- The character art was the standout highlight of this game but I got softlocked when the spider froze my game.
How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
Our game leans into the chaos with glitchy looking player mechanics that make you wonder if something has gone wrong. Keep gaining speed and can’t control yourself? Use that to your advantage. Player model not in the right spot? Phase through walls and reach places you couldn’t before!

this is so SO good. I loved it. I did fall and miss a coin in the shiny tooth part and that will keep me up at night, but yeah this was great
Hello! I had a good time playing this game, especially thank's to the art and music. It is really well polished for these aspects. But I have to say that the controls are a little bit hard. I think for a well finished game, the spiders are ok, but for a game jam you usaually like to have the levels easily finished so the players testing your game can see the whole game and not get frustrated over a harder level. That said, I had fun, it is really well written, the humor is good and well balanced. Nice game!
Great art, but the beautiful background art is not visible when you go higher, maybe it could be fixed somehow. I also like all the little small details like money running upwards instead of appearing just one value.
Audio is fun, I like the sound effects, the music is fitting for a chill game like this.
The dialogue is fun to read too. Short but effective.
On the gameplay side, I found the controls to be adequate, but somehow the glitches mechanics feel, well, buggy, but not in a good way. For example, for the sprite missing glitch, you can actually goes into the wall, and that feels like an artifact of the implementation, not an actual mechanic.
Overall, pretty cute game. Could be a bit more polished, but good job nevertheless!
Doctor looks reliable, Bobble is in good hands.
Awesome game! Just it is a bit annoying when you go back all the way from dying, especially when you need to repeat those dialogs. Maybe you can give player some amount of health so it can be less punishing
Thanks so much!! That's a great idea, some of the levels can be pretty tricky and definitely would benefit from health/save points.
Such a lovely game! Levels and mechanics are fun, really enjoyed each level. Art is super cosy, especially characters. Dialogue and story are lovely, poor birdy <3
The core of this game is great.
The levels are fun, the trinket mechanics are all cool to play around, and the art is pretty! However, the lack of checkpoints in each level is a pretty big bummer, since it gets very tedious to replay entire levels after dying. This only feels like so big of an issue, though, because the rest of the game is great, and this gets in the way of experiencing it.
Altogether, this was a great time. With multiple checkpoints per level it would be even better!
The nicest constructive feedback ever. :D You are definitely right on the checkpoints, that would have been a great addition. Thanks for your input!!
I quite enjoyed it, but the safe points are a bit unforgiving. You have to replay the entire section (sometimes go throught the same dialogue again) and it kinda made me stop when I had to dodge the spiders with the teleportation bug. Your character controls fairly buggy (i guess that was the point) so needing to replay the entire level just to dodge those spiders again feels unnecessary punishing. I am also not an enjoyer of inverted controls, so that secion also felt a bit too long and stretched out.
So overall, I think it is well done on the technical side and the art is fairly nice, I just think it needs some tweaks on the gameplay. The world feels fairly large for a 3 day project, so this is pretty cool!
We made a fairly similar plattformer, although we leaned in way more into the puzzle aspect of the game.
You're definitely not the first to find the spiders on level two extra tricky. ;) Thanks for playing, and for the feedback!!
Great work!!! I loved the art (although the tiles didn’t quite match the style of the little animals ☹️) and the "teleport" mechanic.
My sincerest congratulations.
Thank you!! The teleport mechanic was also my fav. :D Appreciate the feedback as well :)
I love that there were multiple glitchy mechanics. Great job!
Very well done. Cozy music and art. Nice bit of humor too.
Yayyy thank you! :)
Beautiful game with some heart as well as interesting mechanics. We had a similar bird-healing vibe going on with our entry! https://itch.io/jam/patch-notes/rate/3878433
Ooooh I'm definitely going to check it out. Thanks so much!!
This is such a nice platformer, each level feels and IS unique! I really enjoyed playing :)
My only complaint is that checkpoints can be tiring, considering that they're at the beginning of each level (the bell is especially annoying, with ice physics... pressing down to stop momentum feels like an oversight, and doing tight jumps)
Really charming art! It was a blast playing (except the bell part, that's a scar I'll never recover from)
Congrats on the submission! :)
Thanks so much!! Really appreciate the kind words and feedback! We've definitely gotten mixed reviews on that one. Some love it, some hate it lol. XD I definitely agree on the checkpoints - that is one thing that I think your game did really well!
Charming little platformer with great art and a good sense of humor. I love the magic gem effects, they provide some really unique gameplay in what is otherwise a run of the mill platformer.
Wow thank you!! :)
i enjoyed it so much. the story idea was funny, i liked it. i love the idea that each artifact has its own mechanic to play. the bell was the hardest one. the music was peaceful and the art was good. GL <3
thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed and it makes me so happy that you played all the way through! XD
Art was good but tiles looked empty. I would like to have controll over the "magical stone effects" and i also liked the sound design very much! good job.
Thank you and good feedback!! Would definitely love to improve the tileset if we had more time.
No, thank you for making this game and i hope to see more of it in the future! You can also check out our game if you have time :)
