I was skeptical at first because the movement controls are very difficult, but I ended up playing through the entire game, getting all the strawberries, and just messing around even more. The turning point was when I realized that I could sacrifice one health to have the robots push me up the hills, lol. With a little work on the movement to make it more satisfying and a more fleshed-out story, this could be a great game!
I love the game idea. I think I had the debug version or something because I was able to directly change the stats of my characters. I just increased the attack damage to like 100 and the range to make them not take damage and ended up getting to round like 20,000. More fully fleshed out, I think it could be really fun. (I mean I played up to round 20000 in this state, lol)

Pretty fun! I am a slow typer, so even on easy I could only get to about day 4 haha. I love the music, it fits the game well.
Glad to be your 20th rater! Great game with good polish. The movement was super satisfying and I loved all the effects.
Very fun! I did notice that if you go to the next page in the spell book, there is no way to go back to the first page.
This game was really fun! The menu felt very polished and professional which I appreciated. I loved that there were two difficulties. I was able to get 100% on the easy difficulty but not quite are the normal difficulty. I think this game is definitely worth expanding!
Pretty fun game! The shadow of the player made me laugh. When I restarted after losing, no enemies spawned and I was able to actually win! (maybe cheating...) Without that bug, I had no chance and died right at the beginning every time haha.
This game was extremely fun! I think it is a bit too easy, I can just spam broccoli and win the entire game. I think there is a bug where the opponent's enemies sometimes become invisible. Overall, I really enjoyed it!
The sounds and visuals are so good! The controls are very interesting, would love to see a full game made out of this!
Nice game, the version embedded on ludum dare didn't work, but it worked on itch.io. First race I more than doubled my money, so I'm looking into the closed horse race in my area in real life. Hopefully, I have the same luck!
Seriously, it was pretty fun. The graphics and sound are hilarious. I could not figure out what the eyes and lips do. They have a hover effect, but I concluded they are just for mood. Great job.
Overall, a pretty fun platforming game! It got a little bit confusing sometimes when there were two enemies and me on the screen with all the same player models. When I did a few high-velocity bounces and then slowed down, I had to figure out which one I was. I like the music, but sometimes it would go completely silent for a while which was weird. I really like the controls and bouncing all around. I was having a hard time with the stepping stone part, then I realized that I could just climb up one wall without using any platforms, which is cool.
@risminator thank you so much! I have been interested in game development for a while and have watched a lot of YouTube videos about it lol. It was really fun actually creating a game and such a cool feeling that other people are playing it!
@yukimiitsuka @missingpixel @trevor-lentz and @denismarasan Yes, we definitely agree that there needs to be better explanations of each god and also how to use them! We originally planned to have a guided tutorial that would teach the main mechanics, but we did not have time to implement that. We also wanted to have some way to see the "stats" of each god in the game (probably via a small ui window when you are close enough to it) but again, there was a time crunch and also we had to learn Godot as we developed, so some of the more complicated (or what we thought would be complicated) features did not make it in. Thank you all for the feedback so far though, because of the great responses and interest, we have decided to keep working on the game after the jam, so this will all be fixed! Also, any other features that anyone would like to see added, just make a comment and they may end up in the final game!
Overall, the game was great! Interesting story and cool art! There was a tiny bug that I caught where the text went off the edge of the scrren: Screenshot 2024-04-17 120029.png
Screenshot 2024-10-07 224124.png Super fun! It took a bit to figure out what everyone was asking for, but I got the hang of it. The art, music, and gameplay are top notch; great job!
@eranot Thank you! Would you mind telling me what OS/browser you were using? I have not come across that issue before
@trogdor-20x6 yeah, I was having a hard time getting it to work here, but it should work fine on itch.io!
@eerongal yeah, some of the physics need some tweaking for sure but thank you!
@bloodfin @tompendergrass Thank you so much!
I love the game! The concept is cool and you implemented it well given the time we had! Here are some things I noticed in case you did not notice them and want to make this into a full game (which I think you should!):
- Infinite throws of the potion seemed a little overpowered (but was really useful at times) - The music (which is super vibey) stops after about a minute - It is a little finicky to shrink sometimes; like you have to try a few times and move around a bit - I couldn't always tell if I was going to be able to go through a surface or collide with it so maybe that distiction could be a little more obvious - It was a little weird that my potions could go through any surface even when I couldn't
Overall, I think the game is so fun! I would love to see it expanded!
