Fun game, great concept. Thought the controls would take more getting used to than they did! Great effort :)

Developer(+1)

That's so great to hear! Thank you so much for the feedback!

Hey ! I like the visuals of the game : it's simple but efficient. The yo-yo is a very creative idea :D But the controls are a little complicated. It's a good little game, well done.

Hey!  We really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Do you think you can check out this guide and tell us if it's helpful for new players?

Yeah, like everyone else, I think the controls are a bit hard to get used to. But once passed that moment, we have a nice game that really exploit it's main mechanic. Nice work ! (^__ ^)/

The controls and movement are very cluncky, but I enjoy the idea and playthrough.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, we could definitely improve the movement. I really appreciate the feedback! It means a lot.

I think it would me better if player character stopped spinning like crazy.

Developer(+2)

Thank you for the suggestion! We'll do some testing

You think in the right way, but the problem is that new players don't like reading much. Keep it in mind in the future. Gifs + short descripcion will be a beter format.

I am sorry, didn't see that there are more information! A liitle bit tired, and haven't noticed that. Now the only thing you should do - a smooth level flow which teaches player to do all these things! :)

It's no problem. Certainly! We will make in-game tutorials in the future since we have more time now. Thank you!

I've escaped :) .Nice game I really like the pixel art. The game was difficult at first but then I found out you can actually move and jump :D . How do you pickup coins? or they are just there ?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm so happy you figured it out. About the coins, they were supposed to disappear after you touch them but it appears to be a bug at the moment.

Because of the weird controls it felt like a Getting Over It style of game. Anyway I had fun with the game but I got stuck in what looks like fire.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Hey, thank you for posting a comment! Yeah it's true that the controls are hard to get used to. About getting stuck, you can reset the level by pressing the R key when you die. Sorry to not make that more clear in the directions. Nevertheless I'm glad that you had fun! Thanks again!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback. We realized after we were making the first level that it is similar to getting over it, and I think it ended up being a small influence. The weird controls were necessary or else it would be too easy. The controls could have been improved if we had more time.

same here XD
