My poor poor eyes.
And like how other players said, many of the levels require guesswork.
I really like the general idea and the execution is pretty much perfect thanks to readable art, a nice menu and good SFX/music. Only complaint is having to guess wheter moving on to the ice was save because of holes. Perhaps a system such as in freeze 'n throw https://kiapigeon.itch.io/freeze-n-throw, where the camera can be moved. But overall awesome game!
It was my absolute pleasure helping Joe. Send him and his family my regards.
I LOVE the title! 10/10 consonance. I definitely didn't have to look up what that word was while writing this.
Thank you for your lovely response. Will send regards :D
Nice game! It took a second to realize the player is moving on ICE. I was able to get to the end but I feel like I cheated because I used a lot of diagonal movement by pressing 2 buttons at the same time and I'm sure that's not possible on the Nokie 3310. But overall, wonderful job. You got a nice menu, too.
Thank you for the kind words. The diagonal movement is a hidden trick that you can use to make the game easier (or harder in certain parts). Even if the Nokia 3310 doesn't allow 2 buttons simultaneously, there is a bit of "Coyote time" for moving diagonally.
Some maps are quite frustrating as it's basically trial and error and learning the pattern by heart, I wish there as some kind of mini map to give you an overview. Mechanics are smooth and game play is intuitive, and most importantly, Joe is very cute
Thank you for the review. A minimap would not be a bad idea. However, the screen is already quite limited by the 84x48 resolution. I understand your frustrations with the difficulty of some levels, and I will pass the feedback on to the Game/Level Designers.
