Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I'd like to revisit this mechanic sometime and I'll definitely keep your advice in mind when I work on improving the grappling mechanic.

Thank you so much! I've been waiting for someone to comment on the death animation for Penguino, haha I love it too! Thanks for playing :)

Wow I didn't think I'd get a review from the legendary Booba! My original idea was that the penguin was going to surf on water :) Not sure how I pivoted to a grappling hook from there haha. Thanks for playing!

This is an awesome platformer. I really love the art, especially the title screen, the seal is so cute I love it! The gameplay is a lot of fun, it's got a nice flow to it once you're able to play thru a level just bouncing on targets and dashing thru gates without landing on the floor. I think the only constructive criticism I thought of that I haven't seen mentioned in the comments already, is that there should probably be a max fall speed set, when I was trying to bounce on a target from high above it I'd be falling super fast by the time I got to the target and it made it really hard to time when to attack. Overall tho, this was great and I had a lot of fun playing thru every level of it!

Thank you for the feedback! I'd like the revisit this mechanic some time so I'll definitely keep your advice in mind when I try to improve it's feel.

This game is awesome. The art is really great, I especially like the character design of the alien you play as and the space ship at the beginning was great. The gameplay is fun and I liked the water sucking mechanic to fight the police and stuff. Great job on this I had fun playing thru it!

This game is really cool. I like the retro art style a lot. I think it's a lot of fun to drive the sub around, tho it'd be nice if I could see a little further ahead, maybe that's my fault for being addicted to driving this sub at max speed all the time tho. I wasn't 100% sure what to do in the game, I drove my sub to the coordinates of one of the boxes on the map, but I didn't find anything there and then I died on my way to another square. That's ok tho I still had fun cruising around in my sub. Great job on this!

This is a great puzzle platformer. The art is really great and I like the rain effect. The puzzles ramp up in difficulty pretty nicely without getting to be frustratingly difficult like I find a lot of puzzle games towards the end. Adding coyote time to the jumps would make them feel better, it felt like my input was eaten on a couple jumps. Great job on this, I usually give up on puzzle games halfway thru, but I played this one til the end!

This is awesome, it took me a few tries but I got out of there without drowning. Great job!

I love the art in this game, the long rotated arm is so funny.  This is exactly how I drink water, definitely very human.

This is great, I love the dancing crabs and it's so funny to me when the music cuts out while you hide from the bird. Great job on this!

This is an awesome platformer. I played thru normal and hard mode and had a great time. Some of the last jumps on the last level on hard were really tough, but the checkpointing is pretty nice so I wasn't having to redo too much which was very nice. The art all looks great, I like the design of aquabot. I like the boost mechanic, but it took me a bit to figure out that you want to use it at the start of your jump to maximize how high it sends you, it'd be nice if it was more consistent so you know for sure how high pressing the boost button will send you. I think the control scheme is a little weird, I prefer to use arrow keys for movement when I play platformers so it was kind of a bummer that down on the arrow keys was the boost button. I think it'd be a good idea to set a maximum fall speed as well, there's a lot of blind drops in this game and once the player starts falling really fast you don't have any time to try and avoid obstacles.

This is awesome tho, I had a great time playing thru it!

This is a fun platformer, I really enjoyed the mechanic to switch states, tho I wish the cooldown was a bit shorter cuz I had to stand around waiting to use the cloud sometimes. The art looks great and there is a good amount of levels for a jam game too. Great job on this!

This is awesome! I like the idea of throwing the gold fish out and it could lead to some really interesting puzzles with being able to land back in the suit and walk around. The art in this game is fantastic too. Great job on this!!

This was cool, it was fun pulling stuff around and I liked the different physics with the ice and the stone blocks being pulled around. Great job!

This game looks amazing and it's fun to float around with the jet pack. Great job!

I love all the silly characters and their dialogue.  That one fish was so offended that I told him he should wear some pants lol. Great job!

This is awesome, I had a really good time playing thru it. I can't imagine how hard it'd be if you played on normal mode, I beat the game using like 60 save and loads on the clown mode lol. Great job this is really fun!

This is cool, I really like the pixel art it looks great. It's super hard, I wasn't able to beat the rising slime haha. Great job on this!

This is a cool crafting game! It took me a bit to realize how everything worked, but it was fun to buy all the upgrades once I figured it out. I think the mining speed is a bit slow, it's better once you get the upgrades but it starts off really slow, and some tool tips for what the upgrades do would be nice, I think I got all of them. Great job on this!

