What was your favourite part of working on your game during GDM?
Using AI generated gfx and finally trying tile maps in Unity

What was the hardest part of creating your game?
My own lazyness

Did you use any pre-existing assets in your submission?
Most of the gfx was generated by AI, but the tileset and some icon was used (public domain). Music was done previously by me.

I liked how collecting the snowflakes was required yet still a trade off. Nice and simple game with chill music. good job.

perfect music i love it

Great game. The music is very relaxing and the graphics are good. But if you jump between the box on the left and the left side of the screen te player disappears. Anyway, great job.

This was a fun game! I only wished I could remap the controls so that movement would be with my left hand and jumping/mushroom manipulation would be my right hand. But it was an interesting idea and fun. Good job!

Developer

Thanks You for playing and the nice words. You can use WAD and space to play also - kind of what You want, right? But re-mapping the keys is something to keep in mind for future projects! :)

Sorry for the confusion. I meant A & D for movement and then something like [ & ] (or something over on the right side of the keyboard) for jump & Mushroom boost. My brain always tells me space is to jump, even when it's not. Haha! :) Space and Shift for jump and Mushroom boost would be pretty cool too. Anyway, fun game!

Pretty interesting that some of this was done by an AI. Kind of reminds me of some weird Nintendo DS download only kind of game.

Short, but sweet. The gameplay loop is fun enough, although the arrangement of platforms did feel weird at times. Audio is very pleasant.

Thank You for Your comments and kind words. The level dsign is not optimal but the platforms are supposed to give You a bit of a challenge jumping and using the mushrooms. Could be imprived and have more levels of course. :)

This was decently fun. I did have a bit of trouble with the mushrooms being somewhat inconsistent on their timing though. I see this was a test for using AI art and animations. I will say the game look fairly nice, but the style does feel a little mixed.  That's par for the course with AI art though.

Thanks for playing the game and for the feedback. As You say - the gfx is a bit mixed since it is picked from various sources, I am still pretty happy with the outcome. As for the mushrooms - they are a bit tricky and can only be "inflated" once they have fully come back to their original size but I can agree that it may feel a bit imprecise. Room for improvement, no doubt! :)
