It is a beautiful colorful game, also with a good theme. I would have liked better control when jumping, but I understand that sometimes at jams not everything can be perfect. Very cool.

Perfect theme! But what a brutal mother, kinda what my mom does to my pops. Really funny! 😂
Anyway, with more time I'm sure you can make this better and fix all the bugs. Keep it up! 👍
I really enjoyed the interpretation of the theme! However, I echo what a lot of others have said as there are a lot of bugs. I personally ran into the timer bug and somehow latched onto the invisible wall on the far right side of the stage.
I also wish that the layout could better reinforce the goals of the game as I found myself pretty confused about what I was supposed to do in my first few runs. Great job on completing your game though!
Hey :) We didn't have much time with this as everyone else because my computer was completly busted for 2 days with no way of me being able to login and @Tooble helped me fix it, we are going to be doing a post jam patch to iron out the bugs :)
The layout of the game is styled to be a metroidvania tied into a platformer also. We decided on this because we wanted their to be a panic of not knowing where to go to find the gifts and we believe that this metroidvania/platformer best suits to instill panic and also fuel exploration to find the gifts by taking different paths to find different gifts, couldn't fully explore this though due to said tech issues before unfortunately :(
Really happy you like it though and thanks for playing! :)
Just beat it! i love the fact that there are multiple endings.
i tend to like meme games and I like what you did here
I kind of wish i could respawn from the pause screen and agree with what others have said but overall I had a really fun time!
btw if you like comedy games you might like my previous game jam game, not really polished but people had fun with it
This was a very cute take on the theme, the mother's day influence on this one is very strong. Also pretty funny.
Controls were a bit off, they were a bit slow. Some of the level design was a bit confusing because of the mixing of different assets.
You've made a good game! The plot idea is funny. My splash screen breaks (windows). Well suited to the theme of jam.
Cool game. Music was nice. For the jumpad i think it would be better if it bounces you instead of you having to jump on it. A problem i see is the graphics the style is not consistent some things have different styles and the dog had an outline whereas the player didn't. The graphics look nice but would look even better if everything followed the same consistent style. Still pretty cool congrats on releasing your game!
Overall, a decent little game. I recommend making the jump pads stick out a bit more, and there were more than a few bugs, such as getting stuck on certain surfaces, and at one point a platform seems to have fallen on one side, making it impossible to go back home. That said, a cute game nonetheless.
The platform is intentional as it is a shutter/gate , if you look in the game description on the game page or in the how to play section of the game it mentions this. This is in the game because it gives reason to make the player rush instead of just having a timer and crying on the floor when it runs out . As to the player it would seem as 'why can't i just walk over there and exit, why is there a timer?' , hope this clears it up.
Could you show me where the stuck on surface bug happened through screenshots please, so i can patch them out after the jam? :)
