Awesome platformer, loved the challenge. Some of those levels were very tricky, was on the edge of my seat trying to weave through all the spikes in the falling through water section. The dash was also satisfying and had a really cool visual effect. Very cool game, thank you for making it!
Very solid rail shooter with extremely stylish visuals. The UI in particular is fantastic, and I also really love the design of the player character. The action is pretty satisfying and trying to focus on shooting and dodging at the same time is a good challenge, especially in the later levels. Overall a great game, well done to the whole team!
I like the design of the player character, and the atmosphere is nice with the graphics and music (although it's a shame the music doesn't loop). The exploration aspect was interesting because the first attempt was pretty confusing, but for the second attempt I had sort of learned my way around the area and was able to manage my resources better as a result. Thanks for the game!
The character design and pixel art are adorable! That combined with the music made for a really cozy atmosphere. I did have an issue that I saw some other people mention, where trying to jump would sometimes cause the animation to play for 1 frame but for no jump to come out (I played on the downloadable windows version, I'm not sure if that matters). Besides that, I really liked this. Good work and thanks for the game!
Awesome 3D platformer! Sort of reminded me of Marble Blast with how you had to manage your momentum. The way the angle of your walljump was based on your movement direction was also very cool, and made some of the challenges tricky to figure out in a satisfying way. The second to last level was probably my favorite, very technical and precise. Excellent work!
Loved it! The character is absolutely adorable, and I enjoyed the platforming a lot. I think my favorite part was the first section with the orange bubbles. It required a bit of finesse to aim your jumps with the weighty air control, and it was really satisfying when I finally nailed it. On the other hand, I did struggle a bit with the wind pushers. It might be a skill issue, but I was struggling to find a way to consistently get the launch I needed to make the jumps. I ended up just throwing myself at it until I got through that section by pure luck. Still, really excellent 3D platformer!
The music is great, and the sliding mechanic feels super satisfying. I could definitely see this being used as a base for a really interesting movement-based platformer. Great job!
Fun gameplay concept! The risk/reward decision making on how and when to move the tongue is very cool, and I like that you have to conscious of the whole screen when you make your move.
Really awesome platformer! The game feels great to control, and the map captures the metroidvania feel while still being simple enough that you won't be lost for too long. I really loved the way the whip served as a multi-purpose tool for both combat and movement, and the whip movement abilities were extremely fun, both the grapple points and the wall cling. The moving block room was probably the highlight, very tricky in a satisfying way. Thanks for the game!
Cool game! Great music and art, and I liked the multitasking element forcing you to focus on several things at once. The core gameplay is simple, but when you have to focus on dodging the errors, closing the windows, and entering the captchas, it adds up to be pretty engaging.
Simple, but relaxing and fun. The incremental improvements kept me engaged for a bit, and I especially enjoyed the drill upgrades that really speed up the pace you can mine.
Very cool and unique concept. Only managed a 46% score because I am possibly the worst fish photographer on the planet, but still really enjoyed the creativity of the gameplay and the wonderful atmosphere.
Really cool game. The pixel art and music are great and the action is fast paced and fun. It's a shame the extra weapons weren't finished in time, but what is there is satisfying to use and fairly well balanced. Great work!
Very cool and engaging gameplay loop. I loved how the weapons had dual utility for both mining and combat. Blowing up a huge section of wall and being rewarded with a shower of coins was a great time.
Lovely game! Great looking, moody, good music, and engaging gameplay loop. I liked how you had to make strategic decisions based on your resources to decide whether or not you want to face forwards to clear the path ahead, or face backwards to deal damage to the monster. Was very satisfying when I managed to pull a successful run and beat the monster.
Nice game, very moody. I liked the atmosphere a lot, with the parallax background showing all the rock formations in the distance. I wasn't able to reach any of the platforms, though, and it would have been nice to be able to use them to aid in dodging the enemies.
