My antivirus flags it as a virus when I download it or try to execute it :/ Can you upload it as a browser game?

A clever mishmash of Yoshi, Kirby, and Banjo-Kazooie mechanics wrapped up in an Adventure Time art style? Sweet! Excellent work, love all the little animation flourishes that give real weight to the characters.

Everything about this game is simply amazing! From gameplay, to art, to music.

Very cute! That frog carrying the snail is just a super idea.
This bouncing effect on killed flies is so fun to watch. It was so satisfying to be able to swim and collect coins.

I can really feel the Kirby and Banjo & Kazooie vibes I love.
I think this is one of my favorite entry!

Good job! <3

Super cool game, it reminds me of Kirby but with pretty original mechanics in the end, I love the graphics (cool intro ! ) a shame to start from zero when you have more money, it makes the game hard even it's consistent with the gameboy theme but nice work !

It reminds me of games like kirby and yoshi story! I loved it, great job on that!

This is really good, i can see it next to kirby dreamland with how it play. But i found a bug in the giant shoe level. when i touch the left most area when the level is scrolling it suddenly restart from begining without music playing, the music also stop playing when i touch the shoe to.
Also is the enemy direction random when i hit them. because sometime it just bounce directly into me. which kinda don't make any sense. I expected them bounce to the right when i shot them from the left, but nope it just bounce to the left instead hitting me when i was not expecting it.

hey thanks for all the feedback, def plan on revisiting this project after the jam. I’m considering this a proof of concept and I’ll most likely build it from the ground up Into a larger more polished product hopefully without any of those issues.

Hot game! Excellent pixel art, great execution and sounds! But the ribbon of the bees are not a fifth color?

lol I was waiting for someone to catch that mistake.  I only noticed after I loaded the pics on the page.  I was just moving too fast to meet the deadline I didn’t catch it in time.

Really charming! The intro really ads a lot of character to the game.
I feel like the game would have been a bit easier if it was more floaty, but otherwise I really enjoyed it!

thanks for the input I tested it out and you’re absolutely right, slightly less gravity really helps.

The sprites are adorable! There's so much personality, from the environment-design to gameplay! Fantastic work!!!

Great game! I found it a bit hard to avoid damage with the physics calculations from enemies bouncing, though. I especially love the music!

I *love* this one. The Kirby-esque grab-and-shoot mechanic feels wonderfully arcade-y and makes for really interesting choice trees during traditional platforming. Movement feels super smooth too. Definitely one I'll be coming back to again!
