Oh wow!!! I want a phone version! Great job.
I'm too good at this game — I dare someone to beat me! : 2min 59sec [SpeedMaratus.JPG](///raw/eec/84/z/676a2.jpg)
Well done, guys! I loved the effort put into the Maratus animation, and the level design was perfect. Really appreciate it! Shoutout to the little feedback of the trajectory — I hate doing that in my own games, It could have taken me the whole jam to do it. Congratulation ❤️
This feels really polished!
I loved the use of the blurry art to create perspective and atmosphere. The art, animations, music, and gameplay were on point. Did it with 19/21!
My only recommendation is to adjust the hitbox, it felt weird that sometimes nothing stopped me from jumping under a branch/rock.
your game looks really cute, and gameplay is nice, i love it!

i got stuck :(
Very cute!!! I love the visuals, audio and jumping mechanics
I really loved the gameplay, and I've always been a fan of the click and drag mechanic. The art is really nice and polished. I've stumbled on a few instances around rocks, would make the spider lose collision and be in a free-fall. Took me a few tries to realize that you can double-jump :laughing:
All in all, really cute game!
It's a cute and relaxing game.
Best game I've come across! Love to double jump mushroom. The particle effect was really nice to know they were there when the mushroom was out of camera. Lovely graphics and animations especially the dance at the end! Good job!
This game is so cute and seems really polished, the style is lovely, it's intuitive to play and the goal of helping this adorable little spider find love gives you motivation to keep playing.
nice and polished game well done !
This is probably one of those games that doesn't bug and I was able to complete it! Interesting jumping technique, I found it relaxing.
Very cute game, Love the animations. gameplay was smooth with clear jump trajactory. Good job !
Really cute, I love the spider's animations, sounds and music! Lovely idea with the jumping spider in general, I have a lot of them around the house and they're my favorite little arachnids. I think I found a small bug where after a while, probably after landing in a weird position, my spider kept on walking on front legs only with back feet in the air. It was a cute bug though :D
The level of immersion is very high, largely thanks to the talented artist behind the graphics of this game. I really loved its appearance. The design of the spider captivated my heart. As for the gameplay, I liked it. It is intuitive and easy to understand, with mechanics that can help you relax. Well done!
Such a cute game! I love it sooo much! I haven't noticed any flaws while playing, it's so polished!
The jump is responsive, the thajectory is always clear (I **really** appreciate that), the animations are so bouncy, sfx gives nice feedbak and ambient music makes the experience meditative. It's just perfect.
And while it's easy to play, it's hard to master! There is some room for competetive speedrunning haha. I still have some room for improvement though! (current record: 1:49)

@risminator My biggest respect. 100% speedrun in 1:49 is impressive. No wonder that spider is in love :)
0% speedrun possible?! (it is challenging to NOT get any leaves haha)

@risminator You made me laught so hard :D
Just reminded me to put an info in the game description, that you can open a menu to restart with ESC, Q or P :) Thanks for that.
@robin-schmitz I think that the restart button should be checked, it freezes the game for me :(
Simple and well polished game. nice one! I got only 4mins
Really cool project! The atmosphere and theming is unmatched, and chaining mushroom jumps felt great after the initial learning curve. Solid work all around
very atmospheric game
nicely polished game, the artstyle is great! I like the feeling of jumping on the mushrooms but I feel like it would be cool to have more in a row and something to keep momentum idk, but anyways great job!
Loved that game. Stuning visuals
Very cute game, and nice graphics. Well done !
The atmosphere is splendid! I got stuck on a few times, but overall, the momentum in this game is super fun; it’s like if Spider-Man was a spider! The slow-motion also adds a nice touch. While the story is simple, it’s super cute nonetheless. Great job overall!
🕷️🍃💖🕷️🍃💖🕷️🍃💖
such a lovely game. I never thought playing as a spider is so much fun. Now I love spiders :spider: Screenshot_20241009_234911.png
Magic levitating spider!

This game is really pretty and cute! I love the little spiders. Trying to get all the leaves was fun. I got stuck once but with the "load last checkpoint" button it was no problem. Very well made!
Nice idea. I struggled to get the hang of the movement, but it was fun to get around. I did get stuck fairly often though, wedged inbetween rocks and such. Good game tho.
amazingly cute! the end got me <3
the slow motion on jump was cool but i kept wanting to do like multiple jumps while mid-air, that'd change the game mechanic a bit but that'd make room for more approaches. also this has a high speedrun value haha

A cute simple game)
@risminator thanks for your feedback, we've fixed restarting :) Couldn't let our most commited player down, could we ;)
Screen Shot 2024-10-10 at 5.07.30 PM.png Got soft-locked right at the start when I hit a mushroom with upward momentum. Fun game otherwise, the controls are very intuitive.
Impressive mecanics! Can be a bit finicky, and I guess VERY hard to get right, development wise, so picture me impressed, well done! Really clever mecanic, congratulations
The gameplay was super smooth, and the animations were all very cute. Nice work!
awwww, this is such a cuuute game! Absolytelly love the art, mechanics are also really cool and i think with some polish would be a treeeeat to play! (rn i was stuck on a loooot of mushrooms) Overall really cute and silly game, loved playing it!
The jumping mechanic's fun if a little tricky to get the hang of at times. The presentation is absolutely gorgeous! I particularly like the slight sort of grainy effect you get in a few places, it just fits really well. Music is lovely and calming as well!
Fun little game!
A very pleasant and atmospheric game. Of course, sometimes you get stuck and I still don’t understand why PlatformEffector2D couldn’t be added to some branches, but overall I liked it.
