This is a neat little game. Reminds me of the dinosaur game. The hand slowly getting closer is a nice detail. I did end up winning and then the hand caught up to me on the win screen. This is good for your first game jam game, keep it up!

Submitted

Developer

pretty funny you can win even after you lose ha ha. Better visuals and audio can go along way!

Fair point. At the time I was in the middle of a time crunch, so I was prioritizing a finished result at the time. Good feedback, I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

This game is not for me. In my opinion, this game does not fit the theme really well.

Submitted

I love this game

Developer

I’m glad you do. It definitely needs improvement but I think it has potential.

Submitted

The game is fine for the theme, There's also a bug whereby it still plays even then the player is dead

Developer

Yeah that’s understandable. I didn’t have time to make a pause function at the time. This was my first FINISHED game.

Submitted

pretty good! just a side note, I think you should freeze the game when the player dies

Developer(+1)

You definitely right. I was in a time crunch at the time lol.

Submitted

I still enjoyed it anyways so good job!
