This was cool I really liked the painting of the world it looked cool and the fast movement was fun. I struggled quite a bit cuz the controls felt kinda slippery and playing a 3d platformer on mouse and keyboard was really hard for me. I liked the main game that you created and the prototype level was cool but I got stuck in the wall jump area, I found it really difficult to direct myself where I wanted to go after wall jumping. Great work on this it's super cool! Oh also it was a bit terrifying running a jam game that was just an exe file, I don't have a ton of experience exporting to non web, but I think people prefer when it's a zipped file like I see other jam submissions do.

This was a crazy huge game for a jam wow. I ended up finishing it in 52min with 61% completion and 2 deaths.

I think the art all looks really nice, it kinda reminds me of GBA games from when I was younger which I love. There is an insane amount of pixel art in this game between all the different biomes and stuff great job. One minor thing I think would improve the pixel art is fully animating the idle animation instead of squashing and stretching the sprite I think would've looked better.

The gameplay was all solid and there were a great number of new powers to unlock throughout the game. I found the wall jumping a little frustrating to pull off since you fall off the wall instantly when you point the analog stick towards the direction you're planning to jump towards, it'd be nice if you stuck to the wall for a tiny bit like super meat boy does. I liked the ability to dash twice a lot and the jumping up waterfalls was fun to spam jump. I would've really liked the fast travel to be unlocked way earlier, I found it in the final area and at that point I was ready to finish the game so I never used it.

The game was a bit too easy overall for my taste. The bomb attack does so much damage I was just one shotting everything with it and once I had 6 or 7 life I was completely ignoring the boss mechanics and just bombing them to death before they could kill me. Maybe some optional challenges would've been nice to add, I think there was some real opportunity for cool platforming challenges with the dashing, grappling hook, and double jump all being so fun to use. Altho I didn't find 40% of the items so maybe there was some tough optional stuff I never found.

I don't mean to be overally negative or anything, I just spent so much time playing this game I had a lot of thoughts I guess lol. Overall I really enjoyed playing thru your game and it is a very impressive jam entry, great work!

Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback! I'll definitely have the camera more zoomed out on my next platformer but I hadn't thought of adding binoculars like Celeste thanks for reminding me of them and for the suggestion!

I like the vibe of the game it's really cool and it was fun being a monster thing killing those dudes. I would've liked to see my own projectiles coming out of my gun it felt a little weird firing without seeing anything. I think adding a bit of coyote time for the jumps in the platforming sections would be nice too I found myself falling off the edge of the platform cuz I was trying to cut the jump too close. Overall this was really cool tho I would've definitely played more if it was longer.

This was a fun platformer, I like the ledge creation mechanic it is unique and was fun to do with doing wall jumps back and forth like you do in the end. I like the nice chill music that plays while you platform too. I'm not sure what the solution would be, but the way you have to aim the camera at where you want to create a platform made the wall jumping section slow on controller cuz I was just waiting to rotate the camera back and forth over and over and I wanted to go fast lol. Great job on this I had fun playing thru it!

This was really fun. I like both of the grappling hooks a lot, it's really satisfying to pull off the jumps that require mixing them especially once you have unlimited uses unlocked. I really struggled with the bomb, I found it kinda hard to utilize and the fact that it required looking at the ground or backwards was tough for me. I wasn't able to beat it the triple bomb wall jump section towards the end was too much for me. I like Jigoku he's a creepy friendly dude.

This is cool, I like the jar ability and the wall jumping. The irregular terrain made it pretty hard to jump up some walls tho. It was kinda hard to tell where exits from levels were especially in the browser version. I wasn't able to figure out where to go after I killed the tentacle monster, but I had fun playing. Great job!

This was fun, I really liked the rocket arm power up it was fun to blow up blocks and 1 shot the bad guys with it. I think the art looks nice and I like the retro aesthetic, tho I would really like a larger resolution or fullscreen option, I ended up zooming way in on my browser to play. I wasn't able to figure out where to go after I got the rocket arm, a lot of the rooms have similar layouts so it was hard to get my bearings for where I was or where I wanted to go. I still had fun playing this tho, great work!

This was a fun platformer. I like the wall jumping mechanic and it feels like it was well implemented and not difficult to pull off which I've seen in jam games before. I run into the same problem with my own games, but I'd try to do less blind drops, I ended up falling endlessly after walking off an edge at some point but it was the right thing to do earlier in the game so I just blindly walked off the edge lol. It'd be nice if it had a fullscreen option and I'd add screenshots and a cover image to help the game gain more traction for reviews and stuff for your future games. Overall I had fun playing this, great work!

