Nice game with a cute artstyle. Really liked the enemies and I think their AI was nicely done. Could use some more polish in how the player movement feels.

Overall great job, especially for a first game jam.

Developer

for sure! Thank you for the feedback and thanks for playing.

I was waiting for the next level.. hahah.. was this the end of the game?

Developer(+1)

yeah this is the end :( sorry it ended abruptly. I ran out of time or I would've made lots more ! Thank you so much for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Still it was fun!

Why am I a caterpillar with a gun? :D cute little game

Developer

Question is, why not be a caterpillar with a gun? 

(+1)

I don't know how to use my gun, so I jumped and jumped all the way. The puzzle in the second level is quite clever, but overall the level design is a bit monotonous. You done a good job anyway.

Developer

It was left mouse button sorry I didn't have time to make a tutorial :( but thank you for the feedback and playing the game!

I was wondering  what the gun was for... and then I met the bee lol! Pretty cool game. ^ ^

Developer(+1)

Haha thank you I appreciate it thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Is it your first game? Wow man, you're on the right track!

Developer(+1)

Yeah! I just started learning programming about two months ago.  But thanks for playing!

The enemy mechanics were very cool and interesting with you being able to shoot the bees projectiles and the beetle enemies giving you a super jump. A parallax effect in the background could be nice but otherwise very cool game.

Developer

Thanks I appreciate it!

art style was consistent camera could have used a small amount of lerp music was ok. background could use some parallax scrolling.

decent platformer with cute artwork!
I just wish the platform controls were a bit more snappy and it could also fit the topic more.

decent game nontheless! :)

Developer

Thank you!

Okay, here's my feedback Caterpillar:

  • The art is decent, especially the jump animation is pretty funny.
  • The checkpoints are great, they work and there are plenty of them. Though, I think one of them was floating high up in the air in one of the first level.
  • The enemies and attacks are not explained at all. You could use level design to explain the jump attack on the blue enemies and the shoot attack on the bee's.
  • The butterfly endpoint doesn't look inviting. I shoot at it everytime, thinking that it is an enemy.
  • After quite a few levels I think the game was finished, because it just stayed on the level completed screen. However, you should probably make it more clear when the game is finished.
  • The level completed screen takes way too long, should really be one second max.
  • The music gets annoying quite quickly.
  • The level select button doesn't work.
Developer

Yeah there is stuff I wanted to add and do but time constraints :( thank you for the feedback I really appreciate thanks for playing!

Fun Game  , I really like the art , especially the butterfly at the end !

Developer

Honestly that was a last minute thing I was going to have the player turn into a butterfly with a Shotgun after collecting enough leafs but I sadly ran out of time :( But I am glad you liked it thank you for playing!

Everyone gangsta until you give a caterpillar a hand gun. Pretty fun game and interesting idea, I wish there was more to see how far this idea could be pushed but overall well done!

Developer

Yeah I know  :( I wanted more levels but I spent too much time on the mechanics so the levels came last. But its a learning experience. Thank you for playing!!!

Submitted(+1)

Pretty good game! 


I didn't know that caterpillers had guns!

Developer

They do, a lot of people don't know that fact :) 

Submitted(+1)

Developer

NIce little game, good mecanics, might need a lower solution in the webplayer ;-)

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback! And yeah its my first game ever so gotta get used to this whole itch.io thing haha.

I just played as a caterpillar with a handgun killing some angry bees for finding my butterflie friend that is something i thought i would never say and for my surprise it was funnier than i thought good job

Developer

Thank you! Yeah it's something haha 

Submitted(+1)

A caterpillar with a gun against some angry bees, that's a big enough hook to try out the game :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Cool plat-former.  I like that when you jump on the beetles they launch you up in the air.  I wondered for a bit when you use the gun haha, then i blasted the bee.  Great job submitting a game~ Please check out my browser game when you can.

Developer

Yeah haha I tried building up to it to get the players used to the controls and what not :) Thanks for playing glad you enjoyed it.
