Definitely a great game, with simple art and sounds.
For me, after collecting the money I wasn't sure where to go next. I would waste money moving around until I found the exit. Maybe a sign posted in the game would help.
The ending was a nice take on the theme. Though, the last level was pretty difficult. Perhaps you can add some music and polish the art of the environment. In the last level I managed to get multiple mr. Crabs in one level (bug). I think it happened because I hit two obstacles at the same time.
Hi! :D Wow, super impressive game! Once I got to the end I just had to start it up again to checkout the lie :P! I think the concept for your game is so creative and fresh! I had a lot of fun playing :)! My only suggestion would be to add background music to the levels but I completely understand with the time constraint of the game jam and also with only two people - this was a massive project and it truly came out beautifully! :D Nice job!
Amazing concept and very innovative art. Thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Kuddos on your very first game! :D :D
This is an interesting idea. I was wondering what was the lie through the whole game and I knew I had to do something else to really win. Maybe it was a little bit too subtle to understand, I don't know.
The story is cool and I like that you literaly turned the metaphorical obstacles of life into obstacles of the game, really cool design there!
The art is childish but in a good way, I liked the character design and the hand writing panels, I didn't like the flashing dialogue though, it made it harder to read and didn't fit the style of your game in my opinion.
The sound fx are ok, I liked the punchy sound when you take damage.
This is a fresh and inventive take on the theme, good job!
It would be great if you'd check out our game too https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/477069
Cool Game! The concept of the game is very interesting and the art is especially good and looks like a cartoon. The only thing that could be better is the character movement feel and maybe you can add music to make it interesting. But nice game though.
Very innovative concept. The graphics are good, but I think that the sound is very important too and i missed the music. When you have time, please consider playing mine as well.
Has that cute DIY charm, love it
Nice, I like the mechanic, I like the message. Feels very homemade.
You could work more on audio. Moreover, if resolution is not wide enough, then you are not able to use the exit door.
Such a nice little game. I had more fun then I had expected. I like the idea of input costs. Now I get the name of the game. :D
