Brilliant game, really smart take on platforming. I struggled a bit with the controls and kept trying to hit space to jump then losing my progress lol. Really impressive, especially for the time frame. Great job!!!

If you could give me a rating/feedback on my game it would be much appreciated! :)

A really well polished game, so great job! I loved how it was a platforming game with a simple twist - it kept things familiar, but still interesting, which is always good. The game also felt really nice to control and very polished, especially for a jam game. The level design was pretty nice too, although sometimes it was difficult to see what you were jumping into or blasting to; the camera did feel a bit small at times. With some trial and error, though, I did figure out what to do and where to go, and the checkpoints really did help with that. The art and graphics were nice and pleasing. They were simple, but still managed to look really nice, and the contrast between the foreground and background was a great way to make the game feel less empty. I really enjoyed this game, so nice work!

Overall, I really liked it! It definitely got frustrating towards the end though. And I kept wanting to press space to jump and accidently kept resetting the level. It looks really good though, and the whole concept of propelling yourself with the laser was pretty sick too.

Sometimes it hurts because of one hand input, but besides of that it really cool! Its a little hard, but it goes better with it :) I missed the "press e to fire" sign in the beginning and was little confused when I pressed S, character called and I was like "what? is this the end He just played down like this? lol" And then I headed the sign and boi-o-boi it was fun run :)

Great game, amazing mechanics, nice art and really fun!

The art is great!And the story is also making it brilliant.I suggest adding a retry button,because in some cases players may want to or have to have another try(for example,if I have no energy but have to shoot the laser).

The art and the gameplay are really good, and the difficulty feels hard but nice. It also looks really fun to speedrun!

This is absolutely fantastic... The concept is good in itself and the artstyle just makes it look althemore better. Also this game has great storytelling! Keep it up!

This is a jam winner imo, really fun and unique mechanic that was really clever and well used. I could see the levels being to hard but I did not have alot of trouble since the respawning and resetting was lightning fast. this goes without saying but the aesthetic was amazing, cute and clear is great. I do have some feedback though.

This jump is really awkward

and by awkward I mean impossible, I ended up using the super jump laser to skip this entire segment since it was a easier route. Using the super jump laser to find alternate routes was great fun tho.

I also think it would be great if check points auto recharged energy, since most times when I hit the check point I would just hit space instantly to get my energy back, since full energy is mandatory in parts.

It took me way to long to realize enemies dropped batteries, since the pick ups are small and dont make sound I never noticed them. I think if you had a section like this early on, maybe in the first level I would have been forced to learn it then.

and this is more of a bug than anything else but it seemed like music did loop.

But again amazing game, really fun and the mechanic was fun to use and find alternative routes through the level with! Fun, visuals and audio were splendid, and it had a story! Perfect score from me!

Thanks for your amazing feedback :D

Yeah that jump is impossible I guess I forgot to playtest that part. Good recommendations I'll make sure to think about it when I post an update!

Submitted

I was actually able to make that jump 🤷

Submitted

Great game, had lots of fun. I like that you have to use the laser beam as both a weapon and a way to get past obstacles. I feel it's a bit punishing and a bit more batteries would help, but maybe I'm just bad at it :p

Awesome stuff!

really cute game, love the concept. though I think it's nigh impossible to play with just one hand, and the level design sometimes gets ludicrously hard. fun game though :P

Loved the animation of the microwave :D especially the faceplant one. Good job!
