Pretty nice game, music is great, is stayed few minutes in the first "cave" listening to this chill guitar!
I played the game earlyer today and just came back to say it stuck in my mind as uniquely nice, lighthearted and friendly. Just all around good vibes :rabbit: :carrot: Thanks for making it!
Very adorable game, fun and entertaining. I could probably play this for hours, and it offers replayability! The audio is great, and the visuals are cute.
@neandi @Mortith Thank you for playing our game !!!
I enjoyed the SMB2/Doki Doki Panic inspired graphics and gameplay!
i love this game!!! :D the art is super cute and moving around the world felt very fluid. i really like the idea of a bunny that harvests special items to clear obstacles in a platformer. i also love the little side quests you can do and the fact that there are golden carrots. i think my only feedback would to make the golden carrots more visually distinct than the normal carrots when they're in the ground! i found myself digging up every single carrot to find a golden carrot which got tedious after a while.
i also found a bug; in the second level, inside the cave where you're introduced to the bomb tomato mechanic, if you run into the wooden wall with the bomb, the character is stuck in the arms up (holding an item) position and i'm unable to jump.
otherwise, this was such a solid entry- congrats!! would appreciate your feedback on our game as well :)
This was great. Loved the Super Mario Bros 3 like aesthetics, Super Mario Bros 2 like gameplay and the puzzle elements with the basketball rings and direction switches. Awesome work!
That was super fun!! Enjoyed my time, will definitely get all the carrots ...soon.
Loved the Super Mario 2 vibes, as others said, and I liked the subtle hints like the basketball cat at the beginning. Gorgeous art and the music was a really nice touch (though a little loud - had to turn my volume down!)

Thank you for your feedback and for playing our game!
Super cute and nostalgic. I loved this kind of art style for games back when I was a kid. This is so well made. Good job!
Fun game ! Level design especially is on point all along. The secret cave for example is simple yet fun and challenging. Well done !
Merci d'être passé sur le stream, encore une fois le jeu est vraiment propre gg :D
Nie jumping mechanic and the overall art style! And I adore retro games
Fun little Mario 2-ish experience with an emphasis on puzzle elements. I found it really charming, nice work!
Bravo ! Great game, so much content for this kind of entry, had fun looking for all the yellow carrots ! Graphics are top notch, controls are great, good job !
Cute little game! Very simple mechanics, nothing ground breaking but so cutely executed!
Really great game!
Very nice game. I like it. Good work.
You took me back a few years to Super Mario 2 loved that game, ty for this trip down memory lane. Good game nice scene change and music switches.
Wow! You got so much content for 72 hours! + As a huge Nintendo fan, I really love the SMB2/Doki Doki panic art style. + I found the game was a bit too easy for me, but it was fun nonetheless. + Level 3 Leek Mountains' gimmick was really creative, I liked it a lot. + I liked the edition of golden carrots, as it adds a lot of replay value, however I found that there were too many of them per level. + I found a bug in Level 2 Tomato Cave, the game says that you can't jump while holding a tomato, but if you press the jump button right after you land on the ground, or at the edge of a platform, you will jump even while holding the tomato. + Really nice entry! Had a lot of fun. :carrot: :smile:
Bravo à vous, le jeu est adorable :raised_hands:
J'ai beaucoup aimé en particulier le pixel art et le thème pacifiste.
it looks really nice - i am currently on mobile so i need to test this later (Just left this comment to get notifications to find the link later haha).
Lots of good ideas in this one, and well executed ! Great thumbnail too I think the pace was a bit slow since you were encouraged to pick up all carrots on your way
Was this inspired a bit by A Short Hike? Really really cute game! I did think the "check every plant" thing for collecting golden carrots was a lot of clicking, but it worked well enough.
@nardandas Yup we both love this game and it shows :)
So now i played it and in my opinion its one of the best games for LD52 :) Can you just change that Space is jump ? Holding Up for jump is a bit annoying :)
who know i would enjoy throwing carrots at everything, really good old vibes, mario like, and well polished.
a classic but very well executed the only downside to this game is the jumping noise ^^.then A lots of attention on the detail, a clever world building sommes of the cutes character, throw in that a couple of clever dialogue and you've got yourself a banger ! hats down .
Nice game, enjoyed it a lot. Good design of mechanics and levels, very pleasant experience.
I return to comment that I have done it: Screenshot 2023-01-12 203744.jpg
I also want to say that I exploded the secret wall in the cave where you exit and it's the point of no return, but it was empty inside... weirdly enough I did still get all the golden carrots.

