Cute game! Would love a bit more interactivity but it's a solid game in of itself.

"Boing, BOING, boing ..."


The minimalist approach works surprisingly well. The gnome is cute and the sound effect is pure fun. The lack of music didn't bother at all. The rain and jumping sounds just suited the simplistic style of the game. Some narration would be nice, or at least some indication of dangerous objects. I was quite surprised when I suddenly died. :)

Charming little platformer.

i really enjoyed the concept , the jump soundeffect so cool.

the game is very good but it needs more content ;)

Developer

I will probably add another map after the contest :)

lol Funny little game, level design could use some more direction given to the player. I found it quite punishing jumping on my first cactus  because I assumed the whole world was safe, even spikey plants :| It would be interesting to see this with some enemy designs or some more narrative elements, even if they were just environmental or non-dialog based.

What I most liked is the boing sound and how you made the map like such simple but effective, good work :)

Developer

The jumping-sounds were fantastic! And they sort of worked as background music too! Enjoyable game! Great job!

A simple but engaging game. As an idea for an improvement, try to make a camera that does a smooth following of the player.

For the rest, very good job :)

Developer(+1)

do you think it would be smoother if the camera glided to the scroll x and scroll y of the player instead of following the player exactly? 

Submitted

Yes, I think it would be better :)

very cool, the level is very detailed and complete, was a bit stuck finding a finish point but otherwise very cool, randomly-pitched boing sound is funny

Developer

the finish point is in the volcano at the top middle of the map, to win you have to go inside the volcano, find the portal and enter it, Sorry if it’s to hard. :)
