1:33:16 🥵 Those boss attacks are quite tricky to avoid

Good job, that was fun. Loved the music

Neat and accessible retro-platformer with retro-feeling controller and looks. Lens distortion is a bit too much though =)

Awesome little game! Graphics and music were phenomenal. For some reason, arrow keys didn't work for me, so it was a bit awkward playing with WASD controls, but other than that, I managed to complete the game. Nice work. :)

Wow it's really intense kkkkk The fisheye effect on the TV is well done!

mrmaico 2025-10-06 22:07

WOW! Good job. Simple but very very effective. I can see people speed running this! Not me, as I'm bad gamer.

so cuteeeee !!

Fun little game! Nice artwork and controls. My total time was 1:35:49. The last stage was a little tough, but was able to get past it!

Very nice graphics

The only improvements that I see would be more levels and some sort of wind up on the bosses charge attack. Enjoyed playing it, good job.

Oh boy, the music immedately cought me!! And I love the juicy sound effects and CRT shader - great entry, kudos!

Nice retro vibes and spicy hardness. Defeating the mouse boss was a bit tricky though already in the second level.

Awesome graphics and music!.

Very pleasant game. A nice and unique play on the Donkey Kong formula. I have nothing constructive to say, though at the end I yearned for more levels.

Heyyy I think I recognize this crt shader xD Looks awesome though really convincing vibe, menus are smooth as well. Music slaps, I was immediately bobbing up and down in my chair :D OMG DID I STRUGGLE at that first level lol (I honestly thought that was the end of the game when I finally beat him but was pleasantly surprised you managed 3 levels!!). By the third I felt like I had true mastery (even though I'm probably still really bad). Awesome job!Screenshot 2025-10-10 at 01.24.31.png

I hated that damn glasses-wearing mouse!!! I’m terrible at games like this, so beating the boss was really tough - but also super satisfying! The retro vibe is awesome - music and visuals work perfectly together. Fantastic game!

graebor 2025-10-10 20:24

Dang this is hard!! Great job though, and the music rules.

lectvs 2025-10-11 20:45

Fun game and great music!! Only complaint I have is that the boss should have a tell before he's about to dash. Otherwise great stuff! :smile:

lookslikesomething 2025-10-11 20:47

Love the retro vibe ! That's a great game, very hard though!

johnnysix 2025-10-13 20:58

Very cool - loved the character style - very much akin to the old 8-bit era loaded from a tape machine!

Bonus points for the music - great job there. I couldn't make it past the first level, too old and slow for anything that requires skill or reaction time :smile:

It felt really hard until i realized that you could just run straight to the book and use the generous invincibility.

madr 2025-10-14 16:53

@jacobingalls oh, record time! So the invincibility makes You go trough the cage... ok, playtest playtest playtest :D Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!

Really nice and fun game! It gives off strong Donkey Kong vibes(I used to play that a lot as a kid). The graphics and music are super cool and I love the retro screen effect. Great job!!
