Nice. It would be easier if we could use the arrow keys instead of wasd.

Cute graphics, I like the dog. Good color palette.

I was able to use the arrows to move left and right, but not up to climb the ladder. With what the other binds are, I agree with the above poster that full functionality on the arrow keys would be helpful.

Good work and congrats on your 2nd jam!

I like it but can't finish 3rd level because of inputs mapping :( Would be the best if jumping and climbing ladder was mapped to up arrow. The gravity needs a little tweaking too I guess because the dog falls very fast sometimes! Animation is nice, reminds me of some old comedy anime like dr. slump or games with kunio-kun EDIT: Ok managed to complete all levels!

Cute cute cute! Nice game play too! Great job!

Cute graphics! Could use some cute music to match. A bit short but you get the gist of it. Pretty fun to race the box even if it took me quite a few tries:sweat_smile:!

This is so cute! It felt very intuitive, I liked the way the controls felt. I would definitely play an expanded version!

Really funny an cute game. It's amazing, that you did this in 72h!

Solid work for compo, childhood vibes. The only thing that happened for me is that it kinda bugged out in the finish and didn't trigger but for that (time) constraints - well done.

Amazing game. The art is pretty nice. The controls are good. The mechanics are interesting and fit well with the theme. I would've loved to have more levels. Nice work man!

Fun game, great pixel art, always happy to see a well-made tutorial like that. The difficulty increase was just right and the last level gave me a real challenge. Good job :thumbsup:

That it doesn't grab the ladder automatically, and that it is quite erratic even when you press "up", detracts a few points.

Really fun platformer with some innovative mechanics! The race stage was especially challenging but a blast to play. Nice job!!

This is a very cute platformer game, and I love the little dog that pops out at the end of each level. I really wish I could give its head a good pat as a reward!

Beautiful pixel art. The dog is very cute. The tutorials were informative. After many tries, I made it through the 3rd level. Fun little game!

Something needs tweaking: It's weird that I can move with the arrow keys, but aren't able to climb ladders with the UP key, so I had to use WASD. And the ability to jump away from the ladders might improve the control experience.

I also spent some time in the 2nd level thinking I would have to throw the package straight into the tube. But it turned out that the tube works by grabbing the package like a vacuum cleaner :laughing:

Very fun and cute game you made here. Since the last level took a few tries, I didn't get the felling it is to short for a jam game.

I like the central idea of having to carry an object that changes what your character can/can't do. And the idea of the pipes is interesting. I feel like this would make more sense as a puzzle platformer, actually - figuring out ways to progress with the box through networks of pipes, etc. As a (really punishing) platformer, I feel like the potential is a little lost, the box doesn't add much to the game. Definitely more to explore with this mechanic, I think.

Graphics and vibe is really cute!

Overall solid entry.

This is very cute, I'd love to see more done with this mechanic. I wish you could control the character with the arrow keys as well -- doing everything left-handed felt kind of weird, and you could move with left/right but up/down didn't climb on ladders. Other than that, I think this is pretty cool! Level design was interesting and it was fun to try and line everything up perfectly on the last level (though the timing/collision felt a little tight when trying to re-grab the box, haha). Good job!

Nice platform game! I might be able to complete this game if I could change the control scheme to my liking.
