Really enjoyed this one. The intro cutscene was a nice touch and set the tone well. The art and animations were brilliant and gave it that nostalgic 90s feel. Boss fights were fun. The controls were good. A solid platformer with a decent spin

Super impressive, I personally loved the Bird boss's second form. Everything was super clean! Great Work!

Clone CrusherThe Art is awesoooome. I really like Platformers, and this is one of my favorites!!!

Preto’s Fly AdventureThe intro is the absolutely awesome! It reminds me of Day of the Tentacle, Sam’n’Max and others of this era. The tilemap could better fitting to the intro art but nice ideas with the spider web jump-pad for example.

Plif's Speed-PlatformerThanks for playing! I had so much fun writing the music for the intro and taking a dive into sound design for the first time. I used fox sounds (no foxes harmed, that's just what their pups sound like + digital manipulation) for the sounds of the bully once they're shrunk since that's the last time we see things from a normal perspective.
What a trip to the past. As a 90's kid, I appreciate the vibe of your game so much, this really brought up so many games with this style that I used to play growing up. Fun boss battles, too, I was not expecting the bird to transform hahaha
Also, fantastic cutscene at the start of the game, really good work all around!

Dung of the DeadIf there's one thing I know about spider webs, it's that they're extremely springy and anything which lands in them is flung violently upward. :)
This game feels so much like it fell through a time portal from the 90's, it could absolutely have been a game released at that time. (Well the graphics are better than what could be managed then, but in terms of style and content.)
Very impressive intro cutscene which sets things up. Strong platformer gameplay with some light combat thrown in. I did find that jumping on most enemies was a much better tactic than the spit balls, including the buff bird. Not the final boss, naturally.
Having space be shoot instead of jump did throw me off sometimes.

Bun Bun★ Attacks the UniverseThis was a fun platform! Brought me back to Sega Genesis games, like 'Tiny Toon'!
Great art and concept overall! ✨😊

Tiny Big QuestGreat game, the graphics and animations are lovely! The music fits the gameplay really well too so nice choice there. I did notice a minor bug, when you die and are laid flat you can still control the character which is funny. But aside from that it's perfect. Especially for a gamejam submission. Congrats!

TinyVerse CourierNice platformer. The aesthetics are wonderful, especially the animation.
Well done!

Tiny CompanyReally fun platformer! The art and music fit perfectly, and I especially loved the boss fights—the Bird transforming into a bigger bird was awesome, and the nerd fight at the end was great too. Overall, awesome job guys!

Byte MedicThat intro is fantastic! haha love the vibe of this game overall too, the boss fight gave me cuphead like vibes for some reason, maybe its the music and quirky boss aesthetic. Great job on this one :D

Pineroot HollowGreat intro, great premise, awesome art. I'm really bad at platformers so I didn't finish the game, but the jumping mechanics are well done. Took me forever to beat the blue bird...and then he had a second form! It was nice to see the bully get beat up though. I laughed out loud a few times with this game. Well done!

RatFactorythe intro animation was great , very beautiful art style . i wish to add mobile UI buttons , can i know how you done the animations in the intro?

MicroGuardI used a software called Asperite for the animation, bought it through steam relatively cheap and well worth it, intuitive and easy controls, if you've ever used an art software its easy to use with layers/ frames. Reminds me of using paint 20 years ago as a kid. (Sound was added later in an MP3 from another software by our sound person, my art had no sound).
Hope this helps!
