Fun game with a very impressive art style. The music is also very hazy and fit perfect with gameplay.

This is a nice simple game with a cute art style to match! I like how you used the clock with both the red zone and having to watch out for the hand. It includes various way to match the theme which is cool! Nice work ^^

Developer

Thanks so much for the kind feedback!

Fun game and cool concept, I like the idea of incorporating the clock as part of the actual game. Also a nice fun art style!

Only complaint I have is that the timer bonus can spawn in the red zone and won't respawn like the stars do, which essentially puts you at the mercy of the RNG gods hoping it doesn't spawn there especially in the later game. Perhaps there could be a better way to be able to push back the time that doesn't depend on this random spawning?

I do appreciate that there's some leeway in the edge of the red zone though.

Developer

Thanks for the Feedback. I appreciate it. I already tried to think of ways to make my game depend less on RNG, like moving the timer bonus randomly, but it didn’t really work.

Came back to the game after playing before the game deadline, got 31 points.

Happy to see that the bug got fixed.

The shader for the danger area looks really nice.

Pretty simple and fun!  The sound the character makes when it walks really sold me.  I was hoping for a jump button to jump over that line though.  Nicely done!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for the kind words. I didn’t thought about adding a jump button jet. The sound when the character walks was just the sound of tapping on a book.

Fun little game! You can cheese it by going into red area and never getting out
