Laser sound is a bit annoying after some time of playing but overall it's a cool game!
Very unique game! I really like the movement mechanic, it's really smooth and polished! The game design is really well done too, I like how you take your time and try to figure out the level's layout at first, and then you are challenged to go all the way back to the start as fast as you can! The art is very charming, I really like the colour palette! I'd love to play a fuller version with more levels. Good job!
Hello! I had no isses with moving and seeing this dash mechanic made me think about how you even made it work so smoothly. Everything was very good. I enjoyed the level design, colors, style and overall vibe. One thing that annoyed me after few minutes was the laser sound. I felt like it is only thing I can hear. Other than that, this has a very high potential! Amazing!
I really enjoyed the heist vibe of this game - the art is gorgeous and the sound effects really nail the theme. Even though the movement felt a bit clunky and I often got caught off-guard by those pesky lasers, I found myself coming back for another run. Overall, it's a fun and stylish challenge!
Beautiful artwork, interesting game mechanics, and a very fun game. Excellent work -- well done!
I managed to get the treasure, but couldn't escape. Very nice game, the movement is pretty fun and the sound effects are very good.
Game is fun! I enjoyed it much more than i thought! The only thing was, i reached the end but didn't win? Not sure if I did anything wrong but i went around and couldnt see anything else to do. But fun game!
Pretty game, fun to keep trying to get through the lasers and I liked the movement concept.
Amazing game! Love the artstyle and the palette, and it's fun to play too. Personally I think it could have been a bit more zoomed out, so that you could see further ahead.
The art is so cool, also the grabbing coin sound very pleasing
It would be cool if there are several treasure on level may be
I like the movement, it feels fast and snappy. Only suggestion would be to zoom out the camera a little, and have some sort of indicator of where the lazar comes from.
Still a fun game, nice job
Every good game needs a grappling hook the only thing i would say is had some change in the pitch for the sound effects It repeating at the same pitch gets grading especially because it's very high so just adding something to change it by a Fraction of a decibel would help every time it plays
This was a cool mechanic. And the art style was really nice. The collision detection with the walls when jumping felt a bit broken. I can understand not being able to jump perfectly parallel to the wall but it felt like I sometimes got into a position where I couldn't jump away from the wall unless the angle was pretty extreme. It made it hard to aim precise jumps sometimes. It also seems like it would be nice to relax the collisions around corners a bit so that you could jump just slightly through the corner, otherwise it's easy to get frustratingly stuck one or two pixels on the wrong side of the corner and have to jump in the completely wrong direction and come back to reorient.
Hello! I really liked your game and wanted to leave my feedback.
Positive notes:
- The color pallet and art is immaculate.
- The game was easy to for me understand how to play from the get go.
- I like the indicator you included for the movement.
Improvements / suggestions: (I understand game jams are limited time and I can see you're a solo dev which is also very impressive lol but my 2 cents)
- More audio, particularly I would have really enjoyed a little background music.
- It would be cool on the MM if hovering the play text had a effect on it, even a color change I think would really elevate it and make it more interactive.
- This could just be my browser, but when I tried to full screen, it was keeping the same size of the game.
Overall, super beautiful design and a fun game, you did a really good job :)
I love the art in this game! Its so cute and the colour palette is amazing, I just wish there was more of an indictor for where you can move to and that the game wasn't so hard (or I'm just bad).
really good, wish there was some ambiance but other then that really cool mechanics and looks good
Had a lot of fun with this game! Love the graphics/theme and choice of sound effects. I enjoyed how it plays despite of some of the quirks others have noted. Wooshing around as that little plague doctor masked dude was just generally charming.
