I found the idea interesting, and it played well. A little more depth to spice up the gameplay would be nice. I did like the gravity reversal mechanic though!

Developer

Thank you! And yeah it is pretty simple. Thanks for playing!

This reminds me of the Stardew Valley fishing minigame.  So this was no sweat for me... Cool game though, and the music is fitting for a competition warm up!!

Streamed live today!!

Developer

Fun simple concept and trickier than it looks.

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

Nice take! tad too simple.

Could benefit from sfx or an visual indicating you are in the right/wrong range could benefit from more content.

Considering the best thing about this is the idea, having the idea vague at the start is not the bestest of ideas.

Overall, solid entry!

Developer

Thank you! And yeah those are good suggestions!

Really nice take on the theme (Actually had a similiar idea in the beginning). It's a really simple game and gets a bit boring after some time, but overall, really cool game :) Also, like others pointed out, hard to understand in the beginning.

Thank you! And yeah it is a very simple game, worked on polish the most.

I am sorry, am I pulling belts from trousers in this game? If so this theme is hilarious. 

Developer(+1)

Haha yep! Glad you thought so!

Submitted(+1)

This is a really charming game, and great execution of the concept :) I was totally caught off guard with the gravity reversal!

Developer

That means a lot! And I’m glad it came off the way I was hoping haha

Cool interpretation!

Simple but fun little game. Funny, and an interesting take on the theme :3 Well done!

Developer

Thank you!

Funny and clever interpretation of the jam's theme! Nice mix up in the last level. 

Overall a very solid entry. My only complaint mirrors a few other commentors in that it's a little difficult to understand what you have to do at first and the description doesn't do you any favours. Perhaps a tutorial level, or a better description (the goal is essentially to keep the white line within the green line using the space bar) would have helped.

Developer

Yeah I ran out of time for a full tutorial. Will probably add one if we update the game. And thanks for playing and leaving feedback!

reminds me of the stardew valley fishing minigame, and the reverse gravity is a great idea that keeps it challenging. good job!

Developer

Thank you! That was a big inspiration.
