Ranked from 5 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The amount of bugs (enemies that when you walk on them slow you down) increase over time and you have ten minutes to finish the game.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
We did almost everything ourselves except we used some Apple Live Loops (samples) in our music.

I like how you make tutorial and some random stuff like Wheatley! It was funny :)

I had a hard time with navigation though, the sound is funny too but too sharp for me.

Hi! Thanks for playing our game! Towards the end of the game jam we haven't play tested it yet so when I played it, I realised it was really hard to find crystals. I implemented a thing where the crystals emitted a light every 10 seconds. After I did that though, I couldn't think of another idea to make it easier to find crystals but not too easy, so we just submitted it. I was also going to add a feature that allows you to mute the sounds or music or both, but I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I scrapped it.

pretty cool idea and execution, the hitboxes on the bugs felt quite unforgiving, but overall really well done

Developer

That was fun. I had no idea what I was doing at first though because, as most of us, I can't read, so I didn't see there was a [Tutorial] button. I liked the sound effects and music (except the tutorial music, that was a bit repetitive haha) and the graphics were very simple but understandable. my favorite part was finding random things around like a giant crystal saying "I'm cool" hahaha

Thanks! I’m glad you found it fun! The tutorial music is probably not that good because it was the last day when I made it. When I was working on the map, I realised that it was a bit boring, so I added some easter eggs like the giant crystal, a statue of the player etc. Thanks for taking time out of your day to play my game!
