Thanks for playing! The later levels do get harder, and I agree that the difficulty curve is perhaps a little steep.

We had tried making the gum sticky, but we couldn’t quite figure it out in the timeframe that we had. We ended up just making it really rough, which kinda works, but not enough.

Thanks for the reply! Glad you enjoyed the game.

Especially solid since we don’t have soft body physics yet. Wink Wink

Glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks for playing!

The game was meant to be tricky, but definitely not impossible, so it seemed to work well then!

Bummer. Thought we fixed that bug.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!

I’m glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks!

Fun fact: The physics were actually the easier part of coding this game.

Thank you for the kindness! We (GoofyBox Studios) try to spend as much time on polishing everything up as possible. It always make a game feel more complete.

I’m glad you enjoyed the game!

We spent quite a while working on making the game feel just right.

Thanks for playing!

Thank you for the positive review! We’re glad you enjoyed the game.

We decided on the balancing idea, since we figured most other people would do a climbing or resizing game. And GoofyBox Studios is about use interesting mechanics in interesting ways.

Thanks!

It may be possible (not likely though) that we add more levels, mechanics, and worlds to this game later. Maybe then we’ll update the levels a bit to be more interesting.

Thanks for trying it out!

It’s kinda hard to believe that this is the “best” theme-following game, but thank you anyways!

Thank you for the incredible rating! This game was quite fun to make, and has a lot of opportunity to be expanded on later.

Glad you enjoyed the game! If you could perhaps recreate the bug, that would be very helpful. All good if you can’t though.

Thanks for playing!

Just made a little script for those on Mac to fix the executable. Link: https://pastebin.com/XCZHn0Fz

Steps:

• Open Terminal
• Paste the whole script
• Press enter

Hope that it works!

For any other Mac users who have the “Can’t run app” error. I found a fix. (It may not work on all Macs)

1. Open Finder.
2. Go to the .app
3. Right click -> Show Package Contents -> Contents
4. Open Terminal.
5. Type “chmod 755 “ (with ending space)
6. Drag the MacOS folder from Finder onto Terminal.
7. Add “/What\ Lives\ Below\ Demo” to the command (See Command below)
8. Press enter
9. Right click on the application (the .app)
10. Press Open
11. Press Open (Because it may ask you about unidentified developers)

(Command) The Terminal command should be something like: “chmod 755 /Applications/What-Lives-Below-Demo-Mac.app/Contents/MacOS”

Tested on Mac OS Catalina

This has been said before, but just clarifying it

Does anyone know what the random glaciers are for? They don’t seem to have collision with spears.

Ended with 12 keys, 66 money, 2 (bread) knives, 5 happy hearts, 2 magic hats, 2 angry bats, 3 bombs, 4 hammers, and like 6 snowmen.

Yeah. 8 boats is the most I can get too. Splitting must have been a little tricky to implement.

I got 7!

Please, if you find a way to get stuck, let me know! (Remember about shift)

Actually, it he only based on Link. He is Lunk, not Link. Glad you liked it!

Have any recommendations that would make it better?

I gave up at 35.

I got 59, maybe tell the keys in the description.

Just played through you the game again 320/320 coins 103 deaths 23:03 time

I just noticed the jump particles, maybe try adding some walk ones too. :-)

This is such a polished game! Great job, I really enjoyed playing it. I like how the music shifts when you collect the sword. Love the art. High Score: 11770

I added in the sound literally 15 minutes before I submitted it, but I am glad you enjoyed it. If you like audio, I have another game you might like. Hue Blast.

Thank you for the feedback! I am glad you enjoyed the game.

Thanks for the feedback, and yes. I don’t have too much content in it. I spent too much time polishing it up instead of adding levels. If you want, I can let you know when I add more.

I will try to take it into account sometime tomorrow. I won’t publish an update until GMTK23 is over of course, but I will update it after then!

In the meantime, if you would, please play some of my other games and give me some feedback on them. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback!

Also the fat dudes are the heafties. The green capped dudes (Like Link) and Lunks.

Oh, thanks, I will take a look. I never had the patience to wait for them to go allllllll the way to the treasure.

Was it a slow or fast guy? (Alternatively called Heafties and Lunks)

If you happen to get the glitch again, please send a screenshot/video of it. I am probably going to fix it eventually.

Art was done by Zephyrus (Link in a comment below)

Also, (little secret) I was going to add another trap called the Clampy trap, but eventually didn’t because it was too hard to time and wasn’t quite right.

I wonder who took it.

Are you able to go past the paddles?

Yes, I was going to, but didn’t have enough time. I probably will keep updating it, just like my other games.

Pretty fun game! It was very laggy when you kill an enemy, but nice!
