Difficult, but fun game. Would love to see even more levels. The controls were a bit too fluid for me, making it difficult to get the jumps right. I was only able to save 3 goos.

Developer

Thanks for feedback! If you have the time, could you try and describe how the controls "were a bit too fluid"? If you felt they should be tighter, with less sliding, or perhaps more predictable jump height? (jumping against a wall have friction, this I have fixed in my post jam version)

I understand “fluid” is a bit ambiguous. I’ll try to be more specific. The opinions I write are merely my own, and the way I feel when playing. It does not mean what I say is correct by any means, so please take it with a grain of salt.

  1. The response it takes for the player to move when we click the arrows is a bit slow. It takes some time before the player get to full speed. Some more acceleration would help.
  2. The player glides a little too much for my taste when I want to suddenly move the opposite way. This is especially true when the player is mid-air.
  3. I thought I could climb the ladder if I kept holding the up arrow, but it didn’t work when I was moving forward at the same time (I had to release the left/right arrow to be able to climb the ladder.) I think this was the reason I wasn’t able to get the jumps right.

Thank you, perfect.

Got em all 5! Had lot of fun, I really enjoy the little physics at works there I saved one tiny guy by headbutting the ball and then it felt on the head of the one below :(. With more levels it would be cool to see how it evolve!

Developer

Alright! Did you juice them and finish the level? If so, out of curiosity what time did you get?

Submitted

Oh if you finish the game the scoreboard tells your previus best, cool feature. I got  18.728 second!

Fun game. It's a shame you didn't have more time to add more level. Having to choose which goos to save felt a bit like the Trolley Problem :)

Developer

Thanks for testing! (it is possible to get em all, but a bit of trolley feeling is not bad for the theme haha)
