Tried to play but the link is dead, got 404 not found :(

Best time 24.51

Cute idea. Really easy to understand.

I love that it's fast paced and you really can't win, only survive for longer. A great high score chaser.

Good job!

Haha a hilarious game! The short rounds mean retrying is more fun, so I appreciated that! I did have issues where sometimes the "Retry" button wouldn't come up, though.
Best I could do was 19.98, getting lucky with a string of sticks before getting squished :D
You really nailed the theme with this one, although I thought Gary was a cockroach! 🤦‍♂️😅
Great job!

Wow, how much violence!

The art is very well produced, and the sounds are receptive.

But I found the use of items confusing, the only thing I understood what it does is wood.

I think a tutorial in the post about what each item does will help the user experience.

Congratulations!

I don't undestand the purpose of the boxes and bananas.
But placing wood planks worked quite fine. Short & Fun. ^^

@kory thanks ^^ fixed.

My highscore is 20.92. Really good use of the theme. I like that the game is fast to play, however I feel that the result may be a bit too RNG-dependent. I think it would have been more fun if there were more kinds of items, so you had to prioritize which item to pick up.

Anyway, great game and the mission to "stay alive for as long as possible even though life is suffering" is a vibe.

Nice concept! Those bananas feels like placebo to me :thinking: . But I like the mechanic aligned with the theme. Well done!

nice lil ditty, fun in a very short amount of time. my best score is 20.77

Glad the link got fixed! Fun to play :) It was hard to tell that placing the items in front of the wall were doing anything, but I really liked the pipe item. Also watching my little spider friend explode was very sad well done

Very short and simple game. I like when I pick up a game and understand the concept very quickly. In this case, you kind of have to :wink: . If you continue development a little more balancing on the drops would be nice. Something to make the game a bit more forgiving so I could keep a play through going for a while and then increase the difficulty over time. It would increase the intensity and make it feel like more of an accomplishment as well as punishment when you lose.

Solid entry. Thanks!

It's easy to play.
And it's very fit the theme!

Fits the theme perfectly, lol

I like how the pipes work, and they're quite satisfying to use. The boxes and bananas could be a little more effective though, and some more variety would always be nice (although the time limit is usually to blame in these cases). The art style is one of my favorites from the jam so far. It's very unique and creates a strongly themed setting. The overflowing colors and the paintbrush texture also look really nice.

Nice and fitting idea. My best time was 20.00 (yep). The boxes and bananas were confusing at first since they don't seem to do much. Even though the game was fun, your success really depends on the items you get. I liked the hand-drawn graphics.

Cool idea with good art. My only suggestions are to adjust pipe drop rates and make boxes/bananas do more. There were runs where I got no pipes and I always got about 15s in those instances. They seemed to actually do more but if they didn't drop there was nothing I could do. Fun game though. Good job.

As some people said, pipes are the most effective. Bananas seems to be more a distraction and I like that but adding other items with different characteristics will add to the strategy.

Great game and cute graphics!
