The concept is really interesting that's a great arcade game! 😁

sadly I wasn't able to make a functional web build ^^" but thank you for trying!

I saw your game in shovel's stream!! It's waaay harder that it seemed, and it seemed hard XD

but, I find it interesting like you were able to make every lvl feel so different only through the physique: we think we mastered the movement but each time the next lvl make us learn again? Also, I was SUR that it was an hamster, not a bird, in the ball, I was so surprised to figure it out XD

people seem to like that last screen, it's such a relief because I wasn't sure I would be able to make it in time xD 

thank you for the review I'm really happy you had a good time playing my little game!!

(also, saw on your creator page that you welcolmed discord reach, for the purpose of making games  ? I thought it could be fun to maybe join force for a jam one day, so I sent you a request! 👀)

Oooh no way! thank you! 🕺💃🕺💃✨

I love the Idea, I love the graphism but for me it lacks 2 things to make it top notch: music/sound, for the atmosphere, would make me totally immerge in the game; and hearts on the road, so I can refill from time to time (but that comes from a person who's bad at game, so take it or leave it if you like the balance of your game as it is xD) 

I made something like 590 pountos (yey!), and didn't get the trophee -side- wife ಥ_ಥ

I find the art direction really charming! it's uncommon to see games who are hand drawn! It must've required a lot of time, congrats for submitting, even if not everything was implemented, it is still playable and enjoyable! I had a good time!

I like that you encourage people to go outside for finding ideas when they're out of it! Sadly, talking to the nice-guy npc stucked me, couldn't move anymore, when I was on my way home ^^" but I had fun playing your takes on those old school games! I killed it on the dino game eheheh

Omg, that's peak, I loved everything about it, the graphisms, the battle mechanics, and I loved mixed matching the different abilities! It was so pro looking, I would've never guess it was a jam game ! Really impressive! 

That was really really clean, with a nice thought game design, and a really creative idea of a mechanic, it is simple, but everything works around it and it doesn't feel gimmicky! Also I don't know if it was on purpose, but I saw a great message in that mechanic too: sometime in life you have to work on your own growth first before committing into a seemingly harsh task, as sometime you have to wait to be in the right state (of mind hehe). it's ok to take some step back, it's ok to wait for the right time 🦾

thank you for passing by my rating section, I'm happy I had the chance to discover your game!

Thank you! And no probs, since the start I'm trying the games of all people kind enough to give my game its chance!

Once again, one of my favorite entries doesnt have a .exe, Am I cursed???? xD

That was Purrfect! Like, I have no reserve, nowhere! I made it to 25 days, but between us, I suspect my landlord to be unworthy of trust, I think he is a thief, or worst ಠ╭╮ಠ

I'm really learning to platform this week xD That was a bit too challenging for the newbie that I am, but the controls felt good enough, and the atmosphere was nice enough that I wanted to push through for a while! Really well done!

happened to me twice already, so I can confirm that it's a recurrent bug

The controls feel good, that's a well made platformer!

thank you for playing! it's no surprise the presentation is the best aspect of the game, I'm an illustrator originally 🫡 

Thanks for the review !

oh, courage for the gmtk jam! I will not follow you, but I wish you the best anyway 💪✨

Oh I really want, indeed! thank you! I personally would'nt need the moddable version but it may interest other devs, who knows! 

Glad you liked the art! you understood my intentions well 🫡  thank you for the review!

I love all kind of games so it's a bit tricky to give a clear answer to that 😆 it goes from minesweeper to animal crossing, ace attorney... totk... ghost of tsushima, baldur's gate... mmh... maybe the link between all of them is that I am the one defining the rythme. They are centered around creativity/thinking, or the exploration is breathtaking. also none of them is centered around challenges/frustration? like when there are challenges they come by when I'm already deep in the game and invested, and I can usually avoid it as long as I want xD

that would be my answer xD and as for why your game doesnt really fit in there even though it's well thought and well made: it made me feel like it was ahead of me all the time, like I was running after it, if it makes sense. I lacked that sens of controle I guess...

There, I hope I replied adequatly to your question xD but you made me curious too! what are your type of games ? 

Merciiii!

I love the concept, I find the controls really satisfying and intuitive, the only thing is: I would've not put those "timed" obstacle so soon. The aim feels too unprecise at that point to be comfortable in those "disappearing platforms + poisoned vines" area. We are still figuring out how our bio-meca body works xD 

But I've been proven to be a bad at games, if you wanted the game to be somewhat challenging then you can just disregard what I just said xD 

I loved the atmosphere too, and the context and message is great! GG!

I might not be the target audience, but I found it still really creative, never played something similar before! it was also pretty and clean, I had a good time! 

