That third cookie though... I'm enthralled by your artwork, beautiful paintings. The cookies are pretty funny as platforms for a battery. I also thoroughly enjoy the concept of a battery running away from being used.

nice single-screen game. The small sprites were amazing, I didn't think of creating something so small, and still getting it work so nicely. I dropped several times before managed to hit the platforms.
This was a good idea and was definitely fun to play. the music was really good and the graphics were also interesting. I have to say that I found it a bit difficult to control the character, I'm not sure if that was just my bad skill or the actual controls. But overall it was still fun gameplay as well as a bit challenging which is good
Congrats on getting your game done! I will say that you might want to rethink your difficulty scaling :) this isn't super meat boy - but if that's what you are going for, you will want to tune the controls a little bit better to make it at least fair when you die.
I like your interpretation of "running out of power" !
The music is very catchy. The graphics are well made. I like the living room with the cat tree/thingy.
I think the first level is very hard compared to the second one. Maybe it should be the other way around. Also the controls seem a bit unforgiving at times.
Very well done for your first entry !
**Oh gosh!** I’ve played for about 15 minutes now and I still die on the first level hahaha! I managed to get to the next level once! The music got me, it made me feel like I was in a hurry.
I really enjoyed the artwork, and the annoying jump sound-effect. I like games like this because I always get so addicted, I never give up until I win. I will absolutely get back to playing this game later today!
**Overall** this was an Interesting game, maybe a little too hard though! Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

The main character moves o fast is hard to control, I dont know if was what you meant but this definetely makes the game pretty challenging, and this can be good, the art and sounds are very simple but they do what they have to overall is a good game, and it is way too hard, what makes me like, since I love difficult games =p
I DID IT! This game is actually very hard. That is good.
The story makes no sense whatsoever and you know it :-)
The music is OK, I think it does not really fit the setting, it is just too generic a background music. But that is a minor issue.
The cookies - which do't fall to the ground in spite of gravity - have strange collisions sometimes, especially the skewed ones.
The colors are all over the place, a nice simple palette would have suited the game better, you cannot make out the cookies and the battery from some of the backgrounds.
Overall a challenging and fun little game, good work!
@gonutz I never expected that everyone would think that the game is so hard (all of the people who tested it said it was fine lol)
The cookies are intended not to fall down, they should be lying or stuck in things.
Thank you very much for the feedback!
Great game. Like everyone said a little bit hard but in a good way. Tried it many times but didn't came past the first level :D The graphics looks interesting and the sounds are well selected. Nice entry!
Funny game! A bit short, but it's a bit hard so ok.
I liked the audio, the graphics too. But it's so small. Maybe your can zoom on your game next time to see more details, cause your battery a tooooo small :(
I like the collision which are great. But I didn't like the way the character accelerate... I fail a lot of jump ^^
Anyway, good game!
Very nice jump mechanic! Really hard and at the same time addictive. Had a tough time but it was fun!
Really fun idea, but steering is very hard, also it is not easy in first play to understand on which player can jump, and which is just the background.
Good first entry. Artwork is beautiful. The problem with the game is the same as with many other game jam platformers. It's just too difficult. Remember that you've had 48 hours to practice, and other players just have 5 minutes. Try to make the levels trivially easy and call that hard mode. Try to get a friend to test your game mid way through development. I barely managed to get to the second level after playing for about 10 minutes.
One minor thing. The jump sound is played whenever I press space, even if I'm mid-air and unable to jump.
This was a pretty good entry! The platforming bits were a little tricky at times, but not too bad, and the movement and audio were both pretty good! Personally, the only big fault I had with this entry was that the battery character did end up blending in with the TV in the second level, making it a little hard to notice where exactly they stood.
Good job on this entry, the mechanic is solid, the graphics a funny (in a good way), and the premise is funny. I would have enjoyed it more if I could move with the arrow keys as well as it helps with platforming. Nice work :)
