Great Game! I got stuck in a bush once, and it would happen to the ninjas sometimes too, but other than that, it was a super fun polished experience. Loved the artstyle.

Oh ok. Something totally went wrong here.
When I read your text it took me about five minutes to get what you were refering to.
Now that I got it, I see its about my bad drawing skills. I didn't mean the goat to look mentally disabled, it should look like a silly person who is always making fun and can't hold still vor a sec. But I think you have a point here that it could easily be mistaken :( Big apology for that.
You know as it is a jam we had not much time, especially for the intro. Next time we will be more sensitive. Thank you for your feedback.
It's no problem, just something that you should keep in mind for next time working on a game.
I believe I'm probably right in the fact that it's a cultural thing, lots of places it's still seemingly acceptable to make jokes like that for some reason, and probably it wasn't meant as an insult to anyone at all but was just an unfortunate accidental implication, that would only be noticed by people who have been bullied for years by bigots using insults like that (meaningfully).
But using the word "special" to describe someone in an obvious undertone (set by the picture), is similar to referring to someone with a very offensive R word. Maybe you saw it as a joke and it's probable that you didn't see it as more than some kind of humor. But to some people, racism and homophobia are also attempts at "humor", which usually lead to them being blocked by most people, whereas it hasn't gotten to a point that as many people know as much about the negative sides of ableism.
I think the game was very well presented, I loved the graphics and enjoyed the music, and I would have continued to play it had I not managed to get myself stuck really early. I think it's really cool that you went to the effort to make an intro too. I think that aside from this one issue, it was the best game, game play wise I have played in the jam so far.
It just happened to be that I'm somebody who would be really upset by jokes like that. I'm really sorry to bring negativity to your game, especially after you left me a nice comment. But scrolling through the comments seeing people applauding the "humor", makes me worry about the amount of people that don't understand how hurtful words like that can be to some people.
The art is Great and this game is very creative and fun overall, a bit hard to control thought, I also clipped out of the map while fighting the boss, cheers!3 years ago(+1)
Yeah we had some problems with the dash-function, but ran out of time to fix it xD
Thanks for the comment!
