reminded me of fruit ninja. seems simple but it gets pretty intense when there's a lot of orbs on your screen. Good work! :)

the game is nice and enjoyable i really loved the slice trail and the exploding of the gems great job!

Very simple yet addicting game! Retried multiple rounds.  Reminds me so much of fruit Ninja but a bit more challenging gotta say!I guess the simplicity of only needing to move the cursor makes it harder. The concept and the theme matches very well! Great work and finish level!

Nice, clean experience! Here's a playtest @02:43:38

Very fun game! i liked having bigger numbers by risking the clocks getting exploded.

Got to 99,300 :)

Great game, can definitely see myself getting addicted to it!

I quite enjoyed the mechanic of getting more points if you cut an object/timer as late as possible. This works pretty well as an arcade style game. Nice job!

That game is so fluent, challenging and perfectly suited to the event's theme. I hope you create even much, much more advanced level games :)

Really fun! Had a great time, even on trackpad. I really like trying to line up combos and nail the bonuses. Really well done, very polished! Only complaint is that the explosions were a little loud, but I could live with it :)

Developer

I completely agree about the explosions. I ran out of time to properly balance the sound effects, but I’m glad you still enjoyed the game. Thanks a lot for playing!

This is honestly such a cool game! Replayed it like 4 times. Really good job

Developer

That’s really nice to hear, thank you!

I like the concept and its really hard to focus at everything but i would add some indicator to the ones that are going to explode and also to the mouse.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Those are really good suggestions.

This is a very good and polished game! Slicing is very satisfying and I think screen shake, more particles and maybe some camera sway might make it even better!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I agree, more impact effects could make it even better.

It has that nice fruit ninja game juice. Original idea and satisfying gameplay !

Thank you so much for the kind comment!

Highly polished and jazzy experience! I sometimes didnt notice the bombs show up but could get most others

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed the game.

Great Fruit Ninja-like! The only feedback I have is to level out some of the audio. Some of the clips can be a little jarring. But great expansion on the slice falling objects mechanics! Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I agree about the audio, some sounds ended up harsher than I intended. I’m glad the slicing mechanic still felt satisfying!

Fruit Ninja but Countdown-inspired. I've been really trying to time the clocks so that I could get max time out of them :D
