For how simplistic this game is, it's very fun and hectic. Absolutely rock solid arcade gameplay, but I do wish there were more powerups and that they appeared a bit more often.

Graphics are also really nice! I love all the little attentions to detail like how the smiley face has animations for losing some goofuses to the Vortex and gaining health, or that the vortex changes color when it absorbs some dudes. The music appears to be bugged for me, but I didn't really mind.

Overall a fantastic game!

Nice game.  I really want to try a version of this game with an analog game controller because it feels like it could benefit from being able to move in more than 8 directions.  I had fun playing  this one.

Nice game ! The sound effects are really good. You could slow down the character a little bit as it makes it hard to hit the little dudes. 

My game is also like yours but a little different .

Nice game with interesting gameplay, and good choice of colours too. However, movement could be a little slower so that you are less likely from missing at the little goofballs (unless that was intentional lol), but good game overall :)

Developer

Thanks! It takes accuracy to hit them at this speed for sure :)

I like this, it gives you a hard choice whether to stop the guys from getting to the light or grab a heart, Great job 👍

I really loved the gameplay and how nice it felt to hit the little dudes away from the light. Sound effects fit the game perfectly, and felt genuinely nice to keep the dudes away from the light.

Developer

Thank you! It took some time to make hitting the little dudes work. In the beginning you would have to hit them from the right angle otherwise you would actually push them into the light.

Sound effects are really nice and satisfying, the Art style is also simple but very pleasing, good job!

Developer

Thanks! Making the games mechanics so simple left me enough time to focus on a sound etc. :)
