Great game, simple and enjoyable, the kind that I wanted to make. Great job!.

I really like the polish on this game. The soundtrack, particles, and screenshake really add a lot to the game feel. Interestingly, as I was writing this comment, I left the game up in the background and a green triangle spawned that, when collected, slowed down the game which I didn't have spawn at all during my few initial attempts. I wonder if the spawn rate on that is too low or if it only appears under certain conditions. My only real complaint with the game is that since the diamonds spawn randomly, it's sometimes impossible to keep a combo going and it feels bad to lose a combo due to something out of your control. I often found myself using the dodge ability to try and keep a combo going instead of using it to dodge which made it unavailable for when I actually needed it to dodge. Also, having some sort of visual indicator that the dodge ability is off cooldown would help a lot. Really enjoyed this game. Thanks for making it!
Thanks for the nice feedback! Yes the green triangle is actually based on a random number every 5 seconds. That's why it does not appear often. I wanted to make a dash reload animation but didn't know how to make it as I wanted to make the game minimalistic. I didn't want to put a bar or something indicating the dash in the UI. Thank you again for this nice comment. I'll keep in mind your feedback when I'll upgrade the game.
This game is very juicy, it has a lot of effects and sounds going well with a frenetic gameplay, i was playing so much which is really nice. so there you are, take your score and let me go i have other things to do XD
Thank you for playing! I'll let you go now! xD
Great, solid game! Looks really finished. It's simple, but enjoyable already.
Music/Aesthetics/Effects are on high level.
Thank you for the nice comment! :D
Nice game! I really liked the color palette in the game. And also the graphics with music are good
Thank you for playing! Happy to hear that you liked it :D
Hey great game! really like the music, it gave off a very relaxing vibe that worked with the game. Challenging yet relaxing too!
Thank you! The music really helps when playing the game :D
I really enjoyed playing this game! The only issue I really had with it was that the WebGL UI didn't adjust for different resolutions very well, but otherwise, you've made a very juicy, addictive, and well-constructed game.
Thank you for playing! It was my first time trying WebGL. Gotta make sure everything works next time :D
Great music, appropriate SFX, juicy VFX, cool time distortions, and clever health UI all wrapped into a neat and engaging experience.
Very well done. Good luck! :D
Thank you for playing! Happy to hear that you liked it :D
I REALLY LOVED THIS GAME. Simple, fun, nice songs. The lifebar integrated with the character, it was awesome!
Thanks for the nice comment!
loved the health bar inside the player character good job!
Thank you! It was my first time trying that! :D
Nice game especially the music ! Good job keep it up ! rated :)
Pls rate mine too - https://itch.io/jam/scorejam13/rate/1045688
Hey! Thanks for playing!
the music is so relaxing and the screen ripple is very cool. I also like how you embedded your health onto the character, but it was hard to check while also trying to dodge.
Hey! Thanks for playing! Wanted to make the game as minimalist as possible thus came the idea of health embedded in the player! It was my first time trying that xD. Definitely needs some more tweaking. Thanks for the feedback.
Fun game!
Thank you!
Superb game.
1, There should be a healing powerup.
2, I think there should be more enemies besides the bouncing balls. Maybe a shooter and a bomber could be for cool enemies.
Besides this. It is one of the best games in the Jam.
Thanks for playing! I wanted the player to get 1 more life if he reaches a certain score but then I dropped the idea xD. Will definitely keep the feedback in mind!
Fun game! controls feel good, and very simple concept so immediately get what to do. would be great if it could scale more - but really nice for a quick fun game!
Thank you! Glad you liked it! I already have some ideas planned for the future!
The effects are super cool! I love how everything feels sharp and crisp. I feel like the slow-down power up should also slow down the reset of the combo. Other than that, a great clean looking addictive game!
Thank you for playing! Will keep the feedback in mind when I upgrade the game!
Effects are 10/10. Though the draw back is performance lol. The game ran fine for me but I have a decent Pc and im using a browser that is built to be optimized. The effects and movement is buttery smooth and I love it. Maybe make the spawn rate of the coins or point things a bit faster tho. Other than that, awesome job dude!
Thanks! I really need to keep optimization in mind the next time. :D
