wow!!! i am not nearly hardcore enough to be good at this game, but I did manage to finally beat ol' ory. there's so much personality in all of your animation, music, and dialogue. really really loved it, one of my favorites in the jam. thanks!

Excellent game, the gameplay mechanics are great, I remembered the dash against the 2nd boss, which allowed me to defeat him, the different boss designs are very successful, I gave up against the 3rd which I found very difficult but I loved the game, a lot of personality, and a very good execution, nice job!

Thank you so much for playing and thank you for the feedback! So happy to hear you made it to the final boss. We've gotten consistent feedback that he's very difficult! Definitely room for us to tweak him a bit.

There's a certain "strategy" we designed the final boss around to make it easier; he only does his double spit attack if you hit his head while his limbs are above water!


Again, thank you for playing!

Great concept, pixel art and music! The game has charm and personality. I couldn't beat the crocodile (don't know how to dodge that many bullets). I wish the first boss had less life, it's a bit frustrating to repeat it from the beginning but die on the second form of the boss lol. Anyway, one of the best games of the jam, great job!

Thanks for playing!! And thank you for the feedback. We definitely could have tweaked the boss health stats a bit, and may revisit in a post-jam update.

A tip for the final boss: he only does his double spit attack if you hit his head while his limbs are above water!

Such a fun game, I just wish it was easier or that the fight did not last as long. But it was really fun, I guess I'm just bad at video games lol.

Developer

Don't feel too bad- it's definitely meant to be tough! Some tips if you want to improve-

  1. Always Be Dashing. The dash move has some frames of invincibility, so if you're cornered, dash to safety!
  2. Listen to the possum's hints after you die, each boss has a special tactic that will make things easier.

Thanks for playing!
