Thanks for all the feedback! That flicker is insane, I never saw it during my testing, so it’s useful to have a video to analyze. I’ll try to figure out what exactly was causing that. And good comment about the full screen flashes. Thanks again!
I composed all three music tracks using Lovely Composer, which is a tool similar the music sequencer in the old Mario Paint. I’m glad you enjoyed the music and the character designs.
Nice work. Graphics, enemies, and powerups are very polished. The controls are awkward due to international (dvorak) keyboard layout. Super Mini Jumper and Cheesecake Hero, which I played a few days ago, would both benefit from leveraging physical key values (KeyboardEvent.code on MDN) to make the controls layout-agnostic. This will expand your audience to other countries.
Fix that, and then I suggest start spreading word of mouth (in the real world) about your games, with a mandatory price tag. Pay rent and bills with your work :) You got this.
Tip for other players: the itch.io window is small at least on my browser, so you have to use a bit of thrust and wait a few seconds, then the ship should enter the screen. You can then fly around on screen.
Good effort, I hope to see more creations
Hey! I’m hoping to make a small game for this jam in my spare time. When it comes to music, I’m totally clueless. I would love it if I could work with someone with your skills (your Soundcloud sounds great, it has a style very fitting for an LSD-like game). I’ll ping you on Discord to check if you’re interested!

What can I say except magnificent job! This feels really polished, and I love the art style. You all did a lot with an otherwise small game, and the scenario (involving the characters in the alley and the player character) is charming.
Loved the writing and voice acting! The multiple choice gameplay is not very engaging, but it is understandably in service of the jam limitation (managing the deaths of people on the tracks).
Satisfying!!! And very cool interpretation of the theme and the limitation. I don’t know how you could have come up with this idea, I certainly couldn’t, but it makes perfect sense when I see it in action!
I was stuck on the last level until I figured out a “trick” :D
Really good game. I like the art, and the multicolored hand characters remind me of the many colored Yoshis in Yoshi’s Story. Your game feels polished in a lot of ways.
The real difficulty for me was playing this with my laptop’s trackpad – it makes it tough to jump and move blocks simultaneously.
What can I say – I loved everything about this game. The little faces on the plants were adorable, the slight glow on bright surfaces (bloom filter?) made everything vibrant. It also controlled quite well. There were a couple of tricky jumps, but I think the difficulty was good.
Just to put my feedback here as well (I accidentally put it on the game page), love the visuals and concept! Always good to see a fantasy console in the roster.
