I like this charming little game. Baggie herself is cute and the gameplay, while simple, still has the potential to be replayable. Though I could tell it has some issues that could have been fixed if given more time, like the lack of an intended points system, no sound, and the timer not resetting on starting a new game.
Also I think the tension reduces greatly when you realise you can just wait in the corner until its cannonball shoots at you and you could just move out the way. I think this issue could be avoided if all lines had cannons on each side while still only four of them shoot.

Other than that, keep up the good work! Hope you add intended features in future.

It's a great idea ! What you managed to make works really well, especially if you have no experience it's very promising, I hope you liked it and want to continue.

For information, you can bind controls to physical keys so that WASD becomes ZQSD in AZERTY keyboards (it's ok here because arrows work)

I think you coult try to make the cannons appear a second before they shoot, this way you have ample time to dodge you just have to move quickly to a safe spot (even if it means adding more cannons for difficulty). Because right now I'd say the best strategy is to stay at the end of a line and hope a cannon doesn't shoot when you go for a coin.

But still the speeds are well balanced and I grinded quite a bit to try to get a score I'm happy with (120 seconds ~20-30 coins?)

A charming little game, I genuinely cried out when I saw the lil guy dead on the floor. Only real gripe I had whilst playing was the lack of sound effects which is entirely understandable for the length of time you had. Keep it up!

Congrats on the game! Would like to see the points system but I totally understand being new to a tool and not being able to implement everything you thought was in scope in the time limit. I did notice that your sometimes able to move after losing your last life.
