Incredibly good game feel, this was really fun. Music is nice and the "pop" is really satisfying. The trail behind the character is a nice touch, and being able to see your past death spots was SUCH a good idea! Loved this one a lot.
Great art, great music, the game plays great, hitting enemies is really satisfying. Loved everything about this.
This is really fun and the graphics are really great
This is a really cute game, I love the 2D sprites in the 3D environment, it looks really great.
Really fun and I love the art a lot!
Great game feel, I really like how fast movement/actions are. Really fun game.
This was a brilliant way to interpret the theme and was very executed. Has a lot of charm with very enjoyable characters, I had a smile on my face the entire time.
The art is all very nice, gameplay is simple but pretty fun and works well
This is cool, I like the mechanics and the concept was really creative!
The mechanics are really cool and upgrade system is a wonderful addition
Really fun and satisfying controls. Art was really nice and the little squeaks were a nice touch
Camera made it a little difficult, but controlled very well and was really fun. I liked the art style a lot and the enemies all looked especially cool
This was really fun, graphics and music were really nice as well
I love the art style! The objects and environments all look so lovely
@corruptedcomputer The button is actually the little bug below where it says play
@hotpaw Thank you! Yeah I wish it could've been a bit longer, it is pretty short. Would love to make an extended version in the future!
@attala Thank you so much! I agree, towards the end it can get a little dizzy, especially if you wait around on the stage long enough for everything to really start speeding up. The reset stage button was one of the last things I added when I realized I should probably fix that haha.
@poroporo-su Thanks!! The crystal one was one of my favorites as well!
@esosek Thank you! Those sound effects were especially fun to make!
@sacredbacon Thank you so much! The gallery was actually a last minute addition, I'm really happy I ended up having just enough time to put that in!
@styrofoamwaffle Thanks!! I wish I had the chance to add levels too, or maybe an optional stage select. Maybe in a future extended version if I end up making one.
@molpe Thank you! The bugs were supposed to keep moving faster, but on the blue level especially it's a bit much haha. I didn't have time to adjust it, so I added the reset button last minute to restart the stage and slow them down again. Thanks for doing a video on this, being able to see other people play it has been really helpful for finding stuff I could change for a fixed version.
This was a whole lot of fun, controls felt really nice!
Sliding up the curved walls is really fun and having to feed the penguin is a cool mechanic. This is a very fun penguin game (:
Really fun game. My only slight criticism is that the retry button didn't work, I had to close and reopen the game to keep playing again.
This was a really fun and creative take on the theme
I wish the camera was slightly further out so it was a little easier to see obstacles on some of the jumps, but otherwise this was a fun time!
Great music, great visuals, fun gameplay. Loved it.
Such a wonderfully creative concept! Visuals are fantastic and the game plays great, love this one!
I wish it was a little easier to see what's ahead of you, some of the blind jumps were tough. Aside from that, this was a lot of fun and the controls felt really nice.
Great game, this was a lot of fun!
This is great fun, the art is really good, the whole theming is fantastic. This is a very quality space narwhale game!
The art looks so good, this was a really cute game!
Love the interpretation of the theme, this was a really fun concept
This is really cool, I like Greg!
The art style was great, I loved the overall sense of humor, the music was wonderful, and gameplay was really fun. This is one of the best potato games I've ever played.
I really love the art style, suits the game perfectly. Gameplay is really fun, I liked this a lot!
Very cool little frog game! The leaderboard was a really nice inclusion.
Wow this rules actually. Really level layout and the multiple characters with their abilities are all very fun! I do think audio would have really strengthened the mood, but as far as pure gameplay goes this is fantastic.
Made it 3 and a half minutes before all but one of my fish tragically passed away. A bunch of my fish swam off screen and so couldn't save them, but this was pretty neat! I like the fish!
I accidentally punched a creature and it made a sad face at me, 10/10. This is super cute, love the art style.
Fun little game, I love the Spoders. Some audio would've gone a long way, but this is pretty neat!
A little tricky to get them in precise spots, but this was pretty fun! I do wish there was some sound though.
This is super cute! I love the art and the little guys, I was so surprised when I saw one getting dragged away by a bush in the background!
I have successfully fed this little frog. Took me a minute to figure out what was happening, but this was neat! Love the sounds and the frog looks very awesome.
Wow this is really impressive! Feels great to control, very nice art, and I love all the sounds. Super cool, well done!
Wow this is so cool! The art's fantastic, I haven't seen a lot of LD games that look like this so it really stands apart. Gameplay is simple and fun, each level feels different from the last. Maybe some sound effects would've been nice, but this was awesome, really well done.
Awesome game, I love the little guys.
Awesome game, Texas the alien is my friend.
Really fun! Love the designs and functionalities of the units, Buddy B. was my favorite. The sound design is really great too, all the little coughs were an excellent detail.
A little hard to control with how fast you move, but otherwise this was really cool. The sound effects were good, I really felt the punch when I hit a bug. A lot of little details were nice too, bouncing off the mousetrap changing the character's expression, this was fun!
Love the character design and the controls feel really good! Would love to see this updated with more background details and audio. Awesome game, awesome frog guy.
Really fun and cute! I like the gameplay and art a lot. I thought the text was a bit difficult to read, and the dialogue during the story bits were very quiet compared to the other sounds in the game, but had fun with this overall!
@tuism Thanks for the feedback! Definitely a few bugs to iron out post-jam, will for sure make the character turn around when facing directions, was very short on time and ended up forgetting about that. Oops!
@ramchops-games Thanks for the notes! The chaotic end music is a running joke where all of my games end with the worst songs possible, but for sure feels very out of place in this one haha.
@nazariglez Thank you very much for the kind words! Would love to do more with the charge mechanic in a later update.
