This game is great, it was fun to watch the creation, but I love the sound the most.

* some dashes I hurt enemies, some they hurt me. * folly work was great.

So fun!!! The hilarious sounds kept me laughing even when I was struggling with the game lol :)

Great job as always Quill, the body part collection was fantastic, I particularly liked the leg back kick and the dash towards the end. Its always fun watching your development process to and its been an inspiration in my development work. Keep on keeping on my friend, you deserve some good chocolate and whiskey after this one.

It was great to have you on stream working on my first Ludum Dare! Your game came out great, fits the theme very well I think. My only regret is finishing with 99% waffles. Cheers!

This is a great game. Fun sounds, extraordinary design and great overall. After watched quill making this game in 48 hours, I'm encouraged by his motivation and I understood that creating a game from scratch in 48 hours more than enough. Keep up the good work 💪

Good and responsive game,the sound effect and pixel animation is very satisfying when you kill the skeleton. I collected all 212 Waffles!

Very nice and consistent looking graphics + fun sounds. Makes me want to die just to listen to the sound. Jumping and collisions could use some work to make them feel more satisfying but that's a matter of simple tweaks. Very fun experience and I could see this being a full game.

Hilarious sound effects and great pixel art overall

The dash "WEEEE" sound effect definitely got a chuckle out of me. I do have to complain about the falling rocks there where definitely times where I had just spawned or just started a jump and one came on screen and knocked me back. I mean the game has infinite lives and a fair checkpoint system but it just feels bad to get hit as soon as you spawn. Other than that good game.

As always a really solid outcome - really enjoyed seeing the sound creation process :wink: great humor - and very relaxing with let's play ish and the whiskey :thumbsup_tone1:

And thanks for teaching - you're probably the one who got me started about a year ago (just as a hobby though)

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

Loved the sound effects! The physics felt a bit weird though. Thanks for adding the cheats by the way. Had fun, good entry!

ninnec 2019-10-08 02:36

Really enjoyed the animations and idea very cool

2019-10-08 04:08

i missed when you added the sound effects and its the best part! lots of fun to play glad it came out so well! but i wish tile #5 made its correct unaligned appearanc!

merkisoft 2019-10-08 06:41

it is fun to compete against you, the master who taught me unity.

your game looks promising. i have to continue the review at home, my mobile does not have asdw keys :smiley:

would be nice, if you review others as well. the stats speak against you :wink:

autumn-schutt 2019-10-08 19:09

This was very fun. I watched you create it as I was making my own ludum dare game. It has a lot of content and feels very polished for 48 hours!

tvle83 2019-10-08 19:12

Watched some of the stream at the end. Very awesome game. thank you

oune 2019-10-08 22:10

As much as I hated the moving sounds of the brain, I enjoyed everything else. Great job, Quill! Thanks a lot for the entertaining streams and all the programming content. Keep it up!

bismark 2019-10-09 02:38

A pleasant platformer to play, a pleasant streaming to see (time to time, because i was also busy to work in Unity meanwhile).

shigor 2019-10-09 10:06

I generally dislike platformers but I really liked this one and even finished it :)

domino-marama 2019-10-09 13:20

Had fun with WebGL version up until I discovered CTRL-D adds a new bookmark in Firefox.. No, I don't want a DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD bookmark, I want to run towards that skeleton and bash it!

Nice work otherwise :)

belug23 2019-10-10 19:54

At first I was a little bit desapointed by the simple platformer, I continued because I thought the 'cookies' would make me evovle or something, but then I touched the first pile of body parts! Awesome!

One big thing that could be better, make the first level shorter and maybe add an other small body part in first to teach what is the point of the game faster.

kunonooni 2019-10-11 02:58

"You have escaped castle brainia. waffles collected 212/212 100%" It was fun watching you make the game and even more fun playing the game! Congrats Quill!

ryuu 2019-10-11 16:52

Great entry! I has fun playing this game and was wondering how did you had time to implement all of this! The sounds and graphics are great as well as the story (I'm just salty because I missed one coin haha)

2019-10-11 21:07

Great game and great sound effects too! I did find two bugs in the last level though: If you get hit bij a falling rock while standing next to a wall it may knock you back past the wall's collision box and trap you in the wall. And once you get the dash ability, you can use it to get to above where you started (all the way at the left of the map) and fall for eternity. Both bugs require you to restart the entire game.

lars-erik 2019-10-13 18:41

The sounds alone are enough to come back to this wacky entry. 🤣 Good job!

kromeboy 2019-10-14 12:11

Great game. Managed to complete it, and also somewhat broke it :-) Immagine.jpg

realitycheck 2019-10-27 10:19

Very well polished entry and a lot of fun to play. Really loved the sounds - especially the dash made me chuckle a bit. The pixel art is nice as well.

I ended up stuck in a wall, though, after being hit by one of the meteors Capture.PNG

Lovely entry. Great job!

pio 2019-10-29 16:14

Loved the graphics and sounds!
