It took me a couple failed tries to get a grasp on the controls, but once I did I actually had a lot of fun with this! It reminded me of the kind of flash game that I could've burned hours and hours on back in the day, I can see the potential for simple, addictive gameplay here. The art and music are really nice, and the inclusion of a leaderboard helped bring a little bit of replayability as I wanted to see how high I could get on the high scores. Good use of the theme as well!

Aww thanks so much! We spent a lot of time on the movement on the game and changed it several times. We'd like to make it easier to get the hang of right away but I'm glad you didn't let the failed attempts stop you from trying and mastering it. With all the awesome feedback we're planning to work on it more after the jam and get it feeling really good. Your callback to old flash games hits me in the feels. haha thanks for playing!
