That was really cool! I got stuck in the secret area above near when the bouncing blocks were introduced and ended up dying from hitting my head too many times on the ceiling spikes. Maybe I was missing a mechanic you get later on? even so it was a lot of fun figuring out creative ways to get into that little nook.
@digigee That seems to be an oversight on my part. I've updated the game fixing that issue, thank you!
Damn it that was top notch! Superb entry.
Really polished!
Wow, really underrated entry! I loved the art and sounds, the story and sudden twists too! Rated a solid 5/5.
It is super super pretty ! the music is super cool and it's a very great game, I'm super impress !!!! A little difficult to handle but it's like chilli pepper, you reask for it :D
Oh, one of the best entries I saw. Music is really pleasing to ear, Graphics is candy and simple and the mechanics are simply great. Unfortunately there are some bugs. Sometimes they are funny and sometimes... Capture.PNG You see :D Anyway, you've done so much for 72h! Great job guys!
I have passed just few levels since I'm not good at arcade games.
What I can say is that you made an amazing game. I can't believe you completed it in 72 hours :smile: Interesting mechanics, beautiful design and sounds..
Great job!
Amazing! Really fun to play, for me the controls felt too sensitive, but I have let a friend play it and he almost won it. Good job!
Loved everything about it. I was kinda stuck for a while on the first tall wall, thinking that I need to kill myself to loose some blood and wight, but at the end, I figured out how to do it :P
Dang, thanks guys so much!!!!
@borys: Does the game get softlocked there or can you get out of that situation?
@mors I was stucked there and I couldn't move and jump anywhere.
Pretty solid entry :D I'm usually not good with those kind of games, but at least I made it to the end ^^ The combination of can only jump and the bouncy blocks can lead to some frustrating moments, but that is part of the essence of such a game, right? XD
Superb entry! The graphics, sounds, and overall presentation is fantastic, though I found the game's movement to be a bit gimmicky at times; it was a breath of fresh air compared to other platformers, and does push the limits of the mechanics it introduces while staying charming throughout!
I'll tell ya, those bounces off the wall can be super punishing. Takes a while to get used to the controlls, but the challenges itself are pretty fun. The amount of life you lose vs the amount you have is forgiving enough that you aren't scared to mess up or try stuff. I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out how to move, but that's on me, not the game. :P
This is so frustratingly fun!! I did not manage to finish it, yet. I'll definitely try again later though. Everything fits together so perfectly, the theme, the music, the humor and the typos. This really has an excellent mood! Great job!!
Okay, this is just hilarious. I love the wacky, bizarre plot and writing. The gameplay is great as well. Only being able to jump puts some unique constraints on you as the player which were fun to work around. I also really like the exploration aspect. Since you don't need to find everything to beat the game, finding secrets and upgrades as well as alternate pathways felt really rewarding. Not to mention the amazing art and sound design. Overall a phenomenal game. Amazing work!
Woah, this was actually really fun! Cute art style as well! Good job!
As much as the drinking the blood from the babies is not really my thing, Pucamuc is really nice overall! Feel very clean and polished, the mechanics works really well and the combination with theme is also very well handled! Great platformer you did here! Nice job
Wow!I never expected so much quality content here, the mechanic of jumping is innovative and very well crafted (the difference between pressing right or left on air or before jumping it's sign of that). I would just say that the sound of jumping was quite repetitive, but beyond that my sincere congratulations.
Really fun and solid controls. I love the personality of the main character, really makes the game shine. I raged on trying to get that duck near the start, but that's the whole point I think. The movement is pretty solid except for when I try to line myself up close to an edge. That is a little annoying but other than that, great stuff
Great game overall. Quite challenging.
Really enjoyed this, the upbeat art style and music contrasts amusingly with the dialog and game mechanics. Fun game, I'm just so terrible at it. Great work!
Ok, this game is terrifying! hahaah and thoroughly enjoyable. What looks initially like a cute lil candy-art platformer turns out to be a gory game haha. I enjoyed the mechanic and found it the right kind of challenge. Really nice entry, plenty to keep me coming back to play more.
I love the color palette and the art style overall is really really good in my opinion. This is really a solid entry for a jam. I like the particle effects and audio is very good. I had a positive experience playing it on web, it was very fluid. Good job!
