The hand-drawn sprites are a welcome sight, and the music matches the aesthetic well. The gameplay could be more exciting, though. Maybe the gamma ray could shoot from a random height rather than just the top. The clouds also don't seem to do anything; if they made the player move slower, then they could become a pretty interesting obstacle. Another thing that could fix up the gameplay is some sounds. It might sound ridiculous, but audio can make even a simple game feel good to play.
This game certainly fits its title. I enjoyed its simple, yet fun gameplay. The ideas for obstacles are very creative as well!
I noticed a few places to improve in, though. You could make the player and obstacles sprites more clear by increasing their size and resolution. Also, I think that adding a visual effect when something hits you, (like the player character flashing red), would make it significantly better. Nonetheless, I liked it. Good job!
This is a great game about falling, for sure. I felt super creeped out by the music, so i can appreciate the "falling into madness" idea! the Gamma ray straight up obliterated me. I loved how there was a telegraph for it.
My only feedback is that you could use more audio cues, and perhaps some variation on the backdrop so we know that we're still falling. Best score i got was like 260. Great job with all the custom artwork!
Excellent submission, Congratulations!
