I really liked the music and the graphics! :-)
The gameplay felt quite good and smooth as well.
Great pixel art and music.
Didn't like the fact that the player could die after one hit. But really liked the retro-platformer feel.
Good job!
Nice short platformer, I love the cute art and sound. I had hoped for a longer game, but that's fine. Good job!
Really nice platformer, I enjoyed playing it. The art is pretty cute.
Some thoughts:
1) I think the spikes should have a more contrasting color.
2) Even though the game is not that hard, I think you should have two hits per live instead of one.
3) I would love to see some animations! (like for the start of the boss battle, I think that could be cool but still small).
Congrats, great game!
Thank you so much for playing. We are glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for the suggestions. Definitely learning a lot from all the feedback.
Very cute. But it ended too soon!
We agree! Much too soon. Thank you for playing!
Such a cute game! The pixel art is wonderful. It controls well, and the levels aren't super difficult to get through. I'd love to see even more levels be added in the future!
Im so happy that you enjoyed it! Definitely wished we could of had more levels for you.
Beautiful pixel art and catchy music! Simple but a good foundation for a cool platformer. I would suggest to add some feedback while getting or receiving hits.
Well done!
We certainly agree! This was our first completed game thus far. Definitely a lot of learning curve. We will definitely make those hits more satisfying in the future. Thanks for your suggestion!
I had a great time playing your game, the art is cool, the gameplay is nice and the music is very good.
Good job, i loved it!
Thank you so much! This was a completely different and limited editing platform for us, from programming to music. We really appreciate your feedback!
Cool little game! Nice work and great to see some PICO-8 entries!
I do hope the enemies are killed with one shot rather than more than a few. It’s very unforgiving and I also don’t know if the bullet has hit it or not because bullets have a range and enemies don’t have feedback when hit.
Afterall nice work
Im going to have to agree with you. Definitely think it needs feedback there. Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm glad I stuck with this one. It's a charming little game. I'm not very good at K+M controls, so I'm glad I remembered gamepad support comes with PICO-8. Music and SFX are nice. Platforming worked well. All-in-all a good bite-sized experience.
Definitely easier to play with a controller. We are glad you enjoyed playing!
I really liked the art style. It was cute game that you played as a dino! Cool to see a PICO-8 game
Happy you enjoyed it!
"You lose, loser", haha, ouch! It's a little bit difficult at first but you get the hang of it after a while. I was able to beat it on my 3rd attempt. I like how well rounded the game is. The graphics are good and so is the music. I especially like how much detail went into the levels, from little cracks in different blocks to the flag and camera on the moon. That made me chuckle. I enjoyed playing this, well done!
Haha, yeah. The "You lose, loser" started as just a place holder for the losing screen. It made us laugh every time so we kept it. So glad you enjoyed it.
I really need to get on the PICO-8 bandwagon. So many cool little games come out of that thing. I really liked the amount of character you were able to get out of the animations. The art was very delightful.
I wish the eggs were more satisfying to pick up (they had one of the quietest SFX in the whole game).
Short, but pleasant and to-the-point. I also like all the little set pieces you added in - definitely gave me a few chuckles. Great game.
So glad you liked it! And I have to agree with you on the egg. Needs to be louder. PICO-8 was fun to develop with. I just jumped in because one of my favorite games is Celeste and the PICO-8 version is great.
I really liked that I felt in good control with the jump. Also liked that I needed to kinda spam the attack to get kills. It really made me feel more skilled than I probably am hahah. But anyways:
So happy that you liked it! Thank you for playing.
The platforming was really fun! Jumping was super satisfying although I kept accidentally trying to stomp on the enemies haha. Fun short experience, good game!
Thanks for playing! We're happy that you enjoyed it! We did spend some time trying to make the jump feel nice.
