Really cute game and the animations are fantastic (love the skid on landing). I feel like it will work really well as a mobile game. Just an idea, but it might add to it if there's a slight slowing down in time when you click to give you a chance to think about it (very slight even) that goes back to normal after releasing? Just a thought like I say :) Great game!

Amazing game. It looks and sounds very well, a little bit difficult, but perharps it the it purpose. I missed some button that indicates that you can jump, it would be easier to understand that get the purple fruits gives a extra jump (initially i thought that i get an extra jump on when I'm on a "hole area"). 

I found 2 bug.s (nothing that really impact the game) sometimes when you fall it's possible to see then end of tiles:



Other thing, If I dash horizontally on the first plataform of the first level I can enter on it (after you start Falling):


But it's a very good game. I think that if you published this on playstore anyone would think that was made on 7 days = )

Yeahhhh, so I didn't really account for "walls" when using a Tile-Palette Collider. I saw this happening and honestly didn't have the time to correct it. Having more levels just felt more important at the time. I'm not a good level designer so this process takes me a lot of time, but I'm working on getting better!

Also, thanks for your kind words and feedback! We definitely have plans to keep working on this and release is on mobile when we're happy with it.

Very pretty game and the movement mechanic is pretty unique. Sometimes when I land she falls anyway so there may need to be more testing but very good for a jam game.

Very cool mechanic and awesome how you can build up your momentum, which makes it a challenging run each time.

Developer

Thanks we will try to push the momentum mechanics even more!!

I love the concept and the game in general. Super hard but in a good way. My only gripe is it seems like about 1/3 of the time I make a vector, it doesn't register at all for some reason. I tried playing in full screen and that did not seem to help :(

Developer (1 edit)

There should be some visual feedback you can check out. The indicator color will go red when canceling, yellow when a dash in unavailable, and green when the dash can be done. The girl's dress is also purple when you can dash and grey when you cannot. There is also an input buffer for inputs that register within ~0.15s of an available dash. The character also cannot dash immediately after landing, you have a short recovery period first. Hopefully that helps a little!

ya I'm pretty sure it was when I supposed to be able to dash but I couldn't :( Like say, just walking along on the ground not having recently jumped

1/3 is an exaggeration. i did manage to pass level 3, so its not unplayable or anything. just frustrating

Cute game. Everything is so smooth.

cute game. I appreciate your easing/tweening on the camera and the ost is soothing. as far as gameplay, I'm not sure if I would have preferred if the direction vector for movement was just always next to the player sprite.

The music and the color scheme are so perfect for this game.  It was also pretty fun to play.  Nice job!

Submitted(+2)

This was really fun! The art is pretty nice, and the dash/jump mechanics are fun! Also, the concept with the fructophobia made me giggle a lot, I love that.

Also the music is so nice and chill, definitely my favorite part! I love it! 

Developer(+2)

Thank you so much 🥰 We had a blast making it. Glad you enjoyed it! Had other music in the works but couldn't finish it in time, so just made the one pleasant loop ❤️

Submitted(+2)

I had actually planned to write more music but ended up only managing the one polished off track.

I like the mechanics and the visuals :D  Good job!

it got me some time to understand how to build up speed and when to dash. Once you get it, it feels super rewarding dashing through those deadly pineapples. Very good job with the art in this short time & music is solid! Keep it up <333

The art and the animations ware really god, love it. The gameplay was really fun, but I got stuck in some parts. Great work :)

Developer

Appreciate the feedback, we just tried to make the game a bit more juicy and yeah we might have gotten ahead of ourselves to curve difficulty a bit too much :D

Submitted

I don't really enjoy the swiping mechanics tbh but its understandable because well.. the theme. Still I think the best part about the game was the art! It was really fresh and cute. Great job <3

Developer(+1)

Well, I hope you can cut us some slack on the swiping mechanic! If you don't like using a mouse, try it on your phone! It feels a lot better that way!

Very fun and challenging.
