Got 4185 as best! Nice interpretation of theme! Very random but also possible to do good if you can react fast enough. Mostly random for me though as I am too slow :)
Good music and art. Solid little game.

I loved the take of having the dango dumplings in a limited space where the player has to focus their vision to perfect the stabbing. Very innovative design there. Well done and congratulations

Nailed the aesthetics. So simple yet so satisfying and polished.

Adorable game that perfectly fits the theme. The cheerful music adds to the charm. Would be nice to see more level and iteration of the idea.

Really fun game, only thing I felt missing was a leaderboard to compare my previous tries or to the score of other people. And maybe a volume slider for the background music. Overall a very fun short game!

Fun game with great music! I'm not sure how to acquire any skill in this game though. Everything I did felt quite random and the best score I got was probably around 2600 the first time I played. But I still had fun! :smile: Well done!

Amazing! The concept was very fun and I really liked playing this little game. The music was extremely catchy, I kept the tab open just to keep listening to it :laughing:.

Oh boy, I forgot my high score. I think it's 2918? At any rate, good work! I was not able to break the game by spamming (haha). It does feel like it takes some luck to get a good score, but it's fine that way too.

A fun bite sized game. Feels like I entered some festival booth with the music and the atmosphere. I am probably getting scammed but I don't care xD

It is a bit frustrating to have dango go up/down without any way to hit them. If they were at least moving at an angle, there would be some chance to reach it. A waste to have a golden dango that's just to the right of my skewer, going down along the gap, tempting me.

3622!

I like the simplicity, things really just work as they're supposed to, and of course the sound and music stands out a lot.

Cool game. A restart button at the end would have been nice. Feels like it belongs in a set of games like Warioware.

Very fun and light-hearted game, played it through a few times to see if I could beat my high score.

I like the idea and the music/sound is cool. It would have been good if there were levels of varying degrees of difficulty (just narrower view, I guess).

Overall, an interesting and unique take on the theme. Good job!

Cute! I couldn't get more than about 2000. My one suggestion would be that I wish the numbers stuck around a little longer after the stab so you could see how well you did more clearly.

But I did mash the key or button :-)

Ah wow the music is great! I absolutely love the take on the theme, very creative! My best score was around 3600.

I like how there's no way to extend the duration of the game. you get 15 sticks and no more. It adds a great level of challenge, where I found myself waiting for the perfect moment. All around, nice work.
