Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.
- Immediately nails the theme and style, with it being both relevant to the level design, world design and gameplay mechanics. Continues to develop the mechanics and difficulty with minimal instruction right up to the "end" which then unlocks genuinely challenging levels and a speedrun mode. Top shelf.
- this is a STRONG contender! i really genuinely enjoyed my time playing hosehead, i even went for some of the challenge levels, despite having 1400 submissions to view, absolutely stellar, you should absolutely expand this concept, and make this a full release, id pay money for it! a couple upgrades or new mechanics to expand it once we get used to it, different environments and bosses. for real, you've got gold here.

Great game, I'm not much of a platformer player myself, however I did enjoy this one. Well executed!
Pretty fun! Enjoyed my time with it, simple to learn and fun physics.
Amazing combo of simple mechanics that combine to make something much greater than its parts, and love the tutorializing. Was a blast to play, reminds me slacking off in school with coolmathgames.
Had a really great time playing this!! ❤
The flying around was very fun and the visual were just awesome.
Had some issue with the controls on the web build before I went full screen but I'm pretty sure that's just browser things.
Fun fun fun. Clever use of your core mechanic, good level design, clean art style. Excellent.
INSANELY FUN GAME, VERY FUN PUZZLE-PLATFORMING, ART LOOKS AMAZING, MUSIC IS GROOVY
If this game does turn into a real game I would love to play it
Such a fun idea and I love that there are bonus levels after you've won. Definitely going to come back later and replay this to beat them.
Great game, I see a lot of potential with this one. Bit more polish and levels and you have a sellable game. Also audio filter was cool.
Had a lot of fun with this! feels really good to control. and it looks great for such minimalist design. Great Job!
Oh yeah, that is a really fun game! Love the polish and sounds! If I were to add one thing it might be to change up the background texture a bit so it doesn't feel quite so much like a prototype stage. Other than that, really amazing job! Fantastic!
Everything about this was awesome, I would love to see a timer and a speedrun leader board! (and it turned into a full game) amazing work
well you're in luck! there's a speedrun mode in the level select screen, and a leaderboard over here: https://www.speedrun.com/HOSEHEAD
Feels very polished and I like the concept. Well done.
Just beat all the regular levels; That was such a fun game to play!!! The movement looks very polished and the art is simple but very effective! great job
I love the music, the art and the mechanic is super fun! Great job!
I enjoyed this! Nice difficulty
That was some good minutes spent. Simple art, simple technique and simple level. It is great, the animation and movement are smooth. You should definitely try to release it on mobile or console. I am sure a lot of people would like it.
Love it!
Great job!
This was a very fun game, but I attempted level 21 and couldn't even get past the initial wire, whoa super hard.
Absolutely loved this game. Music was amazing, gameplay was fun and challenging. Great work
