Fun gameplay loop, the simple 3 color art style definitely works in the game's favor; it's always clear where the obstacles are and the music is very pleasant. The only thing potentially holding it back is lack of variety, but what is there is solid enough that it isn't much of a problem.
Short and sweet, but very sweet. The gameplay is smooth and the music is ear-candy. The only way I feel it could be improved aside from more levels would be slightly increasing the movement speed, but that's really about it!
@offdutyextractors thank you for the feedback! All were problems I wanted to address but didn't have time to, unfortunately. A potential "full release" would likely include an endless mode (on top of more room variety, bosses, items, etc), which would hopefully alleviate the main problems.
@zoarfy I'm glad you enjoyed it! Chests have a 75% chance to contain coins (between 75 and 125) and a 25% chance to contain a random item. The drop rate between coins/health/keys/chests is split 25% each, but I agree that certain loot like keys should be more common than chests.
It's just like the real thing except more fun and no consequences! Simple concept pretty much perfectly executed, great job!
One of, if not the cutest game I've seen this jam! Art, music, and gameplay all fit together like gloves to 3 handed aliens. Easy to understand concept and overall a really fun puzzle game! Great job!
I'll be pushing to get this game to be the legal definition of 'weird and wonderful'. Hilarious, if not slightly frightening concept, paired with accessible and easily understandable gameplay, what's not to like? (other than the fact you're always a half second away from murdering a cute animal baby in cold blood)
loved this! addictive and fun gameplay paired with a perfect soundtrack and beautiful art!
Fun short game! Once you get used to the camera and controls, beating every level as fast as possible is super satisfying. God job!
This is a fun time! Gameplay is simple, but not to a fault, the goal is easy to understand without any words. The second chance mechanic is smart in both concept and execution, great feature! All that's missing is music, but for a 48 hour game, this is very well made. Good job!
@maychant thanks for the feedback! there are 3 total endings, with 6 different possible paths leading up to them.
This is great fun! Solid concept and perfect execution! Everything feels so smooth and satisfying, a game I'll definitely be playing again in the future! Well done!
Fun game, reminds me of the stuff I used to play after coming home from school. Once I figured everything out, I played for quite a long time, all it needs is a bit of polish and you've got something really great, well done!
A difficult, but fun game! I loved the art style, and the audio was very fitting. It'd be nice to have a couple more seconds before getting a game over, but still a great game!
Great little game! What it lacks in length it makes up for in how polished it is! After beating it for the first time, I immediately went back and beat it again. A super super specific thing I liked was the puff of smoke that appears when landing, idk but it stood out to me lol
Short and sweet! Takes a while to get used to, but is pretty fun once you do! The music is great and makes the many deaths worth it
Despite seeing the screenshot, I wasn't expecting that zoom-out. Such a unique take on a platformer and executed perfectly! (also the music slaps, good job!)
The art and audio really create a great mood! I like the combination of using a gun and magic, but I think the player should be able to move while shooting. The ending was a bit anticlimactic but everything is pretty polished! Good work!
I loved the art style, and the mood was on point, it feels like a haunted ps2 game! I think that the tasks could be a bit easier, I found myself getting lost quite a bit, but I stuck with it to the (slightly confusing, albeit beautiful) ending!
I'm a sucker for score attack arcade-y games, and this is exactly that! The gameplay is great, I love the idea of combo-ing different items for more points, the only thing I would change is maybe give the player a bigger hitbox, it feels a bit unforgiving at times. Great entry!
