The game felt so smooth. Though it was hard to control the roach,but I think with practice, I would be able to handle it.

Really loved the concept and the graphics are awesome, but the controls ruin it for me. I had a hard time trying to manage the tilting and not colliding with anything. Maybe a bit of mercy with collisions would alleviate this. Good job anyway, great to see so many Godot entries this jam.

Good game.  Graphics look great and nice subtle background music.  Game's physics run as smooth as butter.  It's a difficult game but fun to play.  Will add this to my collection to go back to.

For what it is, It's an idea that has potential. Also it's well executed. The controls feel just a little bit more sloppy than they should. You could just add a little bit more drag to the player and it would feel great. Else Good Job! The art is really good btw. Nice designs.

Very good art!
The controls were rather difficult, Id put this game under the "hard to master" genre haha
Nice game :D

Very cool theme interpretation, I love the art and the calm vibe with the different tunes transitions. Really nice touch letting the player to customize the character, wizard hat!

Quite challenging to grasp the controls but still enjoyable.

Good job!

I swear that I tried more than 20 times to get the first flag but evidently I'm not good at it :-)

Very nice music and graphics!

Very nice art.  I had never heard the term Jook but it clearly is a cockroach.  I wish I was better at this type of physics game - I can never handle the extra degree of freedom from the rotation.  Nice work on your game.

If you like platformers, please try our game - Lumi and the Dark Night.

Fun game, reminds me of a game from an old website called Funorb where you navigate a spaceship around tunnels and space mountains using very similar controls. Congrats the physics were very impressive!

Cute! But the controls felt more infuriating rather than hard to master.

Really nice game! I love the art and the animations. The movement feels good but the first level is a bit hard.

The graphics are very impressive. Judging from the screenshots you made different levels in different styles. Unfortunately I couldn't get past the first level, I need more practice. Maybe make the first level a little easier so you really draw in the player.

Nice game, very challenging!

The flags are placed a bit weird though. I already reached the "2nd level" (after sewer), touched something and my bug walked all the way back to start, even though I passed two flags at that time by flying over them. That was really frustrating. I did expect it walks back to the flag that I already passed.

Really liked seeing your reaction, hoping to see you trying to finish the game =]

Really wonderful art and challenging gameplay! The main character achieves being both cute and unsettling, giving me flashbacks to finding real "waterbugs" as we call them here. Walking back to the checkpoints is an interesting mechanic that I haven't seen for this type of game, it leads to some fun level designs.

Beautifully rendered graphics, very cute animations! In terms of gameplay it was pretty satisfying  but it took me a while to get a hang of the controls.

Wow, the level of polish is impressive for a one-month jam, there is even a customization menu and a intro video !

I would say that the blue boost is a bit annoying because it makes the controls even more unpredictable (or did I misunderstood something ?).

Good job !

Nice Job! Very challenging and addictive.

Nice game! I must say though the controls are tough ahah!
