Love the music. Would dance again.
not quite done with it yet, but liking the art and music a lot. would love some variable-height jumping in this. what does the music-changing flower do if not invincibility? that was my mario-based assumption and i killed myself on many things testing it!
The only effect it has is what you see. Our original design was to have an alien using drugs, so we just kept it in there to distract the player(trippy drug).
Nice platformer. The physics worked pretty well, although the slopes were pretty dodgy.
The music was pretty awesome.
eat plant, trip out, kill self. this is a morality play
can you make a linux build, please?
I like the rave candy, although I think it should make you temporary invincible.
Mechanics were really great! Loved it!
I had a lot of fun playing this game. I enjoyed the different upgrades especially the reverse one, great work!
Never thought I'd hear someone saying they enjoyed the reverse upgrade, hehe :).
hey, thanks for the linux build! works perfect :) also, nice game, the candies on the floor reminds me the game zool, haha
What a clever platformer. The music is amazing and the cuteness of the alien is of the charts. Very very very good game.
Still needs some polishing, but it's still good.
After a while I played this just for the candy. Very, very funny. I would have liked check points and fewer difficult/frustrating jumps so early in the game but overall it was quite nice.
Pretty good game! It was really hard though, but I'm sure you meant for it to be hard. I got fooled by the first reverse powerup like 3 times in a row even though I knew it was there. xD
Nice graphics!! The floaty jump bothers me a bit, but just because I like falling fast to the ground, haha. I don`t like the idea of a pick-up Item that does nothing ( Trippy drug ) . But overall , very nice work , keep it up! =D
OH GOD IT'S THE NINETIES AGAIN. Reversed controls! Flashing coloured raves! But the alien is really adorable (the squeak as he/she/it/they dies!), the intro is fantastic, and the platforming is fun. Great music too! Nice work for the jam!
Nice funny game :) Congrats!
Loved yours powerups!
Stage 2 is too hard >_<
I really like all the pickups! They give the game really good feel, like in the old platformers. The game is however quite hard, mainly because of low gravity and slippery slopes. Good level design, as well as choice of art. Nice!
We all appreciate the comments! The game was designed to have a Mario Bros type feel, but be more difficult. Our target player is a true gamer with victory on his/her mind! We plan to add even more levels after this LD is over. I'm curious to know how many of our players made it to the end :)
Instant good mood! Thanks for that game, some powerups reminded me of the dreamcast icon. :)
It's a nice touch to have lots of temporary power ups! I also really enjoyed the snowy world. Nice work!
Nice mechanics and well presented! Great fun to play - that reverse mechanic is really tricky!! Very cool.
Pretty smooth.
That was funny and weird :D The jumping control was a bit tricky but I still enjoyed playing it a lot. Nice work!
I hate you! :) No really, lots of fun :)
I like this game!
Simple and with administration of powerUp !
Simple art and good way to teach to play.
Congrats!
Really trippy! I liked the music. Especially the rave part.
The difficulty felt just right. Not so easy that you can get it first time, but not so hard that it feels impossible. When I fail it feels like my fault rather than the game, which is spot on. Nice work.
Thank you for your game. It was fun to play.
What a trip! I liked the visuals and the music. The controls needed a bit of getting used, especially the jumping.
Thanks again for the feedback, we all really appreciate it :D
Wow! The graphics are very tender! Great mapping and good objects! Really nice work!
Cute, fun, and I died on those silly spikes several times. Still enjoyed it and would play again. So many games, so little time...
I dig the idea of the temporary power-ups being critical to world navigation.
True hardcore!
These reversed controls are soooo weird! It made me angry you know :D Great concept of compositions of bonuses, it makes the game really hard.
Good job!
Nice temporary boosts. Movement felt a little off though. Graphics and music were great!
Great game! Loved the stoned alien XD
Glad to see Kenny's art in a game, its very colorful. I really liked the flower-induced rave mode. Controls were a little tricky, but the level design was good. Nice work!
