Really cute little game! I included it in my Buddy Up Jam: Winter 2022 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Really cool that you took the time to make a video about all the games. Thanks for playing! 🙌

The first thing I listen to when playing a game, is the music, and I absolutely enjoyed it. Fit the aesthetic so well. My only gripe with the game would be to do something with the background, as the light blue felt a bit too basic. Please, make more levels, introduce more mechanics, keep on going with Bert.

Developer

Thanks for playing, we are glad you enjoyed it! We totally agree on the background. Unfortunately, it was one of those things we just didn't really have time for so we kept it simple. There have been some talks about working on the game after the jam so lets see. 👌

Great game and perfect length.

What did you use for the screen wipe transitions? Is it just UI panel on a canvas or did you use a screen shader? I've been looking into screen wipes with shaders but Unity URP  changed the whole process. 

Anyways well done.

Hey, thanks for playing! The transition is a simple UI canvas animation. :)

The most iconic beetle character I've ever seen! Great job crafting such a fun platformer! Playing it was refreshing and really fun. I thought it was hilarious you're pushing dung xD great work to everyone on the team! Would love to see this turn into a full fledged beetle hero game with narrative ;p 4.5 dung piles out of 5!

Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words. Its Nice to see People enjoying it and enjoying Bert. I cannot confirm or deny anything yet, but talks have been made of making it into an "actual" game :D

This game is neat. Great sprite, great animation, Bert is both cute and cool design-wise. You guys did a great job pulling a good first impression, the main menu as a whole just looks great. Kinda a shame that I as a player couldn't see more of that gorgeous pixel art background while playing in this prototype :p. Interesting puzzle mechanics and great level designs overall.

Developer(+1)

It is nice to hear that you enjoyed the game. All the members of our team would describe themselves as programmers so its nice to hear that the art has also been appreciated. We can't take credit for the menu art though, that belongs to dubpixel and SiLena_ART. However, the character and the art used in the levels are originals from our team. Thanks for playing the game! :)

Ahh I see, I feel bad for making the joke about it. Anyways, kudos again for the well-thought level designs.

Developer(+1)

Haha, don't worry about it and thanks!

Super cute and fun, I liked that there were new challenges added each level with the weight and acid/lava pits! Very pleasing jumping noise too.

Yeah, we wanted to teach the mechanics gradually. It is nice to hear that they were appreciated. Thanks for playing! ☺️
