Cute art. I really liked the sketch feel to it. The puppy's idle animation was cute too and I liked the game play.

could you please play and rate my game as well?

Interesting game! Despite most of your code not being your own, you still did a fantastic job putting them together! I love the art style of the game. Well done!

Submitted

This is a really nice platformer! The art style is very interesting and I like how the animations help communicate the state of the player. You could add some coyote time to add more leeway for the player when jumping just to give them a sense of more control. I hope you can continue working on this after the jam!

Great work on this one!

I liked the story and the fact that you did the art but used most of the code from others. Good job to not let that get you down and finishing the game!

My only comment is that the movement and jumping felt buggy at times. Awesome art :)

Developer

Thanks :). Yeah, I repurposed some code from a Unity asset store asset. I know how to fully code these features but this would have taken away from the time I had to do the art (the weak point I wanted to focus on for this game jam) :). Thanks for the review!

This is my favorite so far, you really got me at the end, really cool way to honor a lost friend. Level 4 was def the hardest but very fun, wicked awesome job on this one.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I'll check yours out

The art is really nice, especially the way the dog turns when grabbing a wall. The tutorial drawing are really helpful in showing the main mechanisms in the game.

Developer

Glad you liked it and thanks for the review!

Enjoyed the mechanics of the game. Good work!! Liked the color scheme. Keep it up!!

I'd love to hear your input on my submission, I'm going to be continuing it after the jam so and criticisms / suggestions / feedback are welcome!

Developer

Thanks man! I reviewed yours :)

Really out standing music :0, however the level design requires such accurate inputs, and the movements it self doesn't help with that, the character slides out of control a lot. The dash mechanic could use some polishing. Overall a good game, probs for making it in time :D Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968

Developer

Thanks for the honest feedback! I’ll be sure to polish and make the controls better in future. I’ll check out your game sometime today, thanks :)

I like the controls and the cute dog. I love that it's a story based mechanic to meet the theme. I got stuck up here though.  


Developer

thanks! Ah I can see why. You need to go upwards, I’ll add an arrow to that after submissions :). Thanks for the comment!

cute little platformer with a sad story. everything is good except dashing feels a bit weird. overall good job!

Developer

Thanks! glad you liked it. Thanks for honest comment :)

Pretty fun game! The Character is so cute! And the music gives this game such a nice atmosphere

Developer

Thank you for playing, rating and commenting :)

Nice job!

Great job with music and atmosphere. Some of the art assets don't really go together that well (like the spikes and the grass), but that's not really a big deal.

Overall a lovely little atmospheric game with a lot of character. Good job!

Developer

Yeah, agree with you on the art assets! Originally, I made it all via pixel art then I went to Photoshop as I was unhappy with how it looked. As I ran out of time I had to keep the spikes as pixel art. Thanks hugely for your honest review!

Submitted(+1)

Love the art style! The story is really moving too. Well done

Thank you Ninja Monkey, hugely appreciate your comment :)

Really good game. A really nice interpretation of the theme. My fiancèe was in tears after playing it so you nailed the atmosphere! Keep up the good work! :)

Developer

Aww I'm sorry I caused tears but I'm glad you like it :)!!

I like the progression in difficulty. It definitely got challenging after a few levels, but I loved it.

Submitted

i like the theme linked to the man's BEST friend...

Developer

Can see what you mean but I think I've stayed true to the theme. I think it would've been more obvious had I created more levels going through more of the memories. Appreciate your comment though!

Submitted(+1)

yes. i really liked the thought and then - of course the narration would not fit the emotional setting or the mood. nice thought really

Developer(+1)

Thanks man, good points! Really appreciate the honest comments :)

Submitted(+1)

Really like the art, everything was good especially the music but the story was too predictable for me

Developer

Thanks Farri! Yeah, I agree with you there, if I had more time I'd definitely make it a deeper story. Cheers!
