Cool game! Great sounds!And your game's concept is really interesting! It requires super fast finger speed to get high score! But it is impossible to save the cube when more than two dots come at the same time. Maybe you can manipulate enemies instead of randomly spawn them to solve that mission impossible situation.

Hope you can play my game, too! -> https://itch.io/jam/scorejam17/rate/137957

Good challenge. Nice game!

Surprisingly more rewarding and interesting than I thought, given that its similarities with most of the other games in the jam in terms of base mechanics; the fact that protection is limited to the actual movement of the "shield" makes it much more rewarding and more similar to a rhythm-based game. Graphics and sounds are kinda uninspired though, and I found it quite unfair when yellow triangles spawned on the upper or lower sides of the screen, as there wasn't that much time to react

I really like the concept of this game. Also, the theme is represented well here. The visuals can be improved in my opinion.

Overall, good work!

What a fun take on the reaction time style game we've been seeing a lot! Very unique and the controls felt really snappy and responsive! Great entry :D

Thank you for checking the game out! Though I'm a bit confused since the screenshot you posted is from penalty rush

Lol, that's embarrassing! Seem to have lost myself in the many tabs... xD I'm making an attempt to comment on your game this time! :D

 

I got 400 high-score, will make an attempt for a better one later! I liked this! At first I thought, "well, this isn't even possible, is it?" but I don't know if it was designed that way or a lucky coincidence that the game was kind on what counted as a hit. The speed variations and increasing difficulty felt just right and made you keep planning and reacting fast.

A superb high-score game, well done! :D

The concept is unique though the game is quite difficult to start with! Liked the sound effects! Good job overall!

Thank you!

A really unique concept. Though at first the difficulty was hard, when you get the hang of it breaking records becomes easy. It does need a few tweaks but the game was wonderful

Developer

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the game!

Okay, here's some feedback:

1. The theme

I really like the idea for the game. It is really unique and i will give you 5 stars on this.

2. The gameplay

The game is really really addicting, but unfortanetly way too hard. I kind of got the hang of it after a while but still: Make it easier! Then i would love to play it more often. If you will make it easier in the future, just reply to this comment again so i can play the improved version! :)

3. The graphics

The graphics are okay, but as a tip: You can make way better graphics by choosing a nicer color scheme. Sites like colors.co will help you with that. Also, on sites like google fonts you can download pretty fonts.

4. The sound

I like the moving sound, the others were also not bad. The music unfortanetly got a bit annoying over time, maybe either make really calm or really upbeat music.

I hope my feedback helped you a bit. If  you have some time, it would be nice if you checked out our submission too. Thanks! :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and for playing the game! I have plans to continue working on the game perhaps to release it on mobile due to the easy controls.  I'd love to check out your submission. Thank you again!
