Death comes for all of us eventually. Right now, it's coming for :egg:...

* meteors
* some music I made
* excessive screen shake
* not the default unity game jam UI
* a mildly tuned difficulty curve
Also it's way harder on the Windows client than WebGL because the particles are substantially denser.
* Clamp your velocity when adding forces indiscriminately
* Scale your lateral movement control with respect to vertical speed for non-game-breaking air control!
* Particle systems and game feel tweaks are black holes; save them for the end
* Impact noises and particle sprites are from asset store and shouldn't be rated

Meteors spawn at a semi-random rate that increases over time up to a plateau. Egg is drawn to your cursor, and the meteors are drawn to Egg. The longer the game goes, the more fixated on egg's position they become. If you get knocked into the air, you have some limited control, BUT if you get knocked too high, or too fast laterally, you lose the ability to draw Egg to the cursor until you've landed again. SUPER SECRET TIP (my sister is a cheater and was exploiting my meteor AI and sending me screenshots of her scores): If you want to get the Big Times, hide in the corner until you know some meteors are coming, then switch corners and repeat. Keep going indefinitely until the game lags or you get bored. Enjoy it while you can, 'cause I am eventually going to patch it >:[ (addendum: I did not patch it.)Also it's way harder on the Windows client than WebGL because the particles are substantially denser.
Very Short Post-Mortem (for Unity game devs)
* If you're using RigidBody, use FixedUpdate instead of Update* Clamp your velocity when adding forces indiscriminately
* Scale your lateral movement control with respect to vertical speed for non-game-breaking air control!
* Particle systems and game feel tweaks are black holes; save them for the end
