I agree with Mr Aqua that the game is really well polished.

The concept is really cool. You did a great job using physics for this game. My only advice is to make the levels easier, but other than that great game!  :)

I really like the concept of this game, but it crashed on me when I tried to explode the enemy at the top and now every time I reload the game it brings me back to a frozen state :(

Fun game, but I also agree with CoderGenius in that the ball goes in weird directions and that there should be a restart button. I also really like that you added sound effects and animations :)

Nice cozy game :) The only thing I would recommend is having more descriptions to the upgrades as I am confused on  what the flower, bee, and growth upgrades do. Other than that great game :)

Im in the same boat. I am a single developer with no real experience. The trick I use is to find free or cheap assets on itch. You can find really cool assets on itch under the browse tab. As for music, there are some really good free (or cheap) musicians. I really like this guys music and I used this is the music I used for my game. For SFX, you can either find packs on itch or free ones on Pixabay.  I recommend using these instead of AI because most game jams ban generative AI, and this supports indie artists. Even for AI, the best tool I recommend for it is Bezi as it is Claude, but with the power to see your game.

Good game,  it is well polished and the music choice makes it a nice and cozy experience :)

Wow this is a really well made game. Great job :)

Good game. The game is well polished, simple and cohesive. The only thing I didnt enjoy was the music.

As what others said I am also having issues with  the camera and no player on the screen :(

I was confused when at first when I got the body to the head, but understood once I read the description

I got trapped in the brick area, but other than that it was a solid game :)

I really enjoyed this game. There were a lot of 2D platformers this jam (my game included) and its refreshing to see a nice 3D game

The music and sound effects are really good :)

Fun game. I really enjoy how you can kill the red ball at the end

Fun platformer. The only thing I recommend adding a check point that you can go back to as a way of having mental security once you reach a certain height.

Fun game. The levels were very interesting and had a unique challenge about it.

What you lack in cloud you made up for in interesting mechanics and level design. Good job :)

I love the theming and graphics. It is very cute <3  I do agree with other comments that the single play is a little lackluster, but the art is great :)

I am still reviewing games, but so far this is the most retro of retro games. The game play is similar to old time mega man and Contra. My only complaint is that enemies can shoot me from off screen, and they sometimes spawn above me. Other than that, great game :)

The game is fun and simple. My only recommendation is to have a restart button or timer so that I can see where I died instead of getting snapped back to the beginning. Other than that great job.

The movement/mechanic in the game is fun and interesting. I applaud you for trying all 3 challenges, but there should some text showing the angle and power, so that I know how to improve my movement. Anyways, great job on your first game :)

This is a fun game. The music is great and the controls are simple. I also like that the player can cling to the side a bit which makes the game easier :)

That is a great idea! I am not planning on publishing this game, but if I were to I will include a gliding upgrade next time :)

The keys for jumping is w, space, and the up arrow. I forgot to add a jump button for the game pad but I will add those mechanics in mind next game jam I do. Thanks for the advice and playing my game :)

I was planning on having an upgrade give you the ability to attack, but I didnt have time to add it :(

So I forgot to change the canvas in the menu and credit screen, so some credits were removed. Below is a list of everything I used (or at least planned to use):

Thanks! I meant to add more mechanics to level up with but only had enough time to either give the player more health or more jumps. One mechanic I wanted to add was a pecking mechanic that you can use to attack the bear with, or bees that follow you and if they hit the bear they can damage it.  Anyways thanks for playing my game :)

Lol I was confused by this until I saw 50 apples spawn at once on that tree in one of my runs. Anyways thanks for playing my game :)

Thank you :) Sorry for the late reply, I have been busy this week but I really enjoyed your game and was able to give it a great rating for its cool presentation :D

Cool. The vibe and presentation of this reminds me of the trippy places like Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Yay, thank you!! Yeah we gotta work that bug out, it seems to be the most common issue people are running into.  Glad you had fun with the bird & fish!  I'm not sure if you made it to the rain phase, but it gets even more crazy at that point>:)

Also p.s. love the profile pic haha

No way lmao!  We noticed there were a couple entries like that and it's interesting how everyone who went with S-Lick went in a different direction with the gameplay.  Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!! Appreciate the feedback on the controls, I think next time we'll include a tutorial!

Thanks!  Yeah, we noticed that bug but ran out of time to correct it lol.  Appreciate your feedback!

Thanks! We thought it would be creative:)

Fun game :) I feel unstoppable when I go full acceleration build.

I really enjoyed this game. The grappling and sliding mechanics were really fun and I got a lot of enjoyment from the fox dialogue
