Gameplay 3.5/5 - An enjoyable arcade game with the movement serving as an interesting challenge. Though, it feels like the challenge stops ramping up at a certain point, I think it could be improved with constantly having red rocks spawn on the grid. And the mechanics of the timer are a bit hard to understand. But as it stands, it's a fun enough time.

Visuals 4.5/5 - Really love the game boy aesthetic and the colors used, especially on the menu. Only small critique is that the player's outline doesn't match the palette. Otherwise, perfect look!

Audio 3.5/5 - While I do enjoy the sound effects and appreciate there being music, the music could use a bit of work. It can get somewhat grating at points. But I do appreciate the effort put into it.

Overall 4/5 - A fun arcade type game to kill some time, it stands just fine on its own.

Theme 3/5 - The box theme does fit but it doesn't really inform mechanics or anything but it does fit!

The sound is... questionable, but don't worry I did the same thing on the 2021 gmtk game jam, the controls are a bit clunky and the character seems to move in a grid even if the red things don't spawn in a grid, so there are times where I got stuck cuz I couldn't access the green stuff

Developer

thanks for the comment, after the jam I will try to improve the game

i really like the art, colours and audio, maybe you could add a powerup that clears some of the red stones :) Well done!

I like the graphics and mood of the game. Has a spooky gameboy vibe to it.

I could only ever get one rock and died on my way to the second rock every time. It seems like it could be a fun game though. Lots of potential.

thanks for the feedback!

I fix the speed bug
