I really thought the mechanic was fun and enjoyed the effects. The platforming was tricky and gave me a little bit of a ribbon vibe. The upgrades were very important, so I might add some UI in the beginning to remind someone when they have enough scrap for their first upgrade or two. Overall well done!
That was fun! The art was excellent and music was spot on! Also had some hilarious dialogue.
Hahaha! Man this is awesome. I was rolling at my computer, running around fighting the other naked people for warmth. The icy ground was a nice touch to make navigating and finding the clothing a little more difficult. Well done! I thought you nailed the theme. I took it as more of a hunger games situation where these people are battling for the entertainment of others or something.
I'm sure you've got plenty of ideas for expanding on this. One thing, it seemed like once I had the same clothes as someone else, I couldn't knock anything loose from them, but I wanted to attack and MAKE them freeze! Haha!
That was sweet! I loved that intro and all those sweet transitions. You could of course expand on the gameplay a bit, but you guys have a real knack for timing and atmosphere. Well done!
I loved the opening, all the characters and the goofy dialogue! Game mechanic was great. Felt like Dwight at the garage sale in the office lol! Well done!
I loved the mood here, really nailed that category. I love the theme here and the way the music plays off of it. Would love to see some further progression with the enemies! Well done!
I beat it! That was difficult, but a lot of fun. You could really feel the impact of getting the new abilities. The boss fight felt really epic, well done! Timing the shots was tough, but I kind of got the hang of it. Art was solid, I enjoyed watching the world diminish.

Really enjoyed the art style and the atmosphere. I didn't know what I was doing, but it was fun to eventually feel like I was figuring something out. Given more time with it I think I would appreciate it more. Well done!
The pixel art was excellent! Really enjoyed the puzzle design as well. I definitely think there is more room to explore the idea, and maybe expand on the story of the ghost? There was a hint at some plot in the first book you possess, but not too much after that. I understand it's a game jam game, but in a full version I would enjoy uncovering more about our little green friend :).
Enjoyed the graphics, the humor and the bumpin' music after I got my stereo back! Good start to what could be a fun little side scrolling fighter with some more abilities and progression.
That was fun! Love the crazy looking Cactus boss. Definitely some cool ideas to progress with. I was a little sad that I couldn't make the enemies kill each other by dodging their arrows and having them hit each other :).
The narration at the beginning is a little long and the gameplay follows. Did you maybe not make it passed that?
@sometimesghost So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback! I agree about the checkpoint. If we decide to expand the game, that will definitely be a part of it!
@merkisoft Thanks for finding and pointing out that issue with the 'Enter' key. That should no longer be an issue.
Thanks for all of the feedback. Glad so many of you have enjoyed it. It really warms our heart to hear all this and gives us motivation to take our idea further.
I also appreciate the criticisms! Please keep that coming as well :) It would seem we need to spend more time tightening the control of the character and I would definitely love to take the time to do that!
