Loved the game, but I was constantly tripped over by trying to jump with Space, dying at least a couple of times this way :) nice nonetheless. Never seen a game with a yoyo theme :D
I absolutely loved this game. I had reservations about having a boss level because I was having fun with the puzzles but I sat through it and finished it and that definitely sells!! Kudos!
Thank you! I'm really happy you enjoyed the boss :D
the controls take a bit of getting used to but once you get a hang of it it's an amazing concept, love the platforming being built and designed around the growing yoyo
The yoyo gave me terraria vibes and I loved it. My only issue is the yoyo grapple/ enlarge to pull yourself up is a little finicky at times but aside from that good game!
Really really fun and well made concept! You should totally make a full game. Congrats!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you had fun.
Really cool concept and style but the mechanics are kind of hard to grasp for me ahah, might have to do something with how controls are binded
Love the concept and the game!
The sound effects and voice acting were great!! This was a really unique concept too. Nice work!
This is a different team member from makegamergirls. This was super impressive! The controls never fully clicked for me, but mechanically I love the idea and the light action-puzzles were very satisfying. I have a running joke with people about adding a boss during a game jam and how it's a disastrous idea, but you pulled it off!
I really like the creativity of this implementation according to the theme! The scaling yoyo is a simple fun concept in this platformer and the level design fits this gimmick quite well.
