The artwork here is just amazing! Only in one week! it seems more of a painting than a game!

A very visually appealing game.  I loved how you had so many different types of enemies.  I personally found the game difficult, where I could not enjoy everything.  Also, while the movement of things adds life to the world I thought there was some interaction with the scenery and if there was and I missed it then that is on me.

Incredible game, amazing what you can do in a week. I love all of the particle effects and all the hidden secrets. I really liked the green spear boss, and the whole game had a very satisfying ending. Very polished, and good artwork.

Amazing! I love it

Lovely work as always. 


I love the feel of this game, expcially the easter egg to your obvious inspiration. This had a similar feel to BOI actually, kind of like a more cheerful version. I love how you took the time to flesh things out with tiny little details to make things feel more alive.


PS - Those purple guys are a bunch of jerks! 


(and the big green ones with spears as well)

Nicely polished, great fun to play, really immersive.

That's a really polished game. I love the stunning graphics, the direct feedback you get from your actions, the secret rooms, the different themes and mechanics in a single game. No idea how you did this in just a week. I enjoy the moment when you meet that game character celebrity *spoiler free*.

My WebGL crashed when I dashed into another level but I can't reproduce that bug.

Amazing as usual. The sprites are so cute and full of life, and the extra details everywhere (sounds, interactions with the player, hidden pathways, etc.) add so much to the experience. I'm currently looking for the inspiring flower, but I keep getting distracted by all the secrets there are in the map.

The brushes upgrades seem to be resetting when changing locations. I guess the information about them isn't shared between the scenes. But that's totally fine, I feel like a bigger brush would make the game too easy.

Everything seems top notch in this game. The smooth world along with good controls makes this game stand out. This game especially focuses on the player world interaction and is pretty tough for a casual guy like me to complete it. It does have some little issues. However, the experience is really good.

It's really fun and a bit hard :D graphics are simple but cute and works well with the concept and gameplay.

OMG this game was amazing. I loved finding secrets everywhere, and the artstyle was really nice.  The movement felt good aswell (I loved dashing around like a maniac). The sound was also really good. However, I did found some small things that you could improve on.

For example the spike traps. The spikes made a sound when they should release. But I feel like this sound came to early. The sound came before the spikes moved, maybe you wanted this to be an audio clue so you know when the spikes are going to come. But if you want to have it so that the sound is when the spikes come out I think you need to redo it. Maybe it works fine for you but not for me because we have different fps?

Another thing was when you killed a boss. The meter was still displayed until you went out of that section of the map. You can see it on the image below.

Another thing I found when I met one boss was a place to stay to kill the boss without getting damaged. You can see the position and which boss on image below.

It seems like the brush upgrades stacks. At first I thought this was really cool. I felt amazing walking around with the biggest brush ever. Then I thought it might be too op(I killed a whole room of enemies without seeing one). But then I remember the spider enemies(I hated those spiders). If they shoot at you when you are that big it is incredible hard to dodge the webs because the brush takes up so much space. I did never encounter a spider when I was this big but I believe that it would be hard to defeat them.  On the image below you can see what I mean with the big brush. I think I had three upgrades here.

I found another bug/glitch in the beginning of the game. I had just died from a boss and was angry so I dashed upwards in frustration. I lost 4 hearts of this. But when I got to the next room I had full health. Maybe the game can't keep up with my fast dashes :D Here is a link to a video that shows what happened. https://streamable.com/14osw . 

Well that was all minor bugs/glitches I found. I would totally buy this game if you release a bigger version of it! You should put it on steam for 10-20 dollars. Thank you for the gamejam btw!


Edit: I played this game in broswer. Was there a reason to have a setup instead of just a zip? My antivirus program did not let my play the downloaded version.

It has a good feel to it. Some parts are hard, but it never feels unfair

Really enjoyed it!

Really nice game! A bit too hard for me to complete tho, would have enjoyed a invisibility frame after taking damage :D

Submitted(+2)

I love the art style and all the game is very well done!!
Just one thing...it's very hard to finish the game with so few hearts also because bullets are in a lower level than the brush so many times you can't see where they are!!

I agree

Really nice indeed! I really like your art style and the mechanics to fit the theme are really nice. Well done sir!
