Short and sweet.
It's a pretty neat platformer, and good for casual playing. I also like how you added the dialogues to give your hunting a sense of purpose, nice touch! The only slight problem I had was platforming in the forest stage, but I was able to figure it out soon enough. Good game!
Thank you for playing and rating! I'm glad you liked it!
Awesome little collecting platformer, it feels really polished with all the efforts on details like the intro / tutorial and the screen transitions. Catching the bugs is perhaps a little bit too easy, you can spam and run like a maniac but overall i had fun ! Nice work !
Thank you for playing our game and the informative feedback! I'm glad you had fun, and yeah the catching mechanic could be a bit more balanced with perhaps a cool down to prevent spamming as you brought up.
Fun game! Graphics and audio are nice. I couldn't figure out how to get to the tops of the trees on the forest level, but that's not your fault :P.
I kind of like how you don't take damage when touching bugs, but at the same time there's no incentive to be careful in platforming. Tricky tradeoff, but in the end I think you made the right move.
Biggest complaint is the collection of bugs is a tad wonky sometimes.
Overall, nice work!
Thanks for playing our game and glad you enjoyed it! For the bugs doing damage, we actually had discussed that as a possible feature. Unfortunately, time ran out and we didn't want to add things without polishing the rest of the game. We will work on fixing the bug catching in the future. Thanks again for the detailed review!
Thank you for your feedback and playing!
A really beautiful game! I only tried the web version, but when Jo Hopper goes all the way right or left dissapears from the screen and falls down from the platforms while not visible.
Thank you for playing our game! About Jo disappearing at the edges, in the web version did you play fullscreen? From my experience, playing it windowed has the camera cut off the boundaries of the level.
Unfortunately, the web version cuts off on some screens (mine included). But thank you for playing!
A very cute game! I love the artstyle, though the animations are a little wonky. The story was really fun, and the music and sound effects were all perfect!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game! The animation transitions have been a common complaint and I hope to be able to fix that soon enough. The update won't be submitted for the game jam of course aha
Making it cute was my personal goal, and I'm glad you like the music!
I'm glad you liked the 2nd level's design! The idea of tree branches as platforms came from our artist, and the Grace Hopper pun came from our musician. Thanks for playing our game and glad you enjoyed it!
We wanted each level to look specific with its theme, I'm glad you liked it!
Very fun game! I really liked the art style of the game. The hitboxes on the bugs were a little weird, but other than that, the game was well made and fun!
Thank you for playing our game and giving feedback! We'll try and fix the collision system with the bugs and catching sometime in the future.
I'm glad you like the art! Thanks for playing!
I really liked the music and art!
The bug catching was a little inconsistent at times, but it was a nice short, fun experience.
Nice work!
Glad to hear you enjoyed our game and thanks for your feedback!
Thank you for playing!
Beautiful level design and nice music. A casual short of addicting game.
Thank you! We wanted to keep it pretty fun and casual.
Might be better if we could punch other objects around and have fun with them
Thanks for your feedback, we'll take that into account!
Moving objects wasn't a mechanic we were focusing on, but it's an idea!
That's great! Also the physics are strange a little bi
We just played and enjoyed this game so much- great job team! Excellent work from the designs to the gameplay and music:)
Thank you! We're glad you liked our game alot!
Teamwork makes the dreamwork, thanks for playing!
So cute and peaceful. Nice tricky level layout. Short but sweet.
It was a team effort, glad you liked it!
The pixel art was awesome I loved the style a lot.
I'm new to doing pixel art, so I'm happy you like it!
The style is very cool
Thanks! It was fun to make!
The graphics are pretty cute! I like the protagonist!
Thanks! Glad to hear you liked it!
Thank you! It was a new art style I was trying out.
A quaint little playthrough! I'd love to see more levels explored and expanded for me to dive into!
Glad you enjoyed playing! There were more levels planned, but we wanted to focus on a good playthrough.
The graphics, mood and music are all fantastic here. The theme is very clearly addressed. Jumping is a little floaty, but I loved everything else about this ♥
Great work!
Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed our game!
Glad everything came together for a fun game to play!
Nice game, the concept of bugs is really prominent, and the art style and audio is great. Some things that can be improved on could be to have more reactive controls. It took me a while of spamming the space bar to realise the hitbox to catch bugs is only on the net. The player controls are slightly finicky. But other than that, the game is pretty good. Well done!
I'm glad to hear you liked the game, but sorry about the controls. When you say that the controls are finicky, are you specifically talking about the catching, or is there actual lag when it comes to doing the other actions?
To me it felt a little finicky it was due to some actual lag in the controls so it wasn't as responsive as I would have liked.
I see, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll run some tests of my own and figure out what's the cause of that. Thank you for your feedback!
Thanks! The bugs were fun to design.
this was alot of fun!, create intro scene plus that music is fire
Glad to hear you had fun!
Glad you liked it!
Great game with cool music and nice art=) Sometimes game doesn't detect hit. Maybe you could make bug collider a little bit bigger?
Thank you for your feedback, and glad you enjoyed our game! I'll definitely work on that collider issue. I had coded it so that the player has to precisely catch the bugs but you're right, it looks like it wiffs the bugs.
Thanks for playing!
