How does your game fit the theme?
The game is about getting your day started. The idea came from my personal experience of not getting up until the VERY last moment when I could still catch my bus (and/or tram) to school. And then having to decide what I actually have time to do at home before absolutely definitely needing to leave.

I don't think I'm getting there in time chief LMAO.
Jokes aside, it is really fun! Love how you can detour and look around all you want for extra points, freedom always feels nice.
Also the head moving based on the direction you're pressing I love that little goof
ballsquare, neat stuff!This is a nice little platformer game with a nifty gimmick to boot. I like the controls, the art style, I like the overall design of the game. The prior comment I agree with most their points (Khaled's comment if there's another one that gets posted in between this one and that), but I think the game needs to be expanded upon more for the camera/resolution size to be increased since it is a shorter experience thus far. But beyond that, my only real feedback is to see more of the game, if you do choose to continue fleshing out the game. That and maybe a few rounded-edge sprites for the platforms in the sky and a bus sprite. But otherwise, very solid for a first game jam submission, I hope you'll keep up the good work to come
Decent side scroller platformer the art is nice and the menu and intro but i have some suggestions for you if you want to improve the game first the camera is too small in my opinion probably a 480*270 camera would be better it all depends on your sprites canvas size also i would suggest you adding coyote time and jump buffer it would make the game better and make the controls even more tight and responsive also if you made the game larger and has more content in it would make it better too, but awesome start for a new game dev well done, if you have time you can play my game too.
A solid little side scroller. Was reminiscent of the old Commander Keen games. A little slidy for my taste, but good controls otherwise.
Lmao my game character is also a square, your game is completely different, I had fun tho. Congrats
Go check out mine as well if you have the time, hope you like it
Nice game, i liked it, it just needs some sounds and music to make it feel better
Great concept! Pulling all of that together on your own isn't easy! (Recently found out lol)
I think it's pretty cool trying to get as fast as possible in the bus while picking up points.
Really liked the time management made exploring going different routes cool
Fun game! I like the concept of players trying to do as much as possible in a time crunch. Gives me inspiration for possible game mechanics for my future games!
I really like the idea, but I think if the grapics where a better and if there was sound that that would really make the game feel and look better. and maybe add more mecanics like a dash or something. My best score was 1072, it's a very fun game
