I liked the visuals. Other than that I wish jump was not Up arrow but it is just me. Good entry.
Supercool visuals, had a good laugh even though i suck at games like this :D (got like 3 coins max T-T)
I loved the visuals! also the initial cutscene was pretty funny haha. I'd love to play a controller supported version someday :')
i made 26 smackaroonies, very fun pogo
I love your interpretation of the theme. With a great art style as well!
A very appealing hack and slash game, it was tough at first until I got the hang of that sword pogo stick then it got really fun! I
Gorgeous game! Excellent use of color and all the sprites are delightful. Would absolutely adore a version that supports gamepad so definitley yell if that's ever an option! Love all the dialogue from the grim reaper too. I too would love a pizza party in lieu of health care LOL.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! There actually should be game pad functionality already, I just didn't explain that anywhere lol. Any controller should work but on a playstation controller "X" is jump and square is attack. You'll just need a mouse for the menu buttons.
ooh gotcha! Will definitely give that another shot then!
really nice art!
Pressure! Nice take on the them and really fun. I suck at my job.
What a great game id love it if you would check my game out as well!!!
I had so much fun!! I like the character designs a lot and the art is sooo crispy :D
Cuuuute art style, love it!
Very cool game I like the game mechanics
This was cool, I loved the art!
The art is a real stand out, very nice choice of colour palette. the controls were a little unintuitive at first but once they clicked the jump/pogo/bounce felt smooth and satisfying. solid experience!
Dude! The pixel art on this is so crisp, definitely a high rating for visuals! 😄
But the controls though… I can’t quite put my finger on it. It feels like I’m fighting against them every time I try to jump on top of an enemy.
maybe because I played ducktales a lot before. Am not use to your control yet. hahaha sorry
I really loved the art and the aesthetic of this! The music was also really impressive and catchy. I'm terrible at platformer type games haha but I thought this functioned really well and is really, really polished for such a short time period. Really great work!
Fantastic presentation, I really love all the art and sound design and music in this one. The controls took me a moment to get used to, in particular the pogo, but once I had them down I was zooming past. Only thing I wish for is some kind of reward for being way ahead, I often found myself sitting on the right edge of the screen and waiting for new obstacles once I got good enough :) Really well done!
Fun game! Well made. Took me a minute to get a hang of the controls but then I was pogo-ing non-stop. Love the presentation and vibes
This is a fun and creative take on the theme! The graphics and music are super charming. It took a while to getting used to attacking on spacebar, most other games in the jam reserve the spacebar for jumping, but once I got my brain rewired it was super fluid and fun!
