my biggest complaint is the lack of air control (sideways movement while you're in the air) which made controls a lot more frustrating than they should. would be a fun game with more polish.
I don't know why but I love that the astronaut is just a regular turtle. I also really like that you used the sun as a sort of time limit!
I was going to comment on the cactus blocks looking almost the same as regular blocks but it seems it's a rendering issue, and the player hitbox seems weird too sometimes. sideways platforming is a really fun challenge though.
very knytty. the beanstalk idea is pretty nice, a different powerup could let you throw the seeds instead of planting them at your feet, maybe to solve puzzles.
with proper balance this could be pretty enjoyable as a mobile game. just improve balance and slow down the gameplay enough that you only have to check on your world a few times a day.
5 levels in I still couldn't get used to the controls, mentally mapping the keyboard buttons to six directions was pretty challenging. I think clicking would've suited it better, since moving quickly isn't very important
that said I enjoyed the puzzles and it was relaxing with some background music added. good work

trying to rate but GameJolt has been very wonky these last few days, I don't think I'm the only one judging by other comments

very nostalgic Venture-like graphics worked great for this.
having the camera zoom in on you also felt pretty claustrophobic, in a good way.

I was sold by the dynamic music. good vfx too, nice job
Lab 493 by Remicy 2017-05-11T17:01:30Z ♥ 1
that was actually pretty cute, with the sound effects and all of the germs having goofy little faces. played it to completion in 240s or so.
Little Eco Planet by Wheerd 2017-05-11T05:17:20Z ♥ 0
that was very enjoyable and played it to completion. the tutorial was also very good. simple but polished game, really great job.

I'm not really into grand strategy games but that doesn't mean I'm not impressed as heck. great concept too.

ok I won't lie, the rapid fire powerup gave me a laugh. it came in at just the right time and I was like *I HAVE THE POWER*
the cute music looping seamlessly also made it very enjoyable. great work.

powerups or rare pickups would increase replay value a bit, but this is a great compo entry.

audio effects are lacking but the music more than made up for it. plus that really cool intro 👌

scorched cats! audio was simple but fitting, and the weapon selection was good.

I got to play 2P for a little while and it was pretty fun. simple couch games with friends have always been a blast.
graphics need a little polish, but that's it.

good work, I had a chill time.

very similar to the old DOS game UGH! except in space
that said... this is actually one of my favorite jam entries games so far. thank you!

this is very technically impressive considering it's your own engine, good work.

jumping on one side of the planet to make something happen on the other side is an interesting mechanic, I think you could do a lot more with it.

I wasn't expecting to see many graphic adventures, much less throwbacks to old lucasarts games. very nice work.

cute game, very nice execution. the UI could use some love but that's it!

I agree it's got that battletoads feel, I was almost expecting the third combo hit to be an oversized toothbrush slap
great stuff

reminded me intensely of a game I used to play as a kid and that's a good thing

cool concept.
nice effects too except for the image ghosting which doesn't help readability.
