The only thing I regret about playing this game is not having played it first. I'ts the best thing that happened to humanity. Thank you vary much for this.

I got stuck on the first rope cutting level but I enjoyed the music and atmosphere. The voice acting was a great touch!

Not going to lie, I thought it was going to be 72 hour game jam's worth of dialogue of just Ligma jokes.

charred-axolotl 2022-04-05 03:59

I have the humor of an 11 year old child, so I really liked this one

chartle 2022-04-05 03:59

Very nice, I fucking felt the ligma joke coming and there it was. Either way the rest of the game was solid, nice physics system (although I skipped the rope room by jumping down on a rope and having it snap). Unfortunately I got stuck on the water level, I restarted the level after I messed up and any time I jumped it would restart again. Well done for this weekend, proper game.

Thank you for catching the bug @chartle ! It only happened when jumping with space, we didn't catch it because we were always jumping with W or the up arrow. I have updated the game with a fix.

Thank you @chartle, @luquio, @andrewdt100 and @charred-axolotl for your kind feedback. I'm so happy you enjoyed our game ❤

This is a masterpiece, impressive physics systems and sound design

I just found it hard to control the wall grabbing and couldnt always tell where it was possible

iamsodarncool 2022-04-05 12:08

@crispypin Yeah, the climbing mechanic is a little rough. I would have liked to polish it more. In particular, it's practically impossible to climb on the side of a physics object that isn't on perfectly flat ground, because if the physics object rotates even a tiny bit, you get knocked off.

Glad you enjoyed the sound design! I'm delighted by how much humor and immersion the spatial audio adds for the dialogue scenes. Shame it doesn't work on the web version.

A fun little puzzler witch clever mechanics and a healthy dose of adolescent humor-I love it!

Art-wise I would have preferred a lot less grey in the background tiles. The characters are on the simple side, but everything is easy to identify which is the most important.

The music added some urgency by being up-tempo, but but felt a little random and started to get old after a little while. But yay cowbell!

The voice acting was the cherry on top.

Nice one, this was fun to complete!

I tried to use restart to skip the cutscene the second time I started but it turns out that skips you to the ending. XD

iamsodarncool 2022-04-05 18:31

Oh wow, so it does! Excuse the bug haha. On subsequent playthroughs, you can move the player during the opening cutscene to skip it. You're only frozen during the first playthrough.

Fun stuff! Neat little physics puzzles, and a humorous little story wrapping it all up. Had a good time playing, a little bit finnicky as others have mentioned but still fun.

mosman 2022-04-06 09:47

Did not expect this high quality voice acting in a gamejam hahaha. The physics puzzles and dynamic camera were very cool! Small stuff like that already sets it apart from a lot of pixelplatformers. Enjoyed it a lot:)

anaxie-studio 2022-04-06 13:53

Lmao the voice acting :laughing:

The whole time I thought she was saying "dog", which made it even better. Subtitles would have been nice for people who can't have sound on etc. Wasn't expecting a puzzle game, but the puzzles are neat and I like the tileset and camera effects. The music fits nicely too. Sadly, I too got stuck on the rope level, wish there was a way to retry a level.

Overall a nice entry, guys :laughing:

iamsodarncool 2022-04-06 14:47

@anaxie-studio You can restart the current level through the pause menu, which you can open with escape or P. Thank you for playing, and for the constructive feedback!

agrimes 2022-04-07 01:04

It only took until the end of the game to get to the punchline. Waited for it the entire time. Fun game!

stamperino 2022-04-08 18:07

oh, that was surely an experience

seniorwombat 2022-04-08 20:46

Epic voice acting xD. . Your game is really solid - nice music, clever puzzles and well implemented camera! Really cool entry - good job guys ;)

asukanami 2022-04-09 04:39

Love the intro, the voice over is very fun. The physics of the game is nicely done. Love the feeling of the bouncy rope. I got stuck at the water level, I can't jump onto the box. help please Screen Shot 2022-04-09 at 12.38.40 AM.png

iamsodarncool 2022-04-09 08:18

@asukanami The water controls are a little screwy. You have to swim down first, so that the buoyancy pops you out of the water when you come up.

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

This game was hilarious. I loved how it didn't take itself serious the whole time, and the ending was completely worth it. Especially as the dr did his thing in the final room LOL. We knew what was coming and it was still just executed flawlessly.

I also really enjoyed the level transition effect, especially when it expanded out to show there was more to a level halfway through. Really neat effect.

jonathan-lorenz 2022-04-15 13:37

Nice little platformer. The graphics were pleasent, the controls too ... but i think that the music loop is too short, it gets repetitive too quickly. I muted it after a few minutes. Good job overall, and bonus point for the humour!

evan-minto 2022-04-21 06:20

The voice acting is very funny. Not sure I’m into the ligma joke but maybe that’s just me.

I got stuck on the rope level. Couldn't jump back up. I mostly enjoyed the puzzles but the physics felt a little too simulation-y and too sensitive for my taste.

iamsodarncool 2022-04-21 19:28

Yeah the rope level is pretty annoying. Thanks for playing @evan-minto :)

pio 2022-04-21 19:41

What a funny game! And that ending haha! Certainly the funniest game I played this jam. It was also fun to play and the audio is great!
