The aestethics work well togheter. Music, graphic, gameplay, everything, It feels like a very chill game to relax for a few moments and just "feel the vibe". Overall is a nice experience, it just need some polishment. Keep going on.

Thanks! What would you suggest?

Depends on your goal. For example:

  • High risk high rewards power up - they are either hard to take and you need to make a bold move to catch them or the item have a huge downside and upside (like a powerup that doubles your points but also the speed of the game).
  • Modifiers - same as powerup, but you chose at the begining of your game how to alterate it.
  • Reverse/Static platforms .
  • Every X amount of points the game "biom" changes.
  • Ball change color depending on the platforms move direction.
  • Progression system/End goal - the more you play, the more customization/upgrades you open up.
  • ...

And so on. Chose a direcion for the game and do some reseach for similar games on the market, you will be shocked how much now concepts you will find from that. Good luck.

Thanks again!

This would make a sick mobile game, if you added some more obstacles and maybe some cosmetic upgrades and challenges to complete. It's pretty fun.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I have to commend you on the originality of it. It's deceptively difficult (and unique!) for a one-button arcade game. I enjoyed it, but I will say I was praying for a taller, narrower screen the whole time. Seeing more of the horizontal than the vertical doesn't make sense in a game where you always need to know what's below you.

Thanks for the comment! We'll look into making it taller.

Pretty fun, it works well !
I would have liked for the platforms to always turn the same way when I click. It was really hard to figure out how it would turn. It probably needs something to force you to go fast too since going slowly seems like the best strategy right now, but the least fun !

Great job to you all !

LOL! It actually started out only turning in one direction. We thought that it might be more interesting to have it switch directions.
