The platform sensations are really clean! Moving and jumping feels fluid, and combined with the SFX and great animations, it's pleasing to move around.

Some mechanics are pretty interesting, like the wall cleaning or the coins to spawn with a crate. However I felt a lack of incentive. I didn't feel the necessity to finish the level as fast as possible, so I sometime had the impression to just do chores. Also while the pixel art is gorgeous, the dark platform weren't contrasted enough with the background, and where sometime hard to read.

That being said, the game has once again solid mechanics and physics! I had fun completing it just because of its juiciness, and its cool atmosphere. Well done!

Thank you! I was toying with the idea of preventing you from progressing if you couldn't beat the level under par but it felt too restrictive for a game jam game. Maybe it would work better with tiered par times?

This game is so well polished and yet underrated! Everything gels really nicely, the grungy dark aesthetic and rain make for an engaging atmosphere and the particle animations of the character and the water blast are so nice. I found the gameplay loop overall very satisfying (including doing several levels multiple times to beat my score, I think 29 seconds on level 11 was my best). Only small issue I had was getting used to using W to jump, but overall the idea was really imaginative and well executed. Congrats guys - really slick game!

Thanks for the kind words, level 11 in 29 seconds ain't bad!

Cool pixelart and well done game. The only thing is, I always press the space bar to jump.

Developer

Thanks for  playing! Yeah, I should probably have added that as an option just didn't think of it during the jam

I really like the art and the controls. Everything was explained well and the game flow was very good. Nice work!

Really love the art style and vibe of this game. Without reading how your game fits the theme, my first thought was a role reversal of super meat boy where instead of leaving blood marks as you die, you clean it up, which I feel could have been a more interesting take than playing as the reset button. My main gripe is that cleaning up the red stains feel very separate from your other 2 mechanics, the box and the coins, which work off each other well, so it feels like the red stain mechanic is just an additional chore I have to do.


With regards to level design, I really like your intro levels for new mechanics, it was a good facilitator for learning them. Your other levels were not very challenging, I could immediately figure out what I had to do on first view of all levels, but that could be a good thing?


All in all, a really solid entry, and I'm surprised you don't have more ratings!

Thanks for the feedback and I totally agree with your criticisms! I had a couple of ideas on how to tie the different mechanics together but ran out of time. As for the game's difficulty I erred on the side of caution and made the par times pretty forgiving, but in case you'd like more of a challenge I uploaded my best times in the screenshot section, most of which should be pretty tough to beat :)

Thanks you for playing and for writing such a thorough reply, it means a lot!

It's super polished and has a tight gameplay, great idea and execution. It reminds me of Super Meat Boy and Rain World.

I love the mood with the rain, has it's charm. I rated everything 5/5 stars, can't say I have any cons with the game, amazing job!

Thanks, that means a lot!
