The artstyle,  music, sfx for the game was really cute...  some of the jumps were  really  hard  to do though, and i find  myself bumping my head and falling from time  to time... but still enjoyed the game otherwise

Yeah, what you're noticing there is how poorly I managed my time. Got art and whatnot done and left very little time for level design. No joke, I was about a week away with almost no game, just a bunch of art and systems. It's a terrible habit of mine.

My point is, the level design is pretty janky. Glad you could enjoy the game, nonetheless! Thanks for playing!

glad to hear we share the same issues, I'm not fond of level design and I tend to procrastinate it as much as possible.

My favourite game of the jam so far! Loved the pixel art and all the crazy character designs. The dog who just wanted a pair of jorts. And the weapons-based upgrade system was really awesome and inventive. Didn't have a clue how to fight the living cave, but it was a good place to end!

Glad you enjoyed it! I love writing and I love making characters, so, for better or worse, that's where my attention tends to go.

The living cave was the end of the game actually, so for sure a good place to end! You just have to shoot his eyes; it was not the most developed boss fight to be honest.

Anyways, thanks so much for taking the time to play and leave feedback!

Loved the game! only qualm i have is that when i reached the second area down from the city, my game started lagging really hard lmao no idea why

Yeah, I experienced that sometimes, but wasn't able to figure out why before the deadline... so sorry about that. Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless! 

By the way, I love the little orange guy in the cover image of your game; looking forward to playing and rating soon!
