Hey mate. Some feedback:

- I like how you took a less take on the theme and went instead for a game where you have two sides of a game genre.

- I like how you telegraphed the attacks for the enemies.

- WHAT IS THIS MUSIC!?!??! Tbf I can't really complain, as I can't make music either, however, in those cases, I'd advise you to find someone that can.

- I think that the stamina bar could be smaller as it hides too much stuff.

- The balls that seal shoot shouldn't go through walls IMO, as dying to that is kind of frustrating.

I wish there'd be a win screen, but since there isn't one, here is a Twitch clip of me winning your game: https://clips.twitch.tv/UninterestedVibrantLEDCoolCat-eFBAw-F60en2jR9p

Thanks for playing my game! yeah there are some minor unrealistic things such as balls going through walls. I am going to try to get better at music and i think you are right about the stamina bar. I didnt really have a good idea for the end screen so i just didnt make one. Thanks again!

LOVE the art, super cute style that I really dig.
Also, the concept here is really, really clever - love the switch, really switches up the standard gameplay loop for both genres. Fantastic work!

Thanks!

The game concept is pretty interesting, and the pixel art is cute. The music, is, as you said, trash (no harsh feelings). You could try learning about scales and harmony! 

Overall, solid entry! Great job!

i am not that great at music unfortunately.

Excellent game concept, cute pixel art and smart approach of the theme, well done! The only thing that annoyed me a bit during my playtime was that the movement felt a bit soapy in the platform realm, and I felt that it killed me a lot during that last level (by the way, congrats about the level design which is pretty good :) ) 

Solid entry overall, well done!

Thanks! Yeah i could have tweaked the movement a little bit Lol.

It reminds me of NES platformers. Nostalgic.

Nice work overall!

Really nice visual, reminds me of a kirby style game. For future if there was a jump animation that would finish it i bet. The music was heh, wish there was some ingame music too. The hitbox for some things was a little hmm sometimes but overall good game and good concept.

Developer

There was a jump animation and there was ingame music i tryed to make hitbox smaller but the seals i made accidentally too big lol.

The visuals for this are great.  Like the dimension jumping mechanics too.  Good work!

Developer

Thanks! The visuals didnt look too great at the beginning and i had to put a lot of work into it to make it look better.

Really like the mechanic with swapping between platforming and climbing with the level changing.  The art looks really good as well.  The only complaint I have is the movement is a bit too slippery for me.  Other than that, very good game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! The movement is meant to be slippery as this is a penguin we're talking about LOL!

Music wasn't actually as bad as stated on the title screen, and the animations were hilarious! This game was even better than expected!

My only real complaint is that level 3 and 2 should be swapped - since level 3 is a lot easier than 2, plus it leads into the Tower of Mazes better, but other than that, the game's great and I'd love to see this expanded on in the future!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. I made level 3 near the end of the jam and kinda ran out of hardness. Maybe i will switch them after the jam!

I love the game the art is so cut and i love how you have to switch from platformer to topdown. 

Developer

thanks!