This is a cool idea for a game, I like the exploration and the map getting bigger on a single screen idea. I also think the ascii art style looks cool. Great job on this!

This was really cool, I love the art and animations it has a really unique look to it. I especially loved the ghost guy that appeared in the save room after unlocking the laser. I thought the claustrophobia mechanic was a cool idea and I really enjoyed crowbarring everything to death. I had a bit of a buggy experience getting soft locked twice, once when standing up in a vent and then getting pushed thru the floor, and then another after beating the first mini boss I got stuck in the corner between the ceiling thing and one of the wall shooters. The boss fight was cool but it was a little hard to tell what would hurt me, once I realized to just stay away from him when he was jumping it was crowbar city for him tho. Great job on this I had fun playing thru it!

Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot to me coming from someone who made a game as awesome as yours was!

Thanks so much I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! Ya I definitely wanted to add more, I made all the levels in the last day of the jam, the path of exile 2 early access really got in the way of making this game lol. Also no prob on playing your game, I really enjoyed it and finished it up tonight!

Thanks for the kind words and for checking my game out!!

Ya I definitely should've pulled the camera back, made the same mistake in a previous game you'd think I'd learn lol. Sorry about the analog stick, I only tested it on controller after I already submitted and realized how bad it was too late. Thanks so much for the feedback and for checking my game out!

ah I thought it would be somewhere in that area, I found it! I ended up beating the game with 8 sheep found. Great job on this it was a lot of fun. Also I love your cowboy patrick avatar.

Could you give me a hint where the 3rd key is? I found the one in the city and I figured out the big green squares gave you another dash kick in the key room of the castle place, but I can't find the 3rd one for the life of me.

This game was cool, I love the little blob character he is so cute. I liked the power ups the dash was fun to use and the knife wall stick was cool. I like the art style it kinda reminds me of animal well at bit, it looks nice. I felt like the attack range for the knife was pretty low making combat really hard. I made it pretty far but I wasn't able to figure out where to go after I beat the guy that gives you the dash, I went in a big circle in the area after that and didn't find any new powers or anything. Overall I thought this was really cool, great work!

Awesome glad you enjoyed it! Ya it was originally gonna be a combat focused game but I ran out of time to make enemy sprites so I pivoted and made it a platformer lol. Sorry about all the blind jumps, I tried to make the fall speed slow to help out. Thanks for checking the game out!

This game was awesome, the combat felt great and I really liked all the visual effects that gave the game more juice. I like the dash orb mechanic a lot it's fun to do, the timing for chaining a dash afterwards is a bit tight it'd be nice if you didn't start falling for a tiny bit after dashing thru an orb to make dashing afterwards easier. I love the art style and the nice piano soundtrack felt very fitting giving the game an overall great vibe. Great work on this I really enjoyed playing thru it! Keith the rat was my favorite lol

Oh lol, I didn't know those were vault pads! I ended up doing a roll wall kick from the ledge and that let me still have another roll wall kick in the air and I was able to make it work eventually. If my progress is still saved I'll probably go back at some point to try and finish it, I figured there was something I was missing.

This game is crazy huge for a jam game wow. I like the art style and all the different mechanics were fun to unlock as a went along. The level design was interesting and it was cool to see the different ways to use the unlocked mechanics to solve puzzles and progress. The city level felt a bit overwhelming with options when I first got there cuz it felt like there were beds all over the place and so many options of where to explore, but I managed to figure it out and find the key in there. I thought the room where you get the dash wall kick was crazy hard to get out of, I almost gave up there but managed to get out eventually.

I made it pretty far into the game, I had all the powers unlocked I think and 1 of the keys, but I couldn't figure out where to go I couldn't hit 2 of the crystals with my shot in a big room cuz they were outside the shooting range. Overall great job on this, it's very impressive for a jam game!

This was awesome, I like the art style a lot it reminds me of hollow knight a bit. I thought the needle power up was cool and I liked the double jump, tho I kinda wish it was just a normal double jump instead of having to hold attack to use it, it felt a little awkward. I really like the boss music it was a banger, all the music was good but I felt like the first song didn't fit the vibe of the game super well. I liked looking for secrets to find the level up statue things, but it felt unfair that some of the balls could bounce into the acid and I'd lose them. Overall this was very fun, great work!

