Very fun and super polished, congratulations to made all that in 72 hours!
Really cool idea, love the mix of platforming and the slingshot bomb throwing. It took a second to get used to, but became more intuitive once I figured out the slingshot mechanic. The art here is phenomenal too. I felt like some of the cannon shots were a bit too fast, but other than that, this is a really strong entry. Nice work!
Had a bit of a hard time with how to manage the bombs as it didn't feel very reliable, but right as i was about to give up i suddenly beat my score by a mile so i guess it takes some getting used to! Very good job its super fun!
Very good entry, well polished! Loved the art and audio! Had a bit of trouble getting the bomb mechanic, but maybe that's me! Great job!
Splendid work
really cool game! really liked the art and the gameplay!
Challenging and a lil tricky on controls until I got me sea legs - ARR! - but super cool game and definitely made me want to keep trying!
Great graphics and music, and nailed the theme!
So, when is the mobile device version release? *adds to imaginary wishlist*
Heavily polished and very fun game, I enjoyed it a lot.
Took me a few tries to figure out the bomb controls, but after that it was lots of fun! Great presentation as well. Good Job!
Cool game and nice presentation! I would suggest moving the jump button to W/up arrow, it would make it easier IMO to control both the character and the bombs. Great work!
Nice art and good concept!
The large cannon balls were a bit unforgiving but nothing too bad.
Sometimes a bit hard to aim with your own bombs, would have liked them to collide with enemies maybe, or I should just get better.
All in all very nice!
Like the idea. Imo the throwing bomb at first is kinda confusing
sling shot is fun once i got it down. I think jumping feels a /little/ floaty. I think the player hit box would be more fun if it was a bit more forgiving. The fabric of the bandana and the bomb backpack: I suggest those don't hit me.
I really like that the chains telegraphed where the walls were going to be. Learning how that worked felt very good.
Great game, the bomb's mechanic is kind of confusing :)
Wow! Really incredible game! The art style makes the game feel very soft, the jumping is super nice I'm still playing it a bit right now. I was hoping when the whale ate my bomb he'd explode haha! One thing I'd like to add is maybe the ability to climb the chains. Also do you think it'd be possible for you to make the spikes pop a bit more in terms of color? i feel like they blend in sometimes. But in the jam so far this is by far the most well polished and amazing game I've seen! Great work!
Wow thanks for the compliment! Glad you're enjoying!
I see what you mean about the spikes, I'll fix them up after the jam. Climbing the chains would've been very cool, just a time constraint thing :)
Totally understand the time constraint thing, I had to cut so many things haha
