I think the concept of a disingenuous platformer is pretty interesting, but I believe it could have been executed better. Sometimes the solutions to the puzzles are too far-fetched, like the random piece of terrain you have to pick as the key. The jump button is also pretty buggy and the collisions are a bit weird, and the textboxes don't fade away between levels.

I think the idea is cool, and I liked the dialogue of the narrator, it got a chuckle out of me, but a bit more polish would have served this game well, aside from that, congratulations on your entry

Cute fun platform game. The tutorial was well done too :)

Submitted

Your game was really fun! Great job!

This is a fun little platformer. I liked how the narrator kept lying to us. Good job.

Submitted

the narrator opening with you must be struggling at platformer games, don't you, before it's even taught me a single key, sets up the whole lying tutorial gag perfectly, and the little green ball with a face hopping the fences is cute. funny take on the theme, good job

Submitted

nice idea! i like your unique take on the theme!

I spent the most time trying to get passed the second level but after that i cruised past the rest. One thing that was bugging me was the space bar breaking after the control change level, but other than that, it was a good game.

I feel the colliders are a bit of a problem. It's easy to get stuck on walls. Other than that, it's a really nice game.

Submitted

The vibe was so innocent, I kept on trusting the tutorial and was wondering why I was dying lol!

Submitted

I can't remember how many times I've been cheated, but I like this. Truly. I've already given you a rating.

Developer

Thanks :)

Pretty cool idea that the narrator is untrustable. This game reminds me a bit of "There is no game" and "Trap Adventure 2" with the way the narrator is and also how the game tricks you. Pretty cool. 

Submitted

I got stuck at the level where it swaps your controls but I smiled anyways

Submitted

I lost to the tutorial, at least I had fun! ☠️

this ball sending me into a crashout while having such a cute face

A fun, charming game that will definitely come in handy when playing more games in this game jam. I only had a slight problem with the spacebar frequently breaking, and then I couldn't restart the level to fix it. Overall, it's a pleasant game, requiring some thought, but not overwhelming ♥

Thanks for the review  :)

At first I didn't get it, after a few levels it became clear. I do see the idea and I like it but it didn't feel right to me because some things were just not clear, it felt like for example when they said all items except keys were deadly it should have allowed me to use any item but a key to unlock the door, not the random little chunk of the level. I couldn't get past the level that took away my jump, also a bunch of the text boxes got stuck at the top of the screen and wouldn't go away, they were layering over each other from each level.

The character controller was a little janky, like moving into blocks while in midair would make it jitter and get stuck, but you're well on your way with it.

Anyway I thought it was a really funny way to interpret the theme. 

Developer

Thanks for the review :)

The art and music are really cute! Good job!

I was expecting some good old school type rage games for this jam! I really how the game progresses from making complete sense to just everything being against you and going into that rage platformer type thing slowly.

The broken tiles are a little jarring, the game would look great if that wasnt an issue.

The dialogue boxes would break if you moved in and out of the exit sign collider. 

Really cool little game and the developer dialogue is always welcome in games!

Check out our game aswell!
