I got 11699.

I liked that it slowly ramped up. I think the most satisfying moment in your game is when you can line up multiple cubes in a row that match the future color pattern. It would be really cool to be able to lean into that moment. Tweak your cube spawning algorithm to favor dropping cubes in color order and put some reminder or indicator on screen for the rotation and that could make for some super satisfying gameplay.

I understand the want to make shooting a risk/reward mechanic, but taking away player movement feels pretty bad. In the later stages, shooting is still risky even if you could move because you might not want to move or you might be forced to move into an unsafe lane earlier than you thought.

For such a straightforward premise, you have a lot of options here. Well done!

Hey CFHM.

Thanks for playing the game and taking the time to write this long comment. I'm currently working on an update that, among other things, adds "combos" to the game. This means that if you collect a cube and then collect another one before 2 seconds have passed, you will get bonus points and the more you collect, the higher the bonus will be.

Thank you :)

It’s insanely simple and it’s great on that! I’d like some more snappy controls for that arcadey feel. It IS an arcade game after all.

Nice game, I jsut wish the controls were a little bit faster, it gets super hard really quickly. I enjoyed it !

Good little game. The controls felt a bit stiff as my instinct was to hold down the buttons to move, took me a few moments to realise I had to mash the keys to move around quickly. Had a fun moment where I shot a dude down but there were 2 more guys behind him which lost me a good amount of health :P
3246 was my highscore.

I know the controlls are weird but if i made them "normal" you could just dodge the falling guys/cubes way more easily and because the bullet is so small you would when shooting at the parachutes, miss the target all the time. So i had to limit the movement.

But thanks for playing and rating the game!

Pretty fun. My highscore is 5300. I appreciate the slowness because it works with this game but I think if the movement was more fluid it might be more fun. Good job though I can see how it could be addicting for a little while. :)

Thanks for playing the game and for the feedback :)

The waiting after shooting made everything feel clunky. Honestly would be a good rhythm game.

Good game would recommend, i did get addicted and reached 25k on the score haha

Ibrahim OezhanDeveloper3 years ago

How is that even possible. Even I the creator of the game die at arround 6000 xD

CptCrabhandsSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

Quite a nice little game! I got addicted for a while. What i really liked is the fact that color change is NOT random which allows for nice combo pickups!

At first i was planning on doing it random but i had some problems with it so i made it not random.

And thanks for playing and rating :)

Love the simple game, I wish I could move a bit faster though! Great attention to detail making the parachutes see-through when a box is behind them. Maybe you could simplify the text at the beginning, a wall of text is discouraging to many people including myself!

Thanks. I am already working on a update that will fix the stuff you mentioned.
