I absolutely adore the illustrative visuals in this game! Screw the pixel mode, the artwork is perfect! My Mrs (not a gamer) would play this just for the art style! Really wonderful project, would love to see more of it :)
This is really kind, thank you so much! Haha I did the designs so especially lovely to read this :)
We hopefully will lengthen and polish the game post jam ...when we have a little bit more time on our hands!
Very charming graphics. I would play an even longer version of this game if yall ever make one. One thing I might change has to do with the section where you jump on the leaves. Since the collider doesn't fully line up to platform you jump off of, maybe add a bit of coyote time when the player leaves a platform.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the game. Yeah, we do have plans to make it longer and address all the feedback we've had. Thanks for pointing out the bad collision on the tree stump, it's something we'll definitely sort out in a future update.
Way too short! Which means I really liked it. The art is very well done and original. The jumping gave me a retro prince of persia feeling. Very well done both of you.
Whohoo really glad you managed to finish it and enjoyed it 🎉. Never really easy to tell if a game we make is too difficult or easy.
Really fun and creative. I like the animation and graphics.
Jumping mechanic feels like fighting in a dream though :D.
Thanks for your feedback, Aww man really sad you didn't enjoy the jumping mechanic. We'll be looking to improve this in the future. We'd love to contact you to get a bit more specific feedback on the jumping if you're up for that :)
Sure thing!
Great game! The concept is pretty simple but also very well executed. The graphics are cute looking and I really like them. I managed to finish the game after several tries. Nice job!
Congrats on finishing the game 🎉 it is a tough one. Glad you like the graphics and the execution, we've got loads of ideas to make the game better in the future.
fun game, able to finish the level. for Pixel mode, it reminds me of Prince of Persia from very long time ago.
Nice, ha we've had a lot of people say it reminds them of Prince of Persia which is great! I think going forward we'll try and tweak the jump animation to make it more unique to our character but it'll all depend on how much time we get 🤷
I loved this game, the main character is so amazing! I liked the movements, graphics and gameplay. I am looking forward to play more of this game in future releases! :3
Aww thanks, glad you like the game and especially the main character. My wife will be happy to hear that.
I really liked playing through this game :) I would have love if the camera would be more dynamic. For example, the initial chase from the ant, maybe the camera could have zoomed in and effects on the edges of the camera could appear to make the situation intense.
Thanks for your feedback, yeah that's a really good idea. Definitely something we'll look into when we get round to polishing the game.
This is pretty impressive! Reminds me of a lot of retro platformers that were popular on the NES back in the 90s. Great job on the graphics and animation!
Thanks that's really king of you. A lot of love and care went into the animations.
Love the art style and concept!
Thanks so much!
Great game, nice premise! I found this a great change of pace from all the bug smashing games, haha. I liked the realistic looking ants and the variety of different mushrooms throughout the world. It took me some time to understand how the jump works though.
Thanks so much for playing and commenting. We really enjoyed your game too, it's so good- best of luck!
Amazing art style, cool animations and lots of atmosphere. Great job!
Thanks so much! :)
Very nice idea, good execution. Can use some polish in parts. The insects all look really good and so does the main character and the environments. Nice variation in challenges too. Well done.
Ha yes we ran out of time for polishing unfortunately :) Thanks so much for playing and commenting, really appreciate your kind words!
Great game and art!
Yey- thank you!
Short but charming. Love the premise of the game and the graphics are beautiful. Personally, I preferred a more fast pace and responsive platformer, but I still have plenty of fun playing it!
Thanks so much... Glad you had fun playing:) We also really enjoyed your game, best of luck!
great game guys!
Aw thanks so much :)
I really enjoyed the creative ways of integrating all the different insects into the environment. It really felt like I was in their world. The first section with the ant was the most difficult for me because I couldn't seem to grab onto the mushroom. But otherwise it was a really great, immersive experience.
Thanks so much for taking the time to play and comment:) Ha yes we have realised the jump could be a little more responsive, thanks for persevering!
Really good! loved the assets!!
:) Thanks so much!!
Excellent artwork. The environment design is very natural.
Having a git repository available for this jam is cool because this game introduced me to tech I am not familiar with yet.
Nice, if you're referring to Haxe/HaxeFlixel I would highly recommend it. Such a nice game engine to use.
I completely agree! I had never heard of Haxe before, but now it looks like I have to add it to my list of things I want to learn.
beutiful art-style.
the insects concept and the animation are amazing, congratulations
Aw yey thanks! Animating the character and bugs for this jam was really fun:)
