The game is something about impossible when it comes to the end. I've managed to finish it. Nice challenge!

Developer

thank you. i've had a lot of feedback about the ending. i'm gonna lower the rate at which the anvil fall speed increases to make the game more fair.

Pretty fun to play, I agree that once it gets close to level completion its all about luck to make it to the other side as the anvils fall too fast to avoid regardless of if you see them in time or not. Maybe either have them fall slower or put some kind of warning indicator so the player has a chance to avoid it.

Developer

I realized they may fall too fast near the end, but ultimately kept it in. I might just go and slow down how much the fall speed increases by. Thank you for playing!

I liked the game, but when the overwhelm meter was close to filling up, I had to hold right and pray that the anvils didn't hit me due to how fast they were dropping.

yeah that was one thing I wasn't totally sure I wanted to keep. Thanks for letting me know, maybe I'll change it in the future. Thanks for playing!
