I was really excited to play this from the art, and I was really happy to find out if also handles really well! Great exploration of the concept for a jam game and very well polished!
I do suggest making the hitboxes just a little smaller to build more "PHEW! That was close!" moments for the player, right now they are just a bit too tight and mostly come down to "Of course that wasn't going to hit" and don't tread that fine line to build that feeling
Amazing work though!
This is fantastic, everything is super polished and it's a really nice challenge.
I'll repeat "Beyond Sexy"'s words and say that knowing what kills you and what doesn't can be confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it's great. Well done
Very cool and polished even though it's quite punishing! Took a while to figure out what makes you blow up and what doesn't :P
Great presentation and a great mechanic! Takes a bit of getting used to but it's a lot of fun!
Aaaa this has got to be one of my favorite so far! The core mechanic is so simple but it's also so dynamic. Amazing job!
your game is one of the best puzzlers I ever played from this jam and there are a lot of puzzle games. Some very crunchy art too, very smooth and crunchy.
Woha!!! Nice graphics, i love your style!
It's really nice ... ! though it takes time to practice and let the fingers understand when to press xD
Really fun mechanic with the fly speed tuned to match the music's beats when coins are being collected. I really love this detail! Thanks for the game. ( I almost feels like I'm playing a rhythm game with several note tracks where you release and hold W/S lol )
The art is beautiful, and the mechanic is really original, i enjoyed it, the only thing is that the levels need really good aim, or else you are going to die a lot, but it didn't stopped me to enjoyed it, really good game :D
Took me a while to notice that there is that small, harmful, red box at the beginning XD And something killed me many times after second tutorial sign, and really couldn't figure it out for like 5 minutes, so couldn't make it so far :(
haha, I am sorry to hear that. The boxes do not harm you only spikes and bumping into blocks.
Really nice visuals! Hard game but fun!
really cool! i like how the one mechanic has so many different outcomes / implications
cool art and nice movement system
Amazing pixel art, difficult but fun!
Really fun game and awesome art! it's hard (i feel like the hitboxes are too big) but i finished the game! the only problem is that there is crackle when you collect a lot of coins
Really awesome visuals, and the mechanic is cool as well!
Great mechanic, great visuals, good sound design and over all an enourmous amount of polish! Incredible job!
Very underrated! The game looks extremely polished!
The levels are very difficult, but I don't find myself frustrated at all even after a dozen failures.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the game.
It' looks so polished, the graphics, music, mechanics, game design...
Have you slept on the past two days XD? Great job man!
Thank you! Of course a 2 person team makes it a bit easier I probably didn’t sleep all to much…
Like the mechanic. Very challenging!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed.
Amazing artwork and polish! Bloody difficult game, but very fun. How did you do all this in 48 hours?
I created all the art for this game and redesigned all the levels to be a bit easier, you should have seen how hard some of the previous ones were. All the levels are unlocked regardless so if you ever get stuck you can always skip some of them.
