The dialogue was great, and gamepad support is a nice feature. I loved the game a lot! That being said, I might be doing something wrong and can't get past the third level?

Glad you liked it!

Here’s a hint for the third level in case you want to try again:

Third level specific hint

The achievements you can get are “Collect 5 coins”, “Finish the level without taking any damage”, and “Finish the level without killing any enemies”, so the requirement to win is to both take damage and kill the noomba, and of course collect fewer than 5 coins.

You can satisfy the first two requirements by letting the noomba hit you before you kill it.

Ahhhhhhhh, silly me! I'll definitely be trying again with that knowledge in mind!!

So... I actually didn't realize that the achievements give you hints about what to change about your strategy, and I'm really dumb for not noticing that in a game literally called Underachiever.


Great game, surprising amount of content, great concept/puzzle design.

Haha, no worries. We might have been wise to put some specific inner monologue text after certain types of failure, at least in the earlier levels, to make it a bit clearer. Something to think about if we expand on the game after the jam. Thanks for playing!
