Fun game! everything felt nice expect for the movement, other than that I enjoyed it very much.

Submitted

Super cool. The sound is really nice. Only problem was the movement felt too fast and difficult to move into those small spaces. Great job anyway. I'd love if you could check out my game!

Submitted

Fun retro handheld feel.  Lining up for the turns was a little problematic.

Submitted

Nice little game. Needs some refinement on the movement. Loved the sound! Fitted perfectly. 

Submitted

Nice little game :)
Tile-based movement would be nice though. I kept running into enemies because it was hard to control the character.

Submitted

Well made game, the retro style is amazing :-) 

I would really appreciate if you will rank my game too https://itch.io/jam/vimjam/rate/767226

The GB handheld was a good touch. I like the game play, but I would have to alight to pass the the wall. Pretty good game overall! 

Submitted

Nice art style. Controls were tough at times as I couldn't line up the character to go into the gaps. well done though. Good game

Submitted

The handheld looks good and it's nice to see my input on it as nicely executed. Gameplay is simple but satisfying with the sounds and camera shakes, though the player collision box was quite big and therefore it was difficult to get inside some hallways. Otherwise nicely done!

Not sure if it fits the theme of going "There and Back", which confused me the first time because I ran back to the entrance thinking that was where I had to go. I love the console feel of the game and the art, along with the rumble when you get hit. It was fun enough for me to play it a few times! :)

Submitted

Definitely felt like the game had a good concept and I liked the idea of the quick gameplay. It would have been nice to let the gaps be a bit more forgiving, with the speed it was really difficult to move up and down and I kept accidentally running into enemies while trying to move upward. Good submission though! I really liked the gameboy visual.

the character moves to fast and makes it frustrating to go between walls. but its a fine base for a fun game.

good job!

Looks so simple, plays simple but is actually quite tough. Is there an end to reach? Or is it always into timeout?
