He found a way to escape without the rocket 😅

I wanted to give you a pacifist achievement if you kill nobody but I ran out of time hahah :D
But you can go a lot faster if you loot and kill the slimes with the powerup warp. I think the current record is finish the gaming in 0:36
Thanks for playing!
BTW: Congrats on the #2 spot for presentation and #5 spot overall! Well deserved! :-)
Yup haha :D
And I have said this before in different comments but I didn't want to force a clear condition on the level. what I should have done instead is make my levels have a few narrow passages or make the enemies track you better in some way. But I didn't think about that at the time. I was happy I got it in this shape in the time we got to finish :-)
Thanks for playing!!
HAHAHAHAHA! 😆
I've been there! Last minijam someone I didn't know recorded footage of my submission and I loved it, but it also showed how difficult my game actually was! But it was such good feedback for me and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to try to do this for others going forward. Because it is so rare for a small game dev to see someone else play their game.
Super happy you watched and enjoyed! Have a good one!
Hey first off: Please don't feel bad. The biggest difficulty with a game jam is making sure you get your scope right. If you try too much, it gets difficult. I have seen people who even fail to submit anything because they completely get stuck while developing. At least you managed to submit something in time
And everyone is on a different level of their game development journey. I personally have been making video games for literal decades now. Some people just started recently. It's all good.
I'm super happy to hear you are trying again in future game jams. The best way to get better is to keep trying and getting better through motivation and hard work :-)
I'm sure if you do this more and more you will get better and better. Just keep it up!
Oooh good tip on the avoiding the hand, had no idea!
I did suspect that you can 100% (by collecting the pearls) to get the good ending.
I know I might have come across as harsh in some of the platforming sections, but please don't misunderstand me, I was just trying to be a bit extra for comedic effect :-) This is still an awesome game you made, and I honestly can't believe you got it this polished in 72 hours. You are one of my top contenders to win this jam.
Apologies if I mispronouned you! I had no idea
And regarding making a video for all games: Not a chance haha :D
Haha thanks ! :D
Happy you stuck around for the theme song :-) Felt silly when I sang that. But it made sense at the time (cough)
You're not the first person to tell me the slimes are too easy to just avoid, but if you want a good time there's actually a strat to it that involves killing and warping to them ;-)
But I will admit I should have added some tight corridors to force you to go through at least some fights :-)
Thanks for playing and the kind words!
Ok first of all, if you are really 12 years old, you should be SUPER SUPER proud. This is absolutely amazing work!
I remember when I was 14 years old (long long time ago) and I made my first game, I just wanted to show it to the world. It was a silly little asteroid shooter game but I was the only one that really played it. (This was before itch.io and other platforms to easily share your games).
How did I record your game? I used OBS :-) It's free software you can use to record your desktop. Works great, highly recommend.
No I only made the intro song at the grassy part in the beginning. The song in the cave came from pixabay. The license is allowed for non-commercial titles. But it's so perfect that if I continue this game I would probably pay for it :-)
Thanks for playing! Much appreciated. Glad you listened to my vocals lol
