- I like the concept here quite a lot and I feel like refining it would be the best bet as opposed to adding too much. The player scissor felt a little slow, but that's just personal opinion. It would be neat if its movement had momentum in that it took a moment to stop and a moment to get up to full speed.
Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes
Tell us about your game!
Twisted Scissors is a single player, high score chasing, arcade game about landing trick shots and dodging hazards.
You play as a left-handed pair of scissors who is a friend of the rocks, and must keep them safe, while avoiding having them accidentally crush you.
Inspired by a Viral Tik Tok, and low-complexity high-depth games like Peggle and Tetris, Twisted Scissors aims to explore a number of very familiar concepts in a very unique way.
If you were looking for a goal to consider "beating the game", I would consider a gold medal a win. For anyone looking for a tougher challenge, you can seek out the higher medals, the highest of which is the illusive blue medal.
WASD / Arrow Keys / Controllers all work :)
That and enter/start to pause and unpause is all you need.
Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes
Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes
Extra Notes
The Foley used for sound effects may be unpleasant to someone with particularly sensitive hearing, so the game is muted by default, but I would highly recommend the audio be enabled for full game feel :)

This game is very very fun and makes me want to keep playing. Movements feel good and I like the art and animations. Would love some music/sounds to add to the polish but overall great job!
To add to this - I just found out the volume of the game was all the way turned down for me LOL. Disregard the comment about wanting sound haha.
9/10 great game fun to play no real complaints great job
