My first 2D game, where you guide a bald person with a shiny head across very unstable floating wooden structures. I'd be interested in feedback about whether you could figure out what to do.

Loved the game, wish there was more to play, as well as a little more difficult.

Thanks! A lot of my time was spent figuring out basic "how to make games", so there wasn't much time left to think of level designs. I'll prioritise it next time :)

Looks great! There's not much gameplay, but it definitely can be expanded on. The game concept isn't really that new, but the theme is still used. Graphics are very stylised which is great.

Nice entry! The gameplay was really fun, the slipperiness of the controls gives the whole thing a panicky feel, which would work really well with some larger stages. Unfortunately it was really short, but that's an 'unfortunately' because I loved the levels I played. Really wish there were more. Overall well done!

Great job.
The fact that the ball is slippery really helps the game. Otherwise it would be way to easy.

Like @hyprgloo said, it's really unfortunate that you didn't get to create more levels.

It's a fun game and I could see myself trying to get as far as possible (level wise) if there were more levels.

If you end up adding more levels in the future let me know :smile: I'd like to play them.

As bald person I personally can relate to the struggle. :D

Very nice small puzzle game!

I can see this as a bigger game, more levels and more game elements, like some other person/dot with flowing hair who pushes you if you are to slow walking by... like they always do...

I really feel that there aren't enough levels to play. The controls were a bit too slippery for my taste, but I didn't have enough time to get acustomed to them. Nice concept, I just with that there could be more.

Would really love to see more levels cause this is fun to play

Quite charming graphics, really. Agree with the other players: there's just not enough content.

Sorry @zayah0-0 and the others who commented – it was my first 2D game so I spent so much time figuring out how to do stuff I had no time left for level design :face_palm:

A really good idea ! Too bad that there is no music or more levels.. But it's a great job for a first 2D game ! Continue !!

The game is good at what it does, but it is definitely lacking in content. You should consider adding more levels and more game mechanics. The levels you do have seem to focus more on how fast you go run between points and don't rely on any puzzle solving or anything- so in future levels if you want to make them more challenging try adding enemies or little puzzles that the player must overcome.

So soft, hard and easy at the same time haha both on the good way, simple and funny!

@divinenephron A nice implementation of the theme. Liked the visuals, although i wished the game to be much longer. Nice game.
