Really fun game! You did well! :D

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Nice job ^-^ Wasn't expecting much at first, but the frog and crows transformation was super cool, and there's some real tension when you're running from the storm. Good work :D

Developer

Thanks for playing. Even as a Dev I feel tense when Horus turn on us, hehe

Submitted(+1)

It was fun, I was not expecting to get attacked, game turned a lot more fun in the storm phase, very well implemented theme, graphics are cool there are different bioms, transition of music between calm and storm is well made, and the game is fun overall, good job :D

Developer(+1)

I'm happy you had fun! The storm phase is where the fun begins, haha. Thanks for playing mate.

Cool game, very fun! I recognized Brackeys' tutorial, but I liked that you added so much stuff on your own, which made it feel like its own game. The two-phase gameplay is very fun. I would suggest adding more sound effects to make the game feel more responsive. Overall, a nice entry!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you had fun! Totally agree with you, it's lacking feedback to the player. Next time I'll make sure to keep an eye on the responsive part, thanks for you comment!

Nice game! I like that's it's simple and to the point. The level design was interesting with how there were platforms above and below. The second phase kinda creeped me out, maybe some music would've made it even more unsettling. 

Developer

Thanks for playing! I took a look just to make sure, and there's music in both phases. I think since all the other submissions left the audio maxed out, some people come to this one with low volume and end up not listening the music. Next time I'll implement some audio configuration, thanks for the feedback

Cool game, the pixel art used in this game is quite cute, also I really like when they change from good to bad, and you have to run away from them, amazing! :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Our Artist made a really good job on the enemies changes, I'm proud of that, thanks for the feedback

Submitted(+2)

I really liked the art and i am big fan of simple platform games with good mechanics! I loved Horus :(  I love crows :( But i was so scared at the second part for a while! Well done tho i really had fun ☺

I also worked really hard on my pixel art game, if you have time please take a look  ♥ https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973922

Developer

Thanks for you time!

Valentina has to train her pets better, haha. We got them(valentina and horus) from a dnd table our group used to play.

Just rated your game, you have a really good one, gj man!

Submitted(+1)

I like how you were able to re-use the level by having to go back to the start and now all the friendlies are baddies. The double jump also felt really smooth. I had fun in the beginning collecting the coins and then avoiding the bird and frogs

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your time! The jumping mechanics were one of the things we dedicated a lot of time, thanks for the feedback

Submitted(+1)

Really cool platform design, i guess the crow is called storm haha. the having to go back to the top at the end got me

Developer

Thanks for playing! Its name is Horus, haha, but its part of the storm

Submitted(+1)

The platforming was satisfying, and I liked how the frogs switched from normal frogs to monster-like!

Developer

Thanks for playing! About the frogs, that's on Logan(LBundyBTW) our great artist

Submitted(+2)

My favorite part was how the froggies got all serious.  Nice submission, very in theme.

Developer

Thanks for giving us a review in turn! Glad you enjoyed the danger frogs :)

Submitted(+1)

The platforming felt good. I didn't expect the crow to instantly kill, but it wasn't too frustrating. Thanks for making a cool game!

Developer

thanks for playing!

(+2)

The platforming is really fun! The game has a nice challenge,  especially liked the atmosphere with the storm and the crow. With a few tweaks to the feedback when taking damage, it would be even better, but it’s already a great experience!

Developer

Thanks for playing and taking the time to leave a comment and rating! You're totally right, should've taken more time dedicated to the feedback, thanks!

Submitted(+3)

simple but the platforming is fun! it'd be nice to add more gameplay feedback, I didnt notice I was getting damaged by the frogs at first, and didn't associate the crow with dying in the second part at first- thought it was the lightning instead (didn't read the tutorial haha oops)

Developer

Thanks for playing and I appreciate your comment. Gotta say the getting damaged feedback was one of my tasks that I failed to deliver in time, as a programmer. But the crow feedback totally passed our radar, thanks for your time!

Submitted(+2)

this is a very interesting take on the theme! great job:)

one thing is that dying is very punishing in the first level.

Developer

Thanks for your time, and great feedback! The player should at least keep the talismans when they die. I'll keep an eye on game balance

Astounding concept. I really love it. Now it's ur turn to Try & Rate us. Thank u

Developer

Thanks for plying!

Hey! 

I really liked the level design of this game. Also, I'm glad that I always play the tutorials, so I was able to see your foreshadowing and was prepared to dodge the crow's "attack" right in the end, oh how I was wrong...

The start of the second part really made me panic! :D I'm quite easy to scare, so "storm" was almost catching me!
The assets fit really well together, the way you've created your own game out of a Brackeys' tutorial is really smart.

Overall, this was a nice experience. Well done!

Developer(+2)

Thanks for the well written feedback! 

Gotta say I'm easy to scare too, and while playing it I feel pressured and afraid of the bird, haha

Submitted(+2)

This game took me right back to the classic arcade days, with its sweet and nostalgic charm. It’s both fun and heartwarming, successfully carrying the art and spirit of the past into the future. A delightful blend of old-school aesthetics with a modern twist!

Thanks for playing! I'm happy you had fun
