Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at it again in the future heres the vod timestamped to your game
YES, I GOT TO THE END, AWESOME!!! glad you were impressed!!!
oh my god i did it. that was so hard !!! great first game and solo project !!!
Great level puzzle design and difficulty progression! I especially liked how new mechanics were introduced in way to the player that they could test it out at the start of the levels. It took be a bit to realize I couldn't walk off ledges at first. I got up to level 8 before it became too hard for me to move around the spikes. I didn't realize at first that spikes where instant death since the sprite remains around for a bit, I thought there might be a little leeway in how much you can hit the spikes. Having a little game over sound and/or a sprite animation (like it shrinking) would have cleared up that confusion (but little time during the jam, I get it). Great entry, loved that it featured tardigrades!
thanks for the feedback! I’m actually updating the game as soon as the jam ends, and one of the things I’m implementing is the better death animation and sound!
Such a cute character! Great concept with the derpy floating around. Love it! Gets very difficult as you progress. Great job :)
Very cute game, art and sound! Love the concept!
Such cute vibes! And the puzzle design was pretty good! Nice work!
Liked the puzzles! It was fun solving it. I feel like some parts of the puzzle could be simpler though. Feel like some parts could be removed entirely, removing some complexity?
Good game! It's really chill and relaxing.
I like the tumbling water bears :) an interesting interpretation of the theme with some tricky puzzles. Maybe could've used a reset button for the levels
Actually you can press the O key to reset the levels!
I love it! I love the mechanics and the art and it feels so chill. Awesome job!
such a great game with clever puzzling! i had fun being a water bear!
VVVVVV had a baby with Mario and it was Water Bear Quest!
I'll take that into consideration!
Cute game! I wasn't very good at it though, got stuck at the 3rd level.
