The giant is gonna give me nightmares I believe, but that's what makes this artstyle so special!

I enjoyed the soundtrack and the sound effects (spring sounds are just funny, idk why)

Also, buttering yourself up made the movement sooooo slick

Very well done!

I love the startup time required to run with butter. It really is like you are covered in grease. I just managed to get up to jelly before falling all the way back to the start and deciding that this nice butter boy could not do anything. I really like the artstyle as well. Bravo!

Love the look of the giant, he's sort of Goya-esque. I'm terrible at platformers - but enjoyed how the strange, sickly greasiness of the mechanics reinforced the strangeness of the art and music. You've got the start to something neat here!

This game looks like a shitpost but has some genuinely really cool mechanics! Butter boy deserves love!

Concept is GROSS but I did enjoy the platforming! A cool game idea, just not my vibe!

As a rage game it has succeeded XD. I am raged. Do not worry though. I do not wish to know how you recorded the giant sounds. Even though the buttery take on "slick" is simple, you have a bold visual style, which I like. With a good polish I can see it becoming somewhat "Getting Over It" kind of game. Good job!

Best of luck in your future projects!

This game is a challenge for sure, but it's super fun! The different mechanics kept me hooked, good job!

Very strange and slippery controls. I liked how different it feels from most of the games I've played. The visuals are simple but the more painterly or 3D sprites made me laugh.

I normally don't like difficult games, but there's something to be said for the truly Sisyphean. This is my favorite game so far, and I will continue to play it after the jam.

Its like I am playing Getting Over It again, the only thing the game is missing is the narrator.
