Hey @greepybrainsdev

Thank you for feedback!! We appreciate! It seems impossible, but it's not. So we've made a walkthrough video, check it out!

A fun platformer in the style of Super Meat Boy. The art is really good, the butter is really cute. The controls are slippery (which makes sense, since you're butter), but it makes precision platforming trickier than it has to be.

This game's visual presentation is really nice, with it's bright, colorful, and cartoony vibe. I particularly like the little trail the butter man leaves behind. This game also has really nice controls and the first world is really well designed. Unfortunately, the massive difficulty spike at the beginning of the second world prevented me from getting very far. You really need to introduce mechanics one at a time before giving a massive challenge like that (like Super Meat Boy). Looking at the video play through, it seems that that level is by far the most difficult in the game, so it's really a shame that it has to be a gatekeeper between me and the rest of the game. that aside, this game is pretty well polished and I had a good time with what I did get to play. Nice work!

I was enjoying my time with all the little visual touches you added to the game, like buttering the bread (lol) until that massive difficulty spike at level 4. I looked at your walkthru and get how to complete it, and after seeing the other levels, I respectfully think you should have saved that level to the end of the sink session. I didn't know what those pink things were and wouldn't have known then were jump-able, and wouldn't have been able to see them when I started the level. That level alone was kind of unfair. The rest of the game felt super rich and buttery, and otherwise, great job!

IMO, the gameplay itself doesn't fit the theme that well: basically, it's a platformer with a time limit.

I like the butter trails effect à la Super Meatboy. I think it would be interesting if it was actually that that causes your butter bar to deplete (instead of it just decreasing with time).

Also, the character could become smaller the more it depletes, but at this point I'm just throwing random ideas...

Cool game overall, the level design is good and there's a lot of content.

I really enjoyed that. What a cute main character. I would have liked to have seen the butter shrink as it melted, but in general this plays very well.

This was a nice take on the theme, wasn't expecting a butter game xD

Pretty good platformer, good difficulty progression... until sink 1 :) Sunk (lol) about 20 tries into that before giving up. Props for the intro & level transitions though. Nice work!

The idea was good. I liked how I'm controlling a butter, because I like butter. I watched the walkthrough and tried to copy what you were doing, but it was so so hard, especially the 4th level ! Really fun game.
