This is exactly the kind of game i wanted to make as well, i intended to make before the jam started :laughing: I made a C++ emscripten game as well. Wanted to do a simple, clever, fun mechanic, not too much art, so there is enough time to polish everything up. You executed that perfectly. I'm jealous :laughing: Would have liked to know how many levels there are, or if there is an end to the game \/ a highscore of some kind.

The levels are randomly generated, so you can keep playing forever if you like, but the difficulty stops at level 15 (and in fact, the number will stop going up).  I meant to add an end screen after you beat level 15 but ran out of time.  My friends and I have been comparing times to beat level 15.\n\n![image.png](\/\/\/raw\/939\/z\/56293.png)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":913744,"author_name":"jaywoody","author_uid":"jaywoody","epoch":1673469147,"text":"What a cool game!