@sdcorpse Yes, there is a note at the top of the page about this known issue. If you sit on the first level for too long, an object that I accidentally left in the room causes this, I didn't realize it until about 30 minutes after the deadline ended. It's the first thing I plan to fix post jam.
@satless Thank you! The art is the area I spent the most time on, so I really appreciate that.
@flewbimo Thanks! Yeah the error at the start is an object left in the first level accidentally that crashes if you sit on it for too long, I plan to fix this after the LD ends. I also think the rollbug is adorable, just a silly little guy.
@frostblooded Wow, thank you for such high praise! I'm glad you liked it, I was really happy with how it came out.
@stmate03 Thanks! The controls gave me trouble while playtesting at first too lol, I wasn't really sure it would work. After playing through and speedrunning a few times it started to click for me (deeeeeefinitely could use a little work still though!
@ellaris Thanks for the feedback! Completely agree that in a couple of those stages it can be annoying going too high and ending up out of bounds. If I expand on this later I think I'd like to have a camera and larger levels so you don't have to worry about that so much.
This is awesome I love the shrimp. Magnify was a great inclusion, very cool to zoom in on all of my little guys.
Wow this is great! A ton of fun with incredible presentation. Love the art, the character designs are all really good, even down to the numbers popping out when you're score is increasing, so many good details. Music is awesome as well, this is really well put together.
This is a great concept, blowing up is a cool mechanic that makes for some really fun and tricky levels!
Fun gameplay idea and great take on the theme! I think some sound would've added a lot.
The music is really nice and the giant buff ants are very awesome.
This was really neat! I love the presentation, it makes for a very relaxing vibe, though I wish the music was maybe a little louder. The little guys are very cute! You also fall to the ground very slowly and kinda fly around, but I actually had fun with that too, seeing how high I could go. This was a good time.
Absolutely incredible concept for a game. The first couple speech bubbles I encounter were upside down, that was a bit confusing for a moment, but really fun and really funny game!
This is a lot of fun! Very simple concept, but the upgrades and being able to choose really elevates it and adds a lot of replay value.
Wow the controls are really neat, this was a really cool concept!
Really satisfying to zoom across space so quickly, had a lot of fun just flying around (the little guy is also very awesome.
Adorable game, LOVE the art so much. As many have said, some sort of export might be nice. Would also be cool to see setting customization with changing backgrounds. But as is this was super cute and a lot of fun, here's my creation: cute ghost.png
This is a really nice & challenging little puzzle game! Love the art, the crocodile is my favorite.
Controls were a little difficult for me, but I really enjoyed the art and this take on the theme!
Big fan of these little guys. Gameplay is a lot of fun and I love the overall vibe. The moving background with the little icons of the little guys was an especially nice detail.
Very fun! I agree with some of the other comments that background music might've been nice, but that crunch sound when you get a letter is really satisfying on its own.
This is a really fun idea! Concept is great and game plays well, would love to see this expanded into something bigger, this is very cool.
Very cool and very responsive! Gets difficult quickly, but fun with a bit of practice.
Like you said, not really a game, but this is still really cool and extremely well animated. Would love to see this simple idea expanded on into a full game.
Pretty fun! Starts out slow, but gets to be pretty cool once you start getting the upgrades and the gameplay starts to shine. My only slight negative is the sound for the drill, it's pretty loud and once you get the upgrades to use it faster it starts to be a little annoying. Fun game overall though.
This is a really cool concept! I love the central mechanic, there were a couple of spots where I got stuck in a loop, I maybe with there was a way to hop out without going to high up/down and continuing to dig past the area you were trying to go, but it is a ton of fun and I especially love bouncing off of the metal bits. Music would've gone a long way, but the sound effects are nice. Graphics are great I love Drilly (awesome guy.
This was really fun! I ended up not really using the regular attack, I found the air attack a lot more fun and satisfying to use. I wish the camera was a little faster maybe, there were a few spots where I had to either make a blind jump or sit until the camera caught up. Cool music, big fan of the sound effects too. Overall, enjoyed this quite a bit!
I love slider puzzles! This is super cute, graphics and sound are lovely and some really challenging puzzles!
I think this is my favorite take on the theme I've seen, really big fan of the presentation as well.
This is awesome and really addicting. Super satisfying hitting a chain and bouncing multiple gold pieces, especially when you get more and more pickaxes. I would play an expanded version of this for an unhealthy amount of time. You also seriously cooked with the music, really really good stuff. Extremely fun, I wish I could through pickaxes at rich people in real life.
Oh, this is a really cool puzzle game! The whole aesthetic is really awesome too, I enjoyed this a lot!
This is really nice! I love how many different upgrades there are (I went for maxed out extra harpoons first, that was pretty fun. I wish there was maybe some music, but visuals are really nice, I liked this quite a bit.
This is awesome! Controls were really good and satisfying, the art style works really well, the ominous sounds are great, I really enjoyed this.
This is a really cool concept, I really love the movement and screen flipping. Some sounds would've gone a long way, but still enjoyed the gameplay. Also very funny that you can fly off into space and die.
Really cool how this is split into two different genres and feels pretty natural. Both parts of the game are really fun to, the platforming feels especially nice (I will adore any platformer that gives me a glide. Nice visuals, great sound, I love that impactful crunch when you die. Really awesome, I like this a lot!
A very cool and relaxing little game, feels nice to control, and really nice art! Death sound jumpscared me a bit but made me laugh.
Pretty cool, especially for only 12 hours! Moving off screen to get to the other side was really neat, reminded me of Kid Icarus. The gameplay is solid, but took some time to figure out. I wish the music was a loop, but the death sound was very funny.
I love this smiling star creature they make me so happy. I even love these ghouls and the disgusting sounds they make, adds to the off putting music. Had a smile on my face from start to finish, loved everything about this.
