That's some Nintendo hard platforming you got there. I like the graphics (they are beautifully primitive XD)

Fun little platformer, graphics were great

weeping-rupee 2016-04-20 04:59

I flew off screen as a bird and it crashed the game:(

biscuitdough 2016-04-20 05:07

really difficult platforming, liked the background graphics,

The jumps were very tricky, but its a very nice game. Good use of the theme. Well done!

Really hard, gave in frustration on level 3. Did get up to the almost-top long platform, then missed the jump at the end. Rage quit. Like the look and the controls are tight, just too frustrating.

Well, that was tough :D I wasn't able to fly as the bird to the right side...

Nice graphics, sounds and storyline, for a compo!

Was too hard for me, only barely managed to get past the second level before giving up in frustration ^_^. Nicely done graphics. If I could get to more levels, I could imagine some tricky ones where you need to eat a bunch of different berries, which could be pretty cool =).

Oh my goat ! i like ! it's remember me my period with my oommodore 64 games in 16 colors or amstrad 464 with 8 colors ! funny ! nice work !

mitya1234 2016-04-20 06:15

Controls is not quite good but the game itself is good

redpillgamedev 2016-04-20 06:21

I really liked it! I spent about 10 min on it! Congratz!

raptorij 2016-04-20 06:37

I liked the game

This game is pretty neat. I can see that you were probably inspired by Link from Zelda II when you were drawing the main character. If I had to give some constructive feedback, I would say make the character come to a stop faster when the player isn't holding anything down and to space the platforms apart more vertically. Great job!

Wow, really hard game. Tried for an hour to get past that ice cave and I go really close but couldn't quite get it. Very fun game though and the visuals are really nice.

Really challenging game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/V5g1IHvqQQk

Pretty cool, controls felt awkward though. Very difficult for sure

linver 2016-04-22 11:00

Very good background, and style really. But this game needs moar easy levels/
And if you try to fly to the space.. game is crushed ;3

badia_r 2016-04-23 14:33

Nice little game. It's neither too easy nor too hard. Very fun to play!

puppetmaster 2016-04-23 22:24

cool parallax background, challenging jumps, nice game idea
Love the Zelda 2 house!! :-)

lanestp 2016-04-23 23:05

That was some nice HARD platforming! I liked it! That timer on the animal forms is unforgiving! Really fun!

marianomiii 2016-04-24 05:15

I found the game compelling, I wanted to know what was going to happen and figure out who wrote the signs. Unfortunately I couldn't get past all the crazy ice jumps with the little goat berries. But the goat and I the bird are awesome, I'm curious if other transformations are in the game too. I might come back to this one! Nice job.

tselmek 2016-04-25 18:08

Nice entry, the level design was actually really pleasing but the platformer physics somestimes felt a little unfair (expecially starting the 3th level), I enjoyed it nonetheless. Also the jump sound felt really delayed.

foxtacy 2016-04-25 18:39

Very nice game! :)

jakass 2016-04-30 16:22

Interesting graphics! lol Good project!

srakowski 2016-04-30 19:04

Ahh so hard! Great job :)

ziege 2016-04-30 19:13

My first ragequit of this LD.
It looks good, has great potential. But the controls are awkward especially those damn few (one?) steps after jump.

ardy 2016-04-30 20:05

I liked the idea but the execution not so much. Some thing that could be improved:
- Gosh please remove the falling on the ground sound. It's just annoying and provides really no feedback at all.
- You should be able to go through the platforms when jumping under then, this not only makes you able to use then in different ways as it makes it less frustrating when you make a climbing part because you don't have to precisely jump in order to not bump the head in a platform and fall to your death. I really wanted to be able to play the rest of the game, but I couldn't get though level 3 because of that

Other than that, the graphics are really clean and the backgrounds are awesome. The image you made for the game though really doesn't help at all. I was expecting a half finished horrible game and got something else entirely, some people may not give it a go because of it, tho.

bentglasstube 2016-04-30 20:37

Since this has been a common complaint - level 3 is the final level of the game. I made it hard because I didn't have time to make more levels after it.

Fun to play, good entry!

conno1234 2016-05-01 01:50

Great concept and I loved the art style! My only complaint is the difficulty of the parkour parts because of how "slidy" to controls are.

medidog 2016-05-01 03:14

Funny use of the theme!

blackoptics8 2016-05-01 03:37

great use of the theme and was exxxtremely hard on the last level XD felt like it needed some music ;D oh and flying up as the bird to high does crash the game as weeping rupee mentioned.

teampoops 2016-05-01 04:27

Awesome job!

goffmog 2016-05-04 12:57

I'm not usually a fan of unforgiving platformers and this one was a beast. Thank you for not having enemies! But in an LD context it's refreshing to play a platformer where the mechanics have actually been written from scratch rather than being fudged with a physics engine, it's always more satisfying this way. I tried, I really did, but after the second time of falling off just before eating the berries that turn you into a bird, I had to quit :) Good job!
