I really like the squash and stretch in the player's jump animation.\nI think that the difficulty might scale better if it changed the duration of each wave as opposed to the number of balls. There were a few times that it seemed like there wasn't really any possible way to avoid anything, so maybe after some number of balls spawn there could be a delay between each next one?\nAnyway, it was very fun, definitely one of my favorites that I've played so far.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Tom\u00e1\u0161 Selmeci","author_uid":"1058363","time":"2017-12-04T10:18:46Z","epoch":1512382726,"modified":1512382726,"text":"This fits the theme so wel!!

You say you're new to Unity but you should check my game to see what's the difference between good news and bad news :P\n\nElse, about the game, I really liked the chiptunes, and the sound design in general : It's neat that you got an option menu to put the sounds effects lower. I'm just a little disappointed in the general rythm, it's personal tastes but I prefer when things are even more nervous, even if the game has a good difficulty raise :) Nice and efficient !","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nikchernyakov","author_uid":"1052829","time":"2017-12-04T18:46:24Z","epoch":1512413184,"modified":1512413184,"text":"When you got 6 health and after wave have only 2\n\n![Health hazard.png](\/\/\/raw\/d5e\/c\/z\/ba27.png)\n\n\nSo it is very interesting simple challanger with cute graphic.

Sure not much was done with the visuals so I can't rate it too high but the squishy animations and trail renders really made it stand out even though they are such simple things. Good work on that.\n\nAs for performance, we need to talk about that. It ran well, and that's too well. Either movement speed is timed to frame-rate, or your have it set wayyyy too high. It's a great game but it's one that needs fine control. If it was just too easy with slower movement speeds, make more red balls.|\n\nMusic was great too. I wasn't even expecting sound but I was pleasantly surprised.
