I cannot really give high score for gameplay since I cannot even get past the first spike.
Sprite and the tilemap looks cool.
BG tune is also spooky and I pretty like it,
Cannot really say NES feel as I never played NES game before.
Better to tone down the difficulty and make the wall less bumpy.
It maintains much of the difficulty level of NES games. It tests the player's skill very well, keeping them focused on the game. It is entertaining and audiovisually pleasant. Good job.
Wish I could rate a 6 for NES Feel because this has the one thing a lot of great games in this jam are missing - ridiculous difficulty that can only be offset by a cheat code! By no means a negative - I found this game incredibly fun to play and would definitely make a hilarious stream game. "Flappy Bird if it was fun." Loved the sprites (especially Kuro's idle animation) . Never have I been so afraid of goofy cartoon ghosts! Genuine fear...
Tried my best to beat the game with the 30 lives code. And I'll be back to beat this game for sure!!
I did it!!!
I gotta say, playing through the levels again, it's really clear how well thought out the level design and enemy placement is. I love how the game both rewards patience while learning and then rewards speed and confidence thanks to how the enemies load in/despawn accordingly. You introduce new level mechanics at the perfect pace and combine them in a masterful way to create a great challenge. I could definitely see myself beating this with five lives; I feel like this is the sort of game that really encourages growth in the player across the course of the game. I had such a good time playing this and I'm so glad I was able to beat it! I've uploaded my successful run as well as my second unsuccessful run beforehand. Thank you for the experience 🐦
Game over:
Thank you, I appreciate your compliments on the level design! It's awesome you were able to beat it eventually, I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to stick with it. We'll be extending this game to be a full length steam release and I hope that I can improve the level design even more when we're working on it. Thanks for sharing your gameplay as well, it's helpful and fun to watch!
This could be a great rage game. Its pretty and fun... and hard as hell. I'll keep trying!
Also, this totally feels like a NES game. Cool entry!
Absolutely FANTASTIC game! Loved the feeling of trying to overcome a really hard challenge, gave me massive nostalgia for older games I fell in love with ages ago.
While the movement caught me by surprise getting used to it felt like all part of the journey.
Level design was hard but not super precision like kaizo stuff and hit perfectly for me.
Congraturation on a great game!
Didn't have the patience to get very far with it, even with infinite lives.
Not a fan of how easy it is to get out of control, and the wall rebounding felt awful to deal with.
But I can respect that it's that way by design, even if it's not my kind of game at all.
Dunno if the NES could actually move that fast, felt more like something on Genesis or similar to me.
The main character is very cute though, and was nicely animated.
Super Kuro is simple but super FRUSTRATING, In just the right ways! The game gives off old Mario speed running trying to get to one lvl to another without dying and rage quitting in frustration. This game is solid and 100% gives off the old NES feel and vibe! One thing I thought could have been changed is the use of cookies or whatever the collectibles are called, I would have liked for them to display somewhere on the screen instead of just showing up at the end of the level but thats just me being really picky! Overall this game is AMAZING! (Forgot to add that the sound design is very cute and matches the cute little bird!)
I really liked the audio here. This looks like and feels like NES title.
IT'S REALLY GOOD!! it captures the NES feel perfectly and the gameplay was pretty challenging
could be great with work, but protagonist feels clunky to control. also spikes should only kill the protagonist when he touches the pointy end.
Very very challenging!! But super satisfying when you get the perfect flight path. Just for me, that was very rare haha. Nicely designed, good authentic art style to the pixel art. The physics were just a bit too fast for me to get very far! Here's my gameplay & ragequit lol. Nice work!
I almost passed the 1-2 perfect but died at the last bread piece and rage quit hahahaha I loved the game mechanic!
The best I've done so far is dying in 2-1 with 29525 points.
The game is excellent, I love it. It both 100% feels like a NES game and is very unique due to be based on this weird physics including bouncing on the walls, which is quite fun to apprehend and get better at using it. The sequences are different with the appropriate difficulty and the length of the levels is perfect too, it's not impossible yet quite satisfying to beat one more level.
