Very good game

Nice game! Greatly realized :)

Lovely artwork, and a solid platformer! I like that you added coyote time, it makes it so much better to play. 

My only criticism would be that I felt like the occasional place you could die didn't really improve the experience as there are lots of places you can fall from. Mini panic attack every time you fall. The time pressure was already making it quite intense! 

Interesting mechanic to have some negative time pickups too. Very creative!

Took quite a few tries, but in the end I managed to pay my debt! I must say, the controls for this game was perfect. I find it a common thing for quite a few jam-plattformers is the rage-quit because "I know I timed my jump perfectly", but the times I died here I did not feel the need to blame the game rather than myself, which is why it felt so easy - and fun - to make another try!

At first I thought I would've preferred some sort of life thing, where you didn't have to restart from the beginning when you where -so close- to the end but managed to mushroom yourself into a spike. But after a few tries, where you got to know the level, it felt as if the game was perfectly fine without it.

This is absolutely one of the top plattform games in this jam. The style, the animation and the sounds fit very well together. Very good job! :D

Sweet pixel art, love the bouncy animation. And the idea of an indebted Parsnip is great.

I love the art style and this was super fun to play! The parsnip is really cute and I love the animations for it.

Everything about it works great, animations are awesome, graphics are minimalistic and fit really well, and there's lots of paths to take to explore. Really enjoyed it :)

Is it a reference to the game "Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion" ? The graphics are nice and it's really well done. I got 24 coins !

Greatly enjoyed my time wtih this one. It looks great with a whole lot of personality. The concept of an open 2d jump and run level is appealing to me and I would really like to see that developed even further.

Nice Job! :>

nice art style

Nice and cute game!

Submitted

I loved it, even if both the use of limitation and the concept seem a bit simple at first it all works very well together, one of my favorites so far

This is super cool and funny, yet challenging would have liked a little more polish as in particles or more detailed pixel art though it fits rally well and i thoroughly enjoyed it
