I find it hard to post feedback on this game because I liked all aspects of it. The writing was not particular my taste but it's not something I would base my review on. Good job. To improve the game you could always work on the graphics or a pause menu, maybe settings.

"Mate in the australian or the insect sense ?" might be the funniest line ever.
Freaking loved this entry, the rad graphical style, the creative gameplay, the variety, the writing and general cuteness. Quite long and polished for a jam game too. It even has a love story

its too hard for me, but the art / music and story is pretty great. Nice job!

That was really fun! If you've ever heard the phrase "easy to learn, hard to master", this definitely felt that way. It's nice that I with time and was able to swiftly take out the enemies which felt like an accomplishment. Nice work!

I enjoyed this, this was fun. no complaints really, I will say I agree with some of the other comments, the controls on the keyboard just feel awkward to me.

Submitted

honestly such a unique and cool idea! from what I saw in the comment I really agree with if there was a functionality of a controller would make things much easier than it is now, but this is a game jam so we don't have time for it all xD maybe you will add it in a future update.

Enjoyed this quite a bit. The level design and progression is very good. Cool looking art and music. I played through the whole game.

My only complaints (And this isnt actually effecting my score at all) is the controlls, would be a lot better with a controller. I dont think you can change the keyboard layout at all tbh. Just feels like a controller game. Would have been a bit better if there was more speed boosts. It never really got a point where I had more than 1 or 2 and was usually waiting for them to spawn. Would have made for a bit better pacing, and I dont think it would hurt your dificuilty level which was spot on too.

Nice game! I like the level progression - how each level introduces a new gimmick which ties into the game’s main challenge (maneuvering the levels), without being too overwhelming (the existence of the non-boss levels definitely helps). However, the game didn’t seem to come with a way to exit it… I had to hit the Windows button and access the task bar to leave the game. Would definitely be a major problem for those less tech-savvy.

This was a cool and unique game! loved the concept and the execution was great.  Nice work on the art as well.

Cool game ! Nice idea and pretty original concept. My only nit picking would be with controls, the fact that I have to press the arrow keys before pressing D was making hard to react fast, I would often press D and the arrow keys kind of at the same time but D sligthly soner, meaning it would not go. I think it would help the controls a lot to be able to hold D and then press a direction and then it would work, so no matter how you pess the inputs it would work.

Was fun, nobody can steal my stump !!!

Ahaha "This is no bueno"
Loved this game, so good, loved the music, loved the script, loved the artstyle and the game itself was loads of fun. Goodwork :D

Definitely an underrated game in this jam. It's a shame this doesn't have more ratings. The art and music are on point, and the mechanics are ambitious and fun (even if the controls take some getting used to). Also one of the better uses of the theme

For constructive criticism, I think you could juice up the dialogue scenes (I think a different font could go a long way), and sometimes my dash wouldn't hurt an enemy and I could never figure out why. I also kept wanting to jump to the same rail to skip ahead/back but that doesn't seem possible

This is some incredible game here ! Everything was so good, from the idea, to the sound and design, everything was wow, impressive

Very well done ! I also went to check your other games, and I love it, love your univers and creativity. Thank you for sharing, it's very inspiring !

Very cool game ! The visuals are very cutes, the gameplay is very simple yet very fun.

Small feedback : the controls are a bit frustrating, I dont seed the point on using the d key to switch rail where the arrow keys would be enough.

Appart from that, very fun to play. Good job !

Really, really awesome entry! The main mechanics are really dope, and the gameplay feels super satisfying! Great work!

Oh, one tiny piece of feedback, I sometimes had a hard time telling which rail the little fruit thingie was floating above, and would skate right past it when I was expecting to pick it up. Maybe some kind of indicator on the rail would help out?

Developer(+1)

that's a great note!! yeah didn't realize till the end, like should it be placed at the CENTER of the sprite, or the BOTTOM of the sprite - and it just feels kind of ambiguous. an indicator on the rail would totally help!

This was a really fun take on the requirement and theme, and has been one of the more unique games that I have played. After a minute or so the controls made sense and it was very easy to play. Very nice clean visuals and the sound gave it the right atmosphere.
