Handshake Sim is a game where you take on the role of a businessman and must shake the hands of world. Made in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 34 with the theme "Growing".
Hand shake game? Interesting. Controls feel a bit sluggish and I didn't realize I had to move forward after the tutorial because the projectiles were moving toward me.
This was surprisingly fun for such a simple game! My only complaint was that some levels were a bit easy. Perhaps some auto scrolling would have made it a bit harder?
Graphics were simple but got the job done. Audio was excellent!
Use of the theme(s) didn't really seem to be there, but I did like the tongue-in-cheek business commentary.
Pretty good. Felt like it needed a bit more though, kinda felt a bit plain at times, and also maybe a safe zone at the ending, cause I would get to the hand and as I go to touch it a drop or such would fall right through it. Good game though :D
Almost the perfect handshake simulator. My only advice would be to add a few frames of invincibility after getting hit; I found it annoying to be killed from 2 health by a well-timed pair of obstacles.

Well done!
A few impressions:
That first (extending) moment as your reach further and further across the table is great.
Took me a minute to realize that only your hand is vulnerable, but the formation of the levels made that clear pretty quickly.
Mr. Business is a very abrupt difficulty spike, felt a tad cruel. Eventually did shake his hand, though.

Thanks for the game!
Thought it was a innovative game.
Music matched the style.
Game overall was really good.
This game really shows how the business world really works... :P
