I really like the music, I think with a bit more work it could really sound like a Mario soundtrack. My only bother is I would have reset the power bar each time the player clicks, it's hard to get used to because it starts somewhere new each time. I see that's a bug, good stuff.

Really great stuff. I definitely had to get used to the fact that it doesn't just propel the player in the opposite direction you are aiming.

This is impressive, feels like a full, complete game. Great art style and music. I am not really good at platformers like these, so didn't get far, but i enjoyed it.

Developer

Thank you, my bro

I liked the bed scene at the end of your game

OMG The game is super cute, while it's really hard, I really like it. The game is really well-polished, and the music is so on point. That's fit together really well! Overall, 5 out of 5!

Developer

very fun and hard, i love how when you shoot the shotgun you can see a bullet come, and when you hit something there is an explosion

I like the art style, the difficulty goes up progressively which is great.

Really fun gameplay, love the concept :)

Until level 5 I was like, okay this isn't hard, boy was I wrong xD Really cool art and fun gameplay.  I wudda liked it better if we could shoot at walls while in air, maybe just once, to get extra control.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback haha :) Just like I said on the other comment, I did not think of a air shooting.

Submitted(+1)

The game looks really good and has interesting gameplay.

Personally, I find it too tricky to perform the moves I want.

I think I would enjoy it more if:

  • You could shoot in the air (maybe limited amount of times)
  • The power of the shot were more predicltable:
    • Either always started from zero
    • Or were always visible
Developer(+1)

About the shoot in the air: I actually did not think of that. Might be a good idea tho.

About the shot power always starting on zero: I thought it was already like that. I did not notice my code for that didn't work.

Thank you for the feedback :D

I just wanted to add, that this is my favorite game in this jam! Hope you'll place first.

Developer(+1)

thank you man!

Loved the game, I suck at it but I still love it. I had to learn how to control the blast from the shotgun but after that I became so focused that I played for 30 minutes straight.

Developer

glad you liked it!

Intresting game, It was as hard as you warned heh

Really fun game ! Managed to complete it in around 40 deaths, and it was cool to discover new elements along the way.

Great game. The level/puzzle design is good and the graphics look great.
Even though it was challenging, I had a lot of fun.

Good job and good luck.

Pretty cool! I really like the concept of It

The difficulty really spiked for me at level 3 when the spikes where introduced. I also struggeled with some other levels, but that might also just be me. I like it, and the art is cute.
