This was lots of fun! I loved the color palette and sound effects. The different faces were similar enough that I couldn't just mindlessly click around, but different enough that I could find the criminal and have time to find a good opportunity to click. Great job!
Awesome game! This is one of my favorites so far! I loved the controls, the time slow down effect, and the creative take on the theme!
This is a great puzzle game and has big speedrunning potential, which I love! I agree with everyone else- this has a lot of potential to be a longer game!
Thanks for the feedback! I haven't done much with polish and art in the past, so I'm glad it paid off. Supahermes did a great job with the character animations!
The difficulty is way too high, especially for a game jam. Precise platforming, limited time, and huge punishment for messing up don't work together haha. Something I'll focus on in future game jams!
Thanks! The game is definitely hard- I should have saved time for someone else to playtest (Supahermes, the other guy who worked on this, only got to try the complete thing once it was submitted, and he couldn't finish it either). I've played almost exclusively platformers (also a White Palace fan in Hollow Knight), so that probably affected my idea of how hard it is.
The game is really short- I can finish it in about a minute and a half usually. However, the amount of punishment makes it take way longer than that if I mess up. I think that "lots of punishment" and "precision platformer" don't go together so well...
Having the fires serve as checkpoints is a good idea!
FishCrate was lots of fun! The seals are terrifying!
Landing on fireplaces was intentional! I tried to make it so harder platforming had smaller falls, and the fireplaces helped with that. I thought of making them covered at one point, but that made the game too painful-I didn't want people to have to restart the whole game every time they froze.
Lots of fun! I finished the whole game; The final level was really fun once I got the hang of it. Like lots of other people, I struggled with the ice blocks on level 3, but I kind of just kept playing until I made it through.
Great art and visuals! I struggled to push penguins into the water, but that's probably just a skill issue haha. Amazing level of polish though, and a really nice take on the theme!
Thanks for the feedback! I really should have added gamepad support...Maybe after the jam. I'm glad you liked the puzzle elements, and I hope you can keep having fun trying to beat it in the future-it's definitely a challenge!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the art and sound- got to give Hudson (Supahermes) credit for a lot of that.
That's a hard jump to get past, and it's hard to practice because the game punishes you quite a bit for falling. I definitely should have had more playtesting!
If you liked rage games, definitely try out FishCrate if you haven't yet! It's another great submission!
Thanks so much! I was really worried about the difficulty of the game, especially given that it doesn't give you much instruction. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I was definitely worried about having to use the freezing to your own advantage, especially with how quickly you can lose progress. Glad to hear that you figured it out!
Your game was awesome and super polished-I'm happy that this reminds you of it! :)
The controls were really good (even pushing around the crate). The seals are terrifying-me and my friend were having so much fun racing! I'm excited for the other days of the advent calendar!
I'm definitely coming back to this to speedrun it. Hopefully I can get #1 on the leaderboard!
Thanks! I actually spent an entire day of the jam coding slopes, glad to hear that they worked well. I definitely want to work on telegraphing the ground placements.
This game is so polished, and the puzzles are incredible. I had an "aha!" moment on the last puzzle, and it felt so good to finish! The mechanics all work together really well, and there are so many puzzles.
I loved playing this game! I loved the story and the humor. It is really well polished. I think it was just the right difficulty, which is really hard to do in a game jam.
Maybe use grid based movement to make it easier to move around? That would make it easier to make interactions more precise, and I think that it would fit the art style very well.
This is incredible!!! I loved the graphics and music. I thought it fit the theme really well, because of the power ups. You never know what the next level is going to be like, and the gravity is also flipped. The controls are super nice feeling, too. It took me a while to figure out that you had to grapple into the doors, but the line that connects you to things you can grapple helped me understand.
I loved the story, and this fits the theme very well! The mouse controls were very fun, and I liked the art style. It would be nice if there was some way to fight the enemies, or a dash to escape more easily.
