Relaxing little platformer.
Suggestions
- Block player from moving off the edge of the map
- Place the platformers further apart or nuke jump distance, it was very easy to reach platforms
- Add super mario jump sound effect ;)
The good: Shooting feels good and reward, much of art and animation is clean.
The bad: The excessive swearing was weird and off-putting. The control scheme felt really alien and made me struggle a bit at first.
Chat box covered the on screen buttons I needed to see to know how to progress the chat box, lol. Player state machine status still active too.
Looks good, love the colors.
Some recommendations/pointers:
Things I found done well:
Programmer/px artist working in Godot still looking too.

Howdy all.
I am seeking to partner with two other individuals that are enthusiastic for this jam. While I'm not aiming to win, I am aiming to contribute heavily to the success of this said jam, while having fun and seeing what I can learn/make out of it. I'm a hobby dev, I do this in my spare time. I find it enjoyable and replaces my long hours I dump into MoBA games. That being said, I have put aside time from work for this jam specifically this year.
While some of the material is older, you can find something of my portfolio listed here.
I am looking for mainly pixel artists, and programmers. I am open to other roles as well -- I think it might be fair to say I'm looking for those individuals that can contribute meaningfully in multiple roles. As for me, I can offer the skills of a game designer, project manager, pixel artist, programmer, a rudimentary writer, and offer some experience in SFX.
A little about me:
What I'm looking for:
Feel free to respond here and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Thanks for reading! :)
You most likely won't find anyone here. The teams are 3 max, which doesn't leave room for a tester if you can't bring something else to contribute. That being said, most jams won't look for testers. By nature, games developed in games are full of bugs and are left half completed, your efforts are better spent looking for a longer term project, or perhaps a jam that lasts a month or longer.
Hope that helps.
Find a team that you can learn from potentially or create your own thing and wing it as much as possible, you will learn from the craziness of meeting deadlines. Find ways to be efficient, network, ask questions, and seek feedback. Best thing I can say for the actual jam is to organize your time, set goals and time buckets for everything. If you spill over that bucket move to the next, you will run out of time and you will have to cut corners.
I saw this too! I was trying to screen capture to share with friends because I loved the artwork and music combination, but the monster overtook me and I expected to die, but didn't.
There was also large spaces of nothingness for a while, I think you could have gotten away with a smaller map or included more obstacles!
The lack of lighter animation threw me at first, until I kind of figured out what it looked like. I think adding color from the lighter to contrast the level/artwork would have been a nice polish, and perhaps things you can burn/interact with the lighter with have some small form of color.
Also if you jump THEN try to go up the ladder, you can't. It took me way longer than I'd like to admit to figure out how to get up the ladder, lol.