This was fun, I ended up with a score of 9400. I like the flame enemy sprite and it's death animation turning blue when they die is cool. I think the sound effect that's played when you shoot water is a bit too loud or something, it's a lot to listen to on repeat while playing. Great job on this I had fun with it!

This was fun, I crafted all 3 relics and I can totally relate to the 5 A.M. crunch to finish the game lol. I really like the art, especially the background is really cool. The machine gun is really fun to kill stuff with, I used that and the sword mostly tho it took me a while to be able to hit stuff with the sword. Really awesome job on this!

This game is great. I love the whole concept of it and the art is fantastic. The angry prawn sprites are so good I love them. I don't have anyone to play against, but it was still cool to knock out a prawn. Great job on this!

This game is awesome, it's really fun to spear the fish and the upgrades feel pretty meaningful making the fishing more fun. The art is great too! My coins were set to null one time and on my next run the game froze, but outside of the occasional bug this game is great!

This was a really fun platformer. It is really hard and the checkpoints are really sparse, but I managed to beat the whole game. The path on the right in the submarine is insane, I gave up and took the left path lol. I really like the vibe that's created between the art style and the music. I like having nice calming music for these super hard games like this. I think the spike hitboxes are a bit big, it's kinda hard to tell if you're going to hit them usually, especially when you are doing the dash between a spike tunnel. Overall tho this was really fun, I had a good time playing thru it.

This is pretty fun, you're right it is really hard lol. I wasn't able to make it past the giant cloud boss. Great job on this!

Great work on this, there's an impressive amount of content for a game jam game! I especially like the mechanic of delivering contraband, it makes the delivery a lot more exciting once you're getting chased by the other ships. It'd be nice if the UI reminded you somehow that it was getting too late, it seemed like it was getting darker but I couldn't remember what time I needed to be back the first night and I fell asleep at sea. This is really awesome tho, great job!

The baby duck is so cute! Great job on this, the water effect is really cool.

The pixel art in this game is incredible. I am pretty bad at the whack a mole gameplay lol, my high score was only like 52. Great job on this!

This is great, I really like the art style and the 2d sprites in a 3d world look really cool. I got stuck at a part where I went thru a blue portal and then there was a big crab pit below me and I wasn't sure how to get past it. Not a big deal tho, I had fun playing until I got stuck at that part. Great work on this!

This is a cool game jam entry! I enjoyed reading about space and stuff while I dodged the asteroids and debris. I accidentally let my approach angle get to big at the last second and lost, but that's alright I still enjoyed playing thru this. Awesome job!

This is a fun platformer. I like the water rising mechanic and I think it's cool that it starts rising once you blow up one of the barrels and spring a leak. The art is great and the player controls well. I do think it's a bit too dark, it was kinda hard to see some of the platforms on my monitor. Great job on this it is fun!

This is great. I like the variety in the levels with all the different enemy types you created and the level getting chased by the giant whale was awesome. I did not expect to be participating in an axloltl battle to the death today, but I'm glad I did. I like the pixel art a lot, and the lighting you used makes the game look great. Great job on this!

This is awesome, really impressive work for a 9 year old wow. I wish I was making games like this when I was that young haha. Great job!

This game is great! Using the water whip to kill stuff and block projectiles is a lot of fun. It starts out a little slow with a bit of waiting for enemies to spawn, but once I was further in the game it was getting really hectic trying to defend my ice crystal thing. Awesome job on this it is a lot of fun!

This is a lot of fun, it took me a few tries but I managed to win with a time of 135.13. I love the title and the premise for this game it is great. Good job on this!

This was fun, I had a good time helping the turtle dodge everything. Great job finishing your first game jam!

This was a fun platformer. It gets pretty tough at the end I wasn't able to beat it but I did see the end so I was pretty close! I'd maybe get a bigger spike asset, the spikes on the ceiling are kinda hard to see since they're so small. I'd look into adding coyote time for the jumps too. Great job completing your first game!

This game is awesome! It is so polished for a game jam entry wow. I did not expect the story to get so dark. The card game is fun, it's really fun to get both of the shape boosters and do a bunch of damage.  The art is all great too. Really great job on this!

This game is really cool. I liked upgrading my fisherman to catch bigger fish and it's fun watching the cast when it's going super far. I think the art all looks great, the cover art is amazing. I do think it looks a bit inconsistent in game at times, like the character is really low resolution, but then fish you are catching are super high resolution and I think that looks a little off. Idk I'm no expert on pixel art and I do love all the art in this game it looks great! Awesome job on this!
