Neat game! I like how there are different minigames for different stages of life. However, I think the player needs to move a bit faster in the one where you collect falling pizzas, because I feel like it’s not possible to collect the ones that spawn on the edge of the screen.
Good thing you pointed that out, initially, the player movement speed was even lower than it is currently now, I wanted to make the minigame a bit hard, but I thought it made it impossible, so I increased the movement speed a bit. Thanks for playing the game! Appreciate it!
I couldn't get past the first mini game on the web version, so I can only comment up to that point, but it is a very colorful and fun looking game, and the sound design and SFX are really nice. I can see you made all the art yourself and it looks great!
Thank you for your review, I appreciate it. Unfortunately, the web version is a bit harder than the windows version. So I understand.
i loved the minigames and i also think the topic fits really well for this game jam
Thank you for your review! Appreciate it!
It's impressive you managed to finish so many minigames and animations in such a short game jam! But it's unfortunately a bit offputting that the hardest one is the first one. Sometimes it was literally unbeatable- the bar would generate too far away for the cursor to ever get to it before the ghosts reached you.
Was also rather disheartening that after grinding all these minigames the ending is a massive downer where nothing you did mattered. The sprites are also very inconsistant in pixel size and it made it hard to judge the hitbox for jumping over the cars.
Nonetheless, you deserve to feel proud for finishing a larger game than most people here! And I hope you had fun making it cos I had fun playing. - Bonnford
Hi, thanks for your comment and appreciate your review! Thanks for enjoying my game! If you played the web version, the first minigame is harder than the windows version for some reason, I didnt have time to fix that, the web version was not that optimized but i get what you are trying to say, yes the car was a bit off. I planned to make a bit different ending where what you did mattered and also a boss fight, but didnt have time. I planned to have the alien as a boss fight. But I still made it finishable. thanks for your review.
