Move the Foxies around on the screen to POP the balloons before the timer or space runs out. Avoid the plants, which will result in instant failure. The level is won when less than 20 balloons are left, when the timer runs out. Tip: Use multiple fingers.

The game looks cool, and I like how the levels change, but I can't figure out how to move Foxy :( Also, I found a couple typos ("ballons", etc).

@marsepstein thanks for the feedback. To move you either have to click and drag (if on computer), or touch and drag (if on mobile). I also rated your game - nice one ;)

Hey this is a cool game, i could move the fox well and pop the balloons. But, hmm, is there some level after level 3? I pooped the ballons and changed the stage, but was still in level 3. But it was a nice game, good job!

Fun game! I got to level 10 and then it got really chaotic with 4 Foxies. At first when I started dying I wasn't seeing the hazards but my brother pointed them out to me. Had fun with the "punch" item that popped everything at once haha good job!

Cute game! I liked how you have to use a certain colored fox to get rid of that color balloon and also the fact that you have to avoid things in the map to prevent people from just swiping really fast and carelessly! Good job :D

@drell thank you for the nice comments. I also played your game and it was really cute. A unique idea that kinda stands out as not what is expected :)

Enjoyed popping those balloons with foxy! Fun frantic game with nice sound effects and music. Felt like the obstacles would sometimes appear very quickly without giving me a chance to react. Maybe, I was moving to fast though. Well done!

I think the plants should be better visible

Pretty nice game with a cutesy touch and some nice multifoxing action !

Pros :
- Nice gameplay loop, with fun and addictive swiping gameplay
- Great difficulty curve, the addition of a second fox is a brilliant idea
- Cute graphics and audio (love the audio feedback of balloons popping)

Cons :
- A really short in-game tutorial would be a great addition
- The hitbox to grab the foxes is a little small sometimes

All in all, great job !

I tend to play games without reading the instructions. For some reason I thought I was supposed to avoid the balloons but doing that I kept loosing. Going back and reading the instructions though I saw my mistake and started to do batter.

Well done Jolene, for helping daddy and mummy make games. I also make games like them, and me and my little daughter Zoë make games together too! If you have the time (unrelated to LD42), feel free to play this game Zoë and I made for our family: https://multi-core-collider.itch.io/table-top-gear

Nice game! The amount of levels is good and they are getting harder in a somewhat balanced way. I played until level 10.

Well done :)

I enjoyed playing the game for a little while, I like the foxes, congrats on the submission.

I think it would be nice to better show the plants as they are added, they took me by surprise many times, it feel like I didn't get a chance to avoid them and that was disengaging.
At some point I was also able to grab both foxes, not sure how this happened(more than once), the game was way easier like that!

Good job!

Cool concept for a game. I liked the multitasking a lot. Once the obstacles game in it was a bit annoying but Overall this is unique and cool. Nice!

@jose-rodriguez @diaxcor @drums thanks for the comments. I loved playing all your entries as well. To answer the one question, the game is multi-touch on phone/tablet so each fox can be moved simultaneously - obviously more fingers on the screen limit what you can see which also make it more difficult. Also, the plants should have a slight delay as they spawn before killing you, but maybe I need to make that more explicit. Thanks for playing

Very nice concept - played with a mouse but I can imagine how much more satisfying it would be on a mobile device. Nice music, graphics, mood too - definite potential to expand this into a catchy mobile game. Good work!

Great art style and sound. Good job. I like the mechanics as well. Keep it up!

Please do check my game maybe you’ll like it and leave some feedback.

Cute concept and adorable artwork for the foxes! I tried it first with a mouse and then pulled it up on a touch screen to try controlling both foxes at once -- it seemed to work well, though I did have a pretty hard time with avoiding the plants on both devices (it's harder than it sounds haha). Nice use of multi-touch though, and well done on the submission overall :)
