Lovely little game you made there! Quite some unexpected things! As mentioned a couple of times, it was quite short, but thats ok for a gamejam game. I like the look and the music is fitting.

Overall great job!

Very nice! I will be a little repetitive with the comments and say that it's too short :(

But I loved it! It was awesome, and I really hope you develop it more and make it a full game!

Submitted

Hahaha yes. I loved how you trolled me on this one. + Very polished.

Platforming mechanics are 10/10. Art too, and the unexpected message. Very positive experience, super happy you made this. Thank you!

Hey. I recorded a video about the Unexpected jam and included your game in it. If you want to cut your game out of the video, let me know. However, if you like the video, I make similar videos every day. I will be happy if you subscribe. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game.

It's very polished and well-done! Such a cute idea! ♥

I wanna play more, its soo well made.

Submitted

Very nice & unexpected! I’d love it to be a bit longer, though. Good job!

Submitted

This is very funny, I just wanted more 😁

The sound is perfect, the design is perfect, the gameplay is perfect but... IT'S TOO SHORT ! I WANT MOOOOORRRE!!!

I like the little Marioésque experience you’ve whipped up here. The style and feel is quite enjoyable, and as many have said, it makes you yearn for more content.

The parody-element leaves your imagination running on what other “Mario-tropes” you could tackle here. Someone already mentioned real stinky sewers.

My first thought would be a turtle, and if you’d jump on the poor thing Mav would be rightly accused of animal-abuse.

BTW, I noticed you could jump quite high (and even through the ground) if you manage to mash the controls accordingly.

It was also possible to kill this fellow on the second run (even though he was supposed to beat you “this time”).

(I find it always fun trying to find this kind of “loopholes” whenever possible)

But all in all good job! Cheers!

very funny and hilarious game, i love the pixelart and the music, a bit short but worth to play, great job

Submitted

So smooth, such great art and sound! This was pure artistry, more than it was a game but of course, nothing to complain about! I mean, the transitions, daaamn! Or the way you start the game with space... So beautiful!

Submitted

Funny, unexpected and cute! I love how simple it is and how you managed to make it so good despite being so short!

Submitted

Love everything about the game except for it being too short xD

Submitted

A funny and very well made little game. Perhaps a bit too short. Well done.

Submitted

Loved the game -- it was really nice and sweet! Too bad the game ended before the music really got to the good part.

Bravo! That was a treat and I loved the art aesthetic! I got GOT in more ways than one ;)

Submitted

I loved the way you subverted expectations, it was really funny! The art looks really sweet and it makes me wish I could play around with it more. Great job ;)

Submitted

Short and fun great stuff well done
