It looks more like jim is hunting Jeb down lol. 

Anyway, the game is fun. Took a while to know which way to go after the third upgrade but the gameplay is nice. 

Wished the background and the platform can be a bit more different tho, it is a bit difficult to know which is which, like this one.

 

But still, nice game!

Developer

Haha yeah. Thanks for playing! Yeah originally there were going to be a lot of moveable boxes, but they very buggy and would lock the player so I had to improvise at the end and just substitute in switches/doors.

I definitely agree on platforms being different. I had a pretty good idea that this would be mentioned, specifically which objects are background objects and which are interactable. If I had more energy, I would have focused on polishing that.

Very charming retro homage!

Couldn't finish the game, since I got stock after getting the dive bomb upgrade. I did go back and "pacify" the cow, but don't know what to do after that.

The visuals and audio are nice and consistent, controls are responsive, and the game is fun AND funny.

The rakes are mean, though.

Thanks for playing! Did you try using the map when you were lost?

Submitted

Yep.

One path (right side exit from a 2x1 - width, height - room) was inaccessible cause a trap door was blocking a ladder to the higher platform.
The other path (also 2x1 room, with haybales blocking the path) I could see a path, but it was JUST out of reach with gliding

I'm just waking up (no coffee yet), but it sounds like you missed a switch somewhere.
