Really cool game! hilarious
the music is pretty awesome, it's so simple but it's inoffensive, nice,
the graphics are pretty nice. um.. the background could use more contrast. Just add some more darkness, ez. But it doesn't affect gameplay, just pointing it out.
It's hard... hitting the keys at the right time makes it quite challenging
Love the sound and blips! A game that relaxing and need a bit of skills!Really good job
Interesting, lot of mechanics there and pretty clean way they are working. Also, it's challenging as well. I liked it - great job!
I'll start by saying I really like the sprite for the main character. The animations were also cool like using the plunger for climbing. I also really like the idea of the game and the mechanics themselves are really interesting and unique. The music was nice too.
That said, I spent about 40 minutes before I decided that I had to take a break. The controls for the pipe jumps felt a little too frame perfect. It was fine when jumping to a safe platform but jumping to a water pipe or chaining pipe jumps together was just too difficult for me personally.
Having to stay perfectly still to use the water pipes was really frustrating as I had to pause for a second and then a split second later time a pipe jump. Often times the water took me too far or not far enough to even reach the jump having me repeat the same jump or often times get thrown back down to repeat a previous jump.
After returning from my break I came back refreshed and actually got a better hang of the pipe jumps. That said it still felt I needed to be near frame perfect and the water jumps were still a big luck based hurdle but I was able to finish the rest in about 10 minutes.
Despite the issues I really do hope the game get's further polished after the jam as despite the problems I really enjoyed the challenge and would love to play more!
Thanks for the feedback! Some of the stuff you've mentioned was more intentional as we wanted to make the game pretty difficult, but I can understand how some of the timing can be frustrating or feel too difficult. Again, thank you for the detailed feedback!
Nice game! It definitely requires some mechanics, but maybe it's just "skill issue" XD
Neat concept but landing some of the inputs seems needlessly hard. Maybe I just suck at this game lol.
A real simple but hard to master game with very original take on a.... "repair" man 😂
A plumber that surpasses Mario
Great game, really enjoyed the water boost mechanic and hitting the hollow pipes to jump further. the only thing a bit annoying is the controls, I would have loved it if I just had to press space again in the air to hit the pipes down as it's not really a button used for anything else in the air, besides that detail, very fun!
That's a new way to treat these theme, feels original and the mechanics are good. Nice work!
Thanks!
This was cool once I got the hang of the downwards swings to bounce on stuff. I love the details like using a plunger to climb the wall. This was really fun!
Thank you! Your game was also super fun!
Good concept with using water to move around.
The keyboard controls feels a bit clunky to me as I normally use my left hand for space bar. It is hard to do some of the combo moves because I am moving and jumping with the same hand. The hitboxes for some of the pipes also feel a bit unforgiving. With the pipes that you have to hit while falling, I need to hit it a lot sooner than I think I need to.
Thank you for your feedback! What would you suggest for an alternative button scheme?
Nice platformer. I loved the use of water blasts to shoot around, and the bouncing off the hollow pipes was a nice added challenge.
Very fun and nostalgic art as well. Loved it.

Thank you!
