Love the colour pallete for this game! Very cute graphics.
Not sure if I just didn't get to it, but that bridge to me needs something reaching up out of that canyon to grab the players!
I would really like to see this developed into a huge map with different routes through the world (to a variety of princes.
It kind of reminds me of a story book, especially down to the different still poses of the characters. the one on the log is my personal favorite.
Great work and the very best of luck in the competition. Thanks for making this!

This is really well done. Definitely takes be back to those old LCD games and G&W classics. The graphics and audio are very fitting. Nice job!

The graphics is a unique style and look good. The game would be more fun with move control over movement besides the character jumping to predefined points in the level.

@AlexVsCoding
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, a bridge monster is a great idea for an obstacle. I might very well add that.
Glad you see the story behind it. I tried to make it so it would act out well whichever direction you'd choose to walk.
Once again thanks. I'll make sure to check out your jam entry (;
@rogberth
Thanks man. Glad to hear that!

The music is awesome. Nice job.
I really liked this. I've been looking forward to this one since I saw the screencap earlier. The art is really nice, and it bears enough resemblance to a play structure that it can be interpreted as two little girls playing make-believe, which is an ambiguity I really like.
I would really like to see this turned into a rhythm-based puzzle. As it stands, it can be played by waiting for the right moments to mash left or right all the way across.

@misto423
Thanks! Glad to hear you appreciate this kind of games [:
@Hicksk
Thank you. Indeed, the game doesn't offer much variation of gameplay. This is part because I wanted to make a resemblance of the old G&Ws, where you in most cases would be able to move only left or right. If I make something like this again, I might add more variation though (:
@Thommy
Glad you like it! (;
@RainbowSexyFish
I'm honored to hear that you've been looking forward to this 'o'
That's right. There is no back story, and therefore the story can be interpreted as one would wish. And indeed your version sounds really fitting to the style (:
My previous game, Dereck, is a rhythm-based puzzle. Maybe I could try mixing them somewhat together in the next compo.
Once again, thanks a lot!
Nice source of inspiration, though I beat it 5 times before I figured out one could actually fail to the snowman. Making him more aggressive could maybe have solved that.
I love this. Great graphics, great music and lots of fun. Nice evolution of the original Game&Watch concept.

I really like this one! One of my favourites so far :)
It's great that you have even put the menu on the same screen.
It reminds me of the old nintendo game and watch games, like the octopus. :)
Well done and good luck!

@Tinimations
I think you might've rated the wrong game :P There is no aggressive snowman in mine.
@oh_andrej
Thanks man! Glad you like it!
@lisac
Thanks, I'm really happy to hear that! Yeah, the octopus is one of my main inspirations for the game! Well observed(;

Lovely game x)
Nice design. Quite simple, but good use of the theme.

@ehtd & @Domicuc
Thanks!
@oh_cripes
Thanks mate. Yep, it's simple, but should get pretty challenging at about 25-40 points.

Awesome! The Game and Watch is strong in this one. When is the handheld coming out?
You've nailed the Game & Watch feel here. Nice work!

Love the music. Also, for those of you dissing the gameplay - Find a Game & Watch ;D

Perfect match for the theme and superb music.
It would be even better if it could be played on smartphones.

Awesome style on the graphics, the mechanics aren't so intuitive tough, but is not a real problem. I would like to see this kind of graphics on other games.
Nice job.
Beautifuf game and good feeling.
I really like the colors, setting and the appearance altogether. Rescuing a prince playing as a princess is a great idea and feels just right!

Wow. Definitely my favorite interpretation of the theme! And with great music to boot!

@Krisjet:
Thanks! Great idea, I'll try to make that happen soon!
@Figglewatts, @Eduardo:
Thanks!
@Webravenz:
Thanks glad you liked it! Happy to hear someone played it till all three obstacles played together (;
@Double Zero One Zero:
Thanks! Inedeed, a Game & Watch should be mandatory in every home
@K.Chplr:
Thank you, I'll try to make that happen! Glad you found the music superb [;
@renatopp:
Thank you. Indeed, the mechanics are quite simple. Might do something a bit more advanced next time.
@Instant Noodles:
Thank you, good sir.
@SirRicecake:
Cool, thanks! Yeah, time to steer away from the stereotypical fairytail.
@gelisam:
Thanks man! That really means a lot!
@Murchurl:
Thanks mate! The game in itself is quite simple. Get all the way to the right to rescue the prince. Get back to the castle, and score a point. The game's difficulty increases gradually.

Took me a while to understand what was really going on. Gets fun after a few rounds, though :) Nice!

This just makes me happy! Great use of the theme, so nostalgic and i love the subversion of the prince and princess trope. One of my favourite entries.

Lovely graphics, and a great throwback to handheld games of yore. Nice work!!

Like an old LCD-game! Love it!