WHY IS THERE NO .EXE I WANTED TO DOWNLOAD THAT GAME SO MUCH!!

More seriously though, I had such a good time, it is so clever and cute! So glad Shovel played it, I would've missed it otherwise! So neat!

 the GOTY 2025:

It was a pleasure to watch your stream! I had such a good time that I stayed way longer than  what would've been reasonable! 😆 if it's not too late in the night, I'll be here for your next one!

Also, I'm happy you enjoyed the game, I was really nervous! I'm not use to share my work, I tend to stay in my corner, drawing and creating for my eyes only, so I didn't have a sense at all of if it would be well received or not before submitting it. And watching you play, laugh at some of my jokes, creating with so much care and appreciating my pixel art.. You know, I feel really grateful that I had the opportunity to see it!

Anyway, thank you for the review, and for the clip!

You're the first person using the tiles as originally intended: everything is connecting! XD (not that the other way around is bad, I'm always amazed to see how brains work in different ways from a person to an other, but today I found a peer! 😆)   he reminds me a bit of Dragonair in a way!

Thank you for playing, I'm happy you liked my game! 

Hahahah! dont worry, it was designed so the creature would look wacky regardless, because Neo, the character you play, is just starting, you know 😆 so it doesnt tell anything about YOUR art abilities 😆

I agree the controles are a bit... awkward, especially in the creative part (for exemple the eraser, I changed the collision box just before posting so just the tip would erase, without thinking it would make it SO HARD TO GRAB. that was stupid, but I got a lesson from it: don't try to fix something that's already working) 

also some controles are not as intuitive as I thought they were, sadly :/ but hey, I'm a newbie in game dev so obiously I'll make some rookie mistakes 🙂‍↕️ 

thank you for playing my game! and thank you for the review 🫡 

currently watching shovel's stream, It made me feel so stupid to watch him FLY OVER the first lvl, I guess it was totally doable at the end of the day, I'm just a reaaally slow typer, good lord XDD

What to say? The game reminds me of that one with the guy in a cauldron and a pickaxe. Also I successfully felt like a caterpillar. fighting for their life. 

I'm not an hardcore gamer, I played a bit more than 10 minutes and had to stop, I made it to 12% and it's enough xD But I can see this game being really popular with streamers and youtubers! AND I had fun! AND The pixel art was dope, loved the art style. It was a clever choice to go for that simple visual, really effective!

Felt like a joining a fastfood team in rush hour, but fun! I laugh so hard, I think I will download this game! It is such a great way to make people write, just write. We always think that creating is hard, it is not, we just think to much! Thinking should come after, to fix, to improve, but not before even starting! You already were on my to-play list, but thank you for reviewing my game, or else I might have never tried it, cause I focused the game with only few rating, and I wouldn't may have the time for yours.

Anyway, you show me your creature, I show you my.. uh.. story? 

dang that was fun!

I won! eheheheh

That was splendid, loved the writing and humour, the typing attack was such a nice touch! great job!!

(I loved the little water dispenser in the first area, reminded me of my darkest jam hours, those things are hell to draw!)

edit: forgot to comment about the music: SUCH A BOP! loved it, really well fitting!

THAT WAS SO FUN! accessible, straight forward, a bit of strategy too, and the controls are really satisfying!

just a thing to note: I played in browser and after 3 lvls I got a close up on the egg, is it supposed to hatches here? is it the end of the game? The back arrow's not working (same for the credit page) and nothing is happening :/ 

EDIT: IT WASN'T A BACK ARROW, IT WAS THE "ENTER" ICON! good I didn't close nor refresh the page! my new master is really really cute!

de rien, merci à toi! 🫡

thank you! did you play in french? 😈

creature: simplicity, efficiency, adorability, 21/20

THANK YOU 💪

Yes, yes! you got it! It kind of forces the player to draw a funky looking creature, cause as a debutant, Neo wouldn't be able to make something perfect! And it also gives people who "can't draw" something to work with you know ? it would've been dissonant to have Neo say "I have plenty of Ideas" to then have the player stuck in front of a white canvas with just a pen 😆

I love the fur, your creature is adorable ! reminds me a bit of an edgehog 🦔

I'm glad to hear it! your duck looks like he's called Oliver, that's his name now 😎

hehehe 9/10! That was fun! The sense of urgency was well integrated without making the game frustrating or unfear! well done !

The art style is gorgeous, just concerned for the font that may not be perfectly readable (on smaller screen, or for people who's english is not their native tong for exemple) 

I assume the game is something like having the biggest number at the end of the road, choosing which dice role to use now to increment it, and wich to save for a later road? with like a limited "forever" ability who would be used to keep a strong candidate for every roads? Or maybe I'm really far off XD but it seems promising, and yes, gorgeous, what a candy for the eyes!
