Fan of the juicy character movement! Very well executed, it feels really good. Love the unsettling atmosphere too. Great job! :)
Thank you very much! Those are my favourite two aspects too :)
perfect game fit the theme and unga bunga guy was a nice touch. (ps. plz make an option to download cuz I have problems running it on the itch page)
Oh, I never actually realised people may want to download the game, I’ll defo be doing it in the future. Thanks for the advice :)
May I ask what browser you are using? My brother seemed to have issues when using Chrome but then it worked fine on Brave, which surprised me.
UNGA BUNGA!
Very weird atmosphere - I love it :)) How did you do the voices ?
Glad you enjoyed :)
The voices were all handled by @LeVideogameUser so I'll leave it to him to explain :)
Hey, I just put my own voice recordings into Audacity, deepened the pitch and added some reverb, hope this helps
The result is great :O
Well done on the player character controller, it feel very good! I like especially the bending of his body.
The particles look like the default sprite and the visuals in general could have gotten a little more attention imo.
Yeah that's definitely valid. Art became a bit of an afterthought and our placeholder art that I chucked together very quickly ended up being the final art. The same can be said for the particles. Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed the controls, it took some tweaking :)
Really great. Honestly gives me a lot of creative ideas on expanding this idea of utilizing tools to repeatedly optimize a platforming route. Good concept executed well. I genuinely would play a full version of this game with more tools and levels.
Such a kind piece of feedback. I really appreciate it! Yeah, there’s definitely a lot of interesting routes that we could expand on with extra development. Wishing you the best!
Solid entry, with smooth player movements and a really great atmosphere and good voices. One of my favourite of the jam!
I loved the movement of the player it felt a bit satisfying whit the sound effects! I am really bad at these games so didn't get past the first ladder(:
Great game and good job!
Thanks for playing :)
I loved the voice!
Aha yes I think it added a lot to the game! Thanks for playing :)
a great idea executed super well. the voice acting and squishy physics of the character added so much personality. the movement felt good to control, not stiff and fast enough to be challenging but fun to learn. the timed aspect and ladder mechanic worked super well together and felt very rewarding whenever you'd find one long drop between platforms. i enjoyed it so much I found myself playing multiple times to perfect my time. awesome work :)
many thanks, ringorango dearest :)
