Graphics are simple, but still very cool. Here's a small suggestion: use one of these screenshots to explain what's fuel and what are enemies. I ran into enemies twice (the red ball and the metalic things) thinking they were collectibles... u.u
Looks cool! I had to reload the page to try again. How do I restart the level?
Nice difficult game! Love the artstyle! Some feedback: - Let the player choose how much he wants to jump. Just let the hero fall as the key released. This rewards skill. - Move the 'full reset' key from T to somewhere far from R. I pressed T and lost my progress by mistake.
Cool idea! I couldn't reach the block on bottom left, though. The hints say I can push, but I didn't know how to do it...
I like the idea and the graphics, but I'm not really sure of what's going on. "Am I dying? I thinking I'm killing some guys, yeah." Humm.
Just not a big fan of mashing keys, the rest looks cool. If you mash enough you never run out of power, there should be a drawback, IMO!
Nice and hard game! Great job!
Very fun! Just give us an option to reduce the music volume!
This game a is masterpiece, keep rockin!
Hey! Great game! I read your postmortem and it seems you got covered what could be improved. In a quick addendum, I'd say the gameplay is simple, but effective. Adding more mechanics would be very nice.
I like the idea of the game. Here some feedback: - Make harder the punishment for failing the engine. All you need to do now is smash the spacebar and you will win anyway. - Give some more time between restarting the engine and pressing the spacebar. I barely could keep it running. - Put some clouds behind so the player can have a notion of it's going up or down.
Hey, nice work! Here's some feedback: - Start the submarine a little faster and drop more bombs. The start is very stale. - Reduce the collision box of the sub, got hit even when I was sure I was far enough. - Play the song in the gameplay scene. It was too quiet down there.
Your itch link is down. Maybe is not public yet? About the game, love the graphics and idea. Found it very hard to kill enemies without being hit. Good job overall.
Hey, great job! Music and graphics are awesome, as many said here. One quick bug, I had a crossroad of wires, like an Y, and the wires didn't connect in the center and only one connected to the ship, so I wasted a connection there. Anyway, solid game!
Wow, this is a gem in this jam! I love the artstyle, and the music is gorgeous! Keep it up!
Cool game, cool idea! I found a few bugs with the green-jump things, though (in my second attempt I couldn't jump on it to reach a higher panel, in my third attempt I was falling and hit the green wall and then I was floating and jump didn't work - then dead).
Hey! The idea of using rage as power is great! Also a good feeling to smash things. Good job!
Great puzzle that fits the theme perfectly. Awesome work!
Great work! I liked everything here: graphics, mechanics, sound and it's also fun. You have the base for a very good game.
Hello! Great game! At first I thought how easy it was to turn on curves and it shouldn't be like that, but this actually gives identity to the game, and the difficulty comes from the shadows, which fits the theme very well. If you want to keep the graphics this minimalist, I wouldn't think as a problem, but people might think it's not this great because of it. I'd ask just to keep an eye on color choices, like, the plain white on the track almost made me blind. Great job!
I.. NEED.. MORE.. COINS!!!!!!!!! D:
I broke the income number at the max DOUBLE(?) capacity, and can't get an upgrade for "Another One" even if I have the money. My fortune is growing strong, but I can't expend more. Please patch it. I NEED IT. Thanks. :D

Also, the fortune number is trillions, not billions. I'm (almost) sure that it cut 3 digits. Q_Q
Hi! Nice funny game! I enjoyed the humor you presented everything, the game, the controls, etc. A fast paced platformer is always satisfying to play. What I didn't understand at first was what I should do, other than survive.. Steal the barbecue are good, right? Eat the trash is good but no that much.. other things are all bad for you, right? Maybe you should include all these elements in the controls menu explaining what is bad and what isn't. Anyway, good job overall.
And thanks for the feedback on my game (Goonisher). :D
@lautregars I got a 46k score, but didn't get how anything made it worse later on (I mean, how getting the food or interacting with people affect you later on?). This time I realized I shouldn't avoid anyone, just the black thing. I think you could add you thoughts on the game page, or even make a postmortem post saying them, that will grant you more visibility and is very cool to other developers. Good luck! :)
Hey, good game overall! So, I tried to make reasonable choices, like, I can't give vacations to a guy that just got in, and then I lose all my money and the company collapses xD. I think some tweaking in values of how much money you lose at all choices and the chance of something go wrong are the key to a this game become perfect. Good luck!
Good job on mustache'ing the game. What I didn't like is that everything is against you and you can't win at all... Mustaches kill you, the guys kill you, the mods help you getting killed... hahahha
Good game overall! I like the artwork and mechanics, the music gets annoying after a short time (short loop hahaha).
Fixed download links, thanks!
@lautregars about the skills, it's written how they work at the start screen. Maybe people don't like to read them? or too much text? I guess in a normal game I would teach them one by one in a interactive tutorial, but no time for that in a jam xD.. Also, controller support would be really nice, completely forgot about it :| Thanks for the feedback!
@andreas-ragen-ayal I thought about the camera rotate with the mouse, but didn't had the time to implement, getting the keyboard inputs are so much easier, I think. About gems getting stolen and you being slowed, I should have put some fx or audio, but again, no time... The gems used to be bigger and you could see them being removed from you, but then I increase the rate they spawned and how much you could get, then I reduced their size and it became impossible to see anything xD. Glad you enjoyed the map! Thanks for the feedback!
@cubeeo yeah, I should've put Left-Shift, or coded them both. I didn't have problems with the Sticky keys because I knew in my head that I couldn't Dash more than once in at least a second, so I didn't spam it. Probably I should have used another key that wouldn't trigger these things. About the usability of the skills.. maybe I should reduce the cost or make them more useful to be worth using them along with the Dash. Thanks for the feedback!
Good to know I need more coffee than sleep to finish my stuff... ahahhahah.. good job!
Very fun, a lot harder than it looks. Very good utilization of the theme in an innovative way. Great job!
Hello, nice game! The mechanic to press yourself against a wall to align and distance properly the cubes is amazing. Also, great music and level design. On the third level, a box fell below the lower platform.. I thought it was on purpose, but then I thought I was actually a bug u.u great job overall!
@antoined73 I honestly didn't see how it went there... I was trying to undestand what I should do, randomly jumping to test the scenario, and then I saw the cube below the platform. Maybe it's a gap and the edge of the platform? Or a gap between them? Or even the cube falling too fast and skipping the whole platform hitbox? Sorry I couldn't help more.
Hi! Good game overall! I felt like it wasn't worth killing enemies because they blocked my bullets, so I just tried to keep my ammo at or near zero and run for the coins. Also, as enemies just follow you directly and just shoot at your direction, it makes just walk in circles to best way to avoid them and the bullets. Perhaps there should be more behaviors to make them more dangerous. Cool happy song too. =]
Very addictive game, great job! One thing to keep an eye, when you have enough speed (50% bonus or more), you can simply stay on bottom left corner spamming the space key and will hardly get hit. I managed to stay 3 minutes alive doing this.
Hi! I Love the artstyle and the mechanics, even though they are very simple. The critical point in the game is that it needs balance! You're giving too much time to colllect a few kittens, making it almost impossible to lose. Anyway, goob job overall.
And thanks for the feedback on my game (Goonisher). :D
