Nice and simple, albeit a tiny bit glitchy. I would add the ability to allow the player to move backwards as well as forward, but have the camera fixed moving forward (akin to mario) as there were countless times where i had accidentally overshot where the potato was going to be, only to not be allowed to move back (which made my character slide forward). If you did this, I think you'd have a pretty solid mini game!
Levels get harder as you progress which is nice, though sometimes the egg would glitch out and move away on its own, and the loading screen after dying is unusually long.
It's a shame you we'rent able to finish it, nonetheless what is there is good! (though my ants have a habit of floating through the undug dirt). Also it didnt stop raining so my ants house just flooded completely.
The start was pretty funny, and so was the concept of the game. Whenever the player hit the ceiling while jumping he would go a bit funny for a second or too
Nice simple concept, nice relaxing music, the only gripe i have is how the distance arrow bobs up and down when im dragging it out - game design wise the player needs to be able to see how far they're going to push themself. I'd suggest instead making the arrow change between two colours. Apart from that, pretty nice and fun game (you've even got a menu!)
I like the story idea quite quirky, and i just love the pixel art. Thought the core mechanics were nice, it would of been nicer if there was more there than "put this in mouth, dont put this other thing in mouth" until you get bored. 7/10
Pixel art and music were very nice, though im not too keep on the mechanics - looking after the crystal became quite tedious, I dont feel like it fits mechanically with the platforner genre. Very good attempt though!
Nice and simple game with pretty decent pixel graphics, the fire lizards are pretty annoying though, and the bat flies for the top of your head rather than in front of you, making it difficult to hit as the sword doesnt slash that high (bat also glitches out a bit when directly over you)
The character art here is great, i really love the style - I wish the other objects in the game were made to teh same standard. The mechanics were really finnicky, i had to repeatedly try and click drag something for it to register, apart from this it was quite a funny looking game! (also the black canvas that shows up after you complete a level doesnt fit the whole screen, theres about a pixel of height on the bottom)
Great game, much more polished than others I've played here. I found myself wrestling with the controls, but i assume thats because im terrible at this type of game. Nice sound effects, nice art, and i really liked the level transition clouds. Eventually i caught on that at the end level looped itself (or at least it felt it did). A solid 8/10
Really solid game mechanics and pixel style. I dont know if this was intentional or not, but you can move the heart around, practically allowing you to speed run it to the finish, but also if its bumped off course its likely to get stuck and needs pushing off of obstacles.
Charming little game with a good amount of levels to showcase ideas. Enjoyed how they progressively showed off more mechanics, however the levels themselves didnt really feel like they were getting more difficult. The graphics weren't super, but the simple music was nice. 7/10
I really like the art and sounds, some mechanics felt pretty useless though - like how the temple thing does 2 damage every second, not much point in a game that doesnt last long enough to warrant putting the souls in

Small reminder to make sure you get your own "ratings given" up to at least 20!
This game is quite fun and i love the unique card-like mechanics!

I understand you didnt have much time to make this, but at the very least you did manage to get the theme on point, well done!

Fun game, though when the humans attack they can push you into water, which pretty much perma stucks you.

Nice art and simple game, very good. I find it odd you used the space bar for picking up an object though, since im used to that being for jumping.

This game requires some sort of admin username and password to download. So currently not playable.

Very impressive game, thought the difficulty curve between level 2 and 3 is quite high, especially with the rng cards every turn.

Like the music and the idea, wish there was more content to explore. The collision was a bit finnicky, but overall i liked the feel of the game!
