The concept is funny and there is a box with a mustache, which is the pinacle of humor. But yeah my reflexes are TOO WEAK for this masterpiece. (And the background flickers sometimes as other people mentionned). The graphics are very nice and the game has a nice feeling to it. Good game in just two days with a team of one!

its nice game

The game looks very nice, however when falling there were some kind of flickering/teleporting issues with the background, making it a pretty disorienting/confusing experience. It seems like it would be fun with some more polish, though :)

The concept is really fun, and the graphics are very nice, but there is a bit of polish lacking. It wasn't that obvious what I was to do in the beginning, and the game is too fast to be able to react to everything.

If you were to continue this project after the game jam and add a bit more polish in areas where it's needed, I think this could become a really fun arcade style experience. Having to keep the meter up whilst falling is just a fun idea.

I really like the graphics! Good work.

I like the concept and the visuals!

However, as others mentioned, I think it's a bit too fast, I had trouble controlling the box with everything going past so fast. Had some fun nonetheless haha.

Good game! took me a little while to understand the controls but afterall really good art style

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed this especially the art.

Tho the speed that you fall combined with some visual issues with the background made it a little bit disorientating.

Developer

Thanks! :D

The graphics are nice. I didn't really know what to do though :D

the visuals of the game were really nice, and I love the box dialogue when you first start the game.

however, the game concept could be fun, but in practice, the box will fall down so catastrophically fast that it's impossible to control.

 
I don't think that's a bad thing though, it's really funny to watch. 

Developer

Thank you so much! Unfortunately i really ran out of time to make the falling mechanic better and really enjoyable to play but im glad you still liked to watch it :D

Having to charge for so long in the tube broke the flow of the game and slowed things down. Dying felt random until I found the number at the bottom of the screen, maybe the box’s health could be made more obvious? Money didn’t seem to have a use so I didn’t have an incentive to get more of it. I wasn’t really sure what I was collecting because the player was moving too fast to differentiate the small sprites.

Developer

For sure, i wanted to make the falling down more obvious but i ended up without time to really polish it, my plan wasnt even to use the numbers (i call it the booster amount) so it was really the last minute plan to use it D:

Hi! Nice game. The aesthetics and animations are very cute. Initially I did not know that I had to press E to launch myself. The items also pass a little too fast to have a sense of control. 


Developer

Hey! Thank you so much :D im sorry for the fast issue, its something i couldnt really figure out how to make better till the end of the jam

It's too fast!!!

Submitted(+1)

I apologize... but the game feels kinda unpolished and buggy, i really want to like this game, but the lack of polish just holds it back.

Developer

No need to apologize, it indeed lacks from polishes on the game-mechanic side, i used this jam more to help me understand some concepts and to practice my pixel art.

this game was rather confusing. everything is too small and fast to tell what it is, if anything is good to touch, or what you want to do. my high score was 5028 by simply firing at around the maximum possible power and literally just not touching the keyboard at all

the background doesn’t seem to scroll smoothly, and eventually opens out into an empty blue area. i’ll consider that a win despite the card saying “F-” lol

Developer(+1)

Hey, yeah it ended up being a bit confusing for sure, sorry for that. But yeah from my tests seemed a bit "hard" to reach more than 2k+ score without touching the keyboard so count it as a win  lol

Submitted(+2)

I have reached the void with a score of 4329. Very nice game!

Developer

Thank you so much! :D
