Fun idea! The art was really good and it was a great challenge!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it
Cool diegetic button! The game itself is cool too, I got 18 flies! I’d be glad to see more features or challenges in it! Your itch page is also very well designed
Woah almost a perfect score! It could defiantly do with a secondary thing.... I have a few idea's on how it could be expanded into something more than what it is currently. But thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the itch.io page as well <3
The frog is very cute! I liked how the buttons are a part of the world rather than just a UI.
hehe thankyou!
Nice concept and great art direction, I think that the platforms may be moved a little bit (but it is because i had some struggle with them) but in the overall, great game
Ah, I think the collision boxes needs to be tinkered with, thank you for letting me know! I did get stuck on them a few times myself aswell. I'm glad you liked it overall tho
Cool game you used the limitation very well but sound is missing! And when you jump you character is always facing left. Overall good job!
Funny enough the facing left animation was the last thing I tried tinkering with before I decided to not try break my game again ahaha defiantly something that I'll work on as well as adding in some sound. Thanks for the feedback tho!
I'm glad someone did a literal "one button, two functions" take on the limitation! I was thinking about something like that but went with one input button instead. Very hard game but loved the art on the frog. Great first submission!
Honestly thought more people would go this route tbvh... Was kinda thinking "Man is this way too obvious, bet a billion others are doing the exact same thing." Would of loved to see what Robot Run would of looked like if you went for a literal button. Thank you for taking the time to play and comment though!
Closest I got out of 6 tries was 8 flies. I thought I could cheese the game a few times but it alwasy got the better of me 😂
Great first game and best of luck with your future projects! Will be great to see what you make next 😊
oof 8 flys ahahaha still pretty good tho! Thank you so much for your comment and for given it a good couple of tries 😊
Congrats on your first game jam! Fun take on the limitation, the art and concept are quite fitting with the theme.
Thankyou! I had a lot of fun participating
I like the art a lot, gives me Ren and Stimpy vibes. Congrats on your first jam!
Oh I can defiantly see it!! It's very much the frog eyes and overall texture ahahaha Thank you!
The game is pretty hardcore, it punishes mistakes harshly, but I liked it. Too bad I couldn't get past 12 eaten flies.
I'm sorry, this made me laugh like a sadist ahahahaha
Yeah unfortunately having the fly's all start to swarm in on you with very little way of escaping / maneuvering around is not easy aha. Perhaps this could be fixed with multiple buttons around a scene so that the player has more control over where the fly's go. Or at the very least provide ways of moving around where the flys' can't follow.... hmmm.. Oh well, something to think about / experiment with. Thank you for playing regardless!
Really great Job on your first game submission. unique take on the limitation! Keep up the great work, with a first submission like this i expect you will grow fast with each jam :)
Awwe, thankyou! I really enjoyed this experience so far so I'm excited to keep doing more jams and learning more!
I liked how you implemented the limitation in the game. The art is really nice. It just needed more feedback for the player, like when taking damage, pressing the button or eating insects—maybe some shaders, sounds, stuff like that
Thank you for the feedback! More player feedback is exactly the sort of thing it's missing currently (aswell as music etc.) so will be excited to start thinking about them more seriously in the next jam (or if I continue this project) and to defiantly look into shaders as I have only seen a introduction tutorial about it. I'm glad you liked the implementation and art however!
Nice art and concept! I liked the interpretation of the limitation, too; having a literal button with two functions in the game itself.
Very on the nose, ahaha, thank you tho!