Very cute tradition platformer. Loved that crazy candy in the second level that makes you trip out XD
Really funny game! I love the power-ups! Good job!
I've got one word for you: checkpoints.
That said, I wish the trippy flashing colors and music were there throughout. That was fun. :3
Great game, nice art and music and good job on controls, they are pretty smooth.
Very nice and pretty challenging platformer, love the snow :)
Nice music and the main character is ultra lovely <3
We are happy to hear back that most of you found our game challenging and fun! That is our main goal! I'm curious to see how many hardcore gamers made it to the end! :D :D
Love the character. Didn't pass 2nd level (azerty here).
Nice little jump'n run.
It isn't working on my work PC, I'll have to try when I get home. After the ship crashes I just have a black screen. If I hit enter, I can hear the level restart. Music is catchy, though!
Loved the floating octopuses XD Good game! :D
Yayyy! The Octopussies were my creation! Thank you, everyone!
I truly suck at this, but the psychedelic powerups were great!
Nice Game.
Maybe I suck but i find it hard!
Still, it's a fun game with classic but solid mechanics and a nice cute execution!
temporary power-ups is a good idea. I think jump is too slow for a fast die and retry, but it's only my opinion....
Cool looking game with very nice gameplay :)
That's quite a challenging platformer to an old guy with bad reflexes. However, I enjoyed some of the powerups, even if the reverse direction one broke my brain. Nice art style too.
Fun platformer with unusual powerups :)
I had some trouble with how the physics worked on sloped tiles, but other than that it was enjoyable.
This is awesome. I think the mechanic of temporary power-ups all over the place are great.
The first level was a well-planned introduction to the power-ups it contains.
Then I hit the second level and it said to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpaZU4Q3Ubk
and I died. A lot. Maybe a more gradual difficulty curve?
Overall awesome game. Also, the music is GREAT!
Loved graphics and music ! Made me think a lot about Happy Tree Friends ! (especially when you die...hahaha that's so hard !)
Great overall, the mechanics are pretty cool and the gameplay often switch from one to another. In two words : Liked it !
Some of the best music I've seen in a game made in a jam :)
That dance music... what's wrong with you? ;)
really nice platformer! music is so positive and it suits great to the game. it doesn't make you angry even if you die which is actually a hard thing to accomplish. good job :D !
I've enjoyed reading everyone's comments! Great to see hardcore gamers up for a challenge!
I like music and some effects like the snow. Nice yet simple platformer. Smooth and fun but theme related? Good game as conclusion.
Eruiz, How far did you get in the game? There's a mountain world, a winter world, a metropolis world, and a sea world. Each level is connected to the last world :) I hope you actually played it!
Why am I such a masochist? I loved every second of it. Up until the gundam killed me in level 4. Sometimes I felt like the levels were too long which is weird to say for a LD game. Also I really liked level 2, it showed good use of multiple routes depending on the powerup you have. I would've liked to see more of that.
Nice game play.
I know it was a small thing, but I just loved how shakey the ship was on the intro where the ship crashed, really great.
Also loved the level design and temporary power up system, kept the controls system but allowed the mechanics to be flexible and consistently feel fresh. One of my favorite parts was when the high jump and reverse powerup were next to eachother-but you had to get them both to be able to jump up the tree, was a really cool use of them.
Not a good enough gamer to make it all the way to the end but loved all my time with it regardless :).
the music is great!!!,, i like the graphics and atmosphere,,, maybe you can left more fast the gameplay, but the game is great,,, incredible to 48 hs. congrats
Nice music. Simple good hard game. Well done guys!
I ate a lollipop and suddenly everything was in flashy rainbow colors and awesome music. Paired with keys being reversed and playing in a dark room, it was kinda tripy.
Love the music and great graphics!
Nice graphics, but the difficulty was so high that I didn't end up seeing some of the cool stuff in the screenshots. :(
I really liked the music when the snow level started. SEIZURE WARNING though, that screen-flashing effect could be dangerous.
