The idea is simple but very effective! I liked the music and colourful style.

I would be glad if you tried and rated my game too!

Nice game! Like the music and graphics. I only completed the easy difficulty but it was fun (But why is there no win screen?). I would say one of the best games in the jam.

Loved it and would like to come back for more. The simplisity of the presentation is actually a strength. The way it ramps up is really well handled and the choice of music was great. I was ready for it to be lame and it was anything but! Good work

What I liked :

Simple concept
Readability
The lazer that force you to move

What could be improved:

Without tutorial, I didn't know if I was suppose to move, what was the goal.
Add some SFX
Fancier graphics
Add some explanation to the 2 UI bars at the bottom.(health and phase progression)
Add a period of rest between two phases, otherwise it can quickly become overwhelming.
Add some reward at the end of a phase (at least visually), or as an upgrade, etc...

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely should have added some sort of tutorial into the game so it would avoid all the confusion. Yeah I should have added sound effects into the game as an indicator when losing health or blocking. I intended there to be rest spots, but I didn't balance the level properly so the rest spots became too difficult. Adding reward will defintely help make the game feel more fufilling, and a victory screen would also be good.

great game, the music was the highlight of it all. but I think there should be a way to choose an easier mode without having to exit the game entirely. maybe there was a button for that but I couldn't find it.overall it was a challenging game that at no point left me bored
