- I love your stuff HeavyHue! But there's a few critiques I have on this one. First off, the premise is awesome as well as the mini-game itself, I enjoyed getting upgrades each round and having what the game asks increase per size. Now as for the main thing that's lowering the score for me. I cannot for the life of me complete anything past round 5 or 6 due to crashes, my guess is the bottles aren't despawning when they leave the screen but I can't see the code and therefore cannot verify. I also think the game could use more sfx with gurgles drinking and such. Overall, very good game and I'm happy to play it but there's just a few coding hiccups that could be fixed given more time. Thank you very much for all your hard work! I hope to see more from you in the future! -Mark(Team Quimbly)
- It's a cute little game, and I really appreciate the power-ups. However, I did have some issues with them, like not always feeling they were doing much or working properly. I believe I encountered a glitch after leveling up my speed twice, where the hand stopped working, but I couldn’t replicate it, so that was weird. I liked how you created two girls who both felt very 50s, especially the blonde one, two of them kept the game fresh. I really like how they both grow in different ways—that’s also a good idea for keeping things interesting. The game does get a little boring, especially when waiting around for the soda. The power-ups help keep it engaging for a little while, but not enough to make it worth a replay. The main thing that keeps me coming back is the art it’s just so cute, and I really like it. The story works very well too, and I love the soda theme. Overall, it’s a cute idea with cute art, but the game play could use something extra to help it stand out and stay interesting.
- Great little game! Whilst it seems as though it's not feature complete, its playable and very clear what you were setting out to try and make. The theme, artwork and mechanics all blend together into a very cohesive little project. The game was almost bug free, I only encountered a single softlock where I couldn't spawn any hands. I think this was caused by me allowing the game to spawn bottles on too many lanes, but I'm not 100% sure. What made the game were the sound and art, the track was an absolute bop and both girls were cute as buttons! The brunette appealed to me immensely, being an ass man myself haha~ The only drawbacks were, the seemingly incomplete nature of the game (no penalties or game overs, not knowing when I'd hit the end of the content) and that the first few rounds were a little tedious because of how few bottles spawned. Overall, a pretty fantastic entry, well done!

Bit rudimentary and dependent on RNG. There is also a glitch where you can no longer use your hand. While I was playing, I had an thought that the game might be more fun if the hand was able to be launch a specific distance when pulled back then return like pulling it back would imply. Perhaps the hand area could be a counter instead of just a grey area. 3/5 not the best expansion game I've ever played.
10/10
I enjoyed this game a fair bit. A good time killer
Good point:
-I like your art.
-The swelling part is very successful. It is present and accompanied throughout the game. At this level the game goes to the essential without shyness.
-The game is effective, the physics are solid, the improvements are good, and work well.
-I have already seen games that had the same mechanics, but I do not think I have seen this variation. Starting from the sides rather than from the bottom. is one thing. But the part where you have to catch the right one in addition to a bandage system like the bow and a system of improvement not level. All these ideas I have already seen them but not put together with each other. Well done.
-The music is very well chosen. a good loop that works well without frills.
Point to review-Does not work after lvl 6. Domage
-where is the girl in the white dress in the game picture.
-The game has a pacing issue though. You can sometimes spend more than 10 seconds at the beginning of the game waiting for a bottle you need to appear. If you don't optimize the bottle appearance at the beginning, the levels can be very long. Which limits the builds at the beginning of the game.
Final View:
If I had to stop here in my tests this game would be the winner for me. Simple, effective, it meets the criteria, it is cute, original in its gameplay and catchy music. Just a slight slowdown in the mechanics of the game with the bottles which can put off at the beginning of the game and which makes the improvement of bottle popping almost essential at the beginning. I already had an eye on your work since the preggo gale jam, I see that I was not mistaken.
Thank you for your game and your work. I had a lot of fun. Believe me, if it had lasted longer I would have been happy to continue giving it my time. I wish you good luck and I hope to see you next time. :D
Wow thanks for your praise! I'm happy you liked what I have so far, but I'm also glad you could give genuine critical feedback. I plan on addressing a lot of the concerns and bugs in a later update, just busy because of holidays and all right now. Hope you stay tuned!
Solid game. I really didn't mind the slow beginning. Only problem is that it stopped working after the 6th level, but real fun!
looks solid but with how slow the beginning is i couldnt get into it too much
pretty good
not trying to be all mad beacause i also made a game, this game is semi tedious in the begining…
No password for me- and no bug if downloaded. Good game
This game would be good if that hand bug was fixed at the game not being so slow.
