Music & art are top-notch! The gameplay is a bit too heavy/stiff to feel confortable to play however :/ I would have loved to be able to quick restart to play again without waiting :)

Very cool idea! I love LOVE the animations you’ve made, and driann’s music is very catchy, but the lack of checkpoints is giving me a hard time. It doesn’t have to be very often, but having to start all over when making a single mistake can be frustrating. Otherwise the gameplay is simple and fun! The coins deciding to crawl around platforms and act as fire beams is especially funny. Great job!

KleptocheckThroughtfully designed and fun platformer. The twist on the coin mechanic was well done.
Additionally, the color palette & art were very charming.
Good job!

Dark King Gorbinlove the art on this, especially the main character design! everything about this game is so put together and uniquely themed. i just wish i knew sooner that you had to hold the spacebar to jump longer lol
Submitted
The Esrever DungeonI enjoyed that a lot! I'm excited to see more, especially more levels to build on other things you need to avoid collecting as to not wake up the dragon.

Results PleaseAmazing art, animations and music! Sadly, the game is too short, I beated it in 1st attempt, but other people find it tough so I think that's okay! Great game overall!

Skoll's Treasure DungeonWell rounded game in terms of style, art, animation and music. Would have loved if the princess was a bit faster but really enjoyed the gameplay.

Insecticide: Bugs vs AliensInstead of the LEGALLY DISTINCT JUMPMAN™ / hero, you play as the princess. Instead of collecting points, you don't
Fun, creative concept. Beautiful artstyle and art, great music. Love the pseudo GameBoy + 16-bit style in every aspect of this game
The jump-height is a tad bit too short, which is very important for a platformer

tomatOH!Very creative. Character movement feels a bit laggy but I love it.

save-the-spaceshipVery cool art and I like how smart and fluid the camera is. Nice work!!

GIG MASTERGreat great game, the art and music works super well and the controls are just right (perhaps a bit more of acceleration?). The dragon felt super menacing when it opened the eye, great work!
Submitted
The Last Stand of the Lich KingWow, I am speechless, probably the best game I've played yet.
The role-reversed theme is spot on, the game is gorgeous and its a very very fun platformer, would pay for it
Submitted
Siege the FortressReally nice game, I really liked the art and the nod towards other games. Only complaint is that the controls felt a little floaty, perhaps giving the character extra friction and mass would've fixed that.
Submitted
What The Merp?!Excellent submission! The art/animation and music are fantastic. This is a really fun take on the theme, and the level of polish is very impressive. I enjoyed playing the entire time!
Submitted
Mimic's LureVery cute art, and cheeky take on the mechanical theme. I only wish the controls were a little more responsive.
Submitted
A Wyrm's WeddingArt is awesome, heavy gameboy vibes with the audio and cute concept. Big congrats to the team!
