I love the graphics, I think they're very charming. However is there a way to reload the game after you die? I have to refresh the page which is mildly annoying... Too bad because the game itself is fairly decent. Also I managed to jump over the left wall at the beginning and ended up in the Void :P

Really nice graphics, but where's the respawn key? ^^

gandalfderwaise 2020-04-20 21:53

nice game :) love the artwork from your kids - gives it a really charming character :) But i wish there'd be a reload/retry function. Also sometimes the character has a few glitches still a lovely game :D

I'm not gonna leave a negative rate but there is no way to restart the game, and refresh the page every time is just broken. please consider to upload a patch

Your kids did a great job with the art! Is there a way to restart without having to refresh the browser? Those monsters are not very forgiving if you get close to them. It's very easy to die. I love that you did this as a family. Great job!

thanks all for feedback and comments! I agree it was stupid NOT to put restart button, already fixed! thanks again

Nice graphics, I like how even though the art was drawn by your kids, it still blends pretty seamlessly into the rest of the world. I like how the monsters launch the apples so that there is more of a reason to get closer to them and not avoid them altogether. The jazzy music actually fits really well with this so I like that. To improve, I'd say adding either a health bar or checkpoints would be nice. It gets frustrating having to start over again and although this is seen a lot in the roguelike genre, the demographic for this type of game would typically be younger and the difficulty should probably be eased as such. Also, I see that you added a restart buttpn but it's so small I missed it the first few refreshes! :smile: But it's very original and I like that.

That was fun and cute, but can you add key to respawn ? I understand the role of the sign after ^^ ! Else it was fun to see apple fly and jump! T1D.jpg

nice game - reminded me of an oldddddd game called Jill of the Jungle

I FOUND THE UNICORN, YAYYYYY!! Nice game, a bit challenging experience but fun.

kaeveris 2020-04-21 20:17

Cool game, I like that it's a team work with your kids :)

zaphire 2020-04-21 20:18

Nice and simple with unique art. Just wish there was a restart button

jacksgamessucks 2020-04-21 20:54

there is restart button! :) i just made it more visible, enjoy!

I found the Unicorn, success! (It was an excellent motivator to reach the end). For my part I had zero problems with restarting and everything seemed to work smoothly. The was super cute, well done.

ballipilla 2020-04-22 08:09

Nice and fun game!

imp1 2020-04-22 11:45

Super cute! There's a tricky sign pointing down to the spikes though! Cruel...

bastian 2020-04-22 18:11

Nice game! :) I love that your kids provided the graphics. Some of the signs are just mean! :D Good job

maxathon 2020-04-22 18:47

Found the unicorn! Love the hand-drawn kid graphics and the fact that it's a simple sidescroller.

Nice job trolling with some incorrect signs. Like a less extreme "I Wanna Be the Guy" when you hit those parts XD

jivers99 2020-04-22 18:56

Fun game, would love a respawn button

duke 2020-04-22 20:24

I really love the production behind the game :) great that you could make this a family effort and work with your kids on this. That aside, game play wise, there are things that can be improved of course. First thing would be the one-hit-kill-mechanic. Give that princess some hit points! Running speed is very slow so jumping into enemies happens regularly. The platforming physics can be improved as well. There are some strange glitches when running or jumping into or against walls. I guess asking for animations on the self drawn assets would be a bit much, though :D loved the enemy designs by the way. Kid's drawings are the best!

Great job, especially since done with your kids. Game is fun, a few of "You Bas***d" signs make it more interesting. It could be polished, and the amount of apples sort of detracts from the food mechanic, but still a great entry!

I found the unicorn! Nice little game. Your kids should be proud (and you too!).

g12345 2020-04-26 12:11

I found the unicorn too! I think it's a great idea to make a game together with your kids. And their drawings are much, much better than mine. Yay! :smile:

Also the signs are really devious. :tongue:

aberderbart 2020-04-27 21:25

I totally love the Graphics, keep your kids on it!

fatpenguin 2020-05-02 12:11

That was sooooo cute, I love that you did a game with your kids! Best dad ever! <3 I hope you keep doing stuff :D as for the gameplay it was a biiiit too punishing at times, but maybe you and your kids were going for that "Dark Souls" Vibe ;P Controls were smooth, maybe add a controller support, and keep working on that, have your kids draw all the assets! :D unicorngame_cuuute.jpg

A nice little game! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun making it. ;) The drawings are really cute. If there is one thing missing from the gameplay, it would be some sort of checkpoint system. It's tough having to start everything all over again, especially because you followed an arrow sign straight into a spike pit. ;)

Overall I like this one. I've enjoyed playing it. ;)
