Very nice work and well polished. I like the graphics and the sense of humor ;D
Thank you!!
I think this is the best game I've played yet for this jam! The controls are smooth and the graphics and audio are super high quality. Great job, I think your game will place very high in the ratings! Please rate mine? I need 10 more >w<
Thank you for your kind words! I will make sure to play and rate yours!
Wow, AMAZING job :D! I was blown away by every aspect of your game - the music/sound effects, graphics, concept, and design are all flawlessly executed in my opinion! 5/5! :D <3
Thank you!
Cool game! Fits the theme perfectly and plays well! For me, the only thing that I slightly didn't like is the camera. (Probably because I'm playing this at 9:00 pm) The art is really good! I wish I could draw like that! (: Good Game!
Thanks for your feedback! I wish I would have pulled the camera out a little more so you can see more of the level. What about the camera felt off for you?
Basically what you said, I felt constrained. Like when you get blindness in Minecraft! ) :
Yep, already on the list of things to improve. Thanks again for your feedback! Much appreciated!
Thank you MironCo for playing and for the kind comment! :)
This game is really awesome! I beat the first and final level in my first try! It would be awesome if it were a racing game though...
Can you try my game out? I want this game to be known by many.
Thank you so much for playing! :)
I unfortunately only have a mac, so I can't try out your game personally. But I will say from the screenshots and trailer, your character art and animations look awesome! well done!
Haha, fun idea. No criticism here ;D
Would be cool if you could try out my game too ;]
Thanks so much!!! I’ll definitely check out your game tonight! 😊
😃
Thank you for playing, SirFranz! :) Just rated yours, really nice work!
Thanks :]
Like I said on discord, dope as hell.
Thanks so much!
This is, so far, the only game I have given 5/5 on every score. You consistently hit on the theme, the audio was great, the graphics and animations SUPERB, it was fun enough to keep me trying (though I don't quite have time at the moment to play all the way through, I'll come back and have another go after the jam rating period is over), it felt good to play, and none of the traps felt unfair. Hope you get one of the prizes, your team certainly deserves the accolades!
Thank you for your kind words!
Wow thank you so much!! 😊
Thanks Ms.RedNebula! I really enjoyed your game as well!
Whoa thank you for the high rating, that's very kind!
Wow. Just wow! You guys rocked that. The game has everything from a great idea to a great execution. Sound, graphics, game design and the theme was so good implemented. Great job!
Thanks so much! Your game was great too!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙂 I’m rating more games tonight and will be sure to check out yours!
The best game of CGJ2019 I've played so far.
Top marks throughout: you nailed the theme and the execution is amazingly detailed for a game developed in such a short period of time. My only feedback is that I wasn't really incentivized/intrigued to keep playing after the first level; perhaps a storyline would have helped.
I hope you get one of the prizes :)
Thank you so much for your kind words!! :) That really means a lot. Yeah, we hope to develop it further, and having a storyline is a great suggestion. Thanks!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for your thoughts and feedback! I’m looking forward to checking your game out as well.
Thanks so much for taking a look and for the great feedback. Story is a tough one - and your game did it well!
Thanks again for playing, metaLudos! :)
Insane graphics, im jealous. Great audio. Feel some of the platform jumps, paticularly on lvl 1, which is supposed to be the intro is a bit tight personally. A simple jumping animation could add a lot. Otherwise really well done. 5/5.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! :)
5/5? Wow! Thanks so much! I’ll make sure to check out your game as well.
This game was great all the way through, from the music and art, to the tight platforming, to the genuinely surprising elements (the cat statue really made me jump the first time!)
Like someone else said below, many of the games in this jam have taken the lie element too far, and have made the game unfair or frustrating (unfortunately I think ours unwittingly falls into this category...) but you've managed to make the game hard (and keep the lying element) but fair, as once you know something will get you it remains consistent, meaning the player can learn to deal with those elements. The only thing I would say is that as far as I could tell (although I might be wrong) there was no way to tell if an exit was correct or not, meaning a lot of replaying the levels (including some tough platforming sections).
All in all, a very juicy, very fun game, 5/5 from me! Well done!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for your feedback on the exits! :)
Thanks! Yeah the theme was a bit difficult to work with without making the game obnoxious and mean. I’m really happy to hear you think we pulled it off! Really appreciate your comments and the 5/5 rating! I’ll be sure too check your game soon if I have rated it already
I like the audio very much! The graphic is cool! And the theme is very clear! I like it!
Thanks for the kind words! I’m totally pumped that people have enjoyed the audio, and I was super lucky to find such talented people to work with on the project. Looking forward to playing/rating your game too
So glad you like it, Mario8664! :D Thank you so much for playing and for your comment!
That was great! The animation and audio were fantastic, and the game's controls and design were fun to play with and play through.
Thanks I’m glad your enjoyed it! I’ll make sure I check your game out too!
This was awesome!!
Thanks!
I really like how although the game lies to you about its rules, but the rules of the game are still clear and consistent. There are a bunch of other platformers in this jam that have unfair level design, and although it makes sense because "you're being lied to", it's not a fun experience. In this game however I feel like you nailed it because the game does lie to you but the game still feels fair, and I never got frustrated! Well done!
Game design aside, the graphics and audio are very juicy, it get's a 5/5 from me.
GG!
Thanks so much for your kind words and generous rating! :) I'll check out your game tonight.
Thank you for your kind feedback!
Wow another 5/5! This is incredible! Thank you so much!
Great graphics and amazing audio!
I love the outrun/Tron-like style, the character and environment look awesome!
The music is really great as well. I especially love the breakbeat track ^^.
As for the gameplay, the platforming controls and camera handling are okay-ish (alright but a lot could be improved). Also, I realize it was for the theme, but the trial and error gameplay loop is pretty lame in my opinion :/ (Although the "YOU WIN" screen and victory music did make me laugh the first few times ^^)
The theme is pretty strong though and overall it's one of the better games I've seen on this jam! Great job!
Also, check out my game if you want, it's a
disguisedplatformer as well!Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely check out your game tonight!
Thanks so much! It’s funny you bring up Tron, because the original music for the menu screen was inspired by the Overture theme from Tron. We ended up going with a faster paced theme for the menu instead.
In the first lap my car was way ahead of the AI but in second lap it suddenly crossed me and defeated me... that was soooo lit.
Honestly though I think you guys must be already tired hearing about how amazing the art and sound design are.....all I can say after playing this game ith such great visuals is..Kill me!!!
Not tired of hearing that at at lol 😜, but thanks so much! I’ll make sure to play and rate your game too!
Thanks so much for the kind words! 😊
Thank you so much for racing! ;D lol
And for the very funny and kind comment. :)
Hope you enjoyed the race!😉

https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/476728
Thanks! The artist was @audments_art . She’s amazing!
Thank you so much for taking a look, Saleh! I'm glad you liked the art.
I unfortunately don't have windows, so I am unable to play your game. :(
I would feel strange rating it based only on art alone. But I am happy to look at the screenshots on your entry page and leave a comment on what visuals I can see over there. :)
