I thought it was really cute, the game crashed a couple of times but I was determined to learn how to jump
I even got one of the mushrooms to jump into space
Thanks for the feedback ! Indeed we have a few bugs but a new version of the game is coming with a complete tutorial :D
woot, I'll cover it then
is the campsite the end of this version?
Currently due to a last minute bug the tent is the end of the game but a better ending is on the way !
SWEET, I was just confirming :D
The art is fantastic. I ran in to a problem on the second level with the mushroom guy jumping into the side of the wall then running off screen lmao.
Indeed there is a few physics bugs, if it gave you a laugh it's all for the better ! We'll fix all major issues in a post jam version :D Thanks a lot for the feedback !
Thank you ! Pixel art always look good ^^
The game is beautiful, really enjoyed the art style!
Thanks !
Thank you ! We're glad you loved our art style !
The art is really pretty
Thanks you, we really appreciate it !
Fun little game and for the most part easy to get once you understand things but a bit better a tutorial/explanation would be great. Still enjoyed it and wish there was more.
Thanks for the feedback, it means a lot. We'll be working on a post jam version with a tutorial and maybe some levels ;)
Is the tent the end, or is the game broken? Because I find it hard to believe it's the end.
Unfortunately the credits should roll after the tent (last minute bug). It is the end of the Demo/Jam version, we'll make a post version jam with a fixed ending. Thanks for the feedback !
Quick tutorial before you play : When an ennemy gets in range, look for a purple circle above its head and press A or Q to switch power between you and your target. Than use the ability the ennemy had, move with arrows or jump with space. Solve the puzzles with the enemies!
Thank you all for your feedbacks!! :)
Hi! took a while to understand but when i did, pretty cool game! Also i got stuck at the tent, don't know if it's a bug or the end.
Thank you for the feedback ! ! Unfortunately the credits should roll after the tent (last minute bug). It is the end of the Demo/Jam version, we'll make a post version jam with a fixed ending.
Didn't seem to be able to jump, and was very confused what "abilities" are, seemed to lag a bit and then I'd die and the enemy would run round? Looks cool
Thank you for the feedback ! we'll look into it for a post jam version :)
It took me a while to figure out how the game worked. After that, i had fun.
I really like the idea and execution. But a tutorial for dummies would be great! Nice artwork btw!
Thank you for your comment! We plan to add a tutorial level soon !
