I liked the pixel art of the game a lot, and even though it was missing music, the jump sound effects as well as the wind sound effects made up for it entirely. It felt a bit hard to get any hikers to the checkpoints for extra life's though which made it feel much too difficult to complete the game, also when I did complete it, the ending felt a bit underwhelming for how hard the game was to finish.
Fun game
I don't know if there are any downsides. I think it is nice to have a bad movement because we are in mountain ?? I especially loved the idea and screaming to death. :D I can't beat the game for now but I will play again after Jam.
I like this game! Graphics are simple, but lights actually do their work to make it look nice) Sounds are funny, idea is interesting, fits the theme nicely!
I play on a 4k screen and it look hilarious.
The minimalist pixelart with the visual light effects really sets a mood.
LOL the pixels must be massive!
Sweet pixel art!
Atmosphere feels unique, lighting looks eyecatching, platformer mechanics challenging (or am I the only one who finds this game hard? Its one of that "you die you start all over" games but easier, because we are not alone.) sfx and music is nice. I havent finished the game but I will soon. Generally, really nice platformer!
You are not alone there lol I submitted the game without testing due to some time constraints took me several tries to beat. difficulty definitely a little harder than I intended
I really love the environment! The lighting is beautifully done!
Thanks, I've been working on lighting recently!
Cool concept ! Having to save people to get more lives was an interesting idea.
The simple pixelart was great and the mood and general and the voice overs for saving people was a nice touch.
Thank you!
I loved the graphics for this game. From the pixel art font, to the beautiful lighting, it was all so well rounded. Do you mind rating mine when you get a chance?
Thanks a lot!
Its a really nice small game :) Love the extreme pixel style on the visual front! sfx holds up great aswell. Very solid game.
Thanks! Tiny pixel art is my favorite!
Well done! I really like the way you light the game it makes it beautiful, the sound was funny in a good way.
Thank you! I love the splat sound lol (Not mine though they were from free sounds)
Beatiful graphic:) Not too obvious that white rocks is deadly and on the bridge dark wood boards is not for standing on them. On the rest - game is pretty fun to play:) (poor hikers)
Ye, I definitely agree showed someone else and they didn't realize the spikes were deadly nor that the bridge had holes. poor hikers...
I love every part of it. This is the only one so far that I am not deleting. The simple games that prioritize game feel and sound over graphics are the best in my opinion. Big thanks to the Developer for this wonderful treat.
Thank you so much!
We are immediately hooked on the design, I just have a problem... I think I like to see our little companions splashing more than saving them! :D
LOL I started to like hearing them splash...
I really like the super lowres pixel art, cool art style, my only complaint is that there didnt really seem to be a point is saving hikers because they pretty much just die instantly but other then that its pretty good
Yaaaaa.... I realized a little late that the core part of my game was kind of broken but oh well lol
Great game, easy to play.
Thanks, Glad you liked it!
Beatiful and yet simple atmosphere. Very fun and intuitive to play :)
Thank you!
