Very fun game! I would have loved to help Francis, but he got stuck somewhere in the aeration system. Poor him. At least, he had a great last adventure! Thank you for this entry! Nice moment spent here

the jump was a really good idea

I really like this one, the idea, and the mechanics. I've experienced some difficulties with controls, especially when got to the vent, simply wasn't able to jump high enough. However, I understand that it's a game jam and you can't make things perfect in 10 days, I give you my 5/5 for every aspect of this game. Thank you. It was fun.

Developer

Hey Danko, I really appreciate this :)) In the vents specifically, if you jump and lift the IV pole up, you can use it to hook onto the platforms and lift yourself up. We should've introduced that as a mechanic earlier on to make that more clear. Thank you for playing and all the feedback!!

Great idea and execution. I'd like to do parkour with it over the rooftops

Developer

thank you!! maybe for a future update :))

I like the mixture of keyboard and mouse, though for me moving horizontally would have been more natural, maybe make it configurable. I enjoyed the game mechanics with stamping yourself up, nice twist.

Great Job!

Developer

That's an interesting idea to add an option to change the jump to horizontal movement - and thank you, we appreciate it!!

Love the mechanics and the narrative, the models looked great too, I wasn't big fan of the music choice, but thats a personal opinion, not a problem. Overall, I had fun playing it, [Hope you expand on it afterwards]

Submitted

Loved the jumping mechanic. Had a lot of fun playing it. The choice of music is perfect!

Submitted

Absolutely awesome idea and it looks amazing as well. The mouse movement jumping felt a little awkward to me, but very original for sure. Overal great game.

Submitted

I really liked the jumping mechanic reminds me of getting over it good job :)

The jumping mechanic is very unique. I thought you are supposed to move the mouse up to jump, but it’s actually moving the mouse down. Interesting take on the theme. Nice entry!

Submitted(+1)

The main mechanic is very clever. It is super simple but used in a lot of ways, liking breaking the vent and also grabbing things, that's really cool. I like the overall silly premise, and the guy's slippers. Good choice of music, gameplay including things like SFX feels well polished.

Submitted(+1)

I like what you've built here! The mouse movement is a creative way to implement the jumping mechanic. It is quite challenging, which allows for some fun gameplay. Nice work!

Submitted(+2)

The jump mechanic is fantastic! And not just for jumping, but using it so cleverly to latch onto things or, at times, act as a hindrance if you're trying to move through low areas. Really, really impressive and fun! The characters are also very well designed and, along with the music, bring a lot of levity to what could otherwise be a tragic story.

That was fun. The movement mechanic was original. Well done.

Really fun little game! The concept is hilarious, and the jumping mechanic is unique and adds a layer of complexity which I really appreciate. Great work!

Developer

Thank you, I really appreciate this :)) glad you enjoyed the jumping mechanic!

Submitted(+1)

this is hillarious, I loved it. But the checkpoints in the sewers are really harsh. I'll have to come back later

Developer

Thanks for playing :)) And yeah, it is a pretty rough section, could've done with at least a second checkpoint. If you're giving it another shot, it helps to stand on the valves while the water passes!

Submitted

After playing over 50 games, I can say I like yours best. Good luck on the voting :)

Great job, this was pretty cool!

The air vent part really gave me "Getting over it" vibes, mostly because I kept getting my cane/IV pole stuck in the little outcroppings that I was supposed to jump off of. But I enjoyed it. When I finally got through it I was actually proud of myself haha!

Awesome job to the both of you!

Developer

I'm so glad to hear this, thank you! And yeah getting over it was a definitely a reference for us for that section :) glad that you had that experience!!
