It took me so long to realize how I can activate the cheat codes! I pressed o and then escape, and then you couldn't press the buttons anymore, for whatever reason! xd

The game is really cool tho. I loved the Gameboy picture at the start, and the idea with the cheat codes :) That's really creative, good job!

Developer

Press O to activate the panel then select the code with the cursor.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Your game is very creative. It took me some time to figuer out what to do tho. But I still really enjoyed it :)

Thanks. Enjoyed your game too. Love the level design :)

Hahaha it took me waaay too long to figure out that you don't enter the cheat codes by pressing numbers, I kept thinking I just wasn't entering them fast enough before the ghost got me! Might actually be kinda fun to explore that way too? Still super fun and played all the way through :-)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. The game will definitely be update after the game jam. Really enjoyed your game too :-)

Thanks. Your game is also good but there are areas for improvement. Overall really enjoyed it :)

man, i had some fun, but something the ghosts JUST KILL ME AND I CANT MOVE WTF hahahaha, the menu with letter O and the necessity to press the key with the mouse made it some bad, but in general i liked

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks. Enjoyed your game too. Nice graphics :)

Submitted

That was a lot of fun. I wish it were a little easier to activate the cheats without having to use the mouse, it felt like it required some pretty tight timing at times to get the cheats enabled that I wanted without getting bopped by a ghost first.

Developer

Love the cocept of splattring the walls with spots to reveal the map. Haven't seen this in any other game :)

Submitted

You did an amazing job here! I love the pixel art style of your game.

I would love you to play and rate my game too ^_^

Developer

Cool game. Really enjoyed it.

Submitted

I beat the game without your skip level code! I used the ultra jump into no target and felt like a badass. Twice!

I thought the levels were cute that they each required a different code.

Yeah. Cool game. Title was kind of a lie though...

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks :) The title is not true. It is what they want us to believe.

Nice game. A lot of fun :)

Submitted

How do I activate the codes?

Developer

Press O

Submitted

I type in the numbers or click them when the O menu comes up, but I still die hehe

Developer (2 edits) (+1)

Press O to open the panel. The codes are buttons. You do not have to enter them. Just press them :)

Submitted

(Update that I got to play it, thanks to your hint!) I love the graphics. I'm terrible at games, so having a cheat menu is great.

My only comment is, the enemies are placed too close to the start of the level, so sometimes I had to restart a couple of times before I can see what's happening.

But the game's concept is cool. It was fun trying out the different codes. I can see it having more random effects (like everythingburns, or 100enemies) just to mess with the player. :D

Awesome game. Love the art style :)
