Nice! Being able to travel horizontally that freely makes for interesting level design possibilities. It makes you think more about what's off screen and try to work out how to get height where there's line of sight to where you want to end up. I like it!

Will you continue to develop the idea? I'd happily play more levels.

I really enjoyed this little game. It's cool that you added multiple levels!

peachtreeoath 2016-04-19 07:22

Hope to see more levels of this. Great concept!

this is really good. "become the big fist"

Cool! You used well the theme to make a fun game :)

wumpus 2016-04-19 12:04

Loved it. Simple idea, nicely executed and some smart level design considering it's only one ability to work with. I'd definitely play more of this if you expanded upon it

Very nice game, the gameplay is simple, yet could produce lots of challenging possibilities, good use of the theme.

Hey this game is funny. Fist everything! Only jumping is anoying, took so long to climb stairs...

Yay, we mastered the big fist! :D Great concept and solid entry, would love to play more levels with this gameplay mechanic! The ones in the game are really well designed and the flying fist transformation makes for very cool challenges. Kind of reminds me of the ice floors in Chip's Cahllenge. Congratulations! :D

Nice entry, looks really good. Love how you've twisted the theme :D

Really nice entry! Simple and effective! I really dig the controls and the way the puzzles are designed!

Keep up the good work people!! :D

muumeroinen 2016-04-19 18:48

Really liked the mechanic

hankenstien 2016-04-19 22:13

Nice simple game, easy to pick up and play.

blobo 2016-04-19 22:47

Really neat. i like the concept.

aeai 2016-04-19 22:48

This is really good, i wish there would be more levels:)

eemmbbeerr 2016-04-19 22:48

Super neat concept!
A bit short, I would've loved to explore more of this world!

One of the most fun games I've played this jam. Really clever level design and a beautifully simple yet satisfying mechanic.

apantaloni 2016-04-19 23:19

Good platformer with a very catchy music. Maybe jumping on the stairs slows down the gameplay a little too much. Morphing into the big fist is fun! Nice, enjoyable entry

ryusui 2016-04-20 05:12

Oh man. This is one of those games where I just wish there was more of it after finishing XD

I love the infinite-range horizontal dash attack mechanic. My only gripe is that enemies should do something a little more than just vanish when hit - like explode or something. XD

chuigum 2016-04-21 04:33

Loved the simple art style, cool take on theme, love that big fist mechanic, and well done overall! :)

kairosxiii 2016-04-21 04:36

Haha, love the big fist technique! The music and pixel art was great. The UP arrow might be more intuitive for control purposes. Great job.

kuhnerdm 2016-04-21 19:06

Love the concept, love the spritework and the overall style. Really enjoyed this one.

simon123 2016-04-21 19:29

This game was really great. Lovely graphics, and a unique concept, creating a really cool puzzle/platformer. Would have been good to not be so easy to die and lose your progress, maybe do something like have 3 lives, and on losing a life reset position back to the start but keep your progress collecting rings? Loved the unique art styles per level.

shatterpointstudios 2016-04-21 19:31

Pretty goofy and fun. Jumping could be a bit better. Nice graphics and audio.

starvingindie 2016-04-21 19:32

This is a really neat game mechanic. There is a lot of interesting level design possibilities with this. It's really fun to try and figure out how to horizontally position yourself to get the coins with the big fist. Great concept.

tselmek 2016-04-24 12:22

Pretty cool mechanic, the level design is well done. Cool graphics and sounds as well.

toccio 2016-04-24 12:28

Lol, amazing XD

boltkey 2016-04-24 21:15

The concept is innovative but I am not a huge fan of the execution. There should be more levels with ideas really embracing the concept.

pietro-ferrantelli 2016-04-28 23:05

"The Big Fist" mechanic is damn cool, pretty hilarious to watch and nice polish on feedbacks when you take coins while dashing through theme. Pixel art graphics are nice to, audio fits the game pretty well and I also tink rotating coins is always a cool detail

rock-eaters 2016-05-01 07:46

deep fun here :) and love the character
