The hitboxes are hard to figure out but i LOVE the art stle and i probably rated the game too high but i like it youre welcome! Very fun

Developer

yeah the hitbox of the crab is tight for the first spikes but I’ll fix it in the future updates. Thanks for playing the game!!

Honest review:

Damn, and I thought my rage game was brutal!  Your game is so evil, lol ;P!  I can't say how many times I died (why did you not keep track?), but it was a lot!!

The graphics, animations, and audio are really rough.  Crabs are very tough to animate, you could have picked an easier character.

Developer

Thanks for the Honest review! yeah i did not keep track of the player collision which people struggled to beat the first spikes but its my issue. also of course crabs are very hard to animate, i wanted to add it as a character because of crabs moving reversed when scared or something, not a fair reason but idk.

I made it to the end (got the bamboo)! At the beginning I was about to drop it but once you get the flow you can go through the level at a reasonable pace! This is not my favorite type of games, but this one is solid! Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks For your review!! glad you made it to the bamboo! i was pretty much in a hurry (made in 3 days) making the game which is why it looks not great but overall fun. i might make some updates to the collision since people struggle to pass the first spikes its a very much tight and not good position.

A pretty neat idea to fit the theme. Though personally I wasn't able to stand much of it for very long, and I think the music is pretty bad (which might be intentional but still).

Developer

thanks!! yeah im a pretty begginer composer that is learning.

As someone who's also dabbled in music without knowing what they were doing, I did think "this sounds like something I would make" lol.

flappy crab! definitely a rage platformer 😂

Developer(+1)

lol. thanks for your review! i was also meant to make the collision of player a little smaller. besides i will update the game after the end of this jam.

Submitted(+1)

I love the art! But it makes the hitbox a bit hard to tell in my opinion

Developer

thanks!! yeah i planned to make the hitbox of player smaller as not much unfair but forgot to update the game in the 48 hour bug fix period. still will be updated once the game jam ends.

An abrasive but still charming rage game with some twists up its sleeve, but even though it's a rage game I wish the hitboxes were a little more fine-tuned, as not all frustration is good frustration. Cute art though! I like the style

Developer

thanks for your honest review! Yes I actually planned to make the hit box on the center head which most people were talking about in the comments but I forgot to update my game during the 48 hour bug fixes period. But I will upload the fixed file once the jam ends.

It was a fun Rage Quit Game. 

I got my coffee and tried my best but I only got so far, still very entertaining. I recommend reviewing the hitboxes and maybe randomize gravity for extra pain.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your honest review! i had planned to fix the collision hitbox during the 48 hour bug fixes brackeys jam had but nearly forgot. it will be updated tho after the end of this jam.

Submitted(+1)

I liked the animations. They remind me of Pizza Tower. The gameplay was very difficult. I think maybe the hitboxes should be smaller.

Developer

Thanks for your review! funny enough i used antonblast bossbuster color palletes (a wario land 4 inspired game which the creator of antonblast was a freind with mcpig or the creator of pizza tower) i will also fix the collision issue with either the spike or the crab..

Pretty cool rage game! I liked that the game kind of flips the idea around trusting your own gaming instincts. It is definitely rage inducing (which I assume is intentional) but I think it would be nice if there's like a "baby" mode for gamers that suk at games like me xD. The visuals are really charming and the music is there though it does need a bit more polish. I also like the snarky comment of the voiceover at the start lol. Great work!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! i wanted to add a baby mode and fix the crab collisions but i made it in like 3 days in almost deadline so its my fault to not make it with more time..

Submitted(+1)

That's completely okay! Its fairly common for a game jam! Still a cool game though!

Hello, nice game you made, definitely didn't try to beat for like 20 minutes before giving up xd. I like the music and the art, if i had one improvement it would be slightly smaller hitboxes, even though it's a rage game, the mechanics and trolls themselves are enough to drive someone insane, trust me :)

Developer

thanks!! yeah i didnt though of the collision issue but since a rage game should have a good player collision but hard platforms so ill keep that in mind!

Submitted(+1)

Yep! And if you're trying to make more "normal" platformers in the future, I'd suggest to look for some game feel tricks like input buffering, coyote time, and variable jump height. These are obviously not very relevant to this kind of game but from my experience with making platformers these are worth giving a try!

Hello there, coming from the BYTESIZED GAMES livestream and saw that your game is up next and decided to try it out :) 
I really enjoy the design of your game page. Looks really cool. 
The game REALLY is an unfair platformer :D I had to try very often to even get past the normal jumps at the beginning. Would be nice to have an easier mode with a little bit less wide hitboxes for noobs like me :D The inverted controls afterwards gave me the rest :D 
It is a nice challenge! :) 

Developer

thanks for playing! i was meant to make the collision a little smaller but its unfair so maybe i couldve just made the spikes not tight for player to dodge.. besides that heres a tip or help: after beating the first spike part and going to the second part where theres a seashell. you dont need to grab the one on top. just collect the bottom since it refuses the fake floor pull and makes it a real floor! hope this helps.

Submitted(+1)

really like that game, very hard! good job!

Developer

thanks for playing the game!! It’s a rage platformer so hope you had fun with the trolling mechanics >:) and if you found any issues. Let me know so that I could fix after the end of the jam!

Submitted(+1)

Those dialogues are hilarious! and I love the concept and gameplay! If i had any suggestions it would be to make the hit box a little more obvious! I was struggling with the spikes! But I am also really bad at platformers so take that with a grain of salt lol!

Developer

Thanks for playing the game! Yeah I would fix the hit box in terms of struggling!!

Submitted(+1)

I really like the game. It was really difficult.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! its a rage platformer so i kinda made it difficult :(

Developer
