this is all around super good! i’m glad to see you ranked highly in the jam!

The game I wanted to play most when I saw it on twitter, did not disappoint.  Was very difficult at first but got the patterns and feel down.

Submitted

This is really great game. It's super hard but in good way. When you lose you feel that it was your fault and next time it will get better. My best score was 1800 :)

WOW!! Holy crap this is amazing. The palette, the art, music, sfx, animations and feel....so so good!! Feels so great on controller too. I think with just a couple tweaks, you have a very shippable game on your hands. Which is pretty remarkable for a jam. If you could map to mobile controls somehow, I'd even play something like this on ios. I'm so blown away by how polished everything feels.

Here are couple notes that I think would fix a couple issues I had:

  • For some reason the start screen doesn't work with controller. So you have to switch from controller in hand to hit the spacebar everytime. (And you have to do this every time you die currently).
  • Every time you die, you watch the entire intro again. Yikes. This was the biggest one that brought the game down for me. It's such a fun fast paced scroller, that I want to just restart quickly when I die. This is a small tweak, but would make it feel that much better. (I would play it a lot longer too).
  • I would up the damage on the spray can a lot. It feels so neat to spray, but the amount of damage it does is SO low. Right now it felt like 5-6 hits. I would make that 1-2 max. Especially when you are forced to move up so quickly, you don't have time to spray enemies. It would make it feel like a nice little move if it almost insta-killed.

I think with those couple tweaks, this would easily be 5 stars for me on all categories. Really incredible work!

Oh.. and that title screen... wow. Looks so good.

Have to applaud the art and level design, everything blends in wonderfully, the palette use on itself is used so well it's hard to say its only 4 colours at first glance. However, correct me if I'm wrong but the score number seems to be a separate colour, making it 5 in total, which goes against the rules. If we go past that, very pleasant but challenging scroller, kudos.

damn dude, this is tough. I dont really understand the purpose of the spray if you cant kill the monsters. Also I died a lot by jumping into things that were rendered just off the top of the screen. Lots of promise just needs a bit more polish on the gameplay.  Everything else is 5s for me.

Submitted

Great game, it just works in all aspects!

Keep up the good work!

Submitted

I really liked this, feels like a legit gameboy game that I could play for hours! 

Submitted

Very nice game! Rounded up very well all in all. Art is great, gameplay was a little hard for me, i think the enemies have too much HP. Loved the music, felt totally GBish, though i think the SFX could´ve been better. I had a very good time playing this :)

Submitted

Awesome! it's in my top 3, I loved the FX of the coins and explosions. The music is also spectacular and very well acclimated with the Gameboy music.

Submitted

Damn, that's a good one ! I really love the art and the animations ! I am really bad so I'm not doing great scores, but this is good ! Well done !

Wonderful game feel! It felt like playing my old GameBoy without worrying that its batteries would run out. Great work folks!

Submitted

Great graphics and sound, and fun to play. A bit difficult, but addicting nonetheless.

Submitted

Very nice game - although a bit difficult to play. the growing plants from the bottom are a bit too aggressive to enjoy the rest of the level

Submitted

Very snappy and responsive game. Excellent presentation.

Submitted

Excellent game, it was a bit hard to get int he small platforms with plants, it is too easy to get hit by them and they are not so easy to kill so I tried to jump as soon as possible to the next platform. The good thing is, even though it is hard, I wanted to keep trying. Obviously, awesome art, sfx, and controls.

Submitted

The sprite work on this is great! I think the rising vines came up a little too quickly, but otherwise the gameplay was really solid!

Submitted

Awesome work on this! I quite enjoyed it.
