It's hard to even find anything negative with this game. It's just a masterpiece with a brand new mechanic that I have never seen before.

Awesome game! Some small tweaks to the physics would help, but overall it’s exceptional, really well done

Developer

Thanks for playing :D

On the upside- Really charming game and artstyle! The idea of a game still in development constantly being changed in front of your eyes is fun and unpredictable, and really: who can complain about playing a piece of toast. 

On the downside- It's a shame that some levels are unpassable with out one of the jump modifiers, especially since having even one of them makes all the levels super easy, so it's a choice between an unbeatable game or no challange. Also, being able to speed up the dialogue or loading time of the level would have been great. Kinda boring waiting for the conversation to slowly progress just to play a platformer... Also also- the fact that losing a level makes you progress also bums me out. Let me fail and try again!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Unfortunately there is a softlock on one of the levels that we weren't able to fix in time

Developer

Thank you for playing our game!

Yes, unfortunately, some of the levels are nearly impassable without modifiers, it's something that sadly slipped past our checks late in development. 

And while you don't truly progress when losing, since you instead lose a modifier, we do hear you and think that giving the player the opportunity to retry the level instead of immediately being given a new one would have been a good addition.

We're really happy you enjoyed our game otherwise!

Sorry for the softlocks, we didn't get enough time for playtesting and there are still some bugs, it's hard to get everything perfect within the time :(

At least from my experience the game is quite challenging once you've played for a while, but i guess it's a matter of taste, not everyone will like our game. The part of getting mechanics removed was to let the player see other mechanics, and it also helped the game fit the theme, i would agree it might be too much having them removed before you get used to them so thanks for pointing that out.

About the chat, conversations give you a hint on what's being added and removed, we also wanted to give the feeling that you are having a conversation in a discord chat (it usually takes some time in between messages, but shouldn't be too much). We tried to make the conversations entertaining and didn't want the player to ignore them, and if you are bored you can even type something yourself!

Thanks for the feedback, it's good to see the downsides from time to time :)

Hee-Ho. Interesting game. Cool idea with write in chat for load next level

Developer

Thanks for the nice comment! In the windows version, the characters in the chat actually talk about what they want to add to the game, and the game has a lot more core mechanics. If you liked playing it, please consider downloading it, so you can see the actual, working game 🍞!

Developer

That's not a feature, it's a bug!

Levels don't load after writing, that's an issue with the web version, please consider downloading the game so you can get the full experience. We would like people to fully experience the game with all the crazy stuff it has, sorry for the inconveniece :(

Glad you liked the game and thanks for playing πŸž

I loved this! I did end up getting stuck cuz of the wall friction, but you've said here that's fixed in the windows version, so I'll play around w that later.

Developer

Thanks for the kind review! The wall friction is still present in the Windows version albeit not as strong, but several other shortcomings you might have encountered while playing the web version are not present in the Windows version.

I highly recommend giving it a shot and telling us what you think afterward! :)

So cute concept, loved it! The discord channel was a really fun touch! I got stuck in level 2 because of the physics (I got stuck on the wall) but overall it is very nice, the art and the audio too!!

Developer (1 edit)

Glad you enjoyed our game. You can check out the Windows version if you haven't for a better experience 🍞

Developer

Sorry for the physics, there is also one level that might get you softlocked but levels are random so it's hard to predict :(

Maybe if you give it another shot you might unlock a wall jump... or double jump... maybe you could switch gravity, you wouldn't get stuck if you could switch gravity.

There are endless combinations and every playthrough is unique, the game is fully replayable and you might discover new mechanics you've never seen before :)

(we also reccomend the downloadable version as the WebGL might be missing some core features, it depends on the browser and the device)

Above all, thanks for playing our game!

"I could do that faster" -Hector TL (he's right, I have 0 platforming skills) Got stuck at the second level, cute art tho!

Developer

Nvm him, we support enjoying the game at your own pace :D I would highly suggest playing the Windows version, too, if you haven't maybe that could boost your platforming skills 🍞

Developer (1 edit)

Sorry, some levels are a bit hard at the start of the game, but it gets much more interesting the longer you play. Just with two levels you didn't get a good taste of the game (it can get really crazy if you give it a shot)

Thanks for playing our game!

PD: i'd definitely do it faster πŸž

Cool music, cute game, beautiful art
Wall friction is causing my jump to be paused
And there is 1 level that I got a soft-lock on. Can't beat it.

Developer

It's not a bug, it's a feature 😁

Developer

We are aware of the softlock, we didn't notice in time :(

However it doesn't fully break the game as you might unlock wall jump or double jump, have in mind every playthrough is different and you probably had lots of features yet to discover ;)

Thanks for playing, we're glad you like the style πŸž

Very cozy feeling. I love the variants of the theme music!

Super creative interpretation of the theme! Being able to actually talk in the discord chat is such a cute detail, and the pixel art is all really nice. I did think the platformer physics could use some fine tuning, but this was a really charming game. Great job!

Developer

did you download the game? because else most of the core mechanics arent working in web

The discord chat is a freaking genius idea. Great work!
