The audio is a highlight for me. Love the soundtrack and the different sound fx crack me up. Works well with the goofy vibe\n\nI like the visuals too on the cave, the upgrades, all of it. I wish the Fall Man himself had a bit more design to him. The blank white appearance feels out of place there.\n\nWith gameplay, I do think the combo of the slow-ish acceleration and the camera position makes it a bit difficult to respond and react. It can feel like things appear before you have a chance to move, even though you saw it ahead of time. This would be improved just with a bit more tightness on the controls\n\nAlso maybe I am doing something wrong but the dash doesn't seem to work for me.\n\nAll in all fun game, sound on!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1123010,"author_name":"Scott R Howell","author_uid":"scott-r-howell","epoch":1743994939,"text":"Simple but it scratches an itch, easy to just sit there idley playing, like the sound effects brought me a grin, good work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1123152,"author_name":"LDJam user 301711","author_uid":"301711","epoch":1744002414,"text":"Great idea, love it!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1123161,"author_name":"Clintor24","author_uid":"clintor24","epoch":1744003154,"text":"@swooty Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I totally agree with you. They do start coming pretty fast once you get farther in. Adding those tweaks you mentioned would make it a bit easier to play for sure.
