Hah, I like Mario's Koopa Troopa mechanics :) Recorded sfx with mic was fun in the beginning, but become a little annoying later, maybe you should add a little more processing after recording it? (I'm not pro, so don't know for sure :) ) Great game overall!

Well, for me the game got quite frustrating after a while - I was dying all the time, not because I didn't know what to do, but because I found it really difficult to carry out everything exactly as intended. Otherwise the idea is nice, maybe it could be used somewhat more, then just to jerk the world a little bit - but I didn't get to the end, so maybe it was used more later in the game.
I almost got stuck on the level where you need to get over a gap to press a button. I didn't realize the turtle would respawn until I found the solution by a fluke. Most levels seem to require you to use the mechanics in a new way, which I like.
Nice concept, but the game could be pretty frustrating at times. In the 2nd level the character can only jump just high enough to get on the first platform and it took me a few tries to get up there. The controls felt pretty awkward, like how you had to keep Shift pressed to hold the turtle. But the idea for game is pretty unique and the sound was good.

That's an interesting idea. The sound effects had me laughing. Controls feel a little stiff and slow though, other than that, good job on your jam
If you like, please take a look at the game me and my team made for the jam, you can find a link to it on my profile

Great idea, one of the most original entries I've seen so far. Levels could use a bit more balance, but mechanics are easy to figure out organically, so had fun overall.

Very cute. Could use a way to stop the turtle shell once it starts sliding.
Really original idea, I like the concept. A new kind of puzzle platformer.
At first I didn't get it, that's probably a tutorial issue. As with every novel concept you have to get it into the player heads before they can enjoy it. You should put quite some effort in this so not understanding wont be a hindrance for your game.
