Very cool game, I like it!
Love the balance here. The mechanics are intuitive, but the increasing speed makes it a real test of reflexes. It has that classic arcade feel where you always want to beat your high score. A fantastic tribute to the retro era. congrats on the release!
Very easy to pick up but surprisingly challenging as things speed up and require quick thinking. The Retro visuals and musics took me back to my Game boy era. It's the perfect game for a quick session that easly can turn into a "just more game". Super reccomended!
