This is cool! The art is so charming, and the mechanic has a nice flow to it.

The level design could use some work. A lot of levels had cheesy routes that bypassed a lot of puzzle elements. Also, Level 6 and 7 were quite difficult!

Some of the sounds (jump, chalkboard intro) are a bit too loud.


Great work!

Unbelievably cool game mechanic, I don't think any other game has employed something like it, so great job! I really enjoyed switching between pencil and eraser mode and making my way through the levels. The zipper animation is super cool! High marks, thank you for sharing!

And if you get a chance to check out my game Foxy Boom Boxy, I would love any feedback you have, thanks!

Very, very cool! Loved this adventure in a school handbag :) I'll say it's best for gameplay to ditch the Spacebar switch and just go for holding S to drill and holding W to jump: much more natural and you don't lose the on/off theme mechanic. Again, very solid work, this could be expanded upon!

Great art style and love the game's originality. However, the jumping mechanic is hard to get used to, and there are moments where I had to be quick, or I had to restart the level due to how strict the timing of some of the levels were. Also, like SantiagoBoscan mentioned, some of the game mechanics were kinda jank. For example, level 5 had a part where I had to use a black ink to create a black platform, but it didn't hit the dotted lines. Level 7 also had a similar glitch where nothing would come out after the orange switch was pressed and released. There was no way for me to complete the level because of it, so I had to give up.

The aesthetic and style of the game are so clever, everything being office equipment is a really cool idea and the way the game uses those ideas to build their levels is really well done. I really found myself enjoying the game at first, however there are some aspects of the game that ruined my experience slightly. Firstly, even thought the text is part of the style of the game, I found it hard to read at times because it was blurry, however the game is low on text so it's not that big of a deal. However, a detail I couldn't ignore was the level design, at first it felt intuitive and fun, but as I kept progressing, levels felt more janky and some of the precise platforming was harder due to the unconventional feel of the game. Still, I admit that even if the game is challenging, there is a lot of really unique ideas that with a little bit more of polished could result in a great platformer. For the sake of this jam, the game is amazing and I would love to see a future version of the game that expands upon the foundation laid by this entry.

Your comment is very constructive, thank you for taking the time to write it. The text was one of the last details that I didn't have time to correct, sorry if some might not seem clear. The precision that the game requires is part of the challenge and was designed with it, I should rethink this detail as it can ruin the level design.
