it could be worse
A short simple game about a world in collapse.
Survive for as long as possible, not matter what the world throws at you! It could make you slower, it could make you weaker, it could make it...rain? Just hang in there, and remember, it could be worse.
- WASD to move
- Mouse and left click to shoot
- Don't touch the red stuff!
- There are 10 random events that makes the game harder every 10 seconds. Good luck!

This game oozes style, and feels amazing and fluid to play. I particularly love the parralaxed block colour background with the text, it really felt like there was always looming doom, and it really could get worse. Great tie in of the jam theme into the game, and the games theme into the gameplay.

Very funny game with really smooth controls and interesting enemy design. Loved it.

Fun take on the theme! I got up to 5855 with very good RNG on my second run and failed on a sudden inverted controls ramming me into a wall :D Good work on making each status effect feel meaningful, rather than -3% movement speed or something. I think hitting enemies could have had a bit more feedback but otherwise not much to complain about. Oh also the visual design is very neat, I especially like the "main menu", it's looks so good!
Also some eerie similarities to my game, solid reddish background with a timer in the distance and levels built out of boxes :D

For as simplistic as this was, firing your weapon was very satisfying. I like your approach to the enemy
aesthetic (the shrinking/growing of the blocks looked cool). Fun little game. I got 13000 points! I wish there was a little back spray when you shot the enemies, but hey, it could be worse.

What can I say? It could be worse. :wink:
