Trying to beat this almost took away my sanity.

Solid game in the "getting over it" genre, with clever use of the theme to make some of the navigation easier. VOD here, thanks for submitting to the stream!

Submitted

physics is well done. Nice game :)

Submitted

Reminds me of the scratch version of getting over it. I like the narrative!

Submitted

Super funny concept! Would've loved to play a little more but I fell through D:

Submitted

Very interesting game; got stuck cause I couldn't fire the gun for some reason. Love the concept, theme, and idea!

Submitted

Looks cute, and a fun interpretation of the theme! And of Sisyphus :)

Controls were a bit too difficult, and I wish I had more ammo :D

Submitted

The game is amazing and fun but very difficult. Also is this a scratch game cuz if so its amazing how well the physics work but im not sure that its a scratch game since when i lunch it it says godot .

Developer

the story is about being stuck in an abandoned scratch project but the actual game was made in godot. i wouldn't be able to do anything close to this level in scratch lol, im not griffpatch

Fellow Scratch game :)

The physics is really well done, and it's a good twist on Getting Over It.

Interesting, got a cat, fun to stand on the pile of your own corpses to reach higher. I would have liked some more sound design in there and possibly a general idea of where to go ( I barely left the spawn so maybe that's more clear when you get farther but I suck ). Overall cool game!

i def agree. i didn't leave any time for qa and more instructions for the player would've really helped players understand more, especially if they were in game. i

Nailed the Bennett Foddy humour and trigger points! Wish I could get farther through the game but I suck at these games haha

As someone who programmed their GMTK entry in Scratch, this game made me laugh out loud as soon as I started it. Hilarious theme and I loved the graveyard of bad scratch code-- and with shades of Getting Over It, this game was too funny.

Submitted

This was a really clever way to achieve something Bennett Foddy-like, enjoyed this one :)

Submitted

This is such a funny and creative game. It's a super fun mashup of a few genres and incorporates this year's theme really well. If the controls were explained a little better in-game and the shotgun charge-up was a little faster, it would be perfect. Great job!

Developer

thanks man

I too would be sad if i lost my legs and had to move around with a shotgun. I believe in you scratch cat!

Very Unique, But I wasn't able to play it well.

Submitted

Cool and Unique twist on the Foddian genre 👍
