How does your game fit the theme?
The character on screen is not controlled by the player; the player merely guides him. The hiker will jump more or less high, or move slower or faster, or put in more or less effort to clear gaps or reach ledges depending on -his- emotions rather than instructions by the player. The player can only guide him to start going right/left, or climb up or down ladders with the arrow keys.

Very good use of the theme! I saw you made both art and sound and all of it is so good! Congratulations!
Thx, glad you liked the art and music. :D
Cool idea! I liked that you had to keep the character's emotions in mind, and not just focus purely on the platforming. I loved the art style and music as well!!
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you liked the idea, and the music and art as well. We really appreciate it. :D
love how it connects to emotions!
good job o:
Thank you for the feedback! We really appreciate it. :D
Very cool game! The only annoying part is that sometimes the character simply wouldn't clear gaps, even if he was in his "normal" state, which can be frustrating if it's near the end of a long screen. Otherwise, I loved this!
Sorry for the inconvenience, glad you still loved it though. :D
I am ashamed of how many times I died, but there simply a couple of things I didn't understand lol. It grabbed me enough to try again and finish it, mainly because of the art and the music more than the gameplay.
Good job either way :)
We apologise for that, the first idea was that the player can control the character but due to emotions affected by the environment, the character will have an uncontrollable impulse moving on its own thus making it out of control. But as Razoric was trying to implement it, it was way too complicated to code so he went with a much simpler mechanics. And we didn't have much time to fix bugs(if you notice any) and polish the level design. Other than that, thank you for the feedback! Glad you liked the art and music. :D
Really fun game! A nice concept!
This kinda makes me remind of Celeste.. A hike and falling platforms followed by a great leap in the intro..
Great Job!
Thank you for the feedback! We really appreciate it. :D
(Edit)Btw I'm also currently playing Celeste, and I just finished the Chapter 5 lol. :D
It's a really cute idea! And you do really feel like he has a mind of his own but it also never gets frustrating! Congrats! :)
Thank you for the feedback! Glad that we were able to portray this game as intended excluding the bugs n other stuff. :D
The game is cute, but I could not finish it due to the lack of checkpoints.
We apologise for the inconvenience, I hope you still like it though. :)
Fun idea and lovely artstyle. Starting the level from the beginning after falling into a pit made me sad though:)
Oh we didn't think it would make anyone sad lol. Thx for the feedback though! :D
Art style is so pleasant!
Thx, I did the art pretty quickly and with a low amount of effort cuz I usually finish an art for like more than 2 days if I were to put my every thought in it. I'm glad you found it pleasant. :D
The main character kind of reminds me of Steve from Minecraft. Looks very original! 5/5 on the originality!
Thank you for the feedback! I never really thought about it at that time and then my little brother saw it and was like "is that Steve from Minecraft?". And then I just realised that it does looks like Steve from Minecraft lol.
Cute and interesting with nice chill music. great job!
Thank you for the feedback! The music was pretty basic, I recently just started on music compositions. I'm glad you liked it. :D
Thank you for the feedback! You too as well, as I have played your submission and it was really hilarious. And we are proud of our work as this is our first GameJam to participate in. :D
Fun game, great presentation, but could do with a title screen. (it seemed like an intro scene not the game starting when i opened it)
Thank you for the feedback! Lol I guess that never really cross our mind for some reason and I do agree that it seems like an intro rather than the start of the game. Other than that, we're glad that you at least had fun with the game. :D
I did think about doing it, but alas I ran out of time to put something together. Glad you liked it ♥
Love the background art!
Thank you for the feedback! I did most of the art and music while all the code and mechanics are all done by @Razoric480. :D
Pretty good idea, movement looks surprisingly good
Thank you for the feedback! We really appreciate it! :D
