Very fun and enjoyable, was playing for at least 20 minuets
Thank you for your feedback :D Glad you liked it!
The game is good, nice idea lol! The levels look great I wasnt able to try the level 2 fully yet, Ill try later maybe. Overall I liked it :) I upload the video later, rating and commenting since the time for rating is running out :p
Thank you so much for your feedback :) I'm glad you liked it and can't wait to see you playing!
I really liked the stupid premise, and the animation of jumping out from so high! Second map tunes difficulty nicely up! Sounds area bit weak imo compared to everything else, but a really nice sumbission overall!
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I hope the second stage was harder than the first stage but still enjoyable :)
pretty nice game. controls are a bit slippery sloppery tho. in my opinion but its fine
Thanks for your feedback :D
Your game is awesome. Music, art, and controls are really good! Mechanics and objectives make this game so original. Only one thing, the second stage is a bit hard, but it's ok!
Thank you so much for your feedback, really :D I'll update it later so the difficulty can be a bit more balanced.
Oh boy, you deserve one big review for that comment made by Kayonji alone... Where do I start?

Please don't take this review too personal. I loved this game a lot! Which meant I got quite heated when I felt like "Ooohhh nooooeee.... Why oh why did you do that!?" when the cannons kicked in haha. But... Perhaps... In a way this is metaphorical... The game reels you in with a love letter to all things platforming... But then tries to STAB YOU IN THE BACK...Like... LIKE A PSYCHOPATHIC EX GIRLFRIEND! How could I not see this all along!??!?!
Jokes aside though. I would highly welcome a bit of player feedback (Visual or Auditoral) on those cannons. They are the only things preventing me from giving this game full score and it is the most unsatisfyingly, wrong feeling thing I have had all month, not giving this game full score, that is.
Thank you so much for this feedback, it was pure gold. It only reinforces the importance of testers throughout the development of a game: During development, I played my own game so many times and got so used to how it worked that somehow I forgot that it could be harder - or sometimes even unfair - for other players at some points like the canon. I only had 1 day and a half to finish the game because I started late, so the lack of feedback from others really shows up, right? You are absolutely right about both cannons and laser turrets: not only they were too fast, but they were also missing audio cues whenever the player was next to them.
I just updated the game with nerfed cannons and more cover options for the second level, and some reduced visual stage noise for stage 3 as well as blast sfx for them when the player is near (otherwise it would be playing sfx all around), so please try it once more if you have the time, it should be less absurd now. I hope it makes amends with your score.
Once again thank you for your feedback. You asked me not to take your review too personal, but I think productive feedback like yours is exactly what we need to improve. Cheers!
Nice! I will try again! I was really tired and kinda "hangry" at that point haha. That's why some of my words revolving around the Cannons might have been overly and unnecessarily harsh.
Jeah, that felt soooo much better now! This time, when I died, I felt like I was playing stupid. And now I have more of this, learn the Level, race against the clock feeling, where as before I had to play kinda perfectly because of the difficulty, so that the clock was a non issue. Adjusted my rating and gave it the score I wanted it to have from the start! :)
I'm glad it worked! Thank you for playing and nice to meet you!
I love the sound effects, music and the idea of the game. The controls feel nice and the art is good too, the only thing i thought that could do with improving is the difficulty (as it is quite hard for a game jam game) as the first level is still quite hard and then once I made it to the second level that was way harder.
But overall great entry :D
Thank you for your feedback! Since it's not the first time a reviewer comments that the second level's way too hard, I'll tweak it a bit to add more timers and less obstacles. It was mean to be hard, but not that hard :D
What a fun game to play! I loved the music and the character pixel art. The first stage was really fun, the second stage became a little hard, but still was enjoyable. Overall, Great game!
Thank you so much for your feedback :) glad that you liked it!
I tried to make the game gradually harder as you advance. Stage 3 is way harder, but it's also my favorite.
What an improvement! Much more of a blast the second time and nice update to the animations :D
Wow, what a great look for a game! The art and design go together really well. The pace of the gameplay is almost perfect, and it has very few bugs. The lightly sardonic tone of the entire design was absolutely great as well, keeping the mood up by escalating the absurdity at each turn.
My only notes are that if the jump doesn't trigger, not to play the jump SFX as that messed up my timing a few times, and then maybe a little tweaking to the hitboxes to make the level design a tiny bit more forgiving. That, and maybe a punch-up of the run animation. Contrary to other comments, the clocks as time-extenders seems pretty clear from the start.
For me, it was a brute force memorization game, learning the safe paths and building muscle memory, which made for a very rewarding experience, in which you're spending longer getting to know each level as opposed to rushing through many quicker levels as many platformers do.
Overall, high marks in every category. Thanks!
Oh, thank you so much for your review! I didn't even notice that the jump sound was triggering if you kept pressing the jump button, so thank you for the heads up! The character animation is indeed looking really poor, as it was made minutes before the submission deadline for the jam, but I'll take a couple hours tomorrow to remake it. Thank you again for your insight, it was very helpful!
Hello! I just want to let you know that I updated the art and corrected the Jump sfx. Thank you so much for your review and give it another go if you feel like :)
I'd have to say, it was a bit stressful, but a lot of fun too. The escape alarm was perhaps a bit loud, but the other sound effects were pretty cute. Nice game, well done. (Also, the 'they are at your home somehow' did make me giggle.)
Ahh thank you so much for your review! I took your note and lowered the volume for the alarm.
I got 3 items out of 4 :)
The run animation is... well... weird ? but it's fun ! :)
Hahahaha it was made in literally the last 30 minutes before submission limit, but I'll polish it later. Thank you for playing!
By the way, I totally revamped the game since the submission day. Give it another go if you have the time :)