The climb to the top wasn't that difficult after all xD I think I did it on my first go. The secret cave was more difficult, cause sometimes bunny would slide and the jump wouldn't activate when that happens, OR I'd jump to the platform on the left and the middle one would just fall down even if I didn't jump on it, so I'd fall and the timer would restart... QmQ that was painful. BUT I SUCCEEDED!!!
@rincs Congratulations !!!
Yeah we forgot about this part of the cave level oops
@chevalbancal I redid level 1 and 2 once cause I thought my web messed it up somehow so I refreshed lol.
Neat game! You can see the SMB2 inspiration immediately and I think its a neat direction to go with the theme. I could only play one level unfortunately, as the screen scrolling was giving me a headache, but from what I played, it's a pretty neat game! Nice work!
It is incredibly impressive how much content you managed to produce in the jam time. And that with just two people! I'm amazed! I loved all the little unique mini games and quests. The graphical style and music is beautiful and consistent. The gameplay kept staying fun and interesting throughout. All in all, a fantastic and cute experience <3
Thanks for submitting your game on the stream! Here’s the start of your game if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts youtu.be/qbBq_nBKk5k?t=12585
Amazing entry, incredible how much content you managed to pack in over such a short time! Congrats on such a great game!
This is such an awesome game! I must admit, I was a bit scared it would feel like a lot of mario. But to be honest, I wist mario would feel and play like this! It is such a diffrent game! With all kinds of little quests and secrets. I chuckled at the "other only fox" for instance, that was awesome and something one would not have a lot of time for in an LD gamejam. The little birds flying away is also a very cool touch. This game is so polished, that I can see myself in the reflection! Nothing else to say that, great job!
Fantastic entry! This was a great, unique spin on the Mario 2 formula. I'm amazed at how much content you were able to pack into this, and it turned out wonderfully!
adorable game, with incredible graphics and animations, movements were very fluid. i really liked the ambiance!
some minigames are a little bit unbalanced (like the basketball one is really hard compared to the lettuce one) but it was a really nice game to play, great job!

Besides knowing what game this is clearly inspired from, this game is clearly well-polished.
Really nice game, I loved it (:thumbsup:)! It looks and feels exactly like what you were going for, along with avoiding being exactly the same thing; it's got the aesthetic, along with enough unique gameplay (and minigames) to differentiate it from the originals and be it's own full game! At times extremely hilarious (Celeste and Super Smash Bros. references made me laugh), and otherwise super charming game!
Great job, keep it up both of you! :wave:
Great puzzle platformer! Loved the Mario throwback vibes and callbacks to games like Celeste. The art was great: consistent, clean, and cute! The controls were really nice and responsive - all arrow keys! I did run into an issue where the player character was stuck in the holding an item state after a bomb blew up while I was holding, luckily changing zones fixed it. Loved the different puzzles and activities within the game, well designed. Really polished feedback, the sfx were just right and the music set the tone, but did get a little repetitive.
Glad to hear that your team is working on a post-jam version. I wish that you didn't have to recollect all the golden carrots for it to count, in the post-jam maybe you could do the Mario style transparent/outlined carrot for ones you've already collected and not require players to recollect everything. I'd also suggest making down key enter door ways, it felt to me down was "interact". There were multiple times where I accidentally went through a door when I meant to jump.
Amazing work!
Really knocked it out of the park in terms of graphics. Love the inspiration taken from the one true Super Mario Bros 2. Great game, and good work!
A post-jam version is already released! It corrects multiple bugs and add refined backgounds. An overall better experience with the same levels (lightly changed) https://wobblyhorse.itch.io/doki-doki-ninjin-game
Solid entry! I loved how you took SMB2/Doki Doki Panic and spun it into a more unique take without sacrificing what makes those games fun to control. I had a lot of fun and 100% the game, only minor nitpicks 1) boxed golden carrots can be grabbed if you're next to the box idk if thats intended 2) the music in caves sounds a bit too loud, maybe provide a volume meter or something? 3) I caused a bug by entering a minigame room at the last level and immediately leaving it causing the ticking to follow me, I didnt mind as much because I was only one golden carrot away from 100%
One of most complete and cute game on this LD edition. It`s really impressive for a 72h game.
Congrats! It`s a really master piece. For me, a 5/5 game.
One of my favorites!
Awesome game!! Some of the carrots were hidden behind really fun puzzles. I enjoyed the level design and the many different interactions. One of the more "complete" games I played on this jam. Had a lot of fun playing it.
It's amazing how much content you guys managed to fit in in such short amount of time, and gives me a lot of joy knowing someone else took inspiration from the same games we did :) Excellent job team!
Thank you everyone for playing and rating our game! It means a lot!
Thank you for the game! It made me nostalgic for Super Mario 2! The music is great and the pixel art is very nice too!
The first stage was really fun, but the second stage got a bit on my nerves with going back and forth. Also, the game started to lag a bit on the browser, and there was some glitching with you being able to jump with the tomatos if you pressed jump just as you were picking the fruit -- not sure if that was intentional.
Looking forward to see what you do with the full version!
I just finished playing the post-jam version and things are still just as good!! I do think that having up be jump and enter is a better key layout, I think, or maybe "enter" instead of "x". It was just nice to keep things with just one hand...
Anyway! I did notice a few things:

This bug was fixed after I entered a door, but this happened when I was furiously uprooting carrots.

