"Yeah!" Love this entry. It's creative, it's fast-paced and it feels nice to play. Each level escalates in difficulty just right, has the best congratulations level I've seen so far and most of all, feels a little Pizza Tower inspired, especially in the visuals (so I automatically love it lol). Gamepad comes highly recommended, but I noticed I couldn't lick upward with the d-pad. Music's good, the sound design is creative and it is just a plain ol' fun platform game about delivering pizza.
Excellent game, played all the way through. Fun to master.
Oh man. The graphics are stupid in the absolute best possible way - I love them, great style. I love his little courier hat. I laughed at the very first sound effect I heard. I love your music, great vibes.
I had a little trouble really getting the hang of the controls (on qwerty keyboard) so didn't go much beyond the first stage, but I had a smile on my face the whole way.
Y'ALL READY TO GET FUNKY??
Very fun game, nice and simple audio/graphics. I really liked the feeling of acceleration and how much the punch thrusted you forward. Wall jumping with tongue-grabbing was excellent too.

Glad to see fellow Pizza Tower enjoyers here! @mavvy @peterfiftyfour
Thanks for the feedback, I play and rate all of your games.
@daniel-gelband I don't have Linux on my PC right now so I couldn't try yours :(

10/10 this game will make you angry
Great job on the music, level design, basically everything. I laughed the whole way. I was able to beat all 3 levels. great job.
I understood how it works by pointing the joystick, but I'd like it if you could maybe get some kind of arrow indicator to where the toad will lick. :frog: :pizza:

Amazing game! I love the style, it is so hilarious to see your toad licking everything :laughing: The sound design is spot on.
And I see what you did with the lava location, smart and so frustrating to get tricked :laughing: I had way more fun that I anticipated and got addicted.
Strong entry, well done :thumbsup:

I think this is one of my favourite entries. It was so fun, not too hard but not easy at all, graphics were nice and perfect audio to go with the game. The vibes are immaculate
Really fun and awesome game! I loved the gamepad controls, made it so much better! great job you guys
Good controls, cool audio, nice level design, the game just works very well^^ As you stated it is a little more challenging using the keyboard, especially the last level, but I managed to play through it after a few tries^^ Good job on this submission!

Awesome entry!

Great entry! The sound design is top notch, and the physics and controls are superb!
My only complaint is that the level design is a bit too tricky. I feel like there were a lot of times where I had to dash through a brick wall, only to dash too far and fall in a pit of lava

Nice game, like the idea of using your tongue as sort of grapple hook.
Enjoyed the audo and visuals.
Gameplay wise I would improve the wall jumping a little bit as sometimes it felt awkward to jump between two walls, not sure why. Having checkpoints would also make the game much more accessible for the game jam given people will most likely spend no more than 10-15 minutes playing the game, thanks to this they would be able to see more levels.
Last thing, the shift key is not working for the lick action.
Cheers!
It's a very fun tower-like, I did indeed enjoy the pizza
yes, this is perfect. games like this are why i ldjam

great and funny game.. took some time to learn controls.. art is cute, consistent .. music fits the game perfectly
Haha this is a pretty fun little jam game! Nice work putting this together. Would have been a lot better if the keyboard controls weren't so awkward, should have considered using Q/E instead of C/V.
nice

Excellent ! I really liked the physics and the licking idea on this game. Surprisingly fun in its absurdity :D Nicely done.
Really nice game! I loved the sound effects!
Phenomenal work y'all, had so much fun with this one all around. I did indeed enjoy the pizza :) Was so much fun to fling the lil' guy around with its punching move. Great level design.

Instantly fell in love with it from the art alone and then solidified that with the gameplay. So much charm in this one and feels so polished!

I absolutely love the character sprites. A mood. This was a challenging and fun jam game! I agree with the keyboard controls being a bit awkward, +1 on Q/E rather than C/V. Really good vibes.
Interesting art style and very neat gameplay although the keyboard controls are a little awkward. Congrats on the entry
One of the most fun entries I've played so far!

The basic premise and gameplay were really fun. The character's movement and mobility were really goofy but also rewarding to get right. The tongue mechanic felt really good when navigating across obstacles, especially where it required tight timing. The game was a little short --- only two levels --- but for a game jam game that's usually not a bad thing. It's way better to make two great levels than ten rushed levels where the player gets bored after level five.
First thoughts on potential improvement on the gameplay side: - The movement felt a little slippery, which usually doesn't feel great for a precision platformer. I liked the fact that you were slow to build up momentum, but the character could stand to stop faster when trying to turn around or stop. - The wall jumping was a little finnicky, particularly the very last section where you had to swap back and forth rapidly. I kept bouncing off the walls slightly. - I really liked how the second level had a task you had to complete *after* picking up the pizza. If you had time for a third level, it would have been interesting to pick up the pizza very early but have to navigate multiple obstacles afterward without access to your tongue.
The graphics and audio were also very enjoyable. The graphics style was pretty simple, but the goofy character art and special animations for squishing against walls, etc. made it feel great to play. If you had time, it would have been great to add a little bit of squash and stretch when jumping and landing on the ground for the extra little spice.
I drew your delivery toad and added him to the cat-ear pixel-art fan art compilation on [my profile page.](https://ldjam.com/users/jeremy-ryan/)

Thanks for making this, and good luck during the rest of play and rate!
This was a blast to play, the animations and sound effects were spot-on funny, and the controls were intuitive.
Great work!
Awesome game! I like aesthetics and this hook mechanic...this is amazing.
