This idea is tremendous. What on earth gave you the idea to make a strand of hair protecting a man's head from dandruff into a game?
The innovation on display here is commendable and thank you for giving me a good laugh!
The difficulty here however is absurd. Some of the flakes seem impossible to reach and others are impossible to get to in time. I'm going to keep trying to see if there is a strategy, but for now it seems to just be too much at once.
However, I am going back and playing more, which still is still a good sign for your game... You have me there.

This game made me laugh out loud at the stupid concept and the character looks straight out of a Viz comic. It's a good game too but as you know, it is too hard, impossible sometimes too, even for my cat like reflexes! You did well for 2 days though and I like that the character idle animation at the beginning. I love Ludum Dare for absolutely bonkers games like this. Nice work, aside from difficulty.

The zoom into the guy's head at the start was incredible. I must agree with the difficulty complaints but the concept was very entertaining and I want to get good enough to beat it.

Very funny game, but the protector hair is a little slow compared to the falling thing, and I can't predict the coming falling things. I liked the idea of this game, well done!

That was bizarre hahaha but I agree with @poffle this is what makes Ludum Dare so cool.

It is strangely satisfying when you smack a little speck of dandruff away with a well-timed wiggle of your giant hair.

Thanks for this!
