Thanks! It takes me a long time to try to make music that sounds half decent -- I can hear when things are wrong, but I can't easily figure out how to make it right.
The graphics and animation are really slick! Makes the game feel very polished, and really made it fun to dash around the mazes. The death animation made me grin :P
Nice game, very pretty ! I just don't understand the player progression, it's weird that you can choose beetween chasing score and risking game over or playing safe...
Yeah, there are problems with the gameplay. Time was running out and I wasn't 100% certain what should have been done to make it better. One simple game mechanic that could have improved it was to make it possible for the player to collect all the dots and be awarded bonus points for clearing it in under 10 seconds.
I like it! It has that strange addictiveness quality, I think because it is so simple and easy to control, and because it keeps constantly changing before getting boring! I like the increasing amount of enemies, I just found some of the initial setups unfair, like you starting the level surrounded by two gears that are already coming in your direction and there's nothing you can do to avoid being killed cause there's no space to manouver. But I know, this is a burden from quickly done procedural levels, right? This jam was my second time in LD doing procedural levels too and, well, as much as you try to place rules to ensure all levels are fair, 72 hours (48 in your case!!!) is way too little time to stumble on all possible situations. Personally, I don't care, though! Making a game that is really challenging to make is also part of the fun for me! :D And you know, for a fan of procedurally generated stuff, not knowing if what is waiting behind the next corner will be fair or not is actually part of the charm too!

I, however, do found that sometime enemy and the character spawns right next to each other which means instant death :|
Congrats on your game, it's simple and fun! :D
