How have you integrated the theme in your game?
Our platformer game is like no other in the sense that we completely ignored all the rules of typical platformer games and made them slightly infuriating but still fun!

Glad you enjoyed! Level 9 has movable platforms that'll let you get across

This is a pretty cool game and the theming is on point. It also has quite a few unique levels for a game jam game which is very impressive. My only complaint really is that the jumping platform doesn't jump more than once which means that if I just jump normally, then I won't get closer to the door and would have to restart. That wouldn't be that big of an issue if it wasn't the last jump I think in 2 levels making me have to do the whole level again, this was especially bad in the level where you introduce this mechanic because there is nothing else really going on with the level so having to redo it wasn't that fun. You could have made it so that if you just jump normally and don't move to allow the platform to jump again until you actually go to the right. That being said even though I talked a lot about this one issue (at least for me), it wasn't that big of a deal (I just wanted to try and explain it but it came out way longer than expected) and everything else was pretty cool. I especially liked the way you introduce the dragging down chains and platforms mechanic with a rat standing on one of the chains making me want to click it. Maybe if I had to point out one more thing, it would be that the jumping feels a bit unresponsive maybe but I am not sure maybe I am just bad. Anyways good game, keep it up.

Thanks for the feedback! I see your point about the jumping platform. I've seen friends have the same issue when playing, and it is a kinda boring runback if you don't get it. Perhaps making that platform jump sideways regardless of whether the player is pressing "d" would work to get around that issue. There's probably something to improve about the jump too.

Whoa super cool! The level twists are so genius! Not just "you can drag something you should not", but completely destroying everything the player awaits (that sounds somehow negative but it is perfect theme interpretation). Wow nice job!

Developer

thank you so much!
