It was really fun! Initially I didn't know that the shots combine and explode, I thought they just randomly explode. So I had lots of fun shooting a ton and exploding everything around me XD. But then after seeing some Dragoons combine and slowly change in order, I figured that out.

I did still get stuck on the whole zigzag map, where I had to cross left and right to get to the exit. I still coudn't make it in 45 seconds.

But it was really fun! I loved pseudo-rocket jumping in mid-air! The physics was well implemented!

Developer

Thank you for all your comments, we really appreciate the feedback! We are working on fixing the bugs and we have made the first update: https://stoinket.itch.io/tomatoandegg/devlog/1013121/update-1-2025-08-19

I really wanted to give this the benefit of the doubt after reading all the comments, but I wasn't able to understand what was happening. I can't tell if it's bugs or if it was intended behavior. It felt like I was being railroaded through scenes, yet I was expected to do stuff, but I wasn't sure what to do? Hopefully the bugs get worked out and more instructions on what to do and what is expected of a player to do becomes clearer in the future! 

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! We will look into adding more instructions in the game itself so it is clearer to the player. Hopefully the increased time limit on the levels helps with level completion as well.

wasn't able to figure this one out unfortunately, but i think it was mostly bugs getting in the way. The tomato was pretty funny though

Developer

Thanks for trying it out! We are working to fix the bugs, but I am glad you liked the tomato! It was from the Sketchfab models they gave out with some addons we created for the clown outfit and the crown.

Unfortunately I have no idea what's going on since the game just changes screens by itself, often without me being able to do anything on that screen (or even me appearing on the screen) before it changes. I'm also not clear on what the goal is - to reach the flag? This doesn't seem possible on most levels.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! The goal is to reach the flag and hopefully the increased amount of time and the using the eggs to boost your jumps will allow you to reach the flags on the levels.

I have no clue what's happening. Why after I start a level my character doesn't exist and I have to wait for like 10 seconds until it appears? Why do dragoons and cars suddenly appear on a level. Why why do levels suddenly change (again you don't see your character for a while) while some dragoons explode? Truly, a definition of a fever dream.

Well, at the very least rocket jumping is fun when i actually get to play for these couple of seconds.

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback! We have fixed the spawning issue and added a timer to the levels so hopefully it is more clear that the levels are timed.

Too buggy, I couldn’t get a satisfying gameplay experience:

  • The starting scene has canvas issues, which looks a bit confusing.
  • There’s no explanation on how to play. I had to look for information on the developer’s page.
  • Choosing ‘Join room’ is not recommended - it just force-closes the game.
  • What happens in the game feels extremely chaotic: it randomly throws you from scene to scene without letting you actually do anything. The game literally doesn’t let you play it!

If possible, please review my project, I would be grateful for an honest review. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your feedback! We will look into fixing the canvas issue and potentially adding the tutorial into the game so it can be more accessible. We will also look to add an exit button to the `Join Room` page so that users are not stuck there.

We will also take a look at your project and review it, thank you!
