It would be nice if there were some visual clues as to the correct prop. At the moment, the game just consists of randomly running into everything you find. Unless I'm missing something.

I liked the pixel art, and the trail on the character was a nice touch.

I think that would be a good idea

Coool visuals and music. Was hard to understand at first but after I read the tutorial I got it. Great entry!

Developer

Thanks so much, this is my teammate and my first game jam

Submitted

I think the idea is a good one and with more time it could be better. Good work!!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, this is me and my teammates first jam

couldn't figure out how to die on level 2, not totally sure if that was the goal either, just need a bit more instruction :)

Developer

Yes, I think that we should have made it more clear, its easier to understand the mechanics of the game once you have read the tutorial, but the tutorial is an optional thing so we probably should have added a mandatory tutorial to show player what he was going to be doing in the rest of the game.

Submitted

Nice game, I was a bit confused. I suggest adding instructions. Good job though!

Developer(+1)

To understand the game, the player must read the tutorial, we probably should have made it more clear what the player was supposed to do at the beginning of the game (like a tutorial specific level or text on the first level).

Submitted

Oh sorry, I'll check that out now

Developer(+1)

No need to apologize, it was our fault that we didn't make it clear.

Submitted

Yeah, its actually pretty fun, well done! :)

Developer

Thanks so much

It's kind of hard to understand the game, but it still had pretty good visuals, though :)

Developer

Yes, we could have done a better job explaining the game to the player.

Submitted

I don't really get this game :( On the good side, the sound is nice and the cover image is catchy ;)

Developer

Yeah, the tutorial is an optional one, but the player needs to read it to understand the game - we probably should have just made a tutorial level to explain how to play.

Submitted

The game is interesting, the sound is pretty good,  but while I was playing sometimes I died from nowhere. 

Developer

The objective of the game is to find booby-trapped objects but I think that we should have made that more clear to the players.
