Ranked from 35 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Did you work in a team?
There were 2 of us in total. We both split the code, art, and design so it was a true collaboration!

Was the resolution a challenge?
I think the biggest challenge for our first lowrezjam entry 3 years ago was the camera following the player. This time the camera is fixed on each section of the level so you can't blindly walk into an enemy or jump off an edge.

What did you learn?
I think the biggest lesson I learned is that it's extremely difficult to share code and match art styles with somebody. The former, especially. It was a rewarding challenge, but probably not the most efficient way to go about making a game!

Cool Game! I really liked the art, and the gameplay itself was pretty fun too.

Loved this, played it through to the end! Great use of a very simple color palette, aesthetically pleasing and simple. Gameplay was fun too, simple metroidvania style. Everything was self explanatory or you used tutorial text to explain it. I also liked the music and sounds! Only thing I'd say is it could've been more challenging but that's to my taste. Gave a well deserved five stars on each category! I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look at my game too :)
