I love the source and premise. The controls felt stiff and the sprites feel too tall.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! When you say too tall, do you mean all the sprites or the ones you jump over?

Submitted

The ones you jump over. The actors. I rhink they could be more dynamic looking. Right now they look and move like chess pieces, if that makes sense?

Developer (1 edit)

yes! that does make sense. thanks for the advice. i’ll rework them a bit to make them move a bit more naturally!

Developer

My son woke up and I failed to test my last change, which unfortunately broke it… If you want to play this, please use “jam_corrected”

First gameboy game… Had a lot of fun learning how it works. If anyone tries it, let me know what you think/if you have any critique
