Hello!

This is a simple dropper game in which you control a ball that is descending into virtual space. Navigate through windows using mouse and pilot the dropping ball using arrow keys / WSAD / D-PAD.

I ran out of time before I managed to add a victory screen (sorry). If you completed 2-3 tunnels and interacted with the upgrade window then you pretty much saw most of the content.

There might be an error on Firefox that prevents the game from loading a second time - can't do much about that :S

Closing notes:

Due to poor project management skills I ended up cutting a lot of content.

I really wanted to add mini-game like events that would pop up as you fall. Kinda like quick time events. That was the whole reason for having the game take place in separate windows.

And the whole "limited time" mechanic wasn't part of the original plan - it's a weak replacement for a proper damage system which was supposed to dislodge items attached to the player. But this like many other systems didn't make it to the final build.

I'm also very disappointed with how the level design came out - should have hand crafted the segments which compose levels, rather than procedurally generate everything. It seems that level design is that one thing which consistently I just can't get right.

Thanks for reading my post jam rambling - if you did - and have a nice day!
