yet very fun game. Mechanics work really great. I liked how it got progressively faster and therefore harder. The clack sounds of the rocks almost made a background music track on their own :D Good job!
Really nice and satisfying game. A simple mechanic well executed. You judged the point at which you see the next rock really well.
Pacing was good for us testing but maybe lower how the game accelerates. Or, you could add a streamer mode for a longer more nail-biting highscore run.
At first the sound effect gave me a headache but it was satisfying too. It makes sense if you imagine a metal grappling hook. Perhaps add water splash to the same sound file.
The screenshot doesn't do it justice. I didn't do one this time but it's probably important to get more clicks. Something more zoomed in as the main one and I see people using animated gifs for the rest.
Thank a lot for your feedback! I appreciate specially the screenshot part, as I didn't know you could add gifs instead and showing the with movement would certainly be an improvement. I'll see if i can change it
I enjoyed it a lot! Simple and really smooth game.
Really simple concept, but fun, addictive and true to the theme. Graphics are fine, but that one sound effect is really hard on the ears. Something a bit more....watery would be nice. Great work!
Thank you! Yeah, I certainly agree, specially with the sound issue. I might even post an update with some improvements like that after the jam
