Great game. I really enjoyed the level design. Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thx!

Submitted

I enjoyed this one a lot! Simple enough to have a good time and the proper amount of complexity to make you think and keep you entertained. I would add something that tells you that you can double-jump (or maybe i missed it)

Developer(+1)

I will add it, thx!

Hallo,

Thank you for sharing your game. I’ve already saved its RATING;

1. verified: GAME due to observed to appear multiple times in SUBMISSIONS List; adds: noticeable pixel art drawing technique; adds: read on GAME’s page, “I’m still working on it! So don't expect much!”; keyphrase: text dialogue as that in “You’re the Boss” and “Your princess is in Another Castle!”

2. observed: background music and sound effects to appear to be a modern version of RETRO Family Computer/GameBoyColor games

3. remembers: from color combination used in MAIN GAME, another GAME OFF 2022 entry, “Moving the Golfpost”; keyphrase: light-hearted

4. observed: in MAIN GAME, LEVELS have noticeable variation in difficulty; observed: self to press UP, instead of DOWN to open the DOOR; observed: self to continue until MAIN character became stuck at a location, where character can NOT anymore jump out, without reloading the webpage to restart the MAIN GAME; remembers: MINECRAFT (PS3) to also have such OUTPUTS due to select PLAYER ACTIONS



Thank you. Health!

Developer

Yes, thx, i fixed it!

great game!  the art is good and the controls are tight and responsive, the mechanics is simple and the gameplay is a challenging puzzle platformer, this has good replay value, overall I enjoyed playing, keep it up!

Developer

Thx!

Killer thumbnail and art! The game was fun and the jumping mechanics remind me a lot of I Wanna Be the Guy/I Wanna Be the Boshy. Would have loved for there to be more levels. Good job!

Developer

Working on it! Thx!

Submitted

Fun and short. Definitely could benefit from some audio and a bunch more levels. 

Developer

Working on it! Thx!

Cute little game :). Its a bit easy but fun after all. 

Developer

Thx!

A short, fun game with good graphics. Too bad there are no sounds, it would be more fun with them!

Developer

Working on it! Thx!

Very beautiful Art. I very like the idea with teleport holes. If you add some levels and sounds it's be very cool game. I'll be wait full version your game

Developer

Working on it! Thx!

Cute graphics and smooth gameplay  - would have been even better with some sfx/audio :)

Developer

Working on it! Thx!

Submitted

The game is very fun so far. I just need more level :))

Developer

Working on it! Thx!

Very cute duck, and the levels are quite colorful and nice to look at. The level design was pretty good as well, did leave me wanting for some more levels which is a good thing. As others have mentioned some more sfx/music would improve the feel of the game by a lot, but this is a great base for creating more interesting levels so well done :)

Like the platforming and the pixel art! Was a little short though.

Developer

Working on it! Thx!

Submitted

Enjoyed the platforming! Solid level design and enjoyed being able to double jump on the side of cliffs. A bit short but it's a game jam after all :) good work!

Developer

Thx! After hearing that people like this game I am now thinking about developing it farther!

Submitted

Cute little game! I'd love to see some story and audio to go with it.

Developer

Ok, will do! Thx!

Submitted

The art style is cute, although it could do with more levels. Also the sideways teleporting doesn't seem to work on level 2!

Developer

Thx! I wanted to work on the sideways teleporter for level 2 but forgot it!

Submitted

I liked the cute artstyle! It would be nice to add some silly sound effects and maybe a variable jump(jump higher if you keep the jump button pressed)

Developer

Sound effects comming up! Thx for review!

Submitted

Nice art!

The teleport mechanic is good, maybe it could be expanded for additional puzzle elements, if you keep developing the game.

The controls feel a bit floaty and the spike colliders feel slightly too big, but overall the game plays pretty well.

Developer

Thx! Also now working with spikes because the collider is bigger than it must be.

Submitted

Fun little game! Cute artstyle.

Hitboxes felt a little unfair at times but definitely a fun experience

Developer

Thx! Im not working to make it feel fair! Thx!
