- Thanks for your entry into the game jam! Beans beans the magical fruit! I admit to grinning the entire time playing the game :) The artwork is precious and I love it! Sound is simple and works with the vibe. Music also fits with the vibe. The controls could use some work. The current mapping is not super intuitive and adds difficulty that doesn't feel good. Movement is also not smooth as a result. Got stuck several times on a ledge as it wouldn't let me advance forward and have to move back first. Hitting opponents was a touch and go prospect. Seemed to lag in execution of attack. Overall fun concept and great execution on the art and sound. work on movement a bit more and this would be a superb entry! Looking forward to the adventures of bean man!

Yes
Summarise your game!
BeanMan is a MegaMan like game where you platform and fight enemies with the power of Farts! After each platforming level, you are faced with a boss battle which will allow you to unlock new powers. Like classic MegaMan, this game is INTENSE and difficult. If it gets too hard, don't worry, there are difficulty options in the settings. You can use keyboard or controller to interact with the game
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
With the theme "You are the weapon" an a main character with an array of fart based abilities felt very appropriate
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Since we like you and all, I would highly recommend going to the beanstalk first, then the suburbs, then any other order. The beanstalk has a handy skip to the boss with a well timed dash, and the rocket fart you get from the beanstalk will allow you to do another skip in the suburbs. Also, I really love the fart in a jar attack

I really like the character animation and background illustrations. The music is also very charming. I found the platforming and combat pretty frustrating. The timing on the punch seemed off, I think I was only connecting about 1/3 of the time even on the slow moving enemies like rabbits.
