@Rocksus Nice little game :D puzzle were good, animation are also good. Music was matching the game play, overall it a good game. You should release a post jam version with better art (surrounding).

Thanks! Will definitely do it!

I really liked the fox animations, nice job :)

I noticed the game gets stuck when I scare the fox -- am I missing something, or do I have to restart the level at that point?

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

It's an intended behavior. The idea is to not scare the fox to a corner, else it will keep hiding on the corner.

Should've added some details on it, but was afraid to break the game if I added something more in it..... Thanks for the feedback!

Excellent execution on a simple concept and great level design. The invisibility mechanic added a lot to it.

This is quite different from the other games I've seen since i involves pushing two characters away from each other instead of pulling them together, which is pretty cool! I find it pretty funny that the fox is what's scared of the bird instead of it being the other around! The only thing I found was that sometimes, if you were just barely in the range of the fox running away, its animation would constantly switch between idle and running. Other than that, great game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look up how to make smoother animation transitions post review!

I love the subtly ridiculous premise that this mean looking fox would be so scared of a big fluffy chick.

Nice and intuitive gameplay premise that allows for a nice variety of levels. The first few levels do a great job at making the player familiar with all the controls and mechanics they'll need for the rest of the game. Good work!

Developer

Thanks! Level designing probably was my favorite part!

The game was very cute, and the idea that the connection pushes them apart instead of pulling them together was very unique.

A nice play on "Reverse Mario Ghosts". A simple design but well made. Cheers! 

Developer(+1)

Hadn't thought of that. Good one!

Damn I also hate it when I get chased by a giant bird :D Nice idea with some challenging puzzles!

Submitted(+1)

Simple yet fun idea. I felt like fox is flying a kite and I am playing as kite. Keep up the good work

Nice idea, probably needs a little more polish, but it was fun!

Really nice game! But you could've used a ghost sprite. would make it more logical.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely do it after the review period!

A simple concept to understand and very well executed!

Submitted(+1)

The mechanic works really well. Some game design was a little confusing but nice job overall! 

Submitted(+1)

a really cool concept and a unique take on the game jam theme

It was also weird to see the fox from all of those unity tutorials in an actual game 

Developer

Thanks!

You got me there! I focused on learning how to create & code a game. Sprites & audio design next!

Submitted(+2)

Pretty interesting game!
It would be cool if there was a way to regen the invis stamina 


Developer(+1)

Thanks! Will definitely look into that!

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept!  I liked the art for the characters and exploring the levels.  Would love to see more mechanics added.  Great job finishing on time

Submitted(+1)

The concept is fun

Submitted(+1)

I thought the invisibility was a really punishing mechanic, but I can just restart the level quickly and it feels so good when I was finally able to finish them with *just* enough left! Great concept overall.

Developer

Thanks! I'll explore more on making the mechanic better!

Submitted(+1)

Really nice concept. Also a great presentation and level design!

Great concept, I love how its the bird chasing the fox instead of the other way round.

Developer

Thanks! I wanted to redesign the sprites but had just enough time to build and make a submission
