Use of the limitation
So basically, there is this npc in the game and if a VERY specific button is clicked (the B button for the Game Boy), then the npc will shoot out particles and disappear which are 2 actions... so thats my take on "one button, two actions".

Cookies eaten
ooffff... I think 1 or 2 cookies, a few sweets but 0 crackers though

Simple and fun! I wish there was an option to jump with the space bar instead of strictly up or w

Sadly GB Studio wouldnt work with at least my spacebar, hopefully we get support for it soon though or another methode... Thanks for playing though!

Awesome game, I love games like this with this style! The concept is very good too! Keep it up!

Fun simple short platformer :) I know gbstudio can be tricky to work in so good job on that! Didn't make me rage too much either once I knew about the false platforms, and I won in 1:23! 🎉

Thanks for the compliments and thanks for making a video on my game! I feel really honoured that you did that, also good job on that time!

The game is hard, which is something I enjoy. However the square hitbox feels unfair, not hard. I know it’s a gameboy game, but a collider that matches the sprite would still make it difficult but a lot more enjoyable imho!

Level is a bit short, but it was fun and sound/art was cool :) Well done!

Thanks for playing! I don’t know if GB Studio supports other hitboxes than just square but its worth looking into it, thanks for the feedback and that you enjoyed the game!

I died about 10 times before managing the first two jumps. The game looks good and polished but the huge hitbox on the player character makes the movement a bit more difficult that it should be.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and the compliments, this game is indeed hard and by no means that easy. Thanks for reporting about the hitbox, i'll definitely keep it in mind!

I do have to say that this game is hard and not easy, so dont be too defeated. Thanks for playing the game though! I really do appreciate it
