little guy was built different. When I realized I’d have to go through the sawblade traps for the second time I felt dread.

- The art is phenomenal, but it felt like the gameplay was an afterthought
- Best art hands-down. Movement is a bit crusty and a bit frustrating as a result
What do you like about your game?
i really enjoyed making the art! also it was my first time making a web game, remiinded me of the good ol days of flash games

this game was absolutely gorgeous on an artistic level and surprised me with how fun it was as well! loved every second of playing it!! bravo!
From the moment I saw the artwork I was blown away! The visuals alone definitely sell this game for me!
Good luck with the jam!
wow blown away by this. Very charming game despite the art style! Very thoughtful level design too. Very fun gam!
Nice art! It's cute in a odd way ( or odd in a cute way?)
Just hope the movement can be a bit faster.
I enjoyed the vibe a lot.
Really cool take on the theme. I like the way you use 'aberration' in two ways - first the characters themselves, which are superficially sort of gross xD (especially the 'queen' thing at the base of the pit, that freaked the hell out of me!), and secondly with the idea of being forced to follow an alternative life path. A genuine moral in an otherwise disturbing world.
Also, when she did this... like it was a normal mode of transportation... that horrified me just a little :D
Nice work!
The aesthetic reminds me strangely of Oddworld, really cool art and lots of unique set pieces which is so cool, every screen is unique. I liked the ending a lot, not what I expected to happen. Great work here.
Was about to comment here that I have a bug that space bar isn't working LMAOO
Pretty nice game idea, very cursed visuals and music which fit the theme well. loved the cursed cats and the white dude, and the "falling upside down" was really funny :D.
I would say the thing that bothered me most was that the hitboxes were a bit iffy. Sometimes the sprites of the character and obstacles don't even overlap at all and you still die.
Another thing is that flying up when you are on a moving platform doesn't really make you fly, which kinda makes the controls inconsistent and hard to control
Also some extra sound effects here and there could have helped it become more spooky.
Good job!
I liked the art and visuals but i could'nt play it for more than 2 seconds because i was stuck and could'nt jump ( Space bar is not working )
Absolutely gorgeous your thumbnail art made me feel like I couldn't miss this one. Very cute premise I love the idea of exploring the abyss that usually kills you in a platformer. I was a bit sad bc I think the creature at the end does something very cool opening it's mouth but I only got to see a flash of it before it vanished maybe cos I was playing on browser. Then re-exploring the same level from a new context was fun and interesting as well. Falling up felt a bit wonky to control but I think that added to the charm. Definitely a favourite of mine so far. Keep it up!
Beautiful game but I didn't went far in it: the key space seems not working. So I was stuck very quicly 😭 (Mac OS + Chrome)
super cool. reminds me a bit of the "i'm sorry jon" garfield art.
was kinda hoping i could get revenge on the blue cats.
I like the art style that's cute but also the dark part. I'm playing it well.
The art was so good. Each level down felt more terrifying than the last. I wasn't ready for everything to get flipped on its head but I loved it!