Well done. I died a lot xD
Haha, I loved the trippy dancey pick up! Although I kept getting confused and dying when the reverse control pick up went back to normal, cool sub though! Good job and nice use of Kenney's assets! They always make a game look pretty :D
fun game
got the golden coin, wanted to see the end and...UNITY CRASHED OMG T T
I liked the music and particle effects. It certainly was difficult :) Fun game, I enjoyed it.
Really like the temp powerup idea. The music in level 2 was a bit overly dramatic :)
So sweeeeet! Really nice work! Congrats!
I ate plants :D Normally we something else with them around these parts... water them.
Mechanics were pretty solid and the pickups were fun to play with. Pretty difficult too! Great game overall :)
That was pretty fun, but very challenging. It would have been great if the octopuses made you bounce when you landed on them. It was also a bit frustrating when you would catch on the edge of something or land on a certain angle and couldn't move or jump except fall / slide to your death. Great music and artwork though! The powerup system was a great idea and proved to keep the gameplay interesting.
The powerups add a great twist. Very impressive level design and presentation!
Yeah, very challenging, but powerups are nice and the weird opposite direction powerup was quite cool!
Lovely graphics and music! I like the disco pills :) The only thing I don't like are the inverted controls. They frustrate me. Still a cool entry. Nice work!
I love the graphics and the gameplay, but the flashing screen gave me a headache =/ The difficulty was spot on for me :)
ok graphics, amazing musics. Nice gameplay. Not so much of theme connection, though;
man that was hardcore lol, nice game though, good job :)
Funny platformer with good difficulty and fun powerups.
Congrats on your game! Kenny Wings! This games looks and sounds great and the powerups are a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the switched controls powerups, which took some time to get used to. Cheers, Ben.
Wow, love the different powerups. Brilliant!
Nice game :)
Cute platformer - loved the modifiers system.
Great music! Solid gameplay, good work!
Great game, sometimes too hard for me (but tell me, why does igloo reset the level. Isn't it supposed to be checkpoint?
Loved the beat man :)
Putting a reversing-direction-swirl and an up-arrow on the same place is just mean :)
I hadn't really reflected on this before, but making it so you can't change direction when jumping is not so fun. Interesting.
You are able to change direction when you are jumping unless you ran and jumped at full speed.
Just double checked, you can change direction when jumping at any speeds.
Really nice music. Good job.
Nice platformer! I really liked the variety of power-ups and the level design. And the audio when invincible was awesome!! Good work!
That twirly icon rainbow music is the best!
alien trippin' balls while running in reverse. the creators be the devil hisself
Very fun game, love the 'not so good' powerups, and the party-ups! :D Good learning curve, cute alien-guy. Tops!
I absolutely loved the music. The graphics were fine, gameplay was slick, although very generic platformer stuff. The was very straightforward platformer but with good execution which is always good.
Cool simple platformer. I liked the variety of powerups, but some of them could last a bit longer. I saw some graphics glitches (seams in the tiles) but nothing major. Great music too. Good job!
Music and graphics where great, really loved the style. 'Puzzles' where interesting, if not a bit frustrating.
I like the music. the graphics were simple and inviting. It felt like platforming on the moon, and I guess that was point. Congrats on submitting your entry.
fun game, nice icethetics
Nice game, but the part with the rave candy just got in my nerves. I didn't rage quit, but I almost did. Playing long levels without dying is just mean, especially how beautiful this game is just adds irony. It's a beautiful game, but it's misleading due to it's difficult play. I'm okay with hard games, but only when I'm in a good mood.
Really good audio. I thought the game was hard, but the level design had some nice touches!
Wow. That's a lovely platformer. And hard. And the music, just wow.
The music, the bright colors, the huge jumps... I don't know why, but it reminded me of the old amiga game "james pond II". (And that was before it became both flashy AND super hard)
Too bad there is no real connection with the theme
Thanks again for the feedback! Glad to see some hardcore gamers liked it! :)
Fun game, enjoyed the way you had to use the temporary powerups.
