Woah. Great and unique use of the theme. I just wished I understood the countdown decreased more with each message check, but that's not a demerit to this game, that's me.
Fun time! I didn't quite get to the end, ran out of time as I reached the sun, but it was cool! I liked it! Used the countdown for a more narrative approach, nice! (Also yeah like another comment, the music is nice, fits the vibe of the game)
Immediately new it was peak when I saw it was PICO-8, anyway, loved it! Wish the countdown was an issue in the earlier waves, but oh boy did the difficulty crank up! I like the use of the theme as others have mentioned lol, it was fun, engaging and just plain enjoyable!
Overall great game, perhaps my favourite out of the ones I've rated, simply due to the clever use of the theme! Got a bit dazed by level 10, but other than that, its nice, intuitive, audios great, polish is fantastic, love it!!
Thank you very much for the constructive criticism 🙂↕️, this jam has shown me in particular how vital a good set of controls and player movement can be to a good game, which is something ill take into account in the future!
Art is great, love the silly vibes and the idea is cool! (I did not know there was a manual for components, that would've been handy to find out while I was playing XD)
The concept is really cool! And I can imagine this being a really fun platformer/puzzle style game, just found the physics to be a bit too tricky to manipulate at times....
Okay good to note, with control responsiveness, any controls specifically? like moving, jumping item pickups etc? Sorry, just so I can nail the problem down!
