This was a fun little platformer. I found it pretty difficult, I'm not very good at precision platformers so I didn't manage to see al of the game. This was based on Nerdy Teacher's platformer tutorial, right? It's a great tutorial, I've used it for a couple of my own games too. I liked the addition of wall jumping and double jump, and the feel of the character's movement was spot on. It didn't really adhere to the theme but was a fun game nonetheless. Great work :)

- This is a pretty fun platformer! Albeit, it didn't really adhere super strongly to the theme in the game itself, but it was fun! The green entities I assume are the AI controlled creatures, but read as zombies. However, I like me a metroidvania with varying skill level areas requiring precise platforming and this had that. This seems like the start of a good project I would like to see completed. Please do complete it or do something with this. It would make a great addition to the Pico8 catalog!
- Adherence to Theme and Creativity: 3 Yet again I do feel like we only have Robots because we needed them. The game is a find things and get out platformer nothing new, nothing bad. Gameplay Innovation and Enjoyment: 3 We have many staples of platformer games inside, but nothing that really stands out. Ice physics is a bit weird, multiple 1 high passages that are hardly passed and enemies dying only by touching are all what brings this otherwise nice game. Technical Execution and Presentation: 3 Touched already up with the technical part, presentation wise I'm fine with the game, other than the lack of background music. Overall it is a nice entry that could use some minor touchups.
- Nicely done. I like the 4 different zones for completing the game and that each one has its own challenges.
- A deceptively expansive platformer in dire need of sound effects and visual feedback. Doggonaut is cute! Would pet again!
