I didn't think I could both hate and love something so much. Extremely polished, addictive gameplay, and an excellent insight to true 1-bit visuals. However, if I said it didn't make me go bald and age exponentially I'd be lying.

Let's be real. This will probably be the winner. I feel like a 5/5 in all the boxes.

In my first run I started so careful and slow that the first enemies felt tough to me. In my second one I rushed it and it was really easy. I'd say maybe the first enemy encounter could be a little more gradual (1 spider instead of 3). But it works fine nevertheless.

cheers!

This is a game that you play because you get too frustrated to stop hahahaha you NEED to get to the top lol

I did get a couple of bugs, though. It appeared to happen when I faced two colliders too close to each other (like between the torch and the wall).

The game is very dynamic, with challenging obstacles combined with very responsive commands. One of the best of the jam.

This likes Flappy bird game but its quite more challenge. Personally I feel it pretty hard to control the bird. I would love to have extra 1 button to flip it to either left or right. Nice game and congratulation!

I don't typically play games like this, but it definitely grabbed my attention and kept me hooked for a while) Really enjoyed the music and overall vibe)

Incredible game, my favourite of the jam so far. The pixel art is really cute, dynamic music was excellent and really well balanced with the SFX which fit the game very well too.

The controls felt very responsive, movement felt tight and gameplay was overall executed very well! I also felt like the enemy placement was very well thought out, it was not too difficult but still satisfying to reach the top. Well done to everyone in your team!

P.S. I love the deep lore in the game description :D

I love how addicting it gets me. Beautiful music, art, gameplay mechanic and atmosphere. I have to admit how I easily get angry at this BUT I managed to beat this game.

The game is most excellent; I love the style and sound exceedingly! Though I may grow a little wroth, I cannot stay angry, for the bird is so delightful, and the thumbnail is truly magnificent.

Wow, such a fun experience!

This game has so much "juice", which makes it feel very fun to play, would love to see more with this idea!

Submitted

Really cool game, satisfyingly punishing and has very cute art, well done!

Submitted

Amazing game. It's so evil to fall down half the tower - I love it. My game is "similar" but it's the way down and uses 2 buttons. You managed one button - and a more "natural" penalty - well done!

Submitted

Hilarious yet heartbreaking. What a thrill.

Submitted

One of the most original games that I have played in a very long time. Excellent music, visuals, and interesting game play. Great job!

Submitted

I love your thumbnail the art looks super cute I still have to play thought but I just wanted to say that!
