Funny game, a bit too much inertia which cause collision sometime, a bit frustrating.\nkey binding is a really good option!

Nice simple game, good polished graphics. Controls were a little stiff and fast in my opinion

Simple but fun game. My biggest complaint is about the default controls: why Z/X and not arrow keys or WASD?

Thanks Rémi. I just figured not all people have arrow keys on their keyboards, next time I’ll go with WSAD since most people seem to like or expect that :)

Pretty fun, very nice visuals, bit loose controls, fun power up effects, basic gameplay.

\n

Like the high score. Sounds get a bit eh after a while, but they are there.

Causal game as you said, but very well done ! I like the fact you can configure the controls, I found the game dynamic and pleasant to play and I love the bluesy main song!

I had a lot of fun playing this one! The music is very fitting, and the graphics are nice and shiny. Personally, I’d prefer the controls were A and D. Nice effort!

Fun game. It’s nice to provide customize key feature!! And I think the game is simple and classical.

I enjoyed playing this game, despite it being pretty tough and calling my score abysmal ;)

\n

I like the graphics and sound and also the little touches like confetti and avatar leaning when moving.

\n

I played for quite a bit but I didn’t discover the hidden score multiplier.

Thanks. I feel that I was too harsh with the ratings, you have to get a very good score before it even compliments you a little ;)

\n

Okay, there is a certain angle range where the 13 is almost flat facing the right way up. If you collide with it when its between those angles you get bonus points and don’t die.

Congrats on your game!

\n

It is fun. Something I really liked was the way you did the magnet and how it feels once you have it. It provides a good experience to the player.

\n

Something that could be better would be the controls. It is kind of difficult to control the player to be able to avoid the 13s effectively.

\n

Thanks for the game!

Fun game, would be nice if it got harder over time, maybe it does? Was hard from the off.

\n

Nice graphics and concept, simple but fun.

At first I thought this game was very hard and got a bit discouraged. After discovering what the power-ups did, I still think it’s hard, but I’ve had fun playing it! Nice music and sound effects, too.

\n

Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a js13k game which allowed to customize controls. I changed them to left and right arrows which helped me get higher scores. Thanks for thinking about it and for designing a dedicated options screen!

Thanks for your kind review. The code that manages the persistent controls has been present in all of my js13k games for the past 3 years and has been constantly evolving :)

My best score was 30,750 (“terrible”). The game really rewards patience and discipline, if you try to go for everything you almost certainly die. My best run was mostly a matter of staying alive and taking whatever coins just happened to land in my lap. Catchy music, cute graphics. Nice job!

Thats a well implemented casual game. The artstyle is catchy.

\n

It starts quite fast, maybe a little buildup in the difficulty would be nicer?

\n

It’s very good that the controlls can be configured, as on a QWERTZ-layout keyboard it would be unplayable without rotating the keyboard 165 degrees ;-) (this applies to the second game aswell)

Animations/transitions were very slick! Felt very natural to play!

Nice touch that you can change the keys.

I ended up with a pathetic score of 25,550 over 80 seconds.

The BGM is pretty cute and funky and I like the cartoonish.

Alas I am so bad at this game I can only get Abysmal.\nI like the hover effect on the buttons and the star effect when clicked.\nAnd of coz 13-phobia you have to avoid the number 13.

\n

And I failed to find the hidden mechanics.

Maybe with some tweaking, could work on mobile as well. Seems there is potential for that.