Oh also, I really wish you could move with the left analog stick instead of just dpad, and I like your username I think it is funny lol

This was a lot of fun, swinging around with the grappling hook felt great. The music and art were both cool I think the game has a great vibe to it. It was a little hard to figure out where to go at times or remember where I had been cuz some of the rooms feel a bit same-y, but I beat the game in 11:49 with 100% milks collected cuz I wandered around so much haha. Great job on this it's very fun!

This was a lot of fun, the art and music gave the game a cool vibe. I liked the combat and teleport mechanic, but some of the enemies felt like they had a little too much hp I was just teleporting thru them most of the game. The boss fight was really hard it took me like 5 tries but I finally got it! I think the gravity on the jump is a bit aggressive, made the platforming pretty hard. I also didn't realize you could teleport in other directions and thought the game was impossible until I read your comment below saying you could teleport up and diagonally, I'd probably mention that in the description page of the game to help future players. Overall tho great job on this it was fun.

This is really cool, the art and music gives the game a nice castlevania-y vibe I liked it. The combat felt nice and it was fun to explore the world, I really liked the dash roll it was fun to spam it. I couldn't figure out where to go after I got the dash, but I had fun playing! I would've liked some options for attack and dash on the left side of the keyboard somewhere cuz I prefer to play with arrow keys for movement and left hand for attack and jump and stuff. Great job on this!

Haha ya it was supposed to be like one of those mining hardhats with a light on it lol. An honor to receive a review from the jam host, thanks for checking the game out!

Very cool idea, I like the art style a lot and I felt like my brain was working at maximum capacity trying to plan stuff out for multiple worms. I liked the gradual increase in difficulty, but I gave up on the 2nd to last level I was too dumb to figure it out lol. I think adding an undo mechanic like baba is you has would be great, tho I know that's a lot to ask for a jam game. Great job on this!

Thank you! It was my first time trying out the isometric art style for a game, it was fun. Definitely ran out of time for a lot of things in the game, but wanted to share what we could get done :) Thanks for checking the game out!

Do you have any samples of your work anywhere I could check out?

Maybe someday, we're all currently just having fun doing game jams and improving our skills. Thanks for checking the game out!

This is a cool concept! I like the art and breaking the blocks is satisfying, cool list of ideas for what you plan to add in the future too. I can totally relate to having big ambitions but not having time to execute it all in the jam period haha. Great work on this!

This was cool, I liked all the different attack patterns of the different enemies and the mage design was cute. I kinda wish it auto charged your spell when you were on a 1 cuz I just held down the j key the entire time I played thru the game. Great job on this!

This was a fun puzzle game and I love the cute little pencil guy. I got stuck on the 4th level and had to have a friend help me out cuz I didn't realize you could add blocks once he's moving. After I knew that tho I beat it, great work!

Nice puzzly platformer, I had fun playing thru it. I think the clone mechanic is cool. I appreciate that you added arrow keys for movement too I have a hard time using wasd for platformers. I'd maybe add a fade transition on death cuz it's a little jarring and I'd prefer if it just automatically went to the next level instead of having to click the button after each level. Great job!

This was fun, but it'd be nice if it had some more mechanics to give it some more depth. I liked the spooky pumpkin enemies and it was fun to shoot them. It'd be nice if you could hold click to fire continuously, I have bad wrists so anything that is spam clicking the whole game is kinda rough for me. Great job!

This was fun! It's a pretty simple concept but it's well executed and the music and art really make it feel polished. It was very satisfying to get multiple ghost hunters in the room and scare them all at once. Great job!

Really nice job on this! I liked the mix of metroidvania with platforming and I thought the tools you got were cool especially the jetpack fire extinguisher. The art looks nice and I liked the particles in the water. I wish there were some harder sections or maybe some optional collectables that were harder to get as overall I thought the game was pretty easy. Also idk if I'm weird but I really wish you could use arrow keys to move instead of only wasd. Overall very impressive work on this, great job!

This was cool! I like the neon art style and the music fits the game well. I thought the minigames were fun too. I found myself getting frustrated by the entity, it didn't feel like there was a lot of heads up that it was coming so it pretty much always put me back in the room to do the lights out minigame. I thought it was a little weird that the 3 and 4 buttons don't light up in a plus sign like all the other buttons for that minigame. Overall this was really cool! Great work!

whoops thanks for letting me know, didn't realize the font was black my dark mode addon was making it a different color.
