I ABSOLUTELY loved this game! It is just sooo endearing and adorable. I loved the interactions between the monkey and the goat, and the little sfx you have when the dialogue plays adds so much to the charm. The platforming almost feels zen, though maybe a better indication of where the platform hitboxes are could help, since sometimes the ledge sprites can be a bit deceptive. Otherwise the movement and input feels really consistent which I think is a very important aspect that gets overlooked in many platformers. It just feels good to play this one.
The logo design is especially something that is really creative. I really love what you have done with the goatās horns and the monkeyās hand holding a stick, and the ear and fur on the other letters, which is just such a good way to convey what the game is about.
The gameplay loop is simple to learn yet so fun, and I highly appreciate the QoL features that you have added like control prompts at the bottom of the screen, as well as the ability to pause the game anytime. A very well thought out progression curve too, as the player is organically lead towards solving more complex sections.
The only thing that makes me sad is thisā¦ I tried to look for an exploit of some kind but couldnāt. ā§ ļ¹ ā¦
Would be looking forward to try out the post-game-jam version since I really want to see Monkey get back home and Old Goat enjoy a nice hot spring bath for his hard work. 5/5 stars from me!
