How does your game represent "Slick"?
From Builder: The idea of “slickness” was something we wanted to explore through gameplay more than literal oil “slickness” or a visual “cool guy” aesthetic, even if these did still influence the final project. Through a lot of ideation and concepts, we came to the conclusion of a game with a small assortment of actions (here, your jump, dash, and twirl) and a big range of how they can be used.

Dang, the music and sfx are awesome! I really really like the concept of the dash -> twirl, and that could even be expanded to like dash -> jump vs dash -> dash doing something else!

Submitted

Cute concept! Overall fun but unfortunate to have it crash over a few runs.  Music and art is really well done. Good job!

Submitted

A very cute and cool lil demo! 

The ability to jump out of the dash was super fun to play around with.
There was some interesting movement opportunities when jumping out of a dash and wall jumping to get another dash, I'd love to see some of it expanded upon further!

Submitted

I ran into few issues while playing the game, but I really like the aesthetic!

The presentation is really cool in this game, I'm a big fan of the art and music! I was running into some crashes like others mentioned, I wasn't too sure of the intended way to kill enemies since I didn't see much feedback, refreshing wasn't too much of a setback though. Once I learned that I could do an extra jump out of the dash, moving around felt really cool!

Submitted

Nice aesthetics, love the opening menu with the announcer, pixel art looks clean and the music is killing. The collision feedback could definitely be more clear, it took a while to be sure an enemy was killed, and I thought it was a bug the first time I died. Movement controls are slick though and I could see this being developed further. Oh your thumbnail image is awesome too!

The game is really broken. 
I even broke the game by simply trying to travel up a slope.
Beyond that, I love the vibes of this game.

The game sounds, looks, and controls great!

I would love to see a full release of this game down the road.
BTW That banner art reminds me of Mighty Flip Champs! on the DSi which I absolutely love!

Cool spritework and movement system! I like being able to get an extra jump out of the dash. I think others have said enough about the games flaws. I had fun! Good stuff.

Thank you guys for the love and praise! As for the issues surrounding the game, I got something slick in the works. Those updates will come in a future dev post on the game's page!

Great art and music! The players movement, dash, twirl felt really good. I did find it frustrating that touching an enemy instantly kills you. also as others have said I had to refresh the page to try again after dying.

Dope vibes for sure, but yeah I had the same thing happen that the last comment was talking about where the character just disappeared and you need to refresh the page.

Submitted(+2)

I love the style, the art and music really sell the classic feel, however when you die you have to refresh the page because the player disappears which was a little frustrating

I started the game and then the player immediately disappeared for some reason after moving around

Nice prototype of a game, I was into it and then it just stops, the boss dies in one hit and that's that. 

Submitted(+2)

Amazing art and immaculate vibes. The boss's design felt straight out of an SNES or Genesis game, as did the "Jet, Outrage!" voiceclip. Would have been a smoother experience with a game over and reset, but I still had a lot of fun. I really liked the movement; the combo of dash -> coyote jump -> dash -> twirl is really fun to pull off.

I really liked this, the music fits well, i liked the art direction, i would really like to see a demo version of this game in the future.
And if this was your first ever published itch project/jam you guys did some phenomenal work here congrats and keep going.

I really love the sounds and aesthetics, with more time this could be great.

Developer(+1)

This is ultimately more of a prototype than a demo, but that's OK. I'm proud we could accomplish this in such a small amount of time!
