Pressure Penalty

dope jam game! and respect for making so much, I really need to step it up.

//

I loved the tight, responsive controls, the lovely visuals and the theme/presentation. I immediately understood what I had to do with the element spawn-ins, even if I didn't immediately understand what the timer/death zone was (until I died on it - then I did. and thought - clever!)

I found myself avoiding the powerups since avoiding the deathzone was such an immediate need. I also had an "aw, really?" or "aw, not fair!" on dying on the smallest contact with the zone. I found myself wishing for other layouts beyond the circular one, even if it was super-understandable for me. (designer-brain: maybe I wanted to be able to "skillshot" to solve a level perfectly, or have some kind of high-skill, high-feedback single action? or that in the lack of one, my brain expected "levels". just a shot in the dark - I'm not sure why I had that reflex)

ps. the pixel art prac stuff is working out. simple, understandable to read, but nice to look at!!

The music on this game is very cool, like the mechanics and the progression. Would love to have a continue features T_T
