Amazing art style, you should add some scary sounds when the hands leap out to build on the cool atmosphere.

The art is beautiful. I also like the balance of the game considering the hands aren't unfairly unavoidable, but not repetitive and boring either.

Great job :)

Visuals and the style are top-notch, I love em'. Gameplay is a bit slow and boring but since it runs smoothly, it's allright. Wish there was some old school 8-bit music as BGM and some sound effects too. Kinda creepy and quirky piece, but that's how I like 'em. Reminds me a bit of the Addams Family back in the day. Great job!

I thought it was cool. Slow but cool. Art is 5/5! I wish there was just a bit more happening and less downtime. I was waiting for the hands to drop down from the top and get me.

If you have a moment I'd appreciate it if you'd also check out my team's game!

Like everyone else has been saying, The art style is really cool. The animation of the cubes in the back looks sick! I wish there was more gameplay, or a variety of attacks, but I understand that it's a lot to ask of in 48 hours. But, still, nicely done!

As a fan of 'weird' and 'artsy' stuff, I really enjoyed this game. This game has probably the most unique artstyle I've seen in this jam. Even though there isn't that much to do and reloading the page constantly felt annoying, I really liked this experience.

I had fun until I realized that all I had to do was stay in the middle and I wouldn't get pinched. Fun art style though

Interesting retro atmosphere, nice job!

Despite its simplistic gameplay and lack of audio, its visual presentation is really top-notch. Even the abrupt 'END' seemed very... artistic, in a sense, and very much in line with the game's overall tone. Interesting entry.

I really love the dot matrix shader, really gives it a retro 90s feel. I felt the blooming cubes behind the coin were a little distracting and sometimes you lose track of the coin's position within the effect. Overall a cool concept and a great presentation!

Really nice graphics, definitely an interesting idea, not sure how strong it fits the theme but still, cool concept, wish there was a bit more to it :) great job!

i was mostly trying to reverse the concept of chasing an unobtainable thing, though it didn't turn out exactly what i imagined.
