You thought you can keep me from sleeping!! mwahahahahah!!!

But really neat concept. We both made on the topic of catching Zs xD. I think when I’m losing invincibility, instead of losing it instantly, it should be blink a little and then stop, so that the player knows that invincibility is ending. Other than that, it was quite fun catching Zs.

This was a really fun gameplay loop!  I spent quite a bit of time bouncing around and catching Z's (at first I was caught off-guard by how high I could jump, lol!).  One thing I would have liked is some kind of indication (a little flash or sound effect or something) when the invincibility is just about to run out, because I occasionally got hit right after it ran out by taking a risk I might not have taken if I knew it was going to expire.  I also feel like some kind of live score and/or leaderboard would also really add to the addictiveness of that core loop.  But even without that, this is a really solid and fun game.  Great work! :)

It didn’t seem like it at first, but the main mechanic really hooked me. I spent quite a while catching some Z’s. I guess you didn’t have time to add music, but that’s totally fine, the game is still really enjoyable. Good job!

heck of a gameplay loop. Dig the parachute mechanic and very clever game all around. A lot of fun playing. Graphics godd, clean , clear. A little more varied sfx , some more juice maybe but a cool creative game.

I really liked the concept of this entry, it’s actually very linked to the theme. The graphics are good, I like the two colors chosen, the gameplay is fun as well. Only two things I would add, some bg music and some juicy effects to complement the experience. Very solid game, very good job here :)

I like how simple but challenging the gameplay is, the art and menu music are great as well.

Submitted

Lovely game in every aspect, loved the theme implementation, the art, the gameplay, the music!

Very cool game with quite addictive gameplay! The art & sound are a bit "just there" but serve the gameplay very well. I was a bit afraid on launch when i landed on the tuto screen that was a bit intimidating but in the end it was ok.

I really liked the enemies, their design is so cool. I wish they were also different in terms of gameplay, so that you have to use some different strategies to dodge them. And the whole game looks and feels really cool, but somehow lacks the challenging gameplay. Anyways, I had fun playing it, good job!

Amazing lil game you got hre man! Although it would've been nice to be able to catch the Zs without the parachute. But beyond that, EXQUISITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🗣🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥

Submitted

Cute game! I kinda wished you could collect the Zzz's without having to have the parachut out as well but understand that that would make it too easy. Great use of the theme and oof I hope my mental self is better att catching Zzzs than I was here cause I barely got more than 2 hours hahah!

Submitted

That was so fun ! Thank you for making that game. I was smiling so big while playing it. The gameplay you picked was really fun, although i struggled a little bit at first to know how i was supposed to catch the Zs because i read the instructions diagonally (hi yes i have adhd lol).

I wish there was some more music though ! 

Submitted

Really loved the game! Was a nice mix of challenging and simple mechanics.

Submitted

Cute, simple, and well made. Excellent entry for the jam. Very clever way to turn the phrase into a gameplay loop too, I wouldn't have thought of it. Well done!

Submitted

Lovely game! I like it a lot, the art is perfect for the game, the sfx is cute, the music was a bit unnerving for some reason but it ain’t bad. I just love me some simple twist on a classic idea (it’s also what we did so uhh,, matchy matchy!)

what I like about this is the genuine “should I jump to get those Zs and risk being hit or should I just stay put until its gone” type thing

what I dislike is how easy it is to always keep the meter full that it’s always better to just tank the hits and get the zs

it would also GREATLY benefit from a leaderboard. trust me i would have farmed that thing till I got first place lol.

great game!

Submitted

This was quite good! Wished there was background music but it's already good on its own.

Submitted

Loved the gameplay! It was really fun trying to get more Zs.

Submitted

Fun gameplay loop and I love the art style/sound design! Great work :D

Submitted

I love your art style, the enemy sprites are so cute and funky.

Turns out getting 8 hours of sleep is just as hard in a game as in real life. Great entry!
