A very interesting retro style game, I ended up with a score of 2311, but only a combo of 2. I found it very difficult at first since I didn't realize that I was supposed to collect the blue rectangles and not just shoot the circles, but it was a lot easier once I did. It does seem a bit RNG dependent though, since a lot of the blue circle could come at once. The control scheme was a bit weird though and probably made it a bit harder as a result.
Was unable to rewire my brain to not see up as the middle, would have loved to have rebindable to just five keys in a row. Seems fun but I was too ass!
I really LOVE the graphics, that art style is IMPECCABLE, and dem sounds be cromchy, I just never really figured out how I was supposed to play...
Really nice retro graphics, and fun gameplay, but the controls are definitely weird to use, it could have just been a simple left and right to move between platforms.
Really though, this is great!
Fun game, I loved the style! Had a good time playing, a quite challenging game too
I personally found the controls to be a bit unintuitive. Using X and Z to move to those two places on the left was a bit difficult to wrap my head around, but I got it eventually!
Other than that, great work and keep it up!!!
Thanks for playing! I hope you were able to check out the second part of the game as well, I may have made it too difficult.
I really enjoyed your game jam submission!
It's good. I can't really go the left, I've mashed the button and the character only moves to middle and to the right. But I must say the vibe is very good, so congrats on that. I'm sure this game can become awesome!
Thanks for playing! The first control scheme in the game is Z X left up right. The Z, X keys put you in the left two lanes!
I got combo 5, but I can't find sercret ending:(
I'd like if you play and rate my game too!
Thanks for playing! paper work was so cool!
A hint for the secret ending: you must reach a score of 15 to unlock the second part of the game, and if you get far enough there the secret ending will reveal itself to you :)
Ok, I will try!
Man, I did that! Actually, the second part is kinda scary......
And man, did you REALLY DO THAT to your wife?
thanks for playing to the end! It brings me great joy!
Such a fun game! Love the art style! And is quite challenging!
On a side note, how do you get a combo over 4?
Please take a look at my game too, if you get a chance!
Thanks for playing! I liked your puzzle game.
To get a combo over 4, try hitting the keys a bit quicker, especially when the screen gets crowded. Another hint: try getting to score>15 for a second level of the game!
I hope no one finds the most secret ending. I committed to the bit and placed some, if revealed, life altering information in my game.
This game is so fire I even showed my grandma but it scared her so she's not playing anymore
