Theme interpretation
I'd never heard the term "moonshot" before the UK government announced its demented mass-testing plan. And then Github announced the Game Off 2020 theme...

I lol'ed through the whole thing. The animation is perfect and the tone is refreshing. The character feels a little too slide-y though, and I think the levels could use a little more indication to the player about where platforms will be/not be. I also love the idea that "dominic-cummings" is now in the itch tag database.
Yeah good points, I think in future I won't spend 80% of my time iterating on the background.
They did look good tho...
Love the animation, you capture Boris perfectly
Hilarious concept and execution! As I can see I'm not the only one making jokes of UK's politics in my games (that's what I did for another jam)
I like the sound of your Bercow-inspired rhythm-action game (sadly I'm on a Mac).
Haha, too bad I don't have the project on my current computer, but I'll try to put a macos build if it's not too complicated
I have to say this is my favorite interpretation of the theme that I've seen. I only wish there were sound effects of boris saying inane things as he slaps masks on citizens.
haha thanks, yeah I had plans to include some Boris grunts, might be a quick win (compared with the planned epic boss battle with Dominic Cummings).
Is he wearing a mask these days? haha
nice background! Controls are okay!
