Haha, a funny bat with a minigun! Looks like teleportation does not work when you are too close to the wall.
Oh, the Earth Worm Jim space races!
Haha, quite fun character! I love animation frames, how it jumps and smashes everything with his pick.
Pleasant art and mood, boat and rope physics are perfect, but controls are bit clunky and I felt bored...
Wow, pleasant controls! It was exciting to get through!
Looks and feels neat!
Fun characters you have!
Good entry, the mood and audio is awesome! Animations are perfect, characters are cute and funny. It reminds me of Vangers. Didn't get to the end if it was there. Had no idea of what cage does. But overall it's quite interesting even with all the flaws! Hope for the release!
@oddmes buildings are generating you resources to build everything and take up space on your blocks. Blocks are needed to build new buildings and make getting out of the abyss easier. So without buildings you will have no resources to build, but with a lot of buildings you will lack blocks that may be expanded to the top. Also buildings are destructible, so if you make a mistake while building you'll pay with your income. I think you probably had not much time to figure everything out. In our hand, we have planned a bit more and had no time to implement everything, but even in the current state it seems working pretty well.
@thesmellofoxygen thank you for the feedback! The game is about exploration, it's a sandbox system made to feel logical. So we assume that the player is the one who should find the exit and a way to get there using the tools provided. There are a lot of hints, and making any detailed tutorial will render the game pointless and boring...
To build blocks taller you need to provide more support, the game tells you explicitly. So your "tower" shouldn't look like one but more like a hill. It is possible to win using only planks, without even placing a single block. To connect plank with two nails you should start building a plank on another plank and end it on the second plank, it's pretty straightforward.
Art is quite nice, you definitely got pleasing forms!
Good cutscenes art and style!
Fun little game, quite pleasing. I'd fixed the death while standing and pressing space.
The vibes! Music is awesome!
It resembles a game Wappo that I've played on the old cell phone... Good job!
I have no words.
Looks good! Reminded me of Gear Up! Feels nice to play, but not very responsive. Love the boats, AO works really well! Gameplay loop is fine, but I wish it had more progression! I hope you'll a release after the Jam, good luck!
Such a nice little project and poor little dog! I wish I had a GameBoy to play it! Found two endings, the bad one was my first! It took me some time to get everything right! Had some bugs, but it was fun still! Some of my founds: - sprites are lagging when you select multiple items in inventory - feed icon is not displayed when the creature is grown - unlimited levelup without the need to feed the creature after some levels - dialogue is sometimes shown out of bounds at the top of the screen
Wish you good luck and I think more people should play and rate your game! I will be glad to play it again and hope for the release!
Haha, it reminded me of old PS1 3D platformer games like Spyro, especially the music, love it! I think a CRT filter and a limited resolution would make it better! Nice controls!
Ahaha, cool music, vibin!
Solid!
Perfect vibes! Had zero photos taken, haha, but I was satisfied a lot. One of my favorite entries!
Nice idea! Really love the engine sound!
Had some fun, love the music! Red is a bit weird with two abilities in one. Zoom has only two values and both are bad... Apart from that everything is fine! Audio works well and everything feels responsive. Cute project, thank you!
Beat the game, it was fun and chill! The music is good! Looks like you need to fix collisions for your character, he fits through small holes even in bigger size.
This looks insane...
The penultimate level made me think a bit, nice audio and style! Good job!
I pulled myself away from the game to write a comment. Perfect captivating entry! Good job!!! Love buildings and icons!
This is demonically attractive.
Good atmosphere, this is the most wonderful thing!
The feel...
