Very funny and entertaining scenario, I was curious to see how it will end, was not disappointed :D

Nice graphics and music too, the only negative feedback would be the same as FaFeDev and some others regarding the jumping. Other than that, awesome entry, I'd love to see more!

Really cool concept and realization! I liked how you're in just one level the whole time.

Some feedback too if you don't mind. The jumping made platforming feel a bit janky to be honest, specially when hitting the platforms.
Also the audio was lacking for some reason, and whatever music and sfx there was felt out of place in general. I'd assume it could be because of the time constraints tho.

Enjoyed the experience nonetheless!

Developer

Feedbacks are always welcome. Thank you! 🙇

This is so cool! I loved how you used the theme as the story, very relatable lol! And the end of the game was a perfect way to wrap it up XD

11/10 I really liked this game :)

Good game with very good graphics and cool music, theme is well respected but I don't really the jump. I think the gravity should be greater. It's still a really cool game and I love the concept.

Alright, made it to the end. This is pure gold. Couldn't stop playing just to know what the next f*** up would be. Worst thing is: they're all relatable. /Clap to the whole team. 

One thing if I'm extremely nit-picky is the way the physics work when you collide sideways with a platform while jumping up. This is noticeable to the platform at the very right where if you jump and press right at the same time, it should go high enough to reach the platform easily, but instead as soon as you touch it on the side the fox stops going up and falls immediately. Again, very, very minor issue, all the rest is everything and more you'd expect on a jam game.
