Game Description
A mysterious rumble awakens you in the dead of night. The weakened floor collapses under your feet, releasing you into the unknown depths below the suburbs.
How does your game tie into the theme?
In the game, you go on an platforming adventure underground, beneath the suburbs.

This game is just so cool and unique! Like I said on stream, I love the constrast between the ASCII art and the juiceyness and the unexpected use of a grappling hook in an ASCII art game. Fabulous!! 5/5 :-)
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Like everyone else, loved your art style. Very unique. Did you do the music yourself?
The audio and the visuals seemed to work pretty well together. Nice job!
Thank you very much! Yes I made everything myself, the music, the sfx, even the fonts haha.
Loved the art style. The platformer controls are a bit floaty/slippery. Had fun.
Thank you! Yeah it’s so hard to get platforming controls just right.
I haven't been able find good platformer tutorials for godot, but I reference this unity video often. It explains it really well and provides code examples, maybe it can be useful:
This was so beautifully done! Loved the ascii art style!
Thanks a lot! :D
I love the art direction it was so cool! Great job on your game!
Thanks a lot! I’m glad so many people liked it! :D
I love the Asci graphics! congratulations!
Thank you!
This game is incredible polished for a game jam submission. Well done! :)
Thanks a lot! :)
The artstyle was simply amazing and the hookshot was so satisfying to use as well! The music also fits in nicely with the game. My only complain is that the hookshot can be hard to use at times.
Thank you! Yes the hook can definitely be improved.
Awesome game, the art styles is very unique and out of this world. Great job!
Thanks a lot! :)
Thanks for the gold star! Another great gamejam game, well done!
I thought it was ambitious to go for the ascii art style, and you pretty much pulled it off everywhere. I couldn't quite tell what the portrait was supposed to be? Perhaps a face of a meme maybe? Haha that or I'm getting too old.
Music was super catchy, had to take a break while in the middle of playing and the music was stuck in my head. :) Controls were tough in spots as people have mentioned, but nothing that can't be ironed out. Excellent submission.
Thank you! Haha yeah that portrait thing is an ASCII troll face. Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice work!
Thank you!
looks beautiful! but sadly the linux executable crashes on startup, and the html5 version just gives me a blank, black screen, in firefox. :(
i'll see if i can test with a different browser / os eventually.
If you want you could try running it from the source. My first guess is that it’s related to one of my shaders because they seem to always break on different OSs for some reason.
weird, even from source, in godot 3.4.4, i get errors when opening it, about broken dependencies (even though the files are clearly there).
oh well.
Are you using the mono version of Godot? Because all the scripts are C#.
ah, that would explain it. i'm on standard.
Same here for Windows 11. Black screen, in firefox, brave, edge.
Love the art, fun little game! The hook mechanics felt a little hard to get used to, in my opinion it might feel a little better if the hook was a little faster.
But apart from that I really loved it! The only other thing I would say is maybe it could use a little higher contrast on some levels
Thank you for the great feedback! Yeah I was using the comfort44s colour palette and I started to run out of different colours eventually so I had to use some of the darker ones lol, I guess I probably should’ve just reused the bright colours… :D
Absolutely in love with the ascii graphics! Really nice music too. Excellent jam game ^^
Aw thank you, I really appreciate that! I’m still a huge noob when it comes to music so I’m glad you liked it. :D
Cute little game with a lot of character. Only gripe is that the controls were pretty slippery. I often slipped of the corner of skinny platforms which got annoying after a good few tries.
Thanks! Yeah platforming controls are really hard to get just right haha
I loved the aesthetics! the visuals, the animations, and the sounds were lovely! I also really enjoyed the storytelling. The hook mechanics were a little hard to get the hang of, but all around it was a pleasure to play :)
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! :D
I love the art for this game and all the wobbles and such gives everything a lot of life :)
Thank you! :)
