Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Platformer as a stump! That's funny. I wanted it to engage more with the complicated nuanced aspects of chopping down and using trees. Native trees, invasive trees, etc.
  • Playtest feedback for developer if you choose to iterate: This game was a little slow for me- having to use the power to activate the jump platforms after missing a jump became a frustrating obstacle to completing the game. The basic motion of the controller is also on the slow end. But I mean, it IS a sentient log... maybe it could roll for speed?! The hit boxes on enemies could probably be a touch smaller as well- it feels unfair to get hit when you are only standing NEXT to a platform, rather than ON it.

This is a cute little puzzle platformer with good pixel art. I did not manage to reach the end of the game, so the video was helpful. Thanks for developing for Otter Jam 2021!
