I had a pretty good time playing your game. Very nice and clean art, nice controls. Everything is done properly. Great job.

Submitted

Great idea! Really simple but fun! 

I like how you combined time pressure with theme. Art is simple but it's pretty enough and smart way to control scope of the game *clap*

What I would improve is to increase difficult in time, it's pretty hard to survive longer to have some more fun :D

Congratulations on your submission!

Submitted

satisfying little game! reminds me a lot of the flash game Particles, it's a good time killer. nice work!

Submitted

Nice work! The music and sfx were very satisfying. Echoing others, a final time (maybe even leader boards) would have been nice (fullscreen), though I’d recommend counting smallest time scale possible, I’m not sure I ever got past a minute.

Submitted

Great scope for a game jam! It was simple and clear what to do (though maybe not for someone who was color blind.)  Reminded me of some of the combat mini games of undertale. As others said a score at the end would be a nice touch to  see if you are improving.

Simple, yet fun game. The first couple of green balls were easy to collect but it ramped up being hard quite fast. (Or I am a noob which might also be the case)

I think graphics and audio work well together, giving it a good retro vibe.

As others said some sort of highscore, if its timer, green balls collected or anything else might be cool to have some feedback how well you as a player did.

Good job on this and keep it up!

Submitted

Good music and art, it feels very nice, and keeping it this compact makes it a well-formed experience!

Simple but entertaining. I think it has a really nice vibe, and the only things I wished existed would be maybe a timer or something so I know how well I did (unless I did so terribly that I failed a first level). Great work!

Submitted

It feels a bit bare but it actually has a lot of small details if you look closely and I liked that a lot.

Maybe a bit more visual feedback? Like I would love to know what stage of decay I am currently in more clearly. haha

I think this is simple but can grow into a fun mobile game or something. Cool entry!

Submitted

Art is good, controls is simple, but effective. bullet hell, i admire, is hard. I top time is 5-6 seconds. Well done!

Submitted

Super smooth controls makes this a blast to play! I wish it had the amount of food you've collected or a timer or something so I could try for a really high score. Let me get rank 1! :)

Submitted

+1 on the clean art stye color combo is great. I would maybe add a timer so the player can see how long they have lasted but pretty fun.

Submitted

Really clean and nice artstyle!!

Submitted

Nicely done, very clean artstyle :)
