It's a good little platform game with a funny quirk. I find the main character a bit slippery, which combine to the camera with little overhead to the left or to the right made me fall a bunch of time by slipping off a platform because I wanted to jump when the next was visible, which happened too late. 

I really like the graphics, the tiles and characters. combine to the weird out of place background, create such a unique atmosphere. Well done!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!  If I had more time I would've fiddled with the camera and  character tuning a bit more... the camera I mostly left as-is.  For the player character I mostly just wanted to get the jump feeling right; the last time I made a platformer the jumping was way too... snappy?  So in that regard I think I've improved a bit ?  They still move a bit fast but I think it's fine.  Slipperiness is a difficult beast to conquer... :D

I'm glad you liked it! :)

Such a fun and quirky game! I love how all the walls/platforms have faces. Platforming was solid. And the level design was really good. I love the amount of levels made for such a short game jam. Great job!

Developer

Thanks!! :)

Who knew that pushing little green men into spikes would be so addicting.. should I be worried? Definitely enjoyed playing through all the levels of your game! Just difficult enough to challenge me, but not frustrate me too much. I liked your creative tiles as well. The Rock eyebrow one made me laugh :) Overall, nice clean and fun game!

Developer

I'm so glad you liked it! :)  That's really what you want to hear as a game dev; that your game is actually FUN.  :D

You should only be worried if you start wanting to push little men into spikes in real life :O

Great graphics!
That's a really beautiful background.
I also liked the sound design and the  people pushing mechanic.

Thanks so much!! :D

The background graphics are procedurally generated using this really neat tool someone on here made > Deep-Fold's StarScapes so I didn't create them, but I do agree they are really pretty :)

Well done! The sound effects are a little too loud and when a lot of things are happening it gets a bit saturated, but other than that I really enjoyed being a cute little sociopath! :)

I'm glad you liked it! :) Yeah I noticed the weird issue with the sfx, it might be a file type thing, it might also be the easy, haphazard way I implemented them... idk, I ran out of time.   

I usually keep the volume really low on my system when I'm testing just in general so I'll recommend that on the game page, didn't realize they were louder than normal lol!  Thanks for the feedback!

Nice! The visuals are very trippy and it's fun to rampage on the little dudes. Would be nice if there was a ground slam or something to blast the little dudes out when they get stuck in a corner.

Thanks so much! :)  That's a pretty good idea actually, if I return to this I might try to add that :D  

Was running low on time with this one, there's even a color variation and walking animation I made for the little guys I never managed to incorporate :P

Fun idea to push enemies into pits and still play a fun platformer. Love the animation style and sound fxs :) 

Developer

Thanks! :)
