I couldn't get far because I'm trash but I had a wonderful time :)

Sweet main character animations. I love the cute and cuddly look of those. :)

I didn't get to the end of the game, sorry - but you had me hooked for a while.

I started with a bit of missing orientation, the right side looked dangerous, so I jumped down the left - where the spikes were already waiting for me. So I went right - and as soon as I understood that the objects can be used to unlock paths in the game, I became really interested. I love those exploration games. I had fun exploring the right hand side of the cave, floating on the water, climbing up walls or dashing over pits.

The only thing that made me give up was the saw right next to the shop; I lost all my coins many times to that thing, so I had to collect all of those and die again to get the objects I wanted... That got a bit too frustrating after a while.

But apart of that - nice game. Would have loved to explore it a bit more, maybe I'll check it out again later. :)

Graphics look really nice; and a banana is a very amusing character to play as! Not sure if it's me, but couldn't find where to go: - Right, the only root I could see was the water which killed me, and I couldn't go back because a wall came up next to the saw - Left, I seemed only to fall into spikes, or land on a platform from which I could jump onto spikes.

The bit of the game I could play felt responsive and easy to control. Good job

Makes fun and looks nice. In the first moment I was not aware that I also can go "throw" the info board :D

I like the little banana dude. It felt bad when he died...... sooo much. That's just because I'm bad at games, though. I managed to get the shoes and the duck, but that's as far as I got. I wish there had been some cool background music but aside from that I liked it!

I had fun playing, the character is cute and expecially the duck ! However there are a few bad points; I faced small bugs but nothing serious or damaging. The biggest problem is the field of view which in my opinion is a little too small, you can't see the next platforms sometimes and when the platform is below you, you don't see it at all.

Beside that, great game with good difficulty.

I feel like the game may be a bit too hard (maybe I'm just bad though :) ), i like the art style a lot. Only one suggestion if you intend to continue development of this game: When you have something that hurts or kills the player(like that circular saw at the beginning) always make the collider of that object a little bit smaller than the picture, cause you never want the player to feel cheated. In my opinion its always best to go even further and shrink that kind of collider even further than realistic. Great game, good luck!

Thank you! Thats very helpfull :)

Nice game, but very confusing for me at first!

demuss 2019-10-08 16:22

Graphics and animation of main character are lovely! As platform lover i think i give it a long shot but sorry i couldn't finish the game... i just can't deal with the controlls there are some good tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yorTG9at90g&list=PLJ6aq_dKDFJITB8U7JHbUTx76xROewlQ_&index=4&t=0s

Also there is a lot of mess with level design... for example: you jump into to void because you don't see platforms below, there is too many roads too early and because of that you don't know where to go in bad way.. and felt like i left the proper map and jump on random glitched platforms... BUT as your 1st game it's really good! please continue your game after the jam : )

Thanks @bcvery1!, and you should get the duck floaty to swim :)

I think I couldn't see the whole menu, but interesting game.

hiro-e 2019-10-08 20:58

I could jump all day to see this illustration of the character, I loved it. Great job guys!

fireslash 2019-10-09 04:30

Most of the commenters already mentioned the design and messaging issues, I'd just like to comment on a rather amusing bug I hit due to velocity not being reset when the player respawns. If you die going fast enough, you just keep falling through the world forever.

Overall a solid attempt for a first try!

While the idea is interesting of having to get upgrades in order to progress, the implementation felt a bit clunky. You will sometimes get stuck on a wall and i particularly find the camera position a bit odd, not favoring movement to left or down. The art, however, is consistent with the thematic and the sound effects are nice. A background music would certainly spice the atmosphere a bit, but the absence doesnt makes the game worse. Good job on your entry!

clemonades 2019-10-09 18:12

The character art is great. Really like the cute banana, nice job!

alex-jilkin 2019-10-09 18:42

Nice entry with interesting art style, sound effects were fitting and i enjoyed the comedic approach haha.

The game is a little buggy. The player gets stuck on platforms and then the player has to restart the game. The concept and graphics of the game are nice. Overall, a nice game. I liked it. Nice work.
