Considering how fast it was made I think the mechanic worked well and you did a really nice job on the game!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Very fun little game! I like the concept of the watermelon getting smaller the more you get hit to help you out!

Nice game! Kinda annoying that I have to reload the page in order to try again, but overall, the game is fun. The music is really good, and the game runs really well. I can see myself getting addicted 😄.

Developer(+1)

Haha thanks! I had no time to make a ingame reload because of an exam.

Yeahh I passed 100 seconds! Nice job for being done in two days :)

Developer

Wow, congrats on getting more than 100! 💯

Eventually made it to over 80 seconds! Very addictive trying to improve on my score.

The bowling balls blended into the background a bit when overlapping with the darker columns, but other than that it was all good.

Developer

Yeah I should have made the background a bit different but thanks for playing!

It is very addictive, music and sounds are great. It is so hard. I played for a lot of tries and my highest score was 63 seconds. Anyways great work on such a nice submission. It was hard but 'fun' !!!

Developer

Nice! Thank you so much!

96 secondsss yes!!! It was fun! I liked that every hit made you smaller so you can survive more the less health u have. My only issues were that the colliders sometimes felt weird, and some objects fell down way too fast. I loved the music and art as well! 

Ohh and is that a PinoPrime reference?

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Yeah some objects may fall way too fast because I made it that they get faster the longer you live. And the collission has to do with the rotating of the image. Great Job on getting 96 seconds!

Hah! I was able to survive about 60 seconds on my best run, curse you tiny knives and tiny bowling balls! And big bowling balls too. One time I just had a curtain of TNT fall on me lol Great job for a 2 day game! The music and art really add a lot of character, I loved it!

Fun mini game, good job!

Great job on the game! Shrinking then player when they get hit was a pretty cool idea, and made the game a lot of fun.

The first pygame entry I've come across. Well done getting this done in just two days, especially when you have created the assets yourself

Developer

Thanks! It was fun to make the game.  (:

Super addictive and fun game! Very much appreciated the humour and consistent pixel art too! :)

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you liked the pixel art because I made it (;

Submitted(+1)

Darn it, so close!


I like that getting damaged decreases your size such that while you become one step closer to death, it's also easier to avoid the falling obstacles. I also appreciate that the background looks good and helps to split the game into 'lanes' so you have a clearer picture of where you are in relation to the things you need to avoid.

Some of the projectiles felt too fast to avoid, but I know at least part of that was me being terrible. :D

A great job for such a short time frame!

Developer(+1)

NICE! The objects fall faster the longer you are alive. I made this to make the game get progressively harder. Thanks for playing.
