This is a very good game!
The narration is funny and well spoken.
The music is a banger.
The pixel art looks amazing.
The story is very funny.
The puzzles are a nice challenge.
(and I totally did not find a double jump glitch...)
anyway, very well made! :D
Double jump glitch, you mean respawn jumping? Respawn jumping is an intended feature! - Vin
I really enjoyed this, interesting take on a platformer puzzle game, reminded me of celeste. The narration gave it a funny twist reminding me of getting over it with Bennet Foddy. I felt the character could do with feeling less slippery, felt like I was platforming on ice at times, also, took me way too long to realise I could jump up / diagonally XD but once I worked it out it was interesting as a lot of platformers don't give you that level of freedom of controls, great job for a 5 day gamejam! Nice music too!
Hello! Just here to drop a comment for this game!
I enjoyed playing through this, you did a great job with the puzzles, some left me sat thinking for a few battling with my brain on how to solve them! The music and narration are phenomenal and the art neatly brings it all together, give yourselves a pat on the back because you deserve it!! :D
played like 20 minutes before getting softlocked and theres no reset button,
heres my thoughts:
very bad controls, the leniency for diagonal dashes or wall jumps are just awful, and half the time they dont even work, just wasting the powerup. the game is more of a platformer than a puzzle, every puzzle is skippable and just annoying to execute, needing to recollect powerups for another attempt. highly recommend not playing this game if you value your time!
That was needlessly harsh. An important part of Game Jam's is acknowledging people at varying levels of experience, why not be constructive instead?
Yeah lets not do this. This person had 4 ish days to make a game and could be from any level of experience. If you don't like a game, just move on. No need to leave an unhelpful and harsh comment. "If you value your time" as if people can't just click away if they don't enjoy it. Don't be the clown that rags on games made by hobbyists in 4 days, no one likes those sorta people.
It's fine ig
