I got an A. Cool mini-game. I like it!

Great job on finishing one team-member short!

I don't know if i understood the game. First time i thought i needed to collect everything. After the timer went to 0, the game slowed down and nothing happened. So i tried again after reading the instructions more carefully. This time i collected only the controllers, but the same thing happened when i reached the end of the timer. Am i playing it right?

I loved the particle-effects when you bump into stuff, looks great!

Well done!

I really enjoyed this game. I think it's funny how you are trying to cause procrastination instead of stop it, and the music is good as well. I got a D- as my score!

Thank you all for your kind words! Happy to hear you enjoyed playing.

@p0l4r On the end screen there should be a grade that pops up. I don't know how that could fail to happen, maybe it was just not very readable. In any case you should be able to just press space and it should restart. If that doesn't work I am absolutely clueless.

epic game, though it took my time to understand what I was supposed to do :((

Got a D-! I hope I distracted her quite much! Really good first submission and the graphics look good even with 1 person less. Nice job!

got an F on my second try, great application of the theme! a charming little game.

Really nice graphics and music. It's quite ironic because I am procrastinating studying to do this.

Clever use of the theme! I really liked the graphics as well - nicely done!

I got myself a D-, hek yeahhh. Its a very nice minigame!

I actually managed to get an A, lol.

I can't tell what grade I got - like @p0l4r said in their comment, after the deadline game just slows down and all you can do is start a new one. I have a guess that the result is showed on a progress-bar on the right. Is that right?
It would be nice to have different sounds when you bump into books and controllers
Anyways I had wonderful procrastination time, thank you :)

@aquata First off, thanks! Second, no, it should pop up as a giant letter in the middle of your screen and the background should get greyed out. Honestly I have no idea why it would do the slowing down part but not show you anything but still let you restart. Anyway glad you enjoyed it.

Really nice take on the theme and I like the devil on the shoulder concept. Very original! I really enjoy simple games like this and got pretty addicted since couldn't fail hard enough :( (lowest score was a D-) Nice variation and scaling in the difficulty too as the timer counts down. Feels balanced in that it isn't too hard to play but seems tricky to get the coveted F!

The way the devil's face also followed the character as well as the trident was a nice touch making the game feel more dynamic. Similarly, the particle effects were cool especially with the way they can be pushed around/explode in reaction to how they are hit. I would say that I found the score at the top quite difficult to see/read. The pixel font went nicely with the graphics but was hard to read on top of the pixel art especially at a glance whilst playing. Maybe just a solid underlay for that part might have been nice. Great job overall on the graphics though considering neither of you were supposed to be the artist!

The music fits nicely with the theme making it feel urgent and sound effects are always nice feedback. The pitch variation made it more dynamic and not annoying although I agree with @aquata in that different sounds for the books and controllers would have been nice since that would also give audio feedback on how well you're doing. If there wasn't time to make/source different sounds, you could maybe have done something like have the book sound effect pitch range be lower and the controllers be higher so you can use the same effect.

Overall, great job making a pretty nicely polished and complete game with two people! Had a lot of fun playing!

@teto Thanks for the kind words and the really helpful and detailed feedback! As for how addictive it is... Yeah we played for hours after uploading and did then occasionally get an F. First we got it way too easily but then balanced it to be a little harder.
We might honestly have managed to fit different sounds in there if we'd thought of it but the original idea was to make a lot more items so we essentially just saw them as one thing. Will keep that in mind though. Thanks again!

Hello! Pretty cool game.
