Great game! The controls are nice and simple. I also appreciate having two different difficulty modes as this was a very challenging game.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like the gameplay!
Great simple concept, liked having a chill mode for after the rage mode! Looking forward to further updates. Thumbnail and pixel artwork really identifiable, nice.
If you did have a few minutes to check out my game for feedback that would be cool too.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like the art and gameplay. I'm updating it Saturday, with mobile support!

Great game!
Look at this vicious thief! I sure don;t wanna mess with that guy! *pat pat pat* Art was very clean and cute, sound was pretty good as well but I wish the track could loop a little bit better. Game play was simple but fun! I rage quit rage mode which I call a success!
Thanks for the feedback! I only noticed the music issues once I had submitted, but I'm going to upload a big update that will fix this on Saturday.
Yup. Put me in a rage. I really appreciate the concept and the simplicity. I like the design, but I'd love to see it fully developed with some dope artwork.
Nice game man! I really like the concept, maybe in the future you could implement some more variety in lasers and add other traps and puzzle like elements. I also like the art. The character looked great!
Play my game if you get a chance!
Good game, dying does not fill so bad with how you did the respawn :-)
consider checking my game too
Thx for the feedback!
Good game definitely got me in rage mode! Would be a great mobile release :)
Would be appreciated if you could check my game out
Actually, I'm releasing v1.5 on Saturday which will be playable and downloadable on mobile. Would love if you could check back here to play :)
Fun little game. I tried the rage difficulty and completed it haha. At the end of the game player kept going left and after like a minute of pressing every key it said mission successful, letting you know so you can fix it.
Overall, great game. Congrats on your entry!
yeah when I found out about that bug I was really annoyed. Pressing spacebar fixes it tho
this game is so cool!I had a lot of fun playing it.
It will be nice if you check out our game too!
Pretty fun timing game! I started on rage mode and reloaded after about 5 minutes of trying haha. I did beat it on chill mode though! I have some suggestions for improving the game - could be helpful if you are planning to work on it more after the jam:
1. Add some more patterns on the background wall. I thought it was fun using it as a reference on where to safely stop but variation I could use was far and few between.
2. Either make collectables meaningful or remove them. Understood they were implemented to meet the jam limitation, but they don't add much. In fact, just by playing you can't even miss them. I think it'd be cool to keep them in the game but have them move up and down so the player has to put in some effort to collect them.
3. Reduce music volume or tone down the bass notes a little bit. It was a bit too heavy.
Good jam submission, cheers!
Great suggestions! I'll try adding some of these in v1.5, coming this Saturday!
Very fun and frustrating game haha. Definitely think this is good as a mobile game though sometimes the laser colliders were a bit off. BTW does it have an end? When I went back it just kept going outside of the playable zone. Happy jamming!
it does have an end but for some reason you have to press spacebar once you get to it to progress. This will be fixed in v1.5, coming Saturday
Oh fantastic, I think this will be very fun to play especially with more levels!
Thanks! This is my first full game
You wasnt lying about rage mode :D Pretty simple and fun game i can see myself playing this on mobile.Maybe adding diffrent types of obstacles can improve the game :)
Great work loved it :D
Glad you liked it! I'm actually adding mobile on Saturday, I'll let you know when it's ready!
Nice, well polished game!
I got 143.3 on "Chill" lol...
Maybe you could have so the lasers show where they will appear before they appear?
Also, the collectables aren't shown. I think there was collectables?
But they just disappear and it doesn't show how many I have, so they're kinda unnecessary. I think it should focus more on the collectables! :)
Fair enough, maybe I'll add a collectables counter....
Fun little game! This could be expanded to more levels.
The music is kind of funny, i don't know why hahahah, it remembers me a comedy movie.
I'd love to know what do you think of my game :D
Thanks for the feedback! I literally had like fifteen minutes to make the music! Glad you'd like to see more of this game tho. By next Saturday, it should have mobile support!
it was simple but fun! The music and style really gelled. My submission is a similar style and i'd appreciate if you could check it out!
Thanks!
You have a nice concept, but yeah, the lasers are hard to dodge. The thing i really liked was the music, really blends with the environment.
Feel free to check out my game
It did make me rage, but hey you have the warning! Really cute and fun game overall. Really great work!
It would mean a lot if you could check out my Jam submission if you get the chance. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback!
It's a good idea but you should add some sort of indicator to help the player predict the lasers.
The concept looks like fun but when you can't see where it's safe to be in you can't really play...
