Incredible graphics, top tier stuff here. Loved the parallax, the outlining, the snappiness, the tumbling animation, the effects, super solid visual package throughout.

However, the gameplay was too frustrating, for my taste at least. I simply couldn't judge well enough whether or not any given jump would "stick" the landing. This lead to me falling and repeating sections over and over and well, I guess that just isn't too fun for me. However, I think I already know the "rage" or "precision" platformer isn't really my genre, so I offer this with a hearty grain of salt.

I also really enjoyed the silly introduction to the world and the introduction of the Stakes. I for one would not want to face an army of shiny-domed bald men. No thank you. Those men have nothing to lose

Developer

Great comment! The ending is too funny.
We are working on the learning curve for the initial levels. It's too frustrating now

Quality game! Though I don’t know if I’d bring boxing gloves for scaling the inside of a slippery silo xD

I’m sure it will generate a few extra bald people.

Just like the top of the hero’s head, this was very polished and clean!

Developer

hahahahaha Thanks!!!!

Nice job! The art was really cool and the mechanics were very solid. I'll be excited to see what you continue adding to the game!

Developer

Thanks you very much!!!

This is a well polished game for a 1 month jam. Theme interpretation was excellent! I do hope you guys can manage to release it on steam!

Developer

Thank you very much! We're actively addressing certain issues, striving to enhance the overall gaming experience, and planning to release the game on Steam. Your feedback and support means a lot to us!

Very cool game. I love the art and the mechanic. The sound effect is amazing too. I just hope you change the dialog system a little bit so when you click while the dialog is on, it would finish the current sentence rather than going to the next sentence.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!!

We will include this dialog's changes in the roadmap!

Cool movement mechanic, the graphics are great as well. It’s pretty tricky, but I appreciate the arrows forecasting where you’ll shoot to upon release. Nicely done!

Developer

Really well done! I think this kind of game isn't for me but I think you nailed the rage platformer vibe

Developer

Thanks!!

The game feels very polished and well-made. I have to admit that I'm not skilled enough to climb to the top but I enjoyed playing. I like environment design and animations a lot. The story is weird but funny.

Great job! Good luck for your team!

Developer

hahah thank you!!

Veo por otros comentarios que sois de Argentina, yo también comento en español. Me encantó el juego, muy divertido, me costó controlarlo al principio pero está muy conseguido, a ver cuando sale para el móvil que quiero jugarlo ahí tambien. Buen trabajo!

Developer

Muchas gracias!!
En cuanto podamos, lo vamos a publicar, tenemos que cerrarle algunas cosas.

This game has great energy - no one expects the bald incursion. :)

Loved the art style on display here. Overall darker tone to the game was pretty consistent across the board, but will clear enough to distinguish everything that you needed to. Liked the effects on the directional indicator, and subtle effects like the screen shaking a bit whenever landing or colliding with a wall. Definitely made the game feel more alive. Character animations and menuing were also quite good.

For a few things that I felt could be improved - the speech audio effect was a bit grating; I get the general vibe that you were going for there, but I think after my fifth time listening to it from the vagrant was when I had to turn it down. I'm also not sure what the purpose of the text that pops up on collision is - it seemed like it may have been done for some comic-book style flavor; in that scenario, I think it makes sense to include, but maybe not on every collision event.

Overall a very solid game, well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing and providing feedback!

Certainly, we will adjust the audio.

I have yours pending to play!

He visto en Twitter que erais de Argentina así que aprovecho para comentar en Español, y me evito el comentario en Ingles jaja


Aunque tiene ese aire Jump King esa vuelta en las mecánicas le da otro rollo, es super entretenido(cada vez que te caes apetece superar la marca anterior xD), muy guay en general, además que el dibujo es una barbaridad y los sonidos cuando saltas, te caes... Esta muy redondo el juego muy buen trabajo la verdad^^

Great visuals, audio and gameplay. I suck at rage games an only barely made it out of the pit. Great Work! 

Developer

hahahah thanks!!

The art is really great. I like the core of the game as well, I think the difficulty couldve been more gradually increased tho instead of being very hard from the start. Overall great work tho

Developer

Thanks!!

So hard!!! I'm definitely coming back to play this later. Funny story, great art, easy to use (but difficult to master) controls, great experience overall! Fantastic work.

Developer

Thanks you very much!!
