Loved the game. There are only a few things missing to perfection:
Maybe make maze walls handrawn
Sometimes clock spawns between 4 walls and I can't pick it up(it breakes my hearth)

Thanks for playing!
I agree, hand drawn walls would definitely improve the whole look. And yeah, the clocks spawning between 4 walls is so annoying. I wasn't savvy enough with my C# to prevent that from happening in my code so I made the walls breakable as a temporary solution. But I made the walls take 4 hits to destroy, which almost always takes too long to do because of how fast the camera scrolls lol. Back to the drawing board. I really appreciate the feedback!
What a cute game , Love the art style and voice and simple but fun game mechanise. Curious what was you inspiration do you have a turtle called Rosie :-)

Timey WimeyThanks for playing! I wish I had a turtle called Rosie lol. I was rushing to finish the game by the deadline, I did not manage my time well last month haha. I was intending to have some kind of boss battle but in the end I needed to simplify the game so that you basically trigger a win condition after surviving long enough. So I was thinking, it's 2020, nobody needs another princess rescue story so let's make it a turtle. My girlfriend (who did the voices) came up with the name Rosie :-)
Looking forward to checking out your submission later today!
Nice game! Loved the artwork and the sounds!! Enjoyed playing it too, but i do agree that fullscreen mode would make the experience more enjoyable. I read you had some trouble with it in Unity, this might help: Change UI resolution.
Also, i don't know if this was by design, the fact that the camera scrolls upwards at a constant speed (as opposed to keeping the player always in view) is a problem because you basically can't go backwards, to pick up a clock for example. But all in all, lots of fun!!

Time Drives ByThank you so much for the link! That was really helpful in terms of my UI. Now I just have to figure out why my code that rotates the player to face the mouse isn't working in fullscreen lol.
The upwards scrolling was a design choice to keep the pressure on but I agree it's very frustrating most of the time haha. I was thinking of increasing the player speed when they're moving downwards to help with that. But I like the idea you bring up of having a cam that tracks the player! There'd be an incentive to keep moving because of the timer but you could also go back to get clocks. Thanks for playing, I really appreciate the feedback!
Nice game with cute handcrafted art style. Wish it had fullscreen mode because i constantly kept misclicking the window and closing it :)

Last Train HomeThanks! Yeah, I really need to figure out resolution and scaling in Unity. When I tried to build it fullscreen, things got weird. Like my menu buttons would only register a click if you clicked an inch to the right of it. Also, my mouse aiming code totally broke in fullscreen mode. If you know of any learning resources for resolution related stuff that you'd recommend, I'd love to check them out! Thanks so much for playing.
I really like the visuals, very cute artstyle. The audio and overall mood is great. I saw slimes sometimes got blocked by obstacles but after some time they went back to chase you, which was scary XD

MagickaFlowerThis is a very cute game. I music compliments the art style and vice versa. I did find a bug where if you constantly collide to the right side of the game boundary, then you won't be able to shoot, the bullet just breaks. The SFX were so cute that it felt like PETA was about to knock down my doors for killing the slime.

Bob's Bizzare AdventureI like the twist on the scrolling shooter, and the art style and audio is quite unique. Could use more responsive controls as going backward is a slight issue so grabbing extra time out of the nooks is inadvisable. Also would be good if the enemies could disappear once they're out the bottom of the screen, as you can't see them coming for you out of the bottom of the screen. it's fun game regardless.

TimeWiseHey! I just tried Rescue Rosie. I love that you put hand-drawn elements in the game. It immediately caught my attention among the other previews. Good job!
