Hahaha. Loved it. Every time a new mini game popped up I laughed. Well done!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Wish I had the time to add more mini-games and levels, but just ran out of time.

I love everything behind this game!
So creative and fun! This is what the playdate was made for!
Also thanks for using pdDialogue :D

Project wouldn't have been possible without libraries made by the community, so thank you as well! I'm glad others could enjoy the silly idea I had.

The idea behind this game makes me laugh so much! There's also something quite ... zen about it, which I really enjoyed too. I'm definitely going to have to go back in to get past the Dodge minigame though...

I found myself sitting at the title screen a few times because it gave me that "zen" like feeling :).

Wow that idea! :)

We got to know the story behind this idea! I feel that's worth an invite at the HelloPlaydate Podcast ;)

While the game it self is a jump and run with delivery, it's original & funny take on it :D

Few thoughts I had while playing:

- great tutorial!
- so funny to have to do the intersections to get back to human form
- nice increase of the difficulty!
- the snowball doge was pretty sudden and I had to die like three times to even figure out what the controls are during that section
- because of usually being sometime with the crank, I wasn't ready to use the d-pad and A button
- the snowball thing felt like the least polished
- besides that it feels like a pretty well rounded game! Tutorial, a story with intro and ending, nice sfx & music, congratz!
- heck even save game data!
- the jump could probably get some more polish for a good game feel

Thank you and appreciate the input! At first, I planned to just finish the jam with the single worm mini game. After some play testers input though, I knew I needed a few more mini games (at the very least) to land the idea. Believe it or not, those are teenagers with slingshots, and they are shooting rocks at you :).

Teenagers can be horrible creatures :P

Appreciate it :)! It was just one of those silly moments... "I bet it'd be funny if a platformer randomly turned into a bird".
