  • Holy heck. Literally hits my faves in every box! ✔️ pixel art ✔️ creative platformer ✔️ consistent design ✔️ 8-bit sfx ✔️ on the nose yet creative use of theme! ✔️ freaking fun to play!!!!! MORE MORE MORE MORE PLEASE!!
  • Excellent use of theme. A very literal take on it, but that's not a bad thing. The tutorial level was well done, teaching the basics and giving some extra challenge near the end of it. I'm terrible at platformers, so I couldn't get much past the second level, but it's all really well done. Excellent job.
  • Really well done! I've seen a few Fusion games. Looks like a great platform for this kind of game. The way you utilize the eraser is fantastic. So much versatility. Levels are well built, though occasionally the jumps are the absolute largest distance you can make it. I didn't quite finish the fourth level because I died near the end and the game didn't let me reset and try it again. Really well executed.

Aaaaaa! This game is so charming! The pixel art and sound effects are so cute! This was definitely a difficult game to play though! Once again, I rely on the power of friendship to power through jam games XD One thing that might help the difficulty curve is to add checkpoints in the levels! Also, you can softlock yourself by going the opposite direction and falling endlessly! This was a little frustrating, since reopening meant restarting the entire game again! But still, very cool game! Great work!

Which level had the open left side you can fall off of? I thought I blocked off all of them, but I must of missed one! Thanks for playing!!!

Great representation of theme, game is a bit challenging.  Overall nice design.  Might be nice to have more music.

Wow, this is a really great game all-around and I could see it being up there with the top games of the jam. Nice, fun, and difficult too! Would have loved to have gamepad support though, would have made the platforming and action a bit easier. Overall though I enjoyed the game alot!

thanks! It should automatically detect a gamepad if one is plugged in! I was only able to test it with an Xbox pad though so I don’t know how well it plays with other ones

Great use of theme, and the art is wonderful. It's too hard for me but I enjoyed the parts I got to.

I probably ratcheted up the difficulty a little too quickly, but since it only has 4 levels I wanted to throw some challenge in there. Thanks so much!

My web browser notes that the file to download may be dangerous. Do you have a web build you can upload? (Edit)  I came back around to play it despite the warning. Absolutely amazing  game. The bounce sound effect did get annoying after a little while, but it is visually great with the theme,  plays really well, and has some really cool mechanics. I personally think the controls are a little on the weird side, but I easily adapted to them. I did get stuck on the 4th level where you jump across erasable platforms, seems no matter what I try I always end up short. After several game overs it did finally crash. Once again, well done on the game and making it fit the theme so well
