The art style is amazing. The story is quite humorous. Very good job.

Good work! This one was pretty unique, I liked that I was able to put just the tip of my big toe on certain blocks to avoid slipping on a rock right next to it.

Really funny idea, great shitpost. I feel like there are some more potential jokes in there such as him being really good at lifting/pressing stuff but the level never requiring you to lift anything.

Good stuff!

That was really fun! A very cute concept and the art is really pretty.

Pretty fun game. I did find that you can skip some intended slips if you do precise jumps... just saying... speedrunners ;)

Love the humor in this one. The intro text could be a bit quicker though. It would have been cool if the bananas really sent you flying to let you cross bigger gaps! Presentation is pretty nice too, big yellow muscle man is hilarious.

I'd appreciate it if you check out my game too if you have a minute! Every day is chest day!

PS - you can export Godot projects pretty easily for web, which is a good way to get more people to play your game. :)

Thanks for the advice!

The concept was very hilarious. I would have loved to see more characters like mr ultra chest. He reminds me of handsome squidward. Game functions well, but maybe this guy would climb ladders faster if he used his MASSIVE biceps.

Very good, I got banana-ed within the first 10 seconds. Id love to see someone speed run it, maybe there are some secret stratagies to shave off a few seconds. Very creative execution of a slow speedrun, it makes falling off a ledge that much more punishing.

funny and creative game, I enjoyed playing it
the jump pose just being the idle looks pretty funny, only thing the game lacks is a background song

the intro made me crack a smile, lol. this is a funny idea! it's an interesting take on the platformer genre, giving you a little more time to analyze the world while you're moving instead of just glimpsing it. i'd be interested to see this fleshed out more--i know it's more of a joke game where everything is supposed to waste your time, but it's piqued my interest for sure!

It's really well done! Not sure if I can call a slow platformer with a tiny jump "Fun" but I did enjoy the experience. I'd love to see someone actually speedrun this though.
