Really good music here, the game is fine  my only problem here is I feel hunt in my eyes trying to see things, (maybe just for me, everything here is too bright) ;-;

Developer

I could definetly think about making a brightness setting next time, thanks for the feedback :)

This was super neat! So much engagement with so little. I loved how the different zones changed and that you could not die (just lose all your climbing progress). It felt like the fantasy you get when drawing of "I wish this could move" happening. The music complimented nicely and the animation had some nice squash and stretch going on.

Thanks alot for the kind words! i really appreciate it :)

Submitted

I rly liked it the art style was unpolished yet perfect good stuff

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

A really cool game! I got this really cozy vibe from it, with the gitar and the artstyle. In the beginning I got lost like I alwasy do in games like these, but i found my way in the and. The lines could be more defiend. Other than that good game. 

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the feedback and im glad you liked the vibe of the game :) I will definetly improve the lines if i do this art style again :)

Submitted

Great game and really fun...I just recommend using a stronger pencil for the drawing? Sometimes it was kinda hard to see...and the strong background color was starting to cause me eye pain...other thatn that it was great =) congratulations

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing :) The lines could have been better indeed, i will keep this in mind if i do this style again! :)

Submitted

Are we sure that this isn't really a guy on the other side of the screen with a sketch book and a guitar showcasing to us a cool story in live action?? No?? Because that's what it felt like!!!

Another great title that deserves 5 stars!! Congrats!! (^u^)

need more games in this style.

Developer

haha i'm probably going to do more because the reactions have been really great :)

Submitted

Yes please do

Amazing little metroidvania dude, i like the sketch aesthetic, the controls feels good, the music is really great, the sfx are okay, the final battle is a bit simple but still entertaining, really great job.

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked it!

Developer

By the way i was thinking about your comment, and that you said that the final battle was a bit simple ;p Allow me to elaborate about how the boss works. So when you rescue the friend in skyland, the two spikes get linked to one another so that you only have to hit one of the levers before you can hit the boss hitmarkers. Rescuing the friend in rainland gives an extra hit marker on the boss so you have 3 instead of 2. Also double jump makes the fight easier ;p So technically the hardest way to play the boss is by going to the jungle, and then skipping the rainland friend and go straight to the boss. Iwanted the experience to be slightly different for everyone who plays it :) But there is no AI or anything, this is something i might try out for my next gamejam! :)

The scketchy art style and the acustic guitar music give the game a lot of personality. I love the music and how it fits in the different areas. The only complain I have is that the falls are too much punishment like somene said before. Anyway, very good job, it is a very charismatic adventure.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! 

Submitted

Interesting game! I like the sketchbook artstyle and the music was really cool, but the gameplay could use a little work. The game has quite a bit of content from what I can tell. Nice job!

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

Funny art style, fits the theme really good :) At first it was a little hard to realize what to do, since there was no visual represantation guiding along

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I will keep this in mind for next time if i do this style again :)

Submitted

The art and the music are perfect well done:- ) My only complaint is that whenever I fall I have to walk all the way back to the first palm tree and its kind of annoying.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, this is not the first time someone says this. I will deffinetly keep this in mind for next time ;p

Submitted

I love the pencil art! I hope you will continue this! Such a cool approach to the visuals!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Maybe i will :) 

Submitted

Glad to hear it! I hope you will try my game too!

Submitted

The art style is pretty cool but I think there should be more visual cues to know where to go. Right now I think that they all blend together too much.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, i will keep that in consideration for next time ;)

I really like the game and it fits totally to the jam theme.  :)  

Developer

I'm glad you like it!

Submitted

Good art style and absolutely lovely music. Perfectly fits the theme.

Sometimes platforming is very punishment, I felt from boss room right in to beginning location.

I map controls to gamepad via joy to key and it make my experience much better.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! I'm glad you liked it. Super cool that you mapped the controlls to a gamepad! I will try to make it less dificult next time :)

Submitted

What a cool game, I loved it! The art is really nice and the music just great and various! Really well done! Good job ;)

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted

I just love the art and animation. Also, did you do the music? Because it's awesome. The trigger points changing the camera colors was a nice touch. The platforming was hard but good. But everything pales in comparison to how you used the theme and created a really good art style. reminded me of fancy pants adventure.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words! yes i did all the music with my guitar! 

Submitted

I really just want to say wow! This is a great game! You've got a nice platformer controller, a fun (if sometimes slightly hard to see) artstyle, and great music (especially the town theme, I loved it)! Though I almost always go for an electronic style myself with music, the acoustic music works wonders for the feel and style of this game, very well done! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for your nice words! I'm glad you liked it, if i do this style in the future i wil improve the visibility :)  I really want to learn to do the electronic music one day!

Submitted

I'd definitely love to see what you could do with this artstyle in the future, keep at it! I'd really appreciate it if you would check out my game, Dr. Maniacal's Monster Maker, as well!

Developer

I will check out your game now :)

Submitted

Such a wonderful game. Everything is soo good. IT is a perfect game to enjoy.

Developer

Thanks alot :) i really appreciate the kind words :)
