I like that the stars have a range of different emotions displayed, it adds to the character of the game a lot! The gameplay itself is also satisfying with the sound effects, though the slowdown when looping multiple enemies is a bit long for my personal liking. Great work regardless!

Developer

Feedback is much appreciated, perhaps we need to speed it up a tad then. Thanks for the kind words too ♥️

Really well done!

The visual style combined with the music and sound effects creates a super cohesive and polished vibe—everything complements each other perfectly.

The gameplay is intuitive, nicely executed, and genuinely fun. I especially loved that little pause during the score stacking—it’s a clever touch that adds a satisfying rhythm to the experience.

A great entry with thoughtful details all around!

Developer

This is too nice of a comment, thank yoo so much ♥️♥️♥️. I'm glad ya enjoyed that pause, we wanted to emulate some of the magic "number go up" in balatro, so I'm glad a simple switch of the time scale did the trick.

Really fun little game! Simple, yet addictive! At first I had a bit of a difficult time since I have to use my mousepad, because I don't have a mouse at the moment, and I thought you had to click everytime you wanted to go somewhere D: When I figured you could just drag the cursor, it became really satisfying to play!

I also really like the sprites and animations :D

Simple but well executed fun little game. The art is so cuteee tho :D

It's really a loop, haha. The art is so cute and fun to play.

Art and sound impeccable and the game mechanic is also simple but very enjoyable. I feel the combo slow motion very satisfying and a good way to encourage good performance. If I have to offer some suggestions, I would like a slidable volume control and the player don't need to hold the mouse button to play. It gets a bit uncomfortable when I was 5min into the game.
