Really thoughtful mechanics throughout each level! I also appreciate how quickly you reset me after each failed attempt haha. I had a blast learning each level to get my dives down.
...Except for the bubble-spike-torture-hallway on Shi's level. I'll never forgive you for making a bubble-spike-torture-hallway. And before you say anything, it's totally different from my bubble-flame-torture-hallway!
Love the sprites and various attacks! The trippy Earthbound acid-trip going on was a nice little treat, too! Can I formally petition to ban that little yellow bastard from the premises?
Looks and feels like I'm 5 years old playing my babysitter's SNES. I'm just as bad now as I was then, so thanks for humbling me. You guys absolutely nailed the aesthetic and theme! If only you hadn't cheated by added Fluppy as your sixth team member... It's a shame you'll have to be disqualified.
I always knew it would be a bunny who'd take down the devil... Awesome game! Reminds me of Bioprototype, which is one of my all-time favorite Survivor games! I love the flexibility of the weapon system. This could easily be adapted out into a full game!! Great work!!!!
I think we're kindred spirits. I love the effort put into things like the respawn animation and title screen. The movement was very novel and definitely fit the theme!
Generated hundreds of candies for my family by betting on purple, stole by devil-brother's soul, and then got called a loser by my entire family for failing to predict which droplet would win. You're right. It's just like my childhood!
I could talk about the gameplay, but... the story is clearly a metaphor for class struggle within developing nations. I think you've got a Pulitzer coming your way. Also, I thought the goblins actually took the olive oil at first and was thrilled. It just feels right that goblins would thirst for the oil.
Awesome work! All of the levels felt nicely designed, it was easy to pick up, and the movement mechanics felt slick. I could see an expanded version of this game being super addicting, trying to S-rank every level!

Excellent submission! Sliding your way out of town while the coppers chase you is super tense! And the rush of seeing a big fish in an unsuspecting penguin's pocket...
Of course, the winning game of this jam isn't gonna be Penguin Pickpocket. No, it's gonna be SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 2 BABYYYYYY
Love the adaptive music to match the game! The grappling reminds me a bit of Speedrunners! I found it tricky to switch between modes while going fast - I just want to be slick the whole time!
Excellent art and interface! Playing games within a virtual desktop will never not be cool. I wish I had some more control over how my hands played out, though.
Adorable pixel art! I want to take that lil guy home, but I think it would void my insurance. I agree with one of the previous comments that the music makes me want to go FAST, so I'd love to maintain my momentum and just dash dash dash throughout the level!
I was under 100% suspicion when I had done nothing wrong. I was under 0% suspicion when I pushed a shiny red button and blew everything up. Is this poetry?
Thanks for checking it out! FTL was the first thing that came to mind when I heard power! Throw in a lil enviro-bear and that's pretty much what I was aiming for :D
That was one of the bugs I found after submission :'( I had to refactor the entire location/fake-3D system on the last day and forgot to flip a sign for mob patrols... That meant that the mobs would establish a home base and then immediately just... float directly away from it. Oops. Another bug made Grabbers immortal, though, so... probably best that you didn't find one anyway.
If you want to check it out, I have a version with fewer bugs linked on the game page. Not for the jam, of course, but it includes the final two quests that you get after killing a grabber, plus a happy ending :)
