Cute idea. Really easy to understand.
I love that it's fast paced and you really can't win, only survive for longer. A great high score chaser.
Good job!
Best I could do was 19.98, getting lucky with a string of sticks before getting squished :D
You really nailed the theme with this one, although I thought Gary was a cockroach! 🤦♂️😅
Great job!
The art is very well produced, and the sounds are receptive.
But I found the use of items confusing, the only thing I understood what it does is wood.
I think a tutorial in the post about what each item does will help the user experience.
Congratulations!
But placing wood planks worked quite fine. Short & Fun. ^^
Anyway, great game and the mission to "stay alive for as long as possible even though life is suffering" is a vibe.
Solid entry. Thanks!
And it's very fit the theme!
