How long was your dev time?
2 hours and 45 minutes of active development, I focused heavily on game feel ('juice') rather than an endless loop. I made sure every click feels responsive, added smooth visual feedback like the fading '-1 lives' text effect, and ensured the win condition at a score of 30 feels achievable yet challenging.

Very simple game, but it’s fun and well paced. The death screen doesn’t seem to work for me, I was stuck on “-1 Life”. The game juice is really good, but you could make it a little bit better by signaling when you lose a life by making the jar move, or do something. The sound effects were very good, and I liked the background music. The hurtboxes for the hands could be a little bit more lenient, for example, clicking in between the fingers should make the hand disappear in my opinion. Getting to a score of 30 was too hard for me unfortunately.
Very cool game! :) The visuals and sounds are very polished and the intro is very cute!! I could not finish the game on a trackpad unfortunately ahah
The game is really good. It’s a bit repetitive, though, so I’d add powers and make the hands move a little faster as you keep playing—or have the speed increase gradually as you go. It’s good, though.
loved the dog noise when you click the hands, I didn't get to the win condition, it felt at times like the cooldown between clicks I could make was too short, especially between losing a life and then a hand appearing, I kept losing specifically between losing my second life and then a hand appearing instantly and then I lost my third life. I loved the intro too!
I also recorded my gameplay, your game is shown from 22:51 - 24:18 :)
Got it! Thanks!!!! Also fire video I also appreciate it :DDD
Nice simple concept and love that you even got a bit of story in it! It got way too hard near the end like I was never able to click them in time. I think the audio was a bit off as well like are you a dog biting the hands because you are barking? And the music was very chill for how stressed I was trying to click the hands in time lol
Good game, great idea. I think a tiny bit of screen shake would've added a bit more juice to the clicks. I like the -1 lives text effect you did also. Overall it was fun!!
Thanks for the feedback!!! :D
Now that I think about it, screen shake is an awesome thing to utilize. Glad you enjoyed it!!!
