This is insanely impressive, it feels like playing an emulated real SNES game rather than a game jam project.

thank you!!! i LOVED yours btw!! its definitely one of the most original and most memorable entries and it accurately captures my feeling about twitter

Submitted

wow, this is awesome.... feels incredibly polished

I got pretty far but fell off the map here and wasn't able to respawn

nice job though!

That was fun! Great characters and game mechanics. Really enjoyed the puzzles too and I don't normally play platformers :D The golden platforms really made it challenging but I surprisingly got through level 3 only to meet the invisible floor in level 4 🥲 Great game nonetheless! 

Submitted

Wonderful artwork!  I really enjoyed navigating through the sand.

Submitted

Super solid platformer! The digging mechanic was a fun twist, and the polish really stood out. Great visuals and level design!!

Submitted

Fantastic amount of polish to this and a great evolution of mechanics as you progress.

Really strong work, well done all.

Submitted

Awesome game, the characters and animations are fantastic, was a lot of fun to play!

Submitted

Such a great game! The art, music and gameplay are very good, and I had so much fun trying to beat it. I spent a whole hour playing, without realizing I was stuck :P. Still an amazing experience, I will 100% play it once the bug is fixed, wish all the best!

Damn, this is crazy polished, hard to believe it was made in such a short time.

Loved the drawings during the intro, very nice art style overall.
Whoever designed the levels is very good, there's a ton of smart uses of the mechanics. Plus the game really clicked once you added a second material for the digging, I hope you add more in the future!

Amazing project.

I think it'd be nice if you could go directly from one material to another, eg. in this place :


If there was some dirt instead of the 2 "black squares" you could dig up directly into the sand while staying burrowed. Wouldn't change anything here but could be interesting for other puzzles.

(Also as you can see there's a bug where you duplicate the sprite if you dig really fast... but I really enjoyed that you could go super fast by pressing the button fast :P)

I managed to get surprisingly far into the area with invisible platforms with guesswork, but finally got stuck here:

Really nice platformer game here, I like the art and overall aesthetic. I also liked the difficulty, it kept it fun and exciting.

Submitted

This was cute. It was decently challenging, but not too bad.

Submitted

This is a really impressive game considering how quickly it was made. The art is really fun, the levels are really thought out, and I even enjoyed the unfinished invisible section. I was super tough, probably not entirely intentionally, but it was a fun challenge to get through (until progression became impossible).

Submitted

Really well done. Great art. But I feel like it doesn't really fit the theme.

Submitted

Sound effects were super nostalgic for me. Enjoyed the character art and the platforming was simple even I could do it :). Sadly I hit a crash midway after trying out the digging mechanic. I had fun jumping around and the level design was intuitive.

Submitted

Great retro platformer, i had a lot of fun!. the game was very well polished and had a ton of content and creative mechanics. my brain and fingers were working overtime trying to communicate with each other. Unfortunately, I had to end my run when I got stuck on the map though, I couldn't find a way back out(see screenshot). Overall, very good game.

Submitted

This is a solid platformer. The controls feel really good, and I like the digging mechanic. Nicely done!
