Lovely simple game, I laugh several times. It's a good job, especially for a first ludum dare entry even if it was sometimes a litte bit laggy :)

Glitched out after a while by instantly losing about round 4 in. Kind of creepy concept. The advert pop up was pretty darn funny, and the game was a simple fun diversion for a while.

Nice enjoyable game. But when I tried resetting, it wouldn't reset and it would keep saying game over.

The ad placement was funny. Took me a bit to catch onto clicking and holding. Is the timer supposed to keep going before you hit Next Level?

Good idea for a game. I thought more could have been added though. Loved the ads, haha!

Nice attempt for your first Ludum Dare!

I was a bit lost at the beginning with there being no tutorial or anything to tell me what was happening. (I wasn't aware I had to click until I read the description, adding just this line of text in the game in the first level would help a lot)

As people mentioned, it was also a bit strange the timer keeps going even after the level has ended.

It was fun to catch all the (I'm not exactly sure what they are) things under the skin. But because they just disappeared when clicked on, it didn't "feel" very good.

You'll be surprised at how adding small things like a "+10!" score prompt or a little squish animation or any positive feedback like that can make a huge difference in making players really love to press on them.

I couldn't really play too much because I lost once and the game seems to be stuck on "Game Over" even when I restart it.

Although, it didn't really seem fair because I lost trying to click on the "Next Level" button.

This might be an example of the game being frustrating rather than difficult. Since you lose when you click outside of the things, and I don't exactly know the hitbox or boundary for them (making them light up when your mouse is over them would fix this) so it can be frustrating when someone mislicks and loses but thinks he really did click on them.

The ads as a mechanic were nice in keeping the game from getting stale. If you had more time you could have added maybe different kinds of things, instead of moving back and forth, maybe going in and out of the skin and you had to catch them at the right moment.

Hope you had fun doing this though, and hope to see you in the next Ludum Dare :D

He he, funny little game! But for some strage reason, I can only play the web version once, then I'm stuck on the game over screen, even when I reload the page. Talk about permadeath! ;)
