This is incredibly well-done. I really love the polish to the game and the mechanic where you create things in the game. It also has a crazy challenge to it. I found myself struggling to both navigate the map clicking things and also control the player. Discovering that I could select myself was very satisfying for me as the player. Great game!

This game is amazing!! The mechanic is super interesting and fits with the theme really well, but man that second level is hard! The bad guy is moving super fast while you try and pick stuff up :O but overall this is awesome!!!!!!!

The music, the art, the concept, all amazing. Well done.

It took me much longer than I would care to admit to beat this game. Very Challending but well put together. Harkens back to unforgiving NES/Atari classics. Well done.

Great game,nice utilization of the theme. A bit difficult at some places, like that second screen where you don't have too much time to react. Also, that boss is hard af, can't beat it yet.

Wow, very interesting game, and very well executed as well. The character hitboxes felt a bit unfair at some points, but other than that I had a lot of fun and some cool a-ha moments when I understood what to do. Not sure if I can get through your end though is it possible?

I can say that I didn't expect to play so much from this game. I was stuck a few times but I realy like the challange this game presentes. The integration with the jam theme is really smart and at the same time a very unique aprotch to this theme.

Great idea and excellent execution in that given timeframe. Kudos to you!

It's very fun and smooth, but I found having to restart in the previous area all the time a bit too tedious. Great work on the audio!

@simanis @aconfusedragon @pinosaur @anticdope @lucasograssi @ongomato @ghust1995 @pedro-rosa @mijdax @simanis @le-dav Thank you all for playing my game, I'm honored .:) !

To help with bosses part:

1) the game is beatable : 1st boss is hard because his invincibility at some frames, I think the best thing is to master the blocking move and launch it at the right time for every attack. (he got 10 hp). 2) the 2nd boss is long but easier , just spam punch on wall and be attentive on what attack he is going to do. If you attack the cursor, you will kill him faster, but try it only when he already attack.

Thank you one more time, I tried all your games too !

That was great. It was fun figuring out the mechanics of each level but a bit frustrating having to redo the previous level over and over. It was good the level before the platforming level was quick to complete once you figure it out, though having to redo the one with the red box over an over was a pain. The hitbox of the boss of the room in your bottom screenshot was hard to judge. I would often punch it but die instead. Didn't figure out any way past your end.

A very intriguing game.

I think the first boss is much easier than the second, since jabbing him for the first hit and then blocking / uppercutting him for every other hit knocks him out without much trouble. What makes the second boss so challenging is that you cannot jump and punch a the same time and spamming the attack button can hurt your fingers.

Nice sound effects!
