Very cool game, I love that the character is glowing and the red trail effects looks amazing as well. Over all really amazing game with really nice fluent movement and juicy effects :D.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it! We tried to polish the most we could in the 48 hours, so it's great to see that people notice it :)
it's fun and amusing game. it's just like Getting Over it but with a bit different mechanic of moving , so it's quite original.
Getting Over It was quite popular some time ago, and it still might be, I don't know hahaha, either way, it actually was one of our inspirations. We had the idea of making a platformer where you could vault with a spear some time ago, but never worked on it. For this jam I thought of remixing that idea with a Getting Over It style game, and adding the pickaxe. The idea is quite simple, but I think it worked nicely. Thanks for commenting and playing!
Reminds me of a more forgiving Getting Over It! Loving the glow and sparkles and game feel. Took me a litle bit to get used to how to move then was flying up the tower in no time.
(also - Tried to play in browser and whilst the music was working the screen was only pink - chrome v 84.0.4147.135
Worked when downloading)
Yeah, that game is quite brutal! We tried to make the game with a similar spirit, but just a biiiiit easier, so that people wouldn't rage quit so easily. Great to see you got hang of the controls quite fast, also!
I'll look into this problem with the browser version after the jam is over, thanks for pointing it out! Thanks for playing too!
Really cool!
Cool idea, very juicy
Dope game, lots of game juice. I did one run where I methodically planned my strikes, then one where I spam clicked like crazy. I was more successful and had more fun with the latter. Only criticism is that it can be hard to aim the pickaxe when you're on the edge of the screen but overall well done.
Edit: forgot to say but the music was way too loud and I had to mute it. No biggie tho
Thanks for playing! I noticed the player could end up spamming clicks, but in the end decided to keep it in, and add some walls here and there to make it harder for the player to just zoom through the game. It still seems the game can be beat pretty fast, despite that hahaha
I will try to add more space on the sides once the jam is over, and add some sound options as well, thanks for the feedback on these things!
Cool game. Nice graphics
