Just wanna say that this work is totally epic for a solo developed game. Also, the fact that this was created by a high schooler makes it really really tempting!! Can't wait to see your game dev skills growing up like a beast! Keep on going!

Thank you for your feedback! Your game is also amazing, it feels very professional for a 5 member team!

A very solid game indeed but there is still room for improvements for example the gameplay is already very good love the ideas of  the game but adding something like an obstacle special packet or even a power up that still related to the theme of the game would be awesome in my opinion because it will eliminate the repetition of the game the BGM is very good but i realized it loops at some point wjile playing the game so adding a second mix into it would be awesome and i found out the effect and sound when red packet hitting the top is too distracting especially during the panic moment when the red packet keep spawning so probably tone the sound effect down maybe ? so its not gonna be too distracting but don't make it too dull too i think that is all from me other than that is already awesome

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!
I never thought about adding a second mix (or layers) for the music because of how simple it is, but it might work, I will try that sometime.

I agree with you about the sound effects being a bit loud, don't worry it's already fixed and I'm planning to release it as a post jam update.

Once again, thank you for the feedback!

dibikin sendirian beserta htmlnya , wow underrated sekali, mekanis gamenya simple tapi seru pas dimainin lama kelamaan, aku suka pixel art dan effectnya, well polished my friend

Developer

Thank you! Di gameplaynya, semakin lama mainnya semakin cepet alurnya dan semakin tinggi packet merah nya ngespawn. Simple but efficient in my opinion!

It's funnn lol. I like in the opening how the text kinda got swirled and dissapear. The music is also good, the colors are exciting, the concept is good too. It seems so easy at first but after a while as it gets faster, it becomes more intense. Twas a good experience :D

Thank you for the feedback! That's a simple mechanic I used to make these games more engaging, by gradually speeding up the game. Of course there's a limit though, and the game becomes "survive as long as possible with the hardest difficulty"
