Very promising, great style. Hope you get it wrapped up in time for tasty Jam.
I found the timer to be a non-issue, and the purple ball wasn't too difficult to avoid, so I'd definitely introduce something else to make the gameplay more difficult, at the moment it feels a bit much like an endurance test rather than skill.
Anyways it's a nice game, and I think everything you have in works, you just need to add more!
Another nice touch is the sound indicator for when you are running out of time, but it took me a bit to realise the connection between the sound and how much time I had left.
Overall, really nice and fun game.
A big plus because a llama is involved.( Check out my game Spermicorn if you are a llama lover ;)
Good job!!
The game is simply fun! the keyboard control feels a bit finnicky, but that's honestly just my opinion, and probably intentional. otherwise this is quite an solid entry! Would love for this to be expanded more! :D
It took me a minute to figure out what to do. I think a litle bit of sound effects would go a long way to indicate when you're doing something "wrong". But once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. And when I realized that it kept adding more stuff as you built a combo, I just had to keep trying! For a while I was trying to fly in a circular pattern, but then I switched to a rapid back-and-forth pattern which worked a lot better. This is definitely one of the most fun games I've played so far in the jam.
I liked the art style and simple, rhythmic sounds. It made me want to play this standing up at an arcade machine with a glowing CRT and a old-school arcade stick.
