The level of polish with the splash screens, UI, and menus is great! Growing big and watching the enemy fly off screen at the end of a level was a lot of fun. If you go back to this game, it would be really nice if the player slid along walls instead of sticking to them. Aside from that, fun game!

Thank you for playing and your feedback! I am definitely going to look into wall sliding on the first update.

Simple but decent game. I wish I could've done more than just walk around but the presentation was really nice.

Thank you for the feedback! How would you feel about a dash mechanic (on space bar), or power ups (speed, ignore blocks, break blocks, etc)?

Looks really nice, well put together, simple but engaging gameplay.

It would benefit from a better way to find gems ( maybe map or arrows) and clearer indication of when you are in danger ( sometimes it seems like I would get hit but I wasnt, sometimes I thoughtI wa safe and was hit)

Simple but cool concept. Nice polishing too, gj

It was a simple concept well-polished, and becoming big at the end was nice, though it took me some work to figure out that you had to press space on the jumbo in order to actually finish him. I do wish that it was clearer when the jumbo can hurt you - sometimes it seemed like he'd stomped me but I took no damage, and sometimes I thought I was fine but did take damage.

Great notes! I’ll be adding more tutorial tips from the alien for things like kicking the JUMBO for the first time. I’ll also fix up the animations on the jumping/stomping/damaging from the JUMBO. (I ran out of time on those!)

EtanyelloSubmitted195 days ago

super simple concept done well, it's really satisfying to use the jumbo mechanic and kick the creature off the screen

Lots of building up to go big that was great! but I would have LOVED to have have a couple punches back and forth before winning with it
