Another bug I didn't see mentioned is you can walk off the platform to the left and then it endlessly plays the jump sound effect and you have to reset

Developer

thanks for that bug mention, I really appreciate it

Love the concept. Don't know if it was intentional but I was able to cheese the levels by ending my turn while still in the air so the enemies couldn't hit me. Shame you had to scrap a lot of the game because I wanted to play more

Developer

ooo thats an interesting bug! thanks for the heads up, ill fix that up, i really want to continue this game

Love the concept but sadly theres so many bugs 

Developer

yeah unfortunately i got sick twice througout this entire jam, early on, and on the last day,  unfortunately i could not test for bugs, currently making a note on all the bugs in the game, to fix

Lvl 3 never finished for me and lvl 4 ended once i killed the bat, perhaps it only checks for victory once all bats are dead? Nice game nonetheless and you put a great use of those four colours!

Developer

oh man yeah that might be what's going on, thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing

Good idea… couldn’t finish it tho cuz like lvl 3 broke on me. Also, there’s no indication that you have to stop moving to attack…

Developer(+1)

yeah I missed out on that, I'll look into lvl 3, thanks for playing

The game took me a bit to pickup but when I did it was very fun. The art is very good and impressive that you can pull off that with only 4 colors. Good Game!

Pretty damn ambitious concept for a 72 hour jam. I like the idea a lot and it's a shame it's just the skeleton of it. It was a bit hard to understand at first but I got it pretty quickly.

There's a bug with the cat enemy where the level doesn't end when you kill it, only when you kill the bat enemy and only the bat enemy.

It's pretty good for now, but I see some potential in it!

thanks! i was upset i had to scrap the upgrade system and the game had a melee gameboy character that required you to get up close to the enemy to hit and a boss fight i scrapped last second, due to time contraints

i heavily struggled with how to make the tutorial, cause my original idea was a walk through/ play tutorial, sadly had to go with what is currently on there due to time.


thanks for playing! and thanks for the bug! i feel like everyone else will struggle with the tutorial and stop playing

I actually thought the tutorial was a static image and just moved on lmao

Developer

lol 🤣 hey as long as you understood how to play that's fine by me
