The wall kick mechanic is sooo much fun once I figured out how it worked. Also lol I love the game over screen.
I liked a lot the wall kick, and the story telling at the start too.
Took me five tries to get the good ending Nice platformer, nice world building and narration, love the art, especially the intro. I like that it's clear enough you didn't need to put text into it. The caves are a nightmare to explore, I got lost a lot, but I guess that was the intention. 2023-10-04_00-37-27.png
The sprites are nice and I like the design of the characters, they look cute! Ditto what orangeoceans said, the wall kick mechanic is a lot of fun once I figured it out
Love the game, pretty fun to play, finished with only two tries, on my first one i got lost and i had trouble getting to the last one hahahaha. Great work!
mechanics are very interesting and the art! lovely :)
Nice Game. Loved the movement in generall, even if i think the wall jump could be adjusted, especially on occasions, where speed and height could be needed. Really cute graphics (Except the bad end/dying screen, which was not that cute, but funny) and also catchy soundtrack. One adjustment suggestion: There was no indication where the rest of the characters could be. Felt a bit frustrating running through a second time, because i forgot one pathway. Maybe a "map" or possibly a navigation button, which shows arrows in the direction of the missing characters.
SOOOOOOOO CUUUUUTE!!! I LOVE the art! Love the main character! And I WILL find all the characters and save everyone!!!
This game is so great, the action is smooth, I enjoyed exploring this cave and the concept of saving people brings a lot of positive feedback. Well done!!!
Such a fun little game! I love how fast it feels. Great job!
Great graphics and cool kick mechanics. But I found the speed too fast, it was as if I were walking on ice. It would be nice to also allow jumping with w or up arrow, in addition to space. Also use the arrows, sometimes I prefer to use the arrows. I found it too difficult at the beginning, all areas seem inaccessible unless I'm not jumping enough. I kick the wall and climb in some places, but others seem impossible. I didn't see the difficulty progression, but the visuals are very good, I just found the gameplay complicated
Nice game! Movement felt good and wall kicks were fun to use. Cutscenes and dialogs were great and worth looking forward to when rescuing a new character. The cave was a bit large to navigate, maybe if there were some landmarks or color variation or pickups/enemies to clear out then it would be easier to remember where I'd been and where to explore later.
Cute little game, giving me a cursor made me think the mouse would be used though, would have like a tutorial and a way to reduce the volume of the music! Would also be nice to see how many people I've saved! All together a really fun entry, very nice work.
I only managed to save two people but I did my best until the timer ran out! I like that you can return to the entrance to talk to the people you've rescued. As a suggestion, it would be nice if while talking to them they also offered some information on how many people you still need to find and rescue. Fun entry, as others have said the wall kicking is a cool mechanic.
Fun game. Interesting take on walljump and kind of satisfying. Besides that the player controller was fine for a jam game, the jumps were a bit frustrating at times. Cayote time and mer finetuning would have been nice. But it is understandable that you don't have time for it on a jam. The characters were interesting and unique and the music was bopping, kind of reminded me of old megaman. Not the most creative take on the theme(the theme was kind of hard). But over all a nice game! I enjoyed it! Good job!
Ayyy, what a charming game ! Glad to see other platformers, this game is REALLY good.
The wall jump mechanic feels a bit weird the first 30 seconds lol but it's really well implemented and easy to use once you figure out how to. Love the simple graphics and the cutscenes, the pixelart is really nice and chara designs too, sad we got to see so little lore behind the characters but really nice, especially for 3 days wow. I LOVE the music as well, it fits really nicely, and the sound effects are cool too.
The gameplay and level design are really cool, and I like the fact that it's possible to skip to the rightmost guy (when he gets back at camp) from jumping under him and walljumping. Even though it took me 3 tries to get everyone (didn't find the way to the access to the top part of the game at first, and died to the timer the second time lol), it didn't feel boring to replay the whole thing.
Lovely cutscenes as well, with funny dialogues too from the characters ! I wish there had been a layout/minimap of the level somewhere (with like war fog at places you haven't gone to) cause it took me a while to figure out where the 2 last guys were (on top), but I guess this makes sense since this is a cave it lol. That's what they get from not digging aeration vents to the surface lol, humidity really destroyed the cave (and the main character lmao, I love the intro cutscene it's so silly and does a nice job to put the amtosphere of the game, which gets not that silly at the end when you fail to save everyone and feel the weight of your actions on your shoulders).
I think I got all the endings (there are 4 is that right ?), love the gory blood and the hand sticking out when you fail to go back in time to the camp lmfao.
I hope people speedrun the game, it looks like it'd be really fun to do so !
