Cool idea, I liked it. Only thing is that sometimes the character keeps moving and jumping and sometimes only for as long as you hold the button which can be really anoying.

Hmm I guess I need a better tutorial then, the the main mechanic of the game is the fact that you can only press the keys a few times before the poggits lock up and just repeat the last thing that you told them to do. that is how it fits the theme "out of control"

you can see how many times you can press each key in the lower left corner of the screen

Nice game!! I really like the background art in particular. Unique concept that resonates with the theme really well, I did get stuck a bit on level 10 but definitly enjoyed it!!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback

Appealing and well-polished style and presentation. Unfortunately, I could not overcome my twitchy platformer habits and usually unintentionally wasted all my button presses at any jump, haha. But I really like the concept. Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! That is something I am hoping to improve once I have more time and can make a full version of the game

This game makes me go YES! Nice game! Great artstyle!

Developer

Thanks !

Really nice game! I liked the idea and the aesthetics of the game. I just think that if it was a little more "juicy" to play, it could be better, but I saw that you made the game in half of the time and its incredible! Congratulations!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!
Yeah I wasn't able to add as much as I would have liked due to having to work for part of the jam but am hopping to continue the project and add make it feel better to play

It is a very visually nice game, I couldn't get too far though and I think it may be due to the frame rate that the game is running at on my laptop. Does the game compensate for that with Time.deltaTime and fixedDeltaTime?

Developer(+1)

Yes I am doing that, thanks for the feedback. I will see if I can smooth out the controls and increase performance when I make the full version of the game

Submitted(+1)

Sounds good, can't wait to play the full game.

Great idea and mechanics, just wish it felt smoother.

Developer

Wow this is a solid game!!! I really enjoy playing it, and even though it's a jam game, I'll be coming back to this one!!!

Fun puzzles. All works really well.

Good idea! Very satisfying sound effects. I think music would have kept me a little more engaged. I really enjoyed the poof out animation!

Great idea, fun and easy to understand! Cheers

I love how easy it is to understand how this works! You immediately know what to do and what will happen when you do it, which isn't always the case!

I like the puzzle element to it as well and how he kinda just spazzes out when he doesn't have moves left. Really charming little game entry.

Submitted(+1)

Very well made; hardly even feels like it was made for a game jam! I could imagine just finding this as a regular game

You did especially well on pacing out the learning curve

Submitted(+1)

Wow! Love it. This game is so polished and extremely well executed. (How is that possible in 24h? )

Great job.

Developer(+1)

Thank you I really appreciate it!

Submitted(+1)

I really liked it. Loved the art style! No joke this should get in the top 100


I'd really appreciate if you could give me some feedback on my game

Submitted(+1)

Really interesting idea.! The art style is cool but music would make it even better!

Developer

Yeah, unfortunately I had to work for part of the jam so I didn't get time to make any but would love to add some when I add more levels

Submitted(+1)

Had a lot of fund with it, cool idea (and I like the character!)

Developer

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to create
