"Okay, so moving the mouse moves the player.
Oh, here comes a - SMACK!
Hmm, I should avoid those.
This time, I'll move away - SMACK!
Okay, THIS time I'll move faster - SMACK!
OK, this time I'll move like a crazy man in a circle!
Ha ha! Success! I got away from you and your - SMACK!"

I feel like this game taught me how to play really quickly, and cheekily, by repeatedly smacking me in the face (in a good way?).
It was brutal, but also pretty funny; and the quick replay makes it feel fair.

Developer

Thank you, this is my favourite description of my game I've read yet, hope you had fun!

Submitted

Great little game! Super hard lmao

Developer

Thanks, it was supposed to be difficult seeing it's genre, hopefully it was manageable though!

Submitted

I somehow managed to get 14, anything past that and I became incredibly awful. However, I liked it, was quite interesting.

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!!!

Submitted

I managed to get 24! Very fun to play. It gets intense when they start coming in fast at you.

Developer

Yeah, glad you had fun!

Submitted

i feel like this is good aim training in a weird way. also i don't know how that other commenter got 22 as after 8 i start to feel the carpal tunnel but im gonna keep on trying to beat him

Developer

Lol, someone has gotten as high as 50, which is ridiculous, it's just keep trying till they absolutely can't anymore to get such good scores

Submitted

Fun and addicting! I only managed to get 6 points lol. The player being the mouse reminded me of a Neopets mini game I loved as a kid called 'Ice Cream Machine',  though this one’s definitely more intense

Developer

Lol, glad you had fun, and you can always keep trying to get a higher score ;)

Submitted

Creativity: Despite it being simple, I didn't expect the optimal way to play is literally going in loops. Solid idea
Enjoyment: Although it's fun in a couple rounds, it's repetitve and gets boring really fast
Narrative: I literally forgot what to say here
Artwork: A simple pallette used effectively
Audio: Energetic and fits the game well

Developer

Sorry to hear that it gets repetitive shortly, that's I guess a big issue with making an arcade style game lol. There is no narrative though lol

Submitted

Good game! The art has a charm to it!

Developer

Thanks! The art was very rushed honestly!

Submitted

Dude I love the idea of having to make enemies collide with one another to kill them. Well done!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you liked the mechanic!

Submitted

Ahaha nice pretty challenging, music is total bangs too.

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Very addictive yet simple game. Seems easy to pick up and play a few rounds. The dodge button just being the pause is more useful than expected and got me out of many bad situations, but also functioned as a pause menu, simplifying the controls. Great game.

Developer

Thanks, it was never supposed to be a "dodge" button, it got mislabeled, but I think that it is pretty interesting what people have been doing with it!

Submitted

On point little game, simple artstyle but solid , but also maybe too simple

Developer

I tried to keep it as simple as possible to make it more focused on gameplay 

Submitted

Very fun little game! The art design is super cute and love the music and sfx too. I'm not very good at dodging, kept getting very low scores, but I could absolutely see myself playing this again and again. Very addicting, great job!

Developer

Lol, practice always helps, glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Very cool game and very interesting concept! Love the styling of the art you went with and how smooth everything was.

Developer

Thanks! I hope you scored well in it!

Submitted

Such a cool idea to use the pause as the dodge hahahah I was having so much fun with it! I love the fast pace of the game but one suggestion is I wish theres a visual feedback when I die because sometimes I dont realize it until its too late. Love the color palette as well!

Developer

Oh thank you! The pause being dodge was just something I thought would be decently nice if you know how to correctly use it. Though the visual feedback is just going straight to the game over screen lol

Submitted (1 edit)

The art design was amazing. I also really liked the gameplay and they sound effects I could of played for hours if I was not busy. I also really like the challenge to the game I fell like you did a good job there too! Keep up the amazing work!

Developer

Thank you so much! You can always replay the game to try and score higher whenever seeing how quick it is to boot up and play! I tried my hardest to make the simple gameplay as fun, and enjoyable as possible!

Submitted

I like the minimalistic art design! Also, this is probably the first time I've played a game where my player IS the cursor. It kind of reminds me of OSU (kind of), so this is definitely a very unique idea. I think it could be even better if there was more variety to the gameplay aside from just dodging one type of square. Overall, I like the retro vibes of this game very much :)

Developer

Thank you, I was planning on adding more types, but ran out of tim. I'm glad you enjoyed it though!

Submitted

Very fun! I only got a high score of 3 it was hard. My only suggestion would be adding difficulty or speed levels for the uncoordinated such as myself. Loved the music too

Developer(+1)

I actually was going to add a difficulty meter, but ran out of time with having to redo so much artwork, glad you enjoyed the music!

Submitted

Really addictive, simple and fun! Clean aesthetics too. My only note is that the theme is very loosely followed and could have been incorporated better.

Developer

Yeah lol, that was actually my biggest issue when making the game was just how little I followed the theme, I honestly didn't have many ideas for it that wouldn't have already been done
