The art style is pretty cool but I think there should be more visual cues to know where to go. Right now I think that they all blend together too much.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, i will keep that in consideration for next time ;)

I really like the game and it fits totally to the jam theme.  :)  

Developer

I'm glad you like it!

Submitted

Good art style and absolutely lovely music. Perfectly fits the theme.

Sometimes platforming is very punishment, I felt from boss room right in to beginning location.

I map controls to gamepad via joy to key and it make my experience much better.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! I'm glad you liked it. Super cool that you mapped the controlls to a gamepad! I will try to make it less dificult next time :)

Submitted

What a cool game, I loved it! The art is really nice and the music just great and various! Really well done! Good job ;)

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted

I just love the art and animation. Also, did you do the music? Because it's awesome. The trigger points changing the camera colors was a nice touch. The platforming was hard but good. But everything pales in comparison to how you used the theme and created a really good art style. reminded me of fancy pants adventure.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words! yes i did all the music with my guitar! 

Submitted

I really just want to say wow! This is a great game! You've got a nice platformer controller, a fun (if sometimes slightly hard to see) artstyle, and great music (especially the town theme, I loved it)! Though I almost always go for an electronic style myself with music, the acoustic music works wonders for the feel and style of this game, very well done! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for your nice words! I'm glad you liked it, if i do this style in the future i wil improve the visibility :)  I really want to learn to do the electronic music one day!

Submitted

I'd definitely love to see what you could do with this artstyle in the future, keep at it! I'd really appreciate it if you would check out my game, Dr. Maniacal's Monster Maker, as well!

Developer

I will check out your game now :)

Submitted

Such a wonderful game. Everything is soo good. IT is a perfect game to enjoy.

Developer

Thanks alot :) i really appreciate the kind words :)

Submitted

Love the artwork and the amount of content you did in a week is crazy :D

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

very cool and nice art!

Developer

Thanks! :)

Submitted

Even tho in the description you mentioned youre bad at art i really think this is an artistic masterpiece. The way the colors change and the weather changez it gives off a super nice vibe. I love the concept and i think you should keep working on this possibly as a commercial release?

Rated 5 stars.

Developer

Hehe, thanks a lot for these kind words :) Sometimes i am better at these things than i actually realize :) I really wanted to put all of my skills in its current state to use, and that is what you experienced in this game. I want to improve in all these area's. Making games is deffinetly a good way to get motivated to do so! A commercial release has not crossed my mind yet but who knows, maybe  i will :) Thanks for making my day :)

Submitted

Acoustic tracks in a game always gives me a smile! Some bolder drawn lines and rearrangement of the platforms would do wonders here!

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

really cool art style, a shame that some of the lines of the drawings are too thin and are hard to see, you put a lot of time drawing your levels, the platformer controller is smooth no difficulty whatsoever with that, great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! I wanted to redo some of the sketches i did in the early stages because they are too thin indeed. But then i ran out of time ;p

Submitted

thats one of the perks of the jam the time is always against us

Submitted

love the art style, I can tell that you put in a lot of effort. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yes this took me over 50 hours to make! But i was also learning unity an C# in the process :) Thanks for noticing!

Submitted

Nice art style! Very hard also, if you fall you have to start all over again xD

Developer

Thank you :) initially the game was even harder haha ;p but playtesting revealed that i should tune it down. These kind of games always need some kind of difficulty though :)  I will check out your game now :)

Submitted

Yeah you are right. I got some flashbacks from Getting Over It lol

Submitted

I downloaded the file but I can't open it. What do I need to do?

Developer

where you able to unrar it?

Submitted

no. how do you do that?

Developer (1 edit)

Its like a zip file, you can use a program like 7zip or winrar to unpack it.

Submitted

sorry :( 

my computer is not letting me play it. looks like a cool game though.

Developer

no worries, you can check out the youtube video attached to the page if you are interested in how it looks :)

Developer

Such a  fun and relaxing game with a very unique art style. I really enjoyed playing this! Well done!

Developer

Thanks alot :) i played your game aswell :)

Submitted

The idea is good and good mechanics! Good job!

P.S. The art is an awesome, very unique game :)

Please check my game as well ;)

Developer

Thanks :) i checked out your game aswell :)

Submitted

I loved how the game looks like a sketch book :D. Controls were responsive and nice so that a point from me :D My only issue is that i kept falling while climbing up maybe adding a checkpoint system can make the game a bit easier.Other than that it was dashing and kicking around. Overall great game :D

Developer

Thanks a lot :) It was actually a design decision to sometimes fall back to the area below, however at some point you obtain dash or double jump and then getting back to your original spot gets easier. I decided early on that i was not going to include death mechanics, this was my way of introducing some difficulty. thanks for your review, i will check out your game aswell :)
