This game reminds me of Pressure Cooker for the Atari 2600. I had an idea if you ever expand on the game you could add customers who order mixed drinks at the higher levels to mix things up a bit.

Multiple people have mentioned check points/saving and had difficulty getting further too so if I do a post jam update might address the issue with the elevator shaft perhaps rotating the arrow to point downwards to hint where to go and perhaps a check point near the key.

I've done GB jam before but you're supposed to make everything from scratch which I don't like. Also the resolution might be a bit too large for my low quality pixel art haha.

I think you had the same issue as someone else in that they tried to fly up the elevator shaft. The humans can't block you, you can fly right past them. Whats happening is that you can only fly as long as you have charge(The blue gauge) and you don't have enough to get up there. To get further you have to turn on the generator and then theres another step.

You can move through the enemies, they can't block you. From what you're describing you're trying to fly up the elevator shaft and running out of charge which results in the bobbing effect. You have to go down the shaft and activate the elevator when you're standing on it.

It would help if the camera was offset in front of the player so you could see further ahead and not lag behind though that might take away from the 'rage' haha.

Its kinda got that old school retro Atari 2600 feel.

Do you mean you tried going straight up the elevator shaft after getting the generator key? You can't just fly up there. You have to go back and turn on the generator and then go down the shaft to find the lift.

I found it too easy to die in the game though the art style is interesting.
Wouldn't mind seeing a post jam update with an easy option.

Don't know if its a bug but I got stuck in the room where the first key is.

Cool game, the art styles got that 16bit feel to it :)
I did have difficulty with the wall jump though and gave up. Maybe it would have been easier if space bar was bound to jump rather than W.

Cool game.  If you'd done a web build you'd have gotten more ratings and a higher rank. A lot of people won't download a jam game.

Not 64x64.

Nice graphics but does not conform to the4 64x64 resolution limitation.

Interesting game with RPG and puzzle elements. One critique I will make is that the font was a bit hard on the eyes. Would have been better without the blurring.

Interesting idea using one pixel to represent the player. Allows you  to fit a lot in at that scale. The music sets a certain atmosphere that works well in the game. In regards to the resolution restriction the bar that moves up from the bottom in one of the rooms doesn't move within the restriction but overall good try.

If I do a post jam update maybe I'll add an arrow or make the plant blink once its fully extended to indicate what to do.

Nice graphics though the font is not within the 64x64 resolution limit.

Cool game. More health potions would have been nice. I played a couple games and both times eventually ran in to the situation where I was low on health and didn't have enough health potions. Though maybe I did too much exploring and not enough heading for the exit.

Nice artwork however the fonts not within the 64x64 resolution restriction. You could try to correct it and resubmit before the jam ends.

The game is rendered very blurry. If you do a post jam update it would improve the visuals if the blurriness was removed.

The base resolution of the game pre scaling if there is any is not 64x64 or less.

Nice pixel art however the game is not within the 64x64 screen resolution limit of the jam even factoring in scaling.

Game looks nice however is not within the 64x64 resolution limit of the jam.

I used Godot too. I think its quite easy compared with something like Unity.
Its too late for this jam but you might find it useful in others.
In the project settings
Display -> Window -> Set width and height to 64
Display -> Window -> Set test width and test height to a multiple of 64 e.g. 512
Display -> Stretch -> Set mode to viewport and aspect to keep.
Rendering -> 2D Tick use GPU Pixel Snap

As someone else mentioned the cover does not do this game justice.

Took me a while to figure out how to do the big jump and then got stuck a little further on after the next save point I think. The spikes were somewhat frustrating when trying to jump over them bumping into the side. . I don't know if it would make the game too easy but having the player only collide with the spike when they are moving in the opposite direction to which the spike is facing would make it easier.

A cute platformer. Well done.

Cool game. Was this inspired by the first Zelda?
If you wanted to you you could diffidently take this further. If you continue on I recommend  adding some furniture/decorations to the indoor areas so they aren't so bare.
Also the font is not rendered within the 64x64 limitation of the jam and doesn't fit the pixel art of the game.
Overall good job :)

Cool little platformer.
I like how compact yet readable the font is. Is available online?

Looks interesting. Reminds me of the dos game Pharaohs Tomb however as someone else already mentioned its not 64x64.

I think this is the only game in the jam thus far that I've finished.
If you update the game post jam a shield powerup would be useful so the player can survive getting hit once :)

The player movement felt slow to me however the intro is cool and nice graphics. Also the music fits the game too. Good job :)

I don't know how difficult people are finding it to get past the guards but if I tell them that removes a significant portion of the challenge. Perhaps I can find a way to hint at the solution by drawing attention to the area in the game.
Yeah that trap was devious :) If you look at the last window before the door you can see a bit of the guards helmet.
Thanks for the feedback.

When you get a certain distance from the guards they chase you and move 1.5 x faster. At the moment there is no warning when they are coming and as the resolution is so small you don't see them until they are quite close. Post jam I'll increase the resolution which might make it a little bit easier and maybe give the player some kind of warning when a guard is a certain distance from the player.

I would'nt give a game that could not be rendered correctly on a 64x64 display 5 stars for authenticity.
Its not 100% 64x64 then.

However according to the FAQ

"Can I use screen effects like CRT or scanlines that may exceed the actual 64x64 limit? YES! But, make sure it's optional and that the game itself is 64x64 before effects."

So if the bloom is a screen effect and not something thats applied on a per object basis it might be within the rules.
If you're dead set on using them I suggest having them off by default.
Perhaps try getting in touch with one of the hosts on discord.

Yes.

Someone else brought that up too. If I do a post jam ver it'll be something I look into.
Cheers :)

Its easier in easy mode haha :)
Nothing to unlock in terms of game play. Just a 'you win' screen. Not worth the amount of frustration to reach it haha.

Nice pixelart but as others have stated not 64x64.

Don't know if I'm the only one whos run into this issue however on one of the levels the memory usage more than quadruples and the game crashes.
