Didn't expect to be so immersed in a jam game. Everything's done really well and I love the creepy monster following you around. The sound of the game was done really well. Nice work :)

I really love the style of your game! It's a really cool concept and I felt the difficulty was perfect. The sound effects are perfect as well, nice work :)

That ending cracked me up haha. Honestly a really simple and fun game. Having the camera zoom in when you're about to score was a really nice touch ! Nice work :)

Love the take on the theme and the visual style. I thought that allowing the player to create a snowball from the blocks that make them bigger was a cool mechanic. Nice work :)

Woo hoo ! Love the music of the game and the atmosphere. Surviving the winter was a cool take on the theme and it was super satisfying making it into the cabin. Nice work :)

https://itch.io/jam/1-bit-jam-5/rate/3310398 Here's what I made, having a look at yours now :)

Love the freezing mechanic, the cute art style and the little hidden keys around each level. It felt super cool wanting to go down a waterfall and finding a key in a cave at the bottom. Nice work :)

I really like the unique perspective you used. The game presents really well and ramps / obstacles are very clear on the screen. Sick music as well. Great work :)

Navigating through those giant asteroids was sick. The enemies behave really cool and made the game feel super fresh, nice work :)

Love your art style ! Took me a bit to get used to but once I did it felt great to chain jumps and kill enemies mid air. The death screen looks really nice too, great job :)

This is a really unique and simple concept which was fun to learn, the game looks, feels and sounds great! Great work :) 

love the details and animations, the game was surprisingly atmospheric to play ! Great work making some awesome fiction :)

The sounds were so good haha. Love the presentation and destructible terrain. Nice work :)

Wow the art is super detailed and looks great. Great work making all of the playable forms fun and unique !

This game has some great design, showing the trajectory of the axe is really cool, it's clear what the axe can stick to and what it can't and it feels really satisfying to chain multiple jumps together. Amazing work :)

I love boomerangs, I thought the mechanic that a boomerang has to come back to the person who threw it was really clever and made sense. Really cool addictive arcade game nice work :)

Love the lighting system, the way the level is opened up in front of you is really cool and reminded me of Bastion. The weapon choices and various enemies added some good variety which I liked. Nice work :)

Love the concept! This is a really cool take on the theme. I really like the cutesy artwork and polished gameplay, nice work :)

This is really fun to play, I love the reloading, bomb and time speed boosting mechanics. It feels great to move around the level super fast and have the speed effects show on the screen. Also slowing down the time while you're shooting  feels great. Amazing work :)

Here are some things I liked: the shop keeper is hilarious, the dash mechanic, loads of different enemies and the crazy wizard dude that messed me up ! Nice work :)

This is a really cool concept, the artwork looks great and the idea is super simple to understand. I appreciated that you start the player off in a room which can't hurt them so that they have time to learn how to play the game, that was a smart choice ! Great work :)

Yep that's spot on ! We wanted to explore an idea where you could scale the size of projectiles. The enemies also infinitely join together to "build" in scale over time :)

For example:

The explosions freeze that way on purpose but we may have got a bit carried away haha. Thanks for playing we hope you enjoyed it !

Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game !! This is great feedback and actually something we were considering - we ended up sticking to the arrow keys to try give that tough 'arcade like' feel but also it's really helpful to hear how you found this ! Thank you :)

This game looks incredible. Really great amount of polish. I think that games which have constantly switching modes can often lack an aspect of control, I was really pleased that you gave me the option to select some modes to take away each round - I felt like this brought back my control and was really clever design. Overall I really enjoyed playing, great work!! :)

What a fun challenge! Learning how to phase in and out of the walls while jumping between platforms was really engaging. Awesome work :)

The animation at the start had me hooked from the beginning. The different modes added a fun twist to the gameplay and kept it fresh. I also loved the variation of enemies I could fight. Great work :)

This is a really interesting and fun take on the theme. The game looks really good - I loved the seamless transitions between portions of the levels. Also I loved music mode and feeding the fish haha.

Great work :)

I love the way this game looks. The concept was really cool as well, reminded me of my favourite game of all time: Papa's Freezeria. A la good job :)

This is really impressive, great work finishing your first game! I liked the tongue mechanic and thought the donkey mode was fun as well. I also liked that at times there were multiple paths you could choose, it kept the game feeling fresh! Amazing :)

I really like this idea, super challenging to pick up but once I got the hang of it I found it really satisfying and addicting. The video you had of you playing really motivated me to do better after I saw what was possible haha. Great work :)

I really like this idea. The visual feedback for the boxes breaking was really helpful for me to learn the different uses for the modes in the game. The presentation is also really cute!

I also noticed your comment below about adding sound, I like to use JSFXR or SFXR to add free sounds quickly to my games. It's a really easy tool for sound effects if you don't have much time so it's worth checking out if you're interested :)

Anyway I really enjoyed your game, the modes add a good variety to the gameplay and solving little Metroidvania puzzles is a super engaging take on the theme. Great work :)

I love this game! I fell off of the track within the first 3 seconds of playing but I quickly learnt that I could use this to my advantage and create shortcuts. This has a really fun flow and makes me feel like I am going SUPER fast. I feel like it would be really cool to see a map of where you are - I was really curious to see the map's full layout while I was playing.

This is really awesome and I had a great time playing :)

Thank you so much for playing!! We have a tune but because of some limitations on our web version the music takes some time to play depending on the browser. Thank you for the kind feedback :)

This game slaps! I lost it when the billboard girls were covered in the blood of my enemies haha I have nothing to say other than this was wicked and you guys did an amazing job :)

I had a really fun time playing this. I love how you have to traverse the map to get to the different levels - this was a really cool way of learning how some of the mechanics work in the game. Amazing work :)

I was hooked on this game from the opening cutscene! I wish there was more because what is here is really funny and creative :)

This is probably the best take on the theme I've seen so far. Really awesome idea, super challenging but fair. I found this one had a really good skill curve. Amazing work :)

What a cool take on the theme! This would be such a tough idea to execute on in 2 weeks so awesome work making it as fun as it is. I thought that the various enemy types worked really well as ways to influence where the player has to move. Nice work :)

Number 3 on the leaderboard! I love the presentation, the opening of the game was really creative and cool. I think the concept was really simple to learn and I liked the cool things you added like having the trajectory change colour to match the mode. Great work :)

We did have similar ideas haha! I love how relaxing this is, the messages as you climb higher and higher are a really nice touch and the game looks and sounds really polished/simple. Great work :)
