I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game. Its got a retro quality to it that I really admire and is difficult enough to make it challenging but simple enough that you don't get frustrated too quickly.   I made a Let's Play of my experience which better explains my take on the game as a whole. Really enjoyed it! =D

This is fantastic! The controls and level design are very well done. It's pretty difficult but the quick restart gives it an addictive quality like Super Meat Boy.

If I were to change something it would be to make the randomness more deterministic by reusing a set random seed. That way you could hone your optimal path through each level without having to think about the enemy movements and projectiles changing between restarts.

Developer

He thanks for reviewing! About the randomness, bats are always positioned by map design in the same spot so they are determined (maybe too much). Shooting and bubbles are completely random, within a margin of time. So I guess I provided part of both approaches.

pretty good, it cost me a little at first but then it was easy
Nice work!

Rated 5 stars in all fields, this is one of the best games I've played so far!
(Also had me cussing several times.  I managed to beat the last level though!  XD)

This is really cool!! The atmospheres falling when you hit them and killing you if they fall on you adds such a layer of chaos and I love it. :'D This is great, I had lots of fun playing it! The art is so cool too! I also love the music, it's so catchy!

Woahhh... Nice platformer you got there... The level design was great and so were the assets. Nice animations on the bat and the stones killing you feature is great.
Loved it<3
Good luck with the jam. I hope you like other games in the jam too<3

This is a cool little game. It controls amazingly and its very tightly designed. I also like the color palette. A lot to love about this one!

This game is a good hardcore experience, and a fun one! The only downside is that we did not feel seaside's vibes :-(

A fun and challenging action platformer. I loved the art and music too!

Submitted

So much fun, intuitive and challenging game!!! Bats got a bit mixed with the background. Best game I've played so far in this jam

Submitted

Ton of polish, and great, easy-to-understand, interactive gameplay. Good sprite and animation design, and liked the sound design too. The short levels were a great format for this type of gameplay, and the overall experience felt curated and rewarding. Great experience worth having and an excellent submission to the jam.

Really fun, but some of the sprites were pretty blurry and it was really annoying that there wasn't some press "E" to go through the door, because I wanted to collect all the coins, but the door ate me....... and there should be some other ending when you collect all the coins, people will believe you and stuff (and I know that, that doesn't trigger anything, because I tested).

Submitted

Really cool game. I dont know why, but it felt really pelloish if you know what I mean. I really enjoyed the game, but I realized in the final level that the bats die if a rock hits them. Played the whole game :)

btw, what was the point of the bubbles?

Developer

Hey thanks for trying! The falling rocks also kills foes, so it gives you a chance to kill them but it’s hard.

Bubbles don’t kill, you can mount on the big ones to go up. But they can explode at any time.
