Fantastic. Neat, original mechanic. One thing to note is that the window defaulted to a position where part of it was off screen and I could not move it because the title bar was off screen too(https://imgur.com/ZlcIuPJ). This was annoying, but I did not take off points for it. It would be greatly appreciated if this bug could be fixed. Otherwise, amazing entry.
@SuperPokeunicorn. This has been fixed.
I played for a long time, a lot of fun, but the controls need to be adjusted to be smoothed.
Very consistent art style and good idea =D. The controls could use some adjustments, but it's compo and, due to the circunstances, it's not a problem at all. Great job!
Very nice! Definitely one of my favourites this far. The graphics, sound and gameplay went together very well, and the mechanics felt polished.
Oooo, this looks great! I wish I could play it, but I'm on Mac OS X :'(
Cool game! .. I really liked the retro feel of it. :) good job.
Ok... so that's like a really, like really... good take on the theme... but answer me this...
How could you feature a sousaphone and not have some sort of oom-pah music as a front runner for the soundtrack? I mean... really... c'mon...
But seriously... the theme, art and music (with it's blatant disregard for oom-pahness) was spot on and really worked. Loved the suck in/blow out mechanic. One of my favorites thus far.
If I had to name a complaint, the controls were a little off from my usual for this sort of game, I kept blowing and sucking when I meant to jump... but that's my own left handed "different strokes" problem...
Good job! Thanks!
Enjoyed this game, though the idea seems to be stolen from Kirby's Adventure :-) 5 stars for all except innovation
Awesome! Reminds me of so many great arcades! The only thing I dislike about this game is the colors of the background. I've noted your progress post during the event and noted it as a perfect example of good theme use, turns out the game is fun and addicting to play too! Too bad there's not much levels. Great work!
Wow I loved all the music references and the music-based enemies. I only wish the sound effects would've been more musical, too.
Once again you nailed that retro feeling and hit another homerun with a unique cast of characters. That boss fight was especially memorable.
I appreciate having numerous checkpoints as the jump was a little touchy and that one section with the spikes and the lizards shooting ... UGH I DIED SO MUCH! But in the end it was all worth it to fight that boss. I'm glad it wasn't just the typical 'hit 3 times to win' battle, either. I kept wondering how many it would take to finally kill him.
Loved the tuba blow sound effect, too. It's kind of goofy like it should be. Also the line at the end about the tired shoulders.. heh.
I only found 1 of 3 treasures thus far but I hope to go back and find the rest.
Another good entry!
I agree controls need some adjustments, but it's a fun game and I enjoyed it ;)
Very fun entry, great polish.
Good use of the theme, and nice music. I loved the pixel art, and the tiles disappearing once they were out of the frame was a nice touch (if intentional). However, the jumping could be strange sometimes, and made the game a bit annoying.
