How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
It includes a bean. It's falling.
That's it.

Impressed with how robust the skill tree is for such a small game! Really enjoyed the "digital dashboard" kind of aesthetic as well. A shame there wasn't any music or anything to add to the experience, though!
Naturally, it's only a starting point, but I would say that it feels kind of tough to get started enough to earn the fall power necessary to buy skills that'll prolong your playtime. Could just be I was unlucky, but maybe as a tutorial stage / beginner's section, you could make the blocks not randomized to start so that the player can build up some fall power and better adjust to the controls?
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!
Yeah, since this is one of my first times doing this, i did find it somewhat difficult to balance the game. I kept making tweaks to it but I couldnt get it perfect, so I had to leave it as is. It's also the reason theres no music, as i don't have any experience with that stuff yet, but for my next submission I'll definitely try!
I think the balance of this game is really interesting. You're trying to stay in the middle to wait for the most amount of options. I also love how you can get upgrades for your bean! it adds a lot of depth
Thanks! I had trouble balancing the game perfectly but I tried to make it as friendly as possible!
