Nice game, a bit short though... :-) Would have loved to see more levels! The art style is amazing, it seems that you have some good practive in pixelart!!!

Developer(+1)

Been doing pixel art for about 2 years, but was an illustrator beforehand! Thank you!

Submitted

Nice game, and I had a nice surprise at the end. Please make more levels :)

Developer

thank you! I appreciate!

Submitted

Such a great game. I really love the graphics and gameplay, had a lot of fun playing.

Submitted

great game! love the concept and the little puzzles. overall this is super well put together, from graphics to music to mechanics — well done!

Submitted

Really cool looking game, couldn't get the spider to not glitch into the wall a few levels in though... shame.

Developer(+1)

can you explain how you did that bug? I thought i fixed it mostly

Submitted

I just re-inverted gravity near the second wall (the one coming down from the ceiling). Then the spider block gets stuck in that wall and doesn't fall back down. Hope that was clear enough x)

Developer(+1)

Yes (: I got that bug once or twice myself before. Seems it wasn't fixed completely after all

Submitted

Really fun, the last level was a nice challenge. i would love for this game to be longer! (i did encounter some clipping with some walls, but it's kinda hard to tell if that was intentional or not in this jam)

Developer

No it is a bug, I am still searching for the cause (: thank you for playing!

Submitted

No problem (Would be cool if you tried my game https://llamadev-games.itch.io/test-slime)

Submitted

So far, every level was really well designed, the graphics are solid, and it has neat audio. Despite the length, what we've got is an incredibly polished game, with nice puzzles.

Definitely had a ton of fun playing it, keep up the good work! :)

Developer

thank you! I appreciate your comment (:

Submitted

5 stars all the way!  This game came off as very polished especially for such a short jam!  I did have an incident where the dropped bug jar went behind some platforms; but the reset level button made that a non-issue; finished all the levels in the jam and would have kept playing!  Nice!

Developer

thank you! And yes, I am aware of this bug. Sometimes, you can also glitch through the floor when jumping, too. Still need some bug fixes!

Submitted

A short but polished and fun experience. I liked this game a lot. Well done! My only problem was that it was a little short but definitely think quality over quantity 

Submitted

Good music, nice visuals, llike that your actually hav e to puzzle out when to deactivate what and in almost each level if no a new "bug"/"powerup" there is at least a  new  Combination to figure out

Developer

thank you a lot! 

Submitted

Such a cute game! It feels really natural to play it, it's easy to understand what to do. I know  it's just a little thing, but I couldn't find any other tips for you: experiment with particles if your engine allows it, 

The game is awesome!

Developer

Thank you! I totally agree with a little of particles to make things better (: So much polishing to keep adding!!

Submitted

Very polished game with an original idea! Great execution and work! Well done :)

Submitted

A very polished and super original game! I really enjoyed playing, GREAT WORK!

Submitted

Nice core mechanic! it's a really fun idea, I enjoyed it! :)

These assets are not created for the jam right? pls let me know so I can adjust the points for visuals accordingly.

Developer (4 edits)

All the assets are made by me, during the jam. That's why there are so few levels, they take about 2 hours each to create! The art and coding has all been done by me, and the music and sound effects by a friend of mine, GreaterPangolin, also made entirely during the jam (: 

Developer (1 edit)

here is the basic tileset i made, if that can help (: actually now that i think of it, the idle animation of the green character and the grass tile were made a couples of days before the jam. But those are the only ones


Submitted

oh amazing! Then you have done a great job with the art. I love it, thanks for clarifying!

Developer

thank you!

Submitted

I realy like the main mecaninc of the game and the puzzels.

Please rate my game.

Submitted

woah there, thanks a lot! Keep track of the game for further updates (:

Submitted

Oh really cool mechanic ideas!  Also, the tutorial is so awesome and the menu~ Great job making and submitting such a polished game!  

Developer

thank you a lot! Spent a lot of time on making all the little details and polish!

Submitted

Art is very polished.

Music is sweet.

Main game mechanic is creative and fun.

And the topic is fully respected.


This goes in my top games list for the jam.

Developer

Thank you a lot! (:

This is a really cool mechanic.  It really makes the player realize how much they take something as normal as jumping for granted. That was a very nice last level and it shows that you're seriously onto something here as far as puzzle platformers go. I could definitely see this getting more fleshed-out with additional pick-ups and levels. Well done!

Developer

thank you a lot! More levels will come their ways (:

Submitted

Impressive Game!, I'm suprised that you could make such a fun little game in under 72hrs. Amazing :)
