Fun,Great game with amazing retro game.
Fun, simple gameplay with a nice retro style. Like some others, I found the layout of some of the jumps to be frustrating at times, but it's a fine line between challenging and frustrating and is a personal preference. I didn't hear any sound or music, was that just me? But overall a very cool little platformer. Well done!
I’m pretty sure if this had come out on the OG Gameboy, we’d be talking about it.
Loved the aesthetics, and the main game loop is pretty tight. Some jumps get kind of annoying if you miss them, but that’s just level design and can always be revised.
I think you’ve got a good solid base here, add 9 more levels for a world and make 5 worlds and this would be a solid release for mobile, Switch or even Playdate. If you don’t know Playmate, I’d recommend googling it, it’s a portable game console with a crank on it that might be a good match for this kind of gameplay and art style.
Ahh this is fun and it reminds me of kind of a 2D Marble Madness. Ooh but it can get frustrating when you get mad at yourself for not being able to hit the jumps or stop yourself in time to not fall off a ledge. But that's a hallmark of good gameplay! Well done on this one!
Nice game, I liked the rolling face!
Very challenging game with tight platforming. Graphics are really neat and it feels like something you would find on the original Gameboy. I died to the spikes a lot but even so, Great work!
Really nice game! This is usually not my kind of game, since I'm really bad at precision games, but I really enjoyed this game :)
Really like this! The artwork made it look like a Game Boy game, albeit with a nicer frame rate! The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly, found myself struggling a lot with the hedgehogs on the platforms, but the controls are really responsive and I love that it's physics-based, it gives it a real weightiness.
Great work!
You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
Is it intended that there is a delay in jumping when colliding with platforms? Or is it because a coroutine is used?
It's good to let the player figures out the way to proceed by themselves, but the punishment is too grim.
The game is well challenging, and it wouldn't also mean fun for someone.
Graphics are nice, challenging but after a few tries I managed to finish it in 5:30 :)
Good job !
Played and rated. Keep up the good work :)

Kolobok is kind of a meme to me because my friends told me to read it when I was learning Russian :D
Using physics-based movement in a platformer is a neat idea and trading HP to use hedgehogs as moving platforms is a great twist! But I found the parts where you need to jump from hedgehog to hedgehog really frustrating and I kept dying there.
Thank you for the feedback!
Yes, indeed the part with hedgehogs is challenging, and there is a bug with collisions also that you could insta-die sometimes riding a hedgehog. I didn't have time to fix it yet. I also thought of oldschool way of compensating for lack of content - with brutal difficulty ;)
Liked the retro style! Great game with a simple but well-executed mechanic. It's a shame there wasn't any sound.
Great work! The controls were very fluid and intuitive!
I liked the graphics, really captures the retro feel, and I enjoyed the story of the little bun escaping. Nice solid platformer!
Love the look of the game, the art work is amazing and really captures the old school feel. The controls feel nice and it's very fun to play once you get used to the rolling.
You nailed hard controls, it's difficult but still feeling fair! Nice graphics too!
Simple and effective, too bad not to have added a musical background and some sounds. Good little game :)
Thank you for the feedback!
Yes, I've found some nice free tracks, but I was worried about non-commercial use and if it would cause troubles for streamers so I decided not to include those at all.
