Fun little game, would be great for mobile!

Really love the humor and graphics of the game. Little guys with blank stares accept their fate as they descend with their office chairs into the core of the earth. Where exactly are they going? Why are they doing this? Why are their buttocks so pronounced? We may never know.

Gameplay was a little too hard for me. I swear I tried to make it to the bottom but I had to call it quits at some point. Maybe if the game had some music, more lenient controls and a score that keeps track of how far the player managed to go, the game would be more encoraging to players. T'was fun, though.

Good job!

I love the coral reef bg. The corals are so pretty! I honestly wished there was more of that environment. Would definitely port well to mobile. And neat that you got different skins in there! I wish there was BGM though

I cannot believe I tried so hard to beat this game, just to be rewarded with another death at the very bottom!

All joking aside, this game looks smooth and perfect for what it set out to do. The increasing difficulty in each section was well done, as the last gold stretch had me doubting if I could get past it at all. A fun, little frustrating package that could be a good rage type of game. Amogus was funny to see as well.
Good job!

The art looks nice, and the game play is simple but fun. Music would've been a nice addition. Some sort of procedural generation would've been nice too to give variety between runs.

You did an excellent job with this gameplay mechanic and implementation! Great job on the artwork!

Using the click to change directions mechanic is great and one of my favorite ways to do this exact game type and you freaking nailed it!

Одна из немногих игр на людуме, в которой качественно успели сделать ВСЕ
Серьезно, и визуал, и геймлей, и звуки, при том что играть не скучно и как залипалка убить время это прекрасная игра
Вы даже скины запилить успели, восхищаюсь, 10/10

It’s very hard to control with a mouse, but it has a good feel to it.

The game is so funny and hard in the same time! It looks like Flappy Bird but i was enjoyed to play:)

Funny character, really liked the death animation :D

While the controls were simple, they were snappy and satisfying to master. Good game, I enjoyed it!

small and funny arcade, reminded me of flappy bird. graphics and animations are very cool. the game just needs a scoring system and leaderboards! cool!

Hey, this is a very hard game for my slowly moving brain :)
Cool GFX and +1 for the among skin. One thing, we need a highscore :)

Fun little game! Pretty difficult, but that's the point no? :D I loved the animation when you smash onto something, it's soooooooooo satisfying, also, AMOGUS, SUS
TimeLost8 Apr 2025, 15:56
Very challenging game but the art is cool. The sounds are amazing and the restart times are perfect for this style of game. The game is just lacking some music. Overall super cool polished game.

The game loop is very entertaining, congratulations! Like some others have said, this could be a nice mobile game. I did ran into an issue tho, after my 5th or 6th try I started getting a lot of stuttering, but went away after I reloaded.
LDJam user 3565348 Apr 2025, 16:04
Hey, this is a pretty cool idea - very much like flappy bird, but on the other axis. I really tried, but didn't manage to beat it, but it clearly is intended to be somewhat hard. The game also looks great, well done!

I like it a lot!!!! Your game came out insanely addictive, I want to play again and again, it turned out in my view quite abruptly because of which I could not go further than the red depth, I would download it on IOS and would rububil'd in it every day, while I go to the subway, the theme by the way also revealed perfectly and the back of the characters just haha)
Teist8 Apr 2025, 16:25
Really nice graphics! I'm not good enough to reach the end though

This is a really cool entry! The illustrated backgrounds are such a nice touch and make the progression much more satisfying. The mechanic itself is a nice take on the theme. I'm a sucker for skins too. Great work!

AMONG UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS. cool game. fun. Gets a bit overwhelmengly hard from 4th layer, but still fun, again really liked the inclusion of among us in this game, it added a lot, thank you.
pigeon_dp8 Apr 2025, 18:04
Super cool game, and a great idea. Loved the gameplay. It could use some kind of score tracker, though. Artstyle is :fire: :fire: :fire:

Fun game! Though it's a shame it's based on a popular franchise rather than original characters. That said, it's still beautiful and well-made—good luck with it!

I love it! Takes some time to get good at the controls but then, it's very catchy. I came here for the butts and wasn't disappointed

Love seeing a simple game! This is basically a vertical Flappy Bird and it works well, smart use of the theme! Pretty graphics help make it a short and sweet experience. Well done!

mmayans9 Apr 2025, 03:27
Super cute and very smooth game. It took me a second to understand the controls, but once i did, i had to play until i hit the bottom. The little whoosh sound effects every time you switch direction were very satisfying. The graphics were well done, i liked the backgrounds! One thing you could've done was add a parallax effect to give it a little more depth. I enjoyed playing this!

Really liked the art and the death animation especially was nice and snappy. The gameplay itself felt a little barebones, but it was still fun to explore the different biomes and see what came next!

Cool minimalistic game. Very nice visuals, and easy to understand mechanics, which however make you strain yourself in overcoming them

chiyeon9 Apr 2025, 08:27
Love the art style/overall presentation, and the actual mechanic was fun and highly replayable. Right amount of difficulty that required lots of practice/effort to get better at (at least for someone slow like me), making even small wins feel all the better. Well done!

hard but very fun!

I could only get down like 3 layers, but I really like the sussy guy in this game, very good.
If I could offer some feedback, it's that I'd like some more immediate feedback when I click to switch direction.
But quite enjoyable.

In general, it turned out cool.

For some constructive feedback, it'd be great to be able to tune down the force that pulls right.

I really had to scroll down here to leave a comment XD I had a lot of fun playing this. At first I thought I could spam click to get to the bottom but I was very wrong XD Great job :)

Simple and fun! I tried to cheat by spamming clicks at first, but the level design quickly shut that down — nicely done 😄

As a fellow developer of a single control game, I like the limitations you added here! hehe Very fun game overall to play and I love the humour of the character sitting on a little office chair lol

A person has to have a lot of imagination to create a diver in a chair with wheels. If there was a score for imagination, it would definitely be 5 stars.

A depth gauge and ranking were missing. Even with the differentiation of the scene, a gauge would be interesting.

Audio was also missing.

But I laughed a lot with the little butt.

Congratulations
