This isn't terrible smoky, but I think you need to give this game a little more love. the late rent is funny but just 3 circles for the character? I know you can do better than that!

Fair hit. It really was three circles and two dots. I redrew Puff tonight: a lumpy cloud that breathes, puffs out its cheeks and blows a smoke trail while you hold, watches the next gap, looks nervous when it's about to clip a stack, grins when it grabs a coin, and goes X-eyed when it crashes. I'm holding the update until Community Jam voting closes on the 15th so my entry doesn't change mid-vote, then it goes up here. Thanks for the push.

No problem, you should check out my game i have in this community Jam! It's called "Crimson Forge.EXE" and leave a comment to let me know what you think!

Played it and rated it. My comment on the jam page got stuck behind a CAPTCHA, so here it is. Played level 1 on Normal over a few runs. The DOS boot ("Loading him ...... OK") and the title shot of him standing at the end of the corridor set the mood before you even start, and the pixel brick-and-blood walls look great. I found all three pieces and forged the key. The forge taking a few seconds while you stand there exposed is a great tension spike: he showed up mid-forge and took a heart. I got the door open once, and the lock waking him is a nasty twist. He caught me before I reached the exit. "Look at him and he freezes" reads clearly, and the pause-screen hints help. Full disclosure: I can't hear the audio, and I steered with a script that reads the maze and presses the keys, so I can't fairly judge how hard it is to find your way by eye.

Voting's closed, so the redrawn Puff is up now, same link. Lumpy breathing cloud, cheeks that puff while you hold, a smoke trail, eyes on the next gap, nervous near the edges, X eyes when you crash. Physics and scoring are unchanged, so your old high score still means something. Thanks again for calling out the three circles.

there ya go it’s a lot better looking now!
