This is really cute! You came up with some really cool platforming challenges with the mechanic, and I really love the sense of humor.

Hyped to hear you enjoyed it! I definitely intended for it to be on the harder side, but I didn’t have quite enough time to tune it as much as I’d like. The attack hitboxes could be clearer, the player character could do with being a little more effective in bigger fights, levels could definitely be shorter/there could be more of them, and units have a tendency to freeze up. The demo level definitely feels like something I should put closer to the end of a finished game.

I was still really impressed with your demo playthrough, though! But I do want to apologize if I ended up landing the difficulty more on the “frustrating” side. I’d love to hear any input you have on that.

made a 12:44 run, fake gamer sorry no but this is seriously high quality! the movement is clean, the sound is crunchy, the levels are tight, the vibe is cool, the blob’s sacrifice will be remembered. Super good, had a blast. I got a little mixed up with the controls, though: jumping and dashing being on different buttons felt a little awkward, I’d try to dash on the ground or jump on the air and get myself killed a few times. i’d have found this on kongregate or armorgames back in the day and played the hell out of it. Incredible work for four days!

Well? Did you find anything?

this is super good for a first jam entry! vibes are great, the art is really striking, what is this freak doing here in my house

Couldn’t find the third ending sadly, but still really enjoyed it!

what do you mean you already made a game and i can pay you real american dollars for it

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO shot out of my chair AT LEAST TWICE. jeeeeez. i don’t read a lot of VNs so this was pretty new, and MAN DUDE AAAGHGHH. i could rant and rave about it it’s so good. I’m already ride or die for the first character. i wanna know what happens next. this is so good.

the art style is SO GOOD too! Your expressions and posing are all top tier, i love how you really push contrast between light and dark in the most intense scenes, and you have these awesome little bits of detail and contrast, like the different fonts for different characters’ dialogue. Instantly amazed and i can’t wait to see more.

the way i CACKLED

this is so impressive! the puzzles are tight, the movement is nice, and throwing these squeaky little guys never stops making me smile.

me when i GET YOU

we’re here to make lives better and teach moral lessons about walking in the middle of the street (you should do it and there won’t be any consequences)

really fun little game! I’m really impressed at how many minigames you squeezed in in such little time.

Wonderfully touching. Serious props to the art and music, they’re beautiful.

wow! now i can finish dying happily with all of this money i don’t have anymore. i’m truly fulfilled : )

i can’t believe i went to hell for real (in minecraft) (for real)

Fun little game! Level five’s puzzle is really clever, i enjoyed it a lot

This one bugged out a bit, I think it didn’t like me trying to skip the intro cinematic on repeat tries, but I really enjoyed the presentation! That opening narration was awesome, big props to your VO!

amazing game! the details are crisp and pretty, the sounds are nice and chunky, the puzzles are thought-provoking and make you reconsider how each level is designed, how your characters behave, all that fun stuff. you guys did awesome <3

Found a bug though, in the seventh level, getting a skeleton killed in the left spike pit gets it stuck inside of the platforms. Rules it out as a solution to the puzzle, at least!

art is already my favorite of the jam, the CRT fuzz and glare really put me back in a poorly lit living room playing plug-and-play consoles in the mid 2000s. gameplay was super clever too! awesome take on “who you die as matters”

Awesome take on the bodies-as-platforming-things problem! limiting you to three and replacing the oldest made for some really fun puzzles. Visuals are awesome too! The vibe goes crazy

Super good puzzle game! Last one got me good.

Hey all! Huge congrats for making it through the jam. My birthday’s rolled around so I wanna spend today playing a bunch of different games, put em here and i’ll do my best to play them!

While you’re at it, try mine: https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937744

Thank you for playing! I hope you enjoyed it ^^

Really fun! I liked figuring out the special qualities each piece had, and trying to not knock them over until you got the piece you needed. High score of 84 ^^

Heya! Here’s my game ^^ ty for giving some attention to download games! i’ll give yours a play too

Ty for playing! If you want, could you share some of the bugs you found? I’d like to work on patching and improving what I can!

You were originally supposed to be able to feed the dragon (?) either ashes or magic dust to blow up the whole screen and give you some time away from more ghosts spawning, but that didn’t end up making it in time. Thrilled you enjoyed it so much even with the difficulty ^^

Good suggestions! I could add in the different recipes a little slower, to ramp up how much you need to remember as the game goes on. Getting a balance between informative and flavor text was tough, so that should help out with that ^^

The next scallywag with the gumption to sneak a raspbery galette loses the finger he dips it into his milk with, and he’ll be lucky to see aught but wormcastles for a fortnight, hold the castles!

This game RULES, I love that you use your “cargo” for every single game action, so you’re really trying to skate by with as little loss as possible in every interaction. Charting a course through the different islands was a really fun puzzle, I made a healthy 793 by detouring to drop off filled cookies to the rich people. The hazards were all distinct enough that it felt like I had to get different parts of my brain moving right when I’m already worried about losing morale because my guys won’t stop asking for half-dipped.

It’s so pretty too! The bakery-boat is charming as heck, I love all the funky little guys manning the ports, the storms getting worse the further you get in is a fun touch too.

This game rules and I’d happily play an expanded version! Imagine a version where you cross between multiple maps that change every playthrough. Awesome stuff.

This is amazingly polished for a jam game! Your team did amazing work on the presentation, it’s so cute and peaceful until you realize you built too many buildings to possibly maintain and run out of money fifty cookies short of the last order.

So basically it’s a really good game. You guys did awesome!

Game looks cute, I’ll give it a shot! If you wanna check mine out, here it is ^^ https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-14/rate/3851848

funky little guys groove away from the horrors

fun concept! having some icons on screen to show which guy gets controlled by which key might be nice. made it out with 8 treasures ^^

I missed you, Impossible Quiz. this game rules. the platforming is tight, slamming to press the buttons is really satisfying. the voice acting is 10/10 and i feel like this chef wants me to do something very particular yet undisclosed. i keep seeing it in flashes of lighting in my dreams. he comes to me with white eyes and a gun that shoots knives. i’m scared.

very very silly. loved my time with it.
