Super nice. It's a simple idea but pulled off well and just felt nice to play. The jump sfx was a particular joy. THUMP

Really nice game. It feels really good when you manage to catch all the villagers. The art and the sond effects are great. And the dialog and sounds make it really funny too. All in all I really enjoyed playing it, well done!

This was a fun game. there were a few levels that really had me thinking "i hate those engineers". the dialogue box and the screams of the villagers made this fun to play. And with such a simple idea, I was surprised to see so many gimmicks in every level, every time I think one gimmick is already getting old, another one pops up.  And im glad you only need to get 6 villagers over to the other side per wave. if the challenge was to get every single one to the other side, i don't think my heart could take it. by the way. Also looking over your other comments, I also made my game in Gamemaker, were you not able to build it as a zip? because I was able to do so, and I used to have the same problem you did

Really fun and simple! At first I thought catching the jumping villagers was gonna be hard, but the platform speed and villagers falling speed are tuned really well!
The installer made me a little paranoid, though.

This is a lot of fun! Typing some thoughts as I play:

• The SFX are really great, I love the screaming, and the jump sound fits nicely. I appreciate the varied screams and rescue pings
• I really appreciate the visual timer on the left so you know exactly how long you have
• I wish there was a restart button (is there?) sometimes I’d lose too many villagers and have to wait for them all to leave just to fail
• being able to use A/D in addition to arrow keys would be a nice QoL improvement. Particularly because space is the dialogue button, my hand always rests with my thumb there, so I have to specifically move away from A/D to arrow keys and then back
• I was going to say there seems to be no incentive to get more than 6 across, but this actually works well with the timer because it takes longer this way
• launching people between platforms was a lot of fun
• i think you did a good job with the balancing where I didn’t feel pressured but also lost a few times
• I chuckled when after a bunch of exposition one of the intros was just “another geyser good luck tho”
• I’m not sure repeating everything 3 times is worth it, since the mechanics continue between levels, once you do like one or two waves you kind of get the hang of it. I don’t have a good alternative in mind tho
• sometimes the platform would start so far away that i’d have to rush to get the first passenger on, which felt a bit pointless
• the last level was really really hard but I got there!

Good job!!

So funny I had fun with it. It didn't have to hard of a difficulty curve but even when I lost it was great fun

The game is really nice. The screams were sort of a little much and I wish it gave a little more information on how many people needed to get across to win, but it was nice! big score for you!

Really Cool Game, I Didn't Really Know How To Play At First But Later The Game Felt Really Good After, I Like The Art. That All, Good Game ;P

I really wish you didn't make an installer.

The game is very well made. The core mechanics are fun, the puzzles are well designed, and the art and sound effects are all funny. Really great game.

Fun game with very fun sound effects! I like the narrator commenting each level. Good job!

Balmy pass is an incredible game with alot of potential the artstyle is amazing I like your approach to the focus , you made an amazing game therefore without a second though I'll give you a solid rating thank you your amazing submission!

Something tells me that you loved playing Lemmings as a kid ! Didn't expect to have so much fun just from reading the game's concept though here I am, laughing my head off at the sound of dying villagers. The platform jump has nice satisfying kick to it too, though a small music loop could carry the game even more.

Graphics are minimal but they more than do the job for the game's concept and I loved the humour at the beginning of each stage.

I really enjoyed playing this :D especially the sound design and the throwing mechanic made it reaalllyy fun(yes sometimes it was fun to hear/watch your villagers die). Ever new development in the level or mechanic that was introduced made the level feel increasingly challenging and kept it interesting. I found specifically the fireball or that you cant have all villagers walking the same way when you throw them making it a bit more difficult to control the flying velocity(at least it felt like that maybe it was just me ^^') a bit frustrating at times but that barely took away from the enjoyment i got from playing this game :).

 In the beginning i thought it might be fun to have the villagers actually walk back off the platform once they walked one full cycle on it to make it a bit more challenging but specifically in the later levels that would have just made it unnecesarily challenging.

A really fun a game!

Love your art style. The retro feel with the great sound design really made this an enjoyable playthrough. That feeling of losing a whole wave of villagers to lava and watching the animation of them flying away in pain towards the horizon is hilarious! That last level though... I lost so many villagers, it quickly became a humanitarian crisis. :D Excellent jam entry!

Was genuinely interesting at how the levels evloved and got harder lots of fun. Also the villagers screaming flying in to the distance never got old, hilarious.
