So having made a non-linear game about collecting keys, of course I'd enjoy this one, a non-linear game about collecting keys. Though I think here the theme is more of hindrance to the game design -- it would be more interesting if the animals were placed around the map and it being more puzzle-y as to how you use them rather than it just being random. Also, some of the jumps are floaty, especially the toucan, which becomes really frustrating because of the appearing and disappearing platforms. I think you could still have the toucan be the floatiest if instead of falling slower all the time, the player could jump again to flap their wings and slow the bird's fall temporarily. But yeah game jam so I understand that being hard to implement. Plus I guess you want the animals to have advantages and disadvantages and that would clearly make the bird the best.

But again, I'm the type of person that likes exploring a map with cute animals in a non-violent adventure, so I did enjoy this one.

Really liked the way beat and platforming was combined in this one. It added a layer of challenge, but also was fun listening and waiting for the right beat to appear (the Metronome in the background maybe helps a little?). Congrats on completing the jam !

I had a little trouble with the jumps timing (mostly with the toucan since he falls slowly) but once I got it, it became pretty fun ! Also the music is very nice !

Solid Game! The floaty-ness of the toucan got me a few times but I did manage to collect all 3 keys. I liked the options for the dice and the fact that the music timed the platform appearance/disappearance uniquely for each animal choice. Nice use of the theme :) All hail Pride Turtle!

It was a bit hard to understand some of the mechanics, but after a while it was pretty apparent. I like the animal choices, especially the bird!

Nice game

This game is so flippin' cute!

I really like how you can turn into different animals (I like animals in general). SFX also fits the theme. 

Two notes I'd make;

  • Whoa, that turtle can walk real fast! 
  • I think a bit more structure/tutorial would have been helpful?

Overall I enjoyed the game. Well done :)

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback! :D

I found the platforming a little tricky and I think having the dice pickups actually reroll your character not just give you a set one would have improved the game.

Other than that, it was enjoyable and the music was fun too.

Nice job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Developer

Thank you!

Havent seen other music games in this jam, pretty cool! The level is huge and its fun to time the jumps! the random dice rolling (or is it when the song ends?) screw me on the toucan section, giving me a turtle!! hahaha

Developer

Haha, that's pretty unfortunate, but there are a bunch of pickups to help you...thank you for playing! :D

It was fun, but for me, it was a little hard to keep up the speed with disappearing blocks. But still a pretty fun game!

Maybe try out my team's game?

I enjoyed it, fun concept! Having no indication of how long until the dice rolled was mostly alright, but was a tad difficult to manage in the bird section. All in all though, nice work.  

Developer(+1)

Thank you! If it helps, it takes 30 seconds until you get a new character.

Reminds me of a few mario levels! I think that music with a clearer beat and longer intervals would perhaps be better for this style of platformer. Other than that, great work!

Submitted(+1)

It is a good concept. I get struggled sometime and had to wait for a favorable dice roll to continue, but it was a fun experience! =)

Developer

Thank you!

Love the music and the concept. It is a combination of platforming, music, and the dice roll. There are part of the map where I had to wait until a favorable roll to proceed. Other than that, creative game overall.

Developer

Thank you!
