Unique idea and core mechanics, with a nice amount of multitasking and a cool atmosphere. It's great that you even had time for a tutorial, which I think is not easy in a game jam scope. Well done! :)

Really fun little entry, I liked the aesthetic a lot. The music is doing sooo much heavy lifting haha it sounds great and kinda carries the whole vibe. The mechanic is interesting too, even if it took me a sec to get used to keeping the cursor centered. I think making it infinite and score based could be cool, but thats just personal taste. Very specific look and feel, and I enjoyed it. Great entry. (pls play my game)

Interesting cursor-based mechanic! Out of habit, I kept trying to balance using the keyboard, but this is something new! Good work!

Real cool aesthetic, love how the web page is designed so that you scroll down from the moon and logo, and the background elevates the game visuals. Good audio choices. I feel this would be fun on mobile with trying to keep your finger center on the ninja. I think it would feel more fun if i was first able to learn the timing on jumps/crouches without the rail spinning, and then ramping up the spinning + obstacles for difficulty. It's just real hard to figure out the timing while I also have to do something else, initially. Cool thumbnail as well.

is the moon okay?

Thank you! I really appreciate the detailed response, it helps alot. The difficulty scaling aspect I certainly should have spent more time on tweaking, with a more steady build up. Thanks for playing :D

Firstly, I absolutely love that song and almost used it in my game. Secondly, great idea for the game mechanic even if it ABSOLUTELY is doing a number on my wrist trying to keep the cursor in the circle! I did find it a bit difficult overall, but still a fun challenge. Nice work!

(SMALL BUG: I had a hardlock freeze after my 2nd retry. I was at 17.1% and it shows "YOU LOSE"/ main menu/quit but won't let me do anything. I reloaded and the next 2 times I died it also froze if I tried to choose quit)

Do you WANNA do surveillance?

Thanks so much for playing! About the bug, that's supposed to allow you to quit out of downloaded builds, but just hard freezes on the web build. I'll probably just make it send you back to the main menu on the web build when I get time! Thanks for reporting it though :D
