As a platformer I struggled with this one a bit - the time limits are extremely tight and the controls aren’t responsive enough to let you recover from individual mistakes.
I absolutely loved your approach to the death cutscenes, really novel and definitely worked well!
Cool game! I feel like have more time to complete the levels would be nice, and maybe multiple "medals" type of score, with it being so tight, the last level feels a bit long since if you miss the mark by like 1 second, you have to redo everything anyway. But I understand why it's like that, fits the theme better. Art is nice an the cutscenes are a nice touch! Overall a great entry, good work!
Interesting game! I really like that bunny sprite and cutscene and funny voice acting at the start of the game.
But jumping is a little but glitchy, sometimes game doesn't register that player jumped.
All in all, good and funny little game
I found the death animation very funny, hahaha
Interesting game! The background music was catchy and the video cutscenes were unique. Nice work!
nice game! love the voice acting and the small clips!
The animations during the level transitions and death sequences are fantastic.
Really charming style throughout.
Great game! We love the cutscenes/animations!
Cute spritework! My favorite part is the ketchup clip when you fall into spikes. :D Good shit!
From the technical perspective, I'd recommend looking into jump queueing as that'd make the platforming smoother. If you press a jump button right before you hit the ground, it feels better if the jump connects like you've properly waited to hit the ground. It's not a big change, but it would make a big difference in the second level.
Good work!
Voice acting, let's go! I loved the into and the transition scenes especially! The purple spiral kindof reminded me of Nightmare Ned! Great work!
Really nice art.
I like the videos between the levels or when you die brings a lot of charm.
And i cant get the song out of my head its too good.
Visuals were really nice and it had voice acting. Dying was the best part lol Good game!
Man the visuals here are great! Loved how the theme was integrated so deeply into gameplay! Nice work!
Nice Game! I love the intro cutscenes and the death cutscenes too! Really great job
I loved the cutscenes :D Great work!
Very cool death cutscene animations. Reminds me of bowling alley animations.
Controls are too floaty, timer is too punishing, music is a BANGER. There are some great things to learn from other platformers, I'd recommend you give it a bit of a research. But good job!
Hahaha I laughed when I saw the ketchup :-) That was fun!
Interesting platformer. The cutscenes took me off guard, but overral were pretty well done and gave the game a unique atmosphere.
Keep up the good work!
Great game! I like the graphics and music fits well too. The intro is great too :)
