Great game for a first try! Like the music (rock fan too) and the graphics are rad! Nice animations! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations to your first game! It is fun to play! I really liked the simplistic graphics. I am not so sure about the music :). In general I like it, but it is maybe a bit too noisy for this game. The random placement of the hearts could be also improved, so that they are not spawned so close to a tentacle that you cannot reach it, otherwise it is less skill based and more random to reach a high score.
Hope you had fun creating your first game and we hopefully see you again next year!
Congrats on the first game too.
I like the title screen like.
Music is a bit heavy for me.
The player is so floaty and I cannot control where it would land.
The designs are cool and organic as well.
I really like the art and the music. The simple gamplay is also cool, but I had problem getting to the third heart :( I avoided all the tentacles and collected hearts, but still the time has always ended before the third heart :(
Nice first game, congratulations! Jump timings are quite difficult to handle, which makes the game simple but not so easy to play, a good balance :-)
First games are always memorable, cherish them <3
Nice start indeed, a bit more tweaking as it feels a bit too slow paced at the moment.
Otherwise a very good for a first game.
Congrats on making your first game!! Loved the graphics and sound: everything felt very punk rock haha! I couldn’t make it any farther than about 70 points, but it’s definitely a blast. The music cut out at some point, so I’m guessing it’s not on a loop… just made it feel kinda awkward since it got so quiet haha. Well done!
Hey congrats on your first game :)
I somehow couldnt get to the third heart even without hitting the tentacles. am i doing something wrong?
Nice art style and animation. For me, the music and sound effects were extremely loud though. And as somebody else pointed out - the distance between tentacles makes it so that once you hit one, you will definitely hit another one and lose., Congrats on your first game!
Great Job! I really like the art, it felt like playing through one of those old-school pen and ink zine comics
I got the secret message on the High Score menù…thank you for the compliment :3
Well, I kinda learned the patterns and got lucky. The game is good for being your first, so congratulations! I would like more balancement on the time system though, because now you are more dependent on getting hearts and you can accidentally get hit from the tentacles.
Wow that was really a super hard game! I only managed to reach a high score of 50 haha. How long time did it take you to reach a score of 100 when you play tested? :D
Well done as a first game, I have no experience using Phaser, but it seems like a good tool for making web games.
Now, I would like to challenge you to see if you can reach day 10 in Potion Panic, which is the game we have submitted. If you have time to leave a comment as well, we would also love to hear some feedback.
Happy jamming and well done! :-)
