I really enjoyed playing, and I liked the comedy here and there.  I feel as if that you don't feel like you are climbing a mountain, though this doesn't effect the gameplay at all. Overall, I enjoyed it! Hope to see it as a fully fledged release :D

Oh, and if you could take the time to rate my game, it would mean the world to me, as I am only 11 and this is my 3rd game jam that I have entered.

i agree the music is hype. this is giving me flashbacks to making a directional combat game last year for the same jam in godot lol. fun to play ! gj

The music was straight fire. For some reason the character stopped animating and I became invincible for 2 of the main levels.

Hello! I've played your game on stream if you're interested to see a live playthrough of it :D https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1995012210?t=1h36m24s

All of my comments are in there, keep up the good work!

The game is cool, it's fun, although sometimes I've noticed that the jump is too big. It would be nice to have a bit more control; however, it's quite enjoyable to play. Great job ^^

I think key tutorial was a little too much. You put they keys in page, in game and that was already enough.
Instead of that part fixing the AI would be much better of time usage. Enemies were landing on top of my head and was killing me from there with no chance to shake them off.
Map part was good but I could not finish the game because could not pass Arena. Maybe game was also FPS bound but not sure I need to watch some game play footage.

Nice game!  I was Not expecting the perspective to change when leaving the village but it was welcome.  Very retro feel but with some smooth and fast movement. 

Really great game, great job! The running an jumping is so fun, I couldn't resist the temptation to just zip past the monsters without even stopping to fight them most of the time lol. And when I did fight them I kept getting those eyeball monsters stuck on my head, so I suppose I was better off just running away lol. 

Congratulations on the game

Good job on getting so much content in your game, also the music was great! Smart to include two sets of controls too, allowed me to play on my laptop without mouse although I did feel it was probably slightly easier with a mouse.

Everything feels pretty good! I would just suggest maybe adding some kind of transitions fx (including to the background melodies, which are very good)

I audibly chuckled when it switched to the overhead map view and Dale was a lizard or more of one than he normally is. Great work on making the Dale feel fast but not to the point of where I felt like I lost control of him. Sometime enemies would stand on my head and I wouldn't take damage but I saved the village! Great Work! 

You're literally my father. This is the most impressive game I've ever played. Thank you, and thank Dale. Will never forget this.

Loved the music and that Dale left those little signs for himself to remember how to play.  Finished the quest and it was fun.  Enjoyed the inclusion of the overhead map.

Cool little game! The music kicks butt, and the art style is nicely coherent. I loved the top-down movement on the map.

The combat was not challenging for me and the different attack directions were confusing at first (especially how the animations were not distinguishable enough). The jumping felt off initially but I got used to it and it made sense when platforming.

I liked the game, thanks for making it! :)

Charming game! I enjoyed the vibes of the music in the different areas & loved becoming a behemoth of a lizard when travelling through the valley!

The jump would sometimes just not activate, which was a bit frustrating, but overall the game was really fun!

Very charming game. Graphics are simple and yet they fit the game well. Music is top notch, liked how there was different music for different settings/screens.

I think you just about managed to meet the theme requirement with your Scaley Scaled down fellow Scaling a mountain too xD

For improvements, I'd say work on the Jump to make it feel more responsive. Felt like sometimes I would fall off the edge of a platform instead of jumping while running forwards. Some nice little SFX here and there would be good too.

Overall, nice submission. Good job!

I had fun reading through the story and dialogue! Great job!

I wish there were some special moves for platforming and combat to spice things up but it's okay as is.

I love the take on the theme and the music was super nice. I am apparently very bad at your game and died pretty much to every mob though lol. I think it's very impressive for a two-person team !