This house might need a few patches or the rain will get in xD
Here's my final tally~
Screenshot 2023-01-18 231654.jpg
@rincs thank you for trying out the postjam version ! Yeah we fixed some bugs but forgot some or added new ones lol Congrats on the 100%
@chevalbancal I did enjoy the changes you guys added, including the falling cabbage colletion minigame in East City. It wasn't until I remembered the introduced mechanic in Leek Mt. that I realized what to do... sneaky!!!
I really enjoyed that game. It's very generous in content for a 2-person JAM entry, and most importantly fun to play, amazing work!
Great graphics, cool music and really nice super mario bros 2 gameplay - I love digging things up, very intuitive! Also the puzzles were really well done.
Thank you @rincs and congrats for the 100% !! What did you think about the subtle color change on the sprout of golden carrots?
@entropea I both liked and also disliked it? So it's weird xD. I enjoyed that they were easy to find, but part of me missed pulling out all the carrots for the *secrets*... if that makes sense.
There's a pro and a con, I suppose. xD It did make the golden carrots feel less like a secret, unless they were hidden behind something else.
Very nice platformer! I enjoyed the talking animals and they even were annoyed if you threw them with a carrot. Nice little puzzles and platforming that took lots of good things from Super Mario 2
Only thing that left me wondering was that doors were little misleading when they show an arrow down, but you have to press 'up' to get inside. Otherwise good and pretty tight controls :)
Great amount of content in such a little time!
Very adorable game, fun and entertaining. The art was really good. 10 out of 10
Congratulations for a big game in a short game jam! You added some nice twists to the classic jump'n'run: - I like exploding tomatoes - I like in general the game mechanic of harvesting Very nice/ solid graphics. Controls are good (not yet production like, as they feel a little bit stiff). And please add controller support in later version. I give you 9 golden carrots out of 10!
It was fun experience, I liked the gprahics and the gameplay for some time, but I had a real urge to turn off the music :)
This game is so incredibly cute! It's such a loving homage to Doki Doki Panic / Mario 2, all the art and characters were super well done and adorable. I really liked the different gimmick plants you could collect, like the Cherry Bombs and the Leek Propellers. The character dialogue was fun, and I love that you have to be nice to the NPCs to get a perfect score. I have no idea how you guys managed to cram so much content into a jam entry. Incredible job!
➕cute graphics
➕great characters and "quests"
➕interesting interpretation of the theme
➖ not found)
A super enjoyable and solid platforming experience! This merges some of the best mechanics from Mario 2 and Mario World, and has a nice mixture of platforming, quests, and puzzles. I really like the small hints and funny dialogue from animals. The optional challenges are great - stuff like finding all the medals, golden carrots, and the Super Secret Cave. It's also amazing how many levels and areas you guys designed in such a short time. I love the different level sprite variations like the snow on level 3. Very, very well done!
Very cute game. Artwork feels a little too similar to SMB2, but it does look really good. Lots of fun platformer mechanics, and they're all well used. The physics are a little bit off to me, but it was still a lot of fun to play. Great job.
This is incredibly impressive, especially since it is like a Super Mario 2 game. The music was getting a bit repetitive but the sound effects were very nostalgic which is good in my books. I had some trouble getting past the basketball hoop part in the LD version of the game so I almost gave up and had to try the post-jam version which cleared things up a bit. Overall, can't wait to see the final!
ADORABLE!!!!
love the super mario 2 vibes, nicely polished, and the guitar music was really chill :)
Nice game! I enjoyed exploring and looking for ways to get the golden carrots. I found myself going in and out of doors a few times instead of jumping, so it would have been nice to have a dedicated jump button. Great music and atmosphere, well done!
Very good entry! Cute, fun, rich, and challenging! I gave up searching the 4 carots I missed in Tomato cavern, the 2 I missed in East town, and the 2 rewarded for the 15 salads minigame (the better I managed to get is 13). Very well done!
great game had fun good job
