hey thanks for checking it out! yep that was a route i forgot to test after i added some other states i was going to use later, and never got around to removing the dead body. that is all the game has to offer though currently so you didn't miss anything, more of a proof of concept than a full game at the moment. thank you for the kind words!

solid game! didn't run into any issues while playing, except for the hub area being laggy while the rest of the game was fine. music was good but might get a bit repetitive over time. i love how violent the flamethrower is, but personally the screen shake was a bit much. movement was precise which is necessary to not be aggravating in this type of game, tiling was cheeky in places but clear enough once you get used to each level. game is short enough to do multiple runs and aim for better times, finding spots to shave off a couple seconds was good fun. well done overall!

cool concept! not sure if i was doing something wrong but i didn't find any air pockets/bubbles, looked left right and down. the swimming animation looks nice though and it's a nice base system to build off of!

really enjoyed this! the art is endearing especially considering the theme of the game. there was a fair bit of reading required but that's to be expected with many boardgames. it's a fun dilemma trying to decide whether to take a lower tier candy early and lose an item versus risk it for a later one that is harder to get. i enjoyed a couple runs with different characters and trying out their different items (bubble wand my beloved) trying to min max candy income. the digital board game aspect gives you a somewhat tactile connection to the game which i find helps keep me engaged - in fact i did a project exploring digital flash cards as a form of study tool, and the clicking and dragging cards to match them keeps players engaged in a somewhat similar line as physical cards do. maybe something to be said about not automating everything for the player. great stuff!

this is super legit! the graphics, the tunes, the vibes are perfect. nailed the old school look and feel. the platforming was fun and the double jump was neat to nail tough jumps. one thing might be the combat felt that i didn't have full agency in the sense that it was hard to consistently land shots even with the lock on, so i ended up just firing an unending barrage of shots and just jumping/waiting until the enemy died. but it could just be a skill issue idk. thoroughly enjoyed it, and is definitely something i would play if it was fleshed out fully.

hope you take it as a compliment, but it feels like a game i'd have on my phone and would pop on to try for a high score while waiting around for a couple minutes and trying to reach the next point goal to unlock a skin or color palette or some other small reward. i love that the game is simple but the execution is not, trying to maximize your gold to time spent is really fun. i personally don't mind the death ending your run, as it makes hitting a perfect run feel all the more satisfying and if you do have a good run going you might play it safe to eke out just a few more points. i dig the artstyle and the satisfying bloop sounds, and the buoyancy feels really nice. great stuff!

cool stuff! settings button didn't do anything for me on the web version, but other than that everything worked great! the platformer section was neat with the powerups required to make the next section of jumps. took me a second to figure out the backtrack but i appreciate sidescrollers that use both left and right directions for forward progress. the second level was also neat, i like how it was almost a puzzle rather than a typical jrpg fight - à la tower of the sorcerer and it's niche genre decedents. might be nice to have an indicator for when the enemy is burning/burn turns remaining, but was easy enough to count it out myself. overall a well put together package - art was clear, music was catchy, objective/direction was easy enough to understand. well done!

good stuff! very reminiscent of the frog detective games - low-stakes adventure with fun characters. didn't experience any issues and the game was clear enough so i was never lost on where to go. the ending jingle was a nice touch haha. the background music was a bit loud with no option to turn it down, and got a bit repetitive towards the end but nothing crazy. great complete package!

very neat! everything worked for me except the visualizer and bgm selector on the web build, switching through the list didn't change anything. it's unfortunate that the web version messed with your sounds considering that's the point of it and not everyone wants to go download an emulator if they don't already have one. visuals are nicely done and fit the theme perfectly, and I liked the different palettes (cool how they affect the main screen too!). the title did have me expecting some kind of falling block game going into it haha, doesn't really advertise itself as a sound toy imo. overall i think its pretty cool! (and i love the little vocal chops you got in there)

exploring the dungeon carries many a risk...

thank you so much, that means a lot to me! will have to see if i get the spark to explore the idea further haha. thanks for putting on the event, it was fun! it was a great introduction to game jamming.

thanks, yeah the sprite sheet I used didn't have animation frames so i just slapped them in as is.

thanks! yeah i tried to keep it fairly straightforward here but those ideas could be really cool, appreciate it!

thank you! funny how our games ended up with similar names and menu but wildly different directions.

thank you! i got lucky in finding an easy dialogue manager addon, was also struggling with how to structure it.

Holy hell this looks pretty. And the animations are so smooth. Ugh I can’t wait for this to release but don’t rush it, this will be something real special. 

Awesome! Love the direction this is going, really looking forward to more

This is sick! Looking forward to it

Yeah it was working pretty well, I think as long as both people have decent enough internet then it works nicely. I asked him about it and he said it wasn’t bad to play with, so I think it wouldn’t hurt to mention it for people who don’t know about Parsec to have the opportunity to still play with friends online.

Super fun to play with a friend over parsec! Keep up the great work on this and whatever other projects you work on!

Awesome game, keep up the great work. Can't wait for new content to make it even better!

Awesome game! Really fun concept, can't wait for the full game. Keep up the great work devs!