Absolutely hilarious thank you so much! Definitely one of my faves so far, I nearly squirted water out my nose when I chewed that candy on level 2, you have a wicked streak that is tempered by an aesthetic sense that is also very strong ;) 5/5
SO GOOOOOOOD
Good job on the game.
Other then a few bugs with the collisions, the only thing I can complain about is that I wanted a better indication of when the (de)buffs where about to run out.
Uff! Finally finished!! That was hard haha
I like challenging games and this is a good challenge. I don't know if this is part of the hardness, but the character doesn't jump if he is on an edge and he becomes slippery... that's kind of annoying :P
The powerups feature is really cool and I liked, although the reverse item can be hateful hahaha
Nice work :D
The fun sounds remind me of FFVII ! It gets quiet after the flower trip music ends.
A very nice little game, I love the flower trip!
The little guy was adorable...so sad when he died :) The reverse controls power-up took a while to get used to...
very funny game over all. great music. i found the concept of the added abilities very interessting. would like to see more of it!
Some nice ideas... but the theme? Good platform anyway.
I love jump and runs.
Lovely music and graphics. So unfair but so addictive!
Overall pretty nice. Had some issues with slopes, which I saw someone else mentioned, but otherwise it was pretty solid.
Good audio and graphics. Quite buggy, a bit too difficult and fits the theme very loosely.
Good graphics nice music and fun gameplay! what more can be needed??! Good job on this.
Pretty awesome music, I loved getting the candy swirl thingies just for the tune :D
I love the idea of temporary power ups. Where are the connected worlds, though?
The music and graphics is cool, I like the techno effect ;)
The game is very fun and hard! hahaha! Congrats!
Music is great, gameplay is solid. Nice to see Kenney's art in use :)
Pretty neat idea with the temporary powerups. I think something like that could be useful for a mobile game as well. The power flower or whatever it was that started the party mode was hilarious. But why couldn't I kill the enemies when I was huge? :P Cool little game! Couldn't really see the theme connection though.
Great graphics and music. Hmm, the alien looks somehow familiar :P Nice powerups, too bad I got the confusing one too often :D
Oh man, it's so hard! I usually play all the way through LD games, especially platformers, but I'm stuck on level 2 feeling like I keep getting randomly killed, usually by sliding off a platform. I think the core idea is great, the music is awesome, and the level design looks good, I just want a little more control on the ground and variable-height jumps. Maybe I will come back and try again...
really good music!
Nice work!
Nice game. I love fun pill %)
It was definitely a hardcore platformer in that I was frustrated by the second level, but I also felt like I learned and made progress, so it wasn't punishing.
Lol, cool idea with powerups. Also, level-design is pretty good: it's devoid of common gamedesign mistakes.
Nice little game! I can't really rate you for the graphics as I know they're free ones - but apart from that good job :)
Nice pickups and overall platforming, great to have a web
build available. Nice audio and graphics as well!
Cool game.
Nice controls, cool and consistent graphics and I loved your audio. :)
Nice job. Really like the idea of the control changes. Interesting.
Super polished platformer. It's a lot of content for 72 hours. Great musics too!
Haha, great music, good concept with the funny extras and effects. Nice one.
Reverse Controls: The Game. But seriously, the main challenge consists of coping with the controls getting reversed and reversed back to normal again after a random duration all the time. Also the jumping is quite floaty and edges quite slippery.
But besides that I really liked the various powerups (EXCEPT REVERSE CONTROLS) and the ending music is really groovy.
A lot of these levels are more frustrating than fun, nevertheless a very fine, entertaining and polished entry.
Went from simple, easy and happy in the first level, to epic, hard, and complex in the second. Not that its a bad thing, just i never made it passed the second level. I liked all the different mechanics that were added in. and that none of it felt out of place.
Great game! Loved the music, graphics and power ups!
Love this game. I got stuck on stage 2 but I really love the power ups, especially the 'trippy trippy trippy party mode' I got when I ate the flower (don't know the item name but it was hilarious all the same)