Overall this was a really solid entry. The music was awesome, the graphics were great, and the gameplay concept was very good. However, I wish there were a few little changes to take some of the frustration out of it. For example, I understand that the character can only move by jumping but when some of the puzzles and navigation require a near pixel-perfect setup it's annoying to have to make a series of several small jumps while just tapping left or right to get into position - so being able to walk very slowly would *really* help but wouldn't compromise on the design vision. Also, I think the game should have a checkpoint at each baby so even if you hit the gameover state you can restart from the last one (or maybe choose any of the baby screens completed so far). This is because I got the first two babies but then while trying and retrying one single challenge I lost all of my blood and hit game over. Have to redo the same content from scratch annoyed me a bit, but then when I was half-way through the game and hit the same problem - just retrying a single punishing single screen cost me +15 blood so I hit game over again, well I had no motivation at all to replay the initial content for a third time just to probably hit the exact same problem over and over again before being able to win. This just sucked all the fun out of what was otherwise one of the best entries I've seen so far (and by a wide margin at that!). I think with a few small edits this game could be utterly amazing :)
The music's amazing, I especially like that funky title screen music! The art is really good as well, very bright and clear. I must say I found the game mechanics a bit frustrating though. I like the idea of paying blood for jumps, but only being able to move by jumping really went against my instincts, and the bounce blocks also seemed really unpredictable to me. Good level design though, and great game overall even if it wasn't necessarily for me.
Nice entry I just found the controls to be very fustrating especially in any parts that had the bouncy tiles. It felt like I didn't have much control at all. I loved the graphics and the story. It got a few laughs out of me.
This is one of my favorite entries this LD, music is fantastic, art style is great, and gameplay is actually really fun to master. Really good game!
Music and art is awesome. Took some time to get used to the controls, but very interessting scheme. Lots of fun.
What a gem ! I think I spent a couple minutes making rhythms at the title screen because the music is sooo good :guitar: The game felt really fresh somehow, I loved it.
Nice game, it is quite difficult though. The pink bouncers can sometimes be a bit glitchy, but this seems to only be a graphical bug not impacting gameplay.
Hahaha funniest game of the jam! Nice job !! the game is super hard yet super fun. Very colorful and well executed. There's a huge problem with the blood supply tho, you end up stucked with no blood to progress and the game doesn't end or gives you more blood. Amazin job for a jam! Congrats!
Wow...one of the tops!! Played a long time and really wanted to stay in this world! I'm a fan of this little character! :)
Neat looking and good mechanic idea, but I wish the controls were explained. Found the cadence of movement not very enjoyable.
Great game, I just wish the jam version offered a quick restart mechanic - a full run reset for a jam game seems too rough.
Oh gosh your game is so difficult. I really love that you have to pay for double jumps, for longer jumps and you have to be very careful. Being able to move solely when you're jumping is great. I'll give it another shot, to see if I can have more than 7 babies!
Perfect Audio and Graphics IMO, impressive for a jam, congrats.
It wasn't easy to understand that player can only jump but after that it was OK. Game still very hard at some point but i like the challenge :-)
GG for the amount of work you both made :clap_tone1:
DUUDE
WA SOO CLOOSE
I hade like 9 babies and all the chimkin or almost
Man
Seriously, you have here a **great game** that, actually, can be ported to be commercial. Reminds me of Celeste in a way:
+ simple but effective core gameplay, easy to learn, hard to master + evolutive gameplay with sooo much creativity in the added mechanics + good level design, secret areas, good balance on risk/reward + difficulty + atmosphere + music + art style
**You have made a wonderful gaem.** Don't let it go to waste ;)
Also ! If you would make it less gore with this blood and babies, it could definitely be a great game about frogs! Reminded me of frogs' jumps when I played your game !
LOL I hate this game. Just kidding I don't hate it, but Originally I tried to play it in the html 5 version and for some reason it was so laggy I couldn't even play. I loaded up the windows version and it was silky smooth ran perfect. I dunno if it's my computer or if the html5 version just isn't that smooth.
The controls were hard but I guess that's what makes the game unique. If it was just like a normal platformer than it wouldn't of been as interesting.
I feel like this game would of been awesome to watch a streamer play and hear them yelling out curse words haha.
The graphics were consistent and the music and sound effects fit the game. I thought it was pretty good overall
