Haha! Thanks for playing and yes it was intentional!
With it being my first game jam and being so new to development I knew it wouldn’t be anything special game play wise so I figured I’d be a little tongue-in-cheek about the story. :)
I’ll be updating the game a bit after the jam. Will put your feedback on my to-do list! Thanks!
What you mention about the screen being cut off is strange! I’ll look further into it and see if there is something I can update to help the game scale better once the jam is over!
Had fun with this one!
Really like the music, sound effects, and sense of progression as you finish each level!
Like MarcusFromOz mentioned - I initially had some trouble getting up the ladder in the first level as well but after a minute or so I got the feel for the jump.
Really enjoyed this one!
Would be cool to see some one time use items in the upgrade menu as well! Something to give you a competitive edge when things get hairy.
I think that’s just the game and not an issue on your end. I made the text message boxes in Photoshop and I don’t think I sized them correctly in the PSB file. I’d have to dig more into it but that’s my best guess. Definitely will consider that next time!
I will definitely be taking more time in my next jam to organize my thoughts on the front end, rather than through the development process! I chased a lot of rabbits that led me to wasting time on silly things that didn’t matter in the long run.
Had the same sort of issues as MarciFul commented but with more time and polish I could see this being a very fun platformer/metroidvania type with a powerful uplifting story behind it!
