The charm in this is off the charts! I really hope you expand this into a larger game. As others have said, it's pretty frustrating but that's kinda the point, isn't it? I absolutely adore the SFX and music, and the shock collar is an interesting mechanic that has a ton of potential. Great work!

You can rate our game too, if you like ;-)

The sfx made me giggle. I'd agree with other reviewers that the lives count was frustrating.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I've now added the ability to add more lives!

This is surprisingly very charming! I love the gameplay as well, though I think a more forgiving game like having no lives counter would push me to really finish the game lol. The audio and art are a huge plus imo, really give it all personality.

Keep it up, the randomy screams are great!

I love the art style and audio! So charming. I kinda wish I had more lives since I die really fast (got sniped by that bullet at the beginning of level 3 for example)

I loved the game!

I found the game simple as a good game just be. Core mechanics working well making the experience easy and fun.
Next step: add more juiciness in the game. (screen shake, particles...).
I would prefer to have a death count instead of lives, because was traumatizing to achieve the level 3, die and come back since the beginning.

Best part is the music hahaha

Thanks! I had more planned but had to scrap them due to other things going on. Glad you liked it!

Hahaha, this game was the funniest thing ive played thus far. The notes and sound fx were hilarious. the actual idea of slowing down randomly is also a neat idea for out of control! Great Job!

Ahaha thank you!
