Oh i love this one a lot! Adorable graphics and fun (and stressful) gameplay. You should definitely rate other games for your game to be more visible!

Fun, and the music fits really good :)

@grllle: Thank you! Still stuck on a limited mobile connection since we haven’t got a broadband in place in the new apartment we moved to this weekend yet, so I can’t download games right now, but as soon as it’s in place (hopefully in a couple of days), I’ll start playing and rating as many entries as I can! c:

This is so wonderfully frustrating. I tried so many times to survive long enough for the sun to rise. Is it possible or am I just terrible at it? Love the graphics, and that music sets me on edge whilst the troll is breathing down my neck. I'm determined to survive so I'm going back in for more punishment. Wish me luck.

Good stuff :8ball:

@oddballdave: Thank you, both for your kind words and for your perseverance! 🐱 It’s possible! Take those risks and jump straight down because you can’t outrun it from side to side as it picks up its pace~

Really nice graphics. Inertion feels pretty natural. Is it even possible to win at it or is it just me?

Graphics are just awesome! Nice touch is randomly generated positions of platforms.

Controls could be more reactive - there is a delay between pressing a button and turning around. It could be intentional (character slides on the snow) but it would be better if character turns immediately (and still can slide turned to wanted direction). I believe it would feel better with this little change.

Anyway, great job!

Thanks & merci beaucoup! 💕

Simple but fun! Got pretty suspenseful at times, took a few tries to beat. I like the paper cutout feel of the graphics and the music choice fits well.

So fun! And cute! I found myself wanting to slap the keyboard a lot, I was very into the game :D Also I think falling a large distance doesn't give you much of an advantage, since the troll spawns immediately on the same platform argh.

So it takes strategic planning to beat it, I had to plan my route. Very impressive Ava!! Well done!

Really difficult! I couldn't make it D: I like this interpretation on the theme!

It is the most engaging game in this jam. I was screaming each time the troll got me! :)

5/5 - Just Amazing!

Fun game. Liked how intense it gets as the trolls get close to you and you need to make the decision to skip some platforms. The cute paper cutout out art style also worked really well in making it a game that you keep trying to beat.

Cute little game with charming graphics. Good job!

spirits 2019-05-13 21:04

Great Game!, The only thing I felt uncomfortable was that you can't control movement in air. Overall Well Done! :thumbsup:

Thanks, everyone! I still haven’t got an internet connection and can’t play and rate your games in return yet, I’m sorry to say. ): Using the last few megabytes I have of mobile data to pop in here with this comment. I really hope I’ll be able to do so soon!

zondarg 2019-05-14 22:10

Very good work, I liked the idea and graphics very much, the shaking of the tree, when the troll appears is great! Sound fits too. Very well done! But it is really hard to beat, tried this so often. :thumbsup:

joni-jarvinen 2019-05-15 15:33

I love the contrast of the cutesy style and very difficult gameplay. Nice work!

ava-skoog 2019-05-21 16:25

A final round of great thanks to you all! We still haven't got an internet connection at the new apartment. Really sorry about that. Did have some opportunity today to play and rate so I had to prioritise the people I know. But I did check on all of you to make sure you had all the ratings you needed, and since you do, my conscience is relieved somewhat, but I'm still very sorry! Made sure you all get karma points for commenting on mine.

By the next LD I should have a stable connection again and be able to return the favour to everyone, so if you do the next one I'll check up on your entries for sure!
