I wasn't able to mine things. Maybe I couldn't tell because there appear to be no sound effects, just music. How you could improve: Try downloading a program called BFXR. It's a free sound generator that a lot of people use. To avoid that annoying bounce when the player walks into colliders, check if there's a collider next to the player. You could do this in many ways. One thought that springs to mind is: when the player collides with another, check the relative position and then disallow that motion of movement, so for example, if the collider is above the player, allow movement in all directions other that up. I don't do this style of games so that might not work but it's a thought. Good work though!
Very cool! I like how the game develops and gets harder. One thing is the space bar beat is a little before the actual beat (might just be a html5 thing) so it's hard to time things. Well done!
Great game! Awesome graphics and sound. Fun to tinker around with but really needs some levels or progression to push me forward and keep me playing. Very cool!
Simple but effective game. Took a looong time to figure out what was happening. It was alright, not amazing, just calm. I can imagine other people really liking this game but it's not for me. Well done though!
Cool idea. Took a while to understand what I was doing and I had to open another instance of the game in another tab to remind myself of the controls. Odd control scheme. Needed at least a help button and maybe on-screen buttons that mapped to the actions. Good job!
Well done! Looks like you put a lot of effort into making this game. two things I thought I should mention that maybe you could learn from:
If you walk diagonally into a diagonal collider, you can just go through it: wallclip.png
And although the colliders were set up correctly, the layering between the player and some sprites is incorrect, for example, this roof should be rendered above the player. on roof.png
Since the enemies do not predict my movement, I can play this forever without collecting anything or upgrading. However, the game was cool. I liked the movement and the idea of the game where you reproduce is nice too. Good job!
Nice little game. I like the scrolling background effect. Not a big fan of the model used for the plane but not like I could do any better so I commend you for trying where I wouldn't have. I noticed that if you go from stationary to tilting for a second, let go, then hold that directional button again, you move in that direction but the animation goes to idle. Looks like what's happening is when you let go of a movement button, you are telling the game to go back to idle but when you press a button, it needs to interrupt that animation. I didn't let this affect my vote though. Just thought you might want to know. Maybe you can go back and make changes and learn from it :) Good job on the game!
Fun little game. Reminds me of this game where you throw ducks around to score points are get different kinds of ducks. Also reminded me of this weird browser game where you feed a woman an apple. Actually kind of fun though not terribly complex or innovative. Followed the theme well and the graphics reminded me of miniclip games. The audio was good, you didn't cram a bunch of stuff into the game to make it complex which works well in your favor. I wouldn't say it's terribly humorous but compared to a lot of the games I've played, it is. Mood... Not too sure what to say. It's plain but not in a bad way. Good job!
Honestly, I think the idea was the best part about this game. Everything else.. no audio, graphics were taken from Google Maps, the only graphic I think you made was the map button which was a lazily drawn "M". Maybe it's fun? I couldn't tell because I just couldn't drag myself forwards through a game I didn't want to play. Maybe it's just not my type of game. Good try though
Surprised this game hasn't gotten more attention yet. This game feels like the most polished LD game I've played so far. It is challenging but you do have all the tools you need to complete each puzzle. Personally, I found having to look at the sides of the box from an angle to actually be kinda annoying and it hurt my eyes a little but It's a stylistic choice so I didn't let it affect my score. Actually a great game that I think people would pay good money for if maybe.. I dunno.. the box expanded into other boxes or became this huge thing. It's a cool game. Kinda like "Please, Don't Touch Anything" but with more boxes.
Not sure if I missed something. I read the controls and everything but I wasn't able to double jump without the up-arrow collectible and without it, I couldn't get over the 3-spike jump. Anyways, nice game, personally I'd appreciate it if the game was just faster over all because it would make it harder, maybe just increase the speed over time? (You probably do and I didn't get far enough). Add some audio and you'd have yourself a nice little game here!
Longest i've played an LD game. Timing of each upgrade was actually pretty good. I found myself spam clicking to try to get the next upgrade, not noticing I've been doing that for for the past 10 minutes. Not terribly innovative but at least you followed the theme by incorporating it into a cookie clicker style game. Audio was nice as well. Well done!
Cool game, relaxing. Controls were nice. Visuals were pleasing. I noticed you had a parallax effect in the background but only really noticeable if you boost a lot in one direction which is a nice touch. The audio effects mix well with the background music. Perhaps some more stuff to do would be cool but great for being made in 48 hours!
Cool game. Not enough enemies (From what I played, too few at the starting area, made the game feel slow). Since the player movement is locked to a pixel grid and the camera follows it exactly, it causes the camera to feel jittery and it actually started to hurt my eyes in fullscreen.
(If you've never used Unity, try switching. Godot is cool but Unity is still better, even for beginners)
One of the best LD games i've played so far. Audio worked well together with the music. I like the art style and the overall layout (Would have preferred it if the menus had x buttons to close them as well as clicking away but nbd). I think this game is trying to tell me something... Put all your money in the bank and you will be a millionaire by the time you're 40!
Needs more for it to be entertaining but I can see something here. The graphics are nice and I can tell you know what you're doing. Just needs more development.

The game is cool but boring. I don't know what else to say. Oh, and you can walk through houses if you walk at them from the side and wiggle a little.
