The squash and stretch on jump is so satisfying. However, the difficulty fell off
Yea, everybody is saying the game could be harder
Really liked the gameplay, and the sfx and animations were really nice touches.
Thanks! I myself didn't like much the sound but glad you did!
Neat game - Love how the music changed when you where running out of time. Good Job
Thanks! I think that was the feature that most took time
Gameplay 3.5/5 - Very fun platforming controls, but the main loop gets a bit stale after a while. More ramping difficulty would have gone a long way in making surviving for a long time a real challenge.
Visuals 4/5 - Very basic but the little touches with particle effects and the character squishing as they jump add a lot of charm.
Audio 4/5 - Nice audio design with sound effects and especially in the small touches of the music speeding up.
Overall 4/5 - I enjoyed my time with the game and I think it is a solid base for a game.
Theme 3.5/5 - The theme is here although it didn't really incorporate into the gameplay much. Still works though!
Thank you! You weren't the only one that would like more difficulty neither the only one that liked the particles so I guess I did good :D
This game is really cool! I love how you incorperated the theme, and it makes for a nice highscore based game.
Great work!
Thank you so much! I just wish I had make the difficulty increase a little faster
Very smooth gameplay!
And I really like the minimalistic visuals with juice (particle effects, stretching animation of the character, physics for the falling crates...). It reminds me of a game we made for an old jam ( https://notapixel.itch.io/keep-the-love-alive ).
Nice work!
Well, thank you! It seems like everyone liked the juice I put on he game, so good to see it was worth!
Nice idea for the theme. I really like the small details like the way the character stretches when jumping or how the music changes based on the health of the player.
Thank you! I wish I could have done more of these little details, but I'm glad that it was worth make the ones I did make!
Cool idea with a nice level. After a while it got a bit stale, some ramping difficulty or something could have been fun, but it's very impressive and polished for 3 hours
Well, there is ramping difficulty, but it's barely noticeable, glad you liked it!
Great level design, character control and juicy jumping, I think it could have really benefitted from an extra element to mix things up, like a powerup of some kind, but what's there is very well polished, great job!
Well thank you so much!
My plan was to make the game as juicy as possible with a simple concept, glad you liked it!
Fun concept. Great look and feel. Controls are tight and polished.
It has an entertaining gameplay loop. The foundation for a challenging game is definitely here. If the difficulty ramped up a little more as time goes on I could see myself going for the highscore on an online leaderboard or something like that.
Oh wow, thanks. I didn't have much time to test the difficulty so the way I did it was that every time you pick up a box your life drains 10% faster, I did think it may be too little but, again, had no time to test.
Thank you so much anyway :D
I love the squish effect when you jump haha! The particles are nicely done too :)
Well thank you so much! That was the plan to make a really smol game and polish the crap out of it :)
