All the artwork is great and well animated with that hand-drawn style. The cute umbrella bugs, and landing on the dude's head is a nice funny touch. I also think the incoming-droplet indicator was a great idea!\n\nFriendly constructive criticism; As other mentioned, would be nice to move up and down, although I understand why its just left and right for mobile design. I sometimes felt trapped by no fault of my own. Like yeah I moved into the spot I move into, but the sun just happened to appear as a bug was coming from the perfect angle to hit me. \n\nIt would feel like a unique shmup, where you play as a kawaii raindrop! I think that would get a lot of attention!\n\nI like the solar rays as a hazard, but I died a couple times not being sure if I was safe tank the hit crossing them (because I was trapped by a ray and a bug). Maybe some kind of warning when on low health would help (since it's hard to tell from the size of your raindrop). I think I also died from something invisible a couple times, do we slowly lose life over time?\n\nI think the transitions between menu-to-game are very abrupt, and would feel much more polished with some kind of curtain, or fade-out transition.\n\nOverall a good entry, good job!\n\n","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":685479,"author_name":"ksonyanya","author_uid":"ksonyanya","epoch":1619904250,"text":"Played this on the [stream](https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/videos\/1007202934?t=02h07m00s).

Flying bugs might be even a bit too cute to be considered a danger :)  \nThe only thing I found slightly frustrating is that I died a few times of water just evoparating without any enemies around and each time that was quite a surprise. Later I've noticed that the facial expression of the droplet changes, but I guess it is a bit too small so it took me a while to notice it.\nOverall, great job! :)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":696744,"author_name":"saintchristopher777","author_uid":"saintchristopher777","epoch":1620393469,"text":"Adorable game - love the artwork!
