Cool game, I loved the whole concept and art style. I would work more on the visual feedback especially those 2nd level monsters I couldn't really decipher when they're changing their positions. Also there was some inconsistencies, I thought that I'm hitting the monsters while the thing that happened was that I merely stepped on it. It would be nice to add some more movement to the game, my gameplay turned out to be more like a slow paced strategy game. Other than that I really liked the concept, keep working on it :)

What was the origin story?
We revived Saltman which was a trilogy of platformers from cart jam 3. Did we succeed? Only for you to say.

I really want to play this game but my computer can't handle it, there's at least a full second delay between what I press and when the game does something :(

Back From The BrinkMan the art style and all that is just insane.
The game play felt under developed compared to how well done the intro was! Wish there were more mechanics/tricks, because it felt like there wasn't too much to do besides move to the next thing, then backup if the thing you need is on the other set of tiles.
Thanks for the feedback, Eric! It was our first project in UE5 (for all but three contribs first time in Unreal ever) so we kept the scope super super small. (You’ve seen the casualties when people get too ambitious in a jam sietting…)
Do expect though that for the next jam we’ll have more interesting mechanics. Follow all the contributors to see the progression!
Artwork, style and gameplay reminded me of PEPSI MANNNNN! (ノ´∀｀)ノ lol
I'm not good enough to finish the level but it looks great and it's interesting enough to try to figure out, I might be able to finish it some day (ノω＾、)

Rest ManagerHad a few technical issues with my build, no sound on the opening, console displaying during game play and pretty bad fps. Overall though it's really impressive what you pulled together for the jam. I wish I knew there was a boss fight on my first playthrough lol I would have never made it past the first level.
