Congratulations on this score, it was a pleasure working with you!
Fun concept and great visuals! Death felt a bit punishing, but overall great work!
I thought the multi-purpose scaling of the jet-back was really cool! Although I do not envy that lil bug's back tomorrow morning.
Really cool idea, i had a lot of fun although i feel like the combat feels a bit on the frustrating side. regardless very good job!
Everyone I had test the game were good at platforming games, so I didn't realise how punishing it was until the jam ended! Its definitely an unfortunate blind spot
Nice artstyle. Interesting take on combat (but those little robots are nasty, it's not clear how to activate them and they take a lot of standing and waiting). In general platforming feels nice.
It is satisfying to find secret places with cogs, but when you lose all this progress after death is frustrating.
Also sometimes I felt that platforming requires too much precision (i.e. very first gap can be more generous, or when we first meet golden cogs).
Game lacks sound volume settings (not a major issue).
Ah yea, in hindsight I should've made it clear that you can blast them to wake them up. Also I probably should just respawn you when you fall off the map instead of making you take max damage. Thanks for your feedback!
rocket bug :)
Cool little game. The artstyle is realy awesome. Gameplay wise I felt that the hitboxes where a little bit clunky.
Its the frogs isnt it
Its always that damn frogs :D
Metroid has been real quiet since this dropped
I though I needed to go on top of the boss to deal damage to him xD, there are hidden place to get gear also, Style is awesome !! a web browser nice, the game fits the game !
Thank you for your kind words!
Loved this game, the boss fight was super unclear at first though so I lost a lot of rocket size just jumping around being confused as to why the boss didn't take damage! I like the music, it needed to loop a little smoother imo, but sounded very nice. Cool mechanics, great art!
Ah man, I was afraid that might happen. I was thinking of a marker on the edge of the screen to show where the open control panel is. Room for improvement later on!
Really fun trying to figure out the rocket jumping, the art style is really nice.
I had a blast with this and if you know anything about gaming cheat code history there is a surprise
This game is incredible, gameplay is fantastic artwork is on point definitely 10/10
It was so much fun working with you on this game! I enjoyed doing the artwork.
