A little too easy but maybe it was luck. Might need some better indication when the hammer drops to give you half a second to react. Maybe have color runs ie 3 green tiles in a row.
I liked the cats, the maze, and the spinning hammer. Only issue I had was that the first few times I thought you were supposed to NOT be on the color the cat hits with the hammer.
The art and audio work very well together - I do wish there were more audio cues though. Very fun concept, and I think it works very well as a short little arcade game; I'd love to play more!
It's pretty fun to play. I don't know if this was done on purpose, but I would have made the color of the cells clearer for the player, for example, by painting most of it, not just the cross in the center.
I like the idea, the graphics and the music, but I think I have found a bug: sometimes, I get blasted away even when I am standing on a tile with a color different from the one pushed by the hammer :/ It happened more than once that I was between a blue and yellow tile (e.g.) and while the cat at the center pushed the red tile I was still sent flying...
I like the overall feeling of the game, just like playing a funny relaxing party game (single person party haha). The background music is really relaxing.
Nice game, would have been nice if there were more levels, or if the hammer smacked down more frequently, I was able to get all the donuts before he could even smack a third time.
A nice little game. I like the concept, and I'm pretty sure I've not seen it done before. If the donuts were replaced by some semi-transparent crystal, or similar, then it would be easier to see which colour cross the player is stood on, which would help with knowing where to stand. Also, if the hammer was raised higher at the end of a spin, it would feel a little fairer, giving that moment to respond to which colour cross is about to be hit. Sound effects would also be hugely helpful. Maybe a different sound associated with each colour, both for squares stood on, and for which button is hit by the hammer. Everything would feel more full and alive with footsteps, hammer hit sounds etc.
The idea for the mechanic and gameplay are the biggest strength, I think, and the visuals in a close second. Well done, and thanks for sharing!!
(PS, also, I love it when jam games are at a difficulty level where I can complete them in two or three attempts, so spot on with that!!)
A fun game for sure and a nice idea. As others have said it was quite easy tho. I actually had hard time trying to be on the wrong square and first I even thought nothing happened but then I got flying.. :D a nice way to die? Great look and audio! Good job!
Cool idea, though I feel tile-based movement would've been far more appropriate for this game. Also, it seems collision detection with the tiles is super bugged, I'm getting killed standing on a tile of a different color from the one the cat hammers.
