How does your game utilize the limitation and theme?
limitation: Collectables come in the form of materials (straw, sticks, and bricks) that the 3 little pigs need to collect in order to build shelter and survive the wolf. Theme: in each level you need to run away from and back to your house (there and back) all while evading the wolf and collecting materials. The interpretation is that, while it is a 2D runner, you will need to end up running back from where you came so you need to make sure you leave yourself a path back.

Well done, the game feels good and is really cute. Similar to my game, yours maybe came out a little challenging, but overall nice work!
Only thing I'd change (other than difficulty) is setting the player's horizontal velocity to 0 when mid-air and not pressing a movement key so that controls are a bit more crisp.
yeah i really should have done that. i got so used to breaking myself midair by changing direction slightly. Thanks for the feedback!
Loved the concept of reaching the end of the level and you literally have to come back >_<
I liked the smart level design where you are rewarded if you are skilled enough ;)
please consider checking our sumbmition as well ;)
Really nice game, nice touch the paralax effect and the day time progression with difficulty, after several tries you can achive it, nice concept to go and back to try to collect everything
visuals are great, platforming is fun if not a bit difficult, there and back theme is implemented well, boomerang is a lot of fun to use. nice
Great game made in the time, if you would like to improve it I would recommend changing music to make it either longer or having two tracks per level, make sure to playtest with many different people to make sure you aren't ramping up in difficulty to fast. Remove the push when you jump its just annoying.
Here's a short list of what I liked/disliked
Pros -
Great animation
Very great use of theme, and limitation
Love the story being about the 3 little pigs
Fun
Cons -
Music can get repetitive at times but nothing to bad
Although the Animation is nice and crisp, I'm not much of a fan of the art style
Difficulty curve could use some work.
Jump variation makes my death feel as it was unlucky rather then me being unskilled
yeah the jump could really use some work its not easy to control unless you know you can break yourself midair by turning around. Thanks for the feedback!
Great animations, art and music. It has an interesting use on the theme and has good level design. The only thing I lacked was control on the character, but it is still very fun to play.
+ Love the simple art style
+ The animated ears on the pig is a super-cute touch!
+ The little trail behind the boomerang was nice
+ Quite addictive
+/- Very literal take on the theme and restriction
- Sometimes the controls didn't do what I was expecting, not sure why?
- Being able to bounce into the edge of a platform and reflect off nearly killed me a couple of times
- Possibly too hard? Certainly throws you in at the deep end - it took me at least 6 attempts just to complete level 1! Maybe having more levels could help, like 3 levels for each house "chapter" or something, just to ease the player in with a couple of basic levels before ramping up the difficulty and adding new mechanics
thanks for the feedback. i probably shouldn't have stuck so rigidly to only 3 levels as it does mean it gives the player no breathing room to learn the mechanics . Thanks for the feedback!
The controls felt a little weird. Particularly when you were going up/down hill.
But overall it is exactly what you expect when you think of a game where you go there and back while collecting things. :P
yeah the jumping wasn't as tight as i would have hoped. thanks for the feedback!
Nice game, looks good. Sometimes the camera moved sharply. But overall good work
controls feel a little slippery and if you double tap it stops the boomerrang. Maybe have it so it cant be thrown again until it comes back to the pig. love the concept and that each level is one of the pigs houses XD Such a good idea
Loved it! pretty fun to play and is a really interesting idea, keep up the good work :)
Cute, like others have said. The controls felt quite 'slidy', maybe it's just the browser. Sound effects are great and the concept even better
Cute game, I would like some sort of checkpoint system, but overall really good!
yeah not having a checkpoint at the turn around was a big oversight. thanks for your feedback!
Interesting idea with a pretty good execution, the game is a little laggy in the browser play however. Some sort of checkpoint would be nice as well.
yeah it seems pretty hit or miss on what browsers it runs on smoothly and which it doesn't. I should have definitely had a checkpoint at the turn around. Thanks for the feedback!
Lovely idea. I like how you have to think about your route on the way there so can get back to your house. I died a lot and when I died half way through the return journey it was annoying having to restart. Perhaps a check point at the mid way point?
a checkpoint at the turn around would have been nice. the only issue is that in some levels whether you go high or low first matters so a checkpoint could have made the game impossible of course a restart system would have fixed that. Thanks for the feedback!
This is a cute little game! The sounds effects and art are simple and effective, and the gameplay is very good, albeit a little frustrating in some places (especially when you put a windmill in tight spaces). I’m not sure if this is intentional, but it doesn’t seem like you can “win”– the wolf seems to knock down your house regardless if you have enough materials or not. If it is, it makes the player feel like they’ve lost rather than won.
Overall though, this is a fun game! Nicely done. If you’ve got the time, please check out and rate my entry, Busy Mind! It’s also a platformer, and it’s pretty chill :)
Soild game. The theme exuction was the stand out element with graphics coming as a close second. Platfforming was a tad annyoing but it was fine overall.
Please consider checking our game!
yeah i had some trouble with the jumping which makes it a bit hard to platform. thanks for the feedback!
The idea is cool, and the implementation of the theme was actually slightly similar to mine! (if you could check it out it'd be appreciated!) The pigs were a little bit too slow for my taste, but overall, it was nice!
