I loved the 1-bit art style — I’m a big fan of games like this! Super fun idea, and I liked how the checkpoints make you think carefully about your choices. The music was nice too, though it seemed to stop and never start again haha. There was also a moment where I fell out of the map forever and lost all progress haha, but overall it’s a really interesting game with a great use of the theme. Congrats!
If you have a moment, I’d love if you could check out mine too! Play it here: https://kaijota.itch.io/graverun
Watch the gameplay on YouTube:
Thank you. I also love good game in this style too.
Sorry about the music and the map.
Also, sorry I missed your game before voting period. Although, I will say that your gameplay is quite interesting, and the CRT effect really reminds me of Animal Well.
Good job and glad you enjoyed my game. :)
Super cute! I unfortunately didn't understand that checkpoints were a choice (I thought it was either gems or lives but aways a checkpoint) so I made things VERY tedious for myself until I accidentally figured it out. But otherwise I'd say everything here worked exactly as intended. Very charming once you don't play like an idiot :P
Thank you.
I suppose I should've explained the checkpoint system better. Sorry about that.
Regardless, glad you stopped by. :)
Nicely done. that was fun
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Was fun. Nice mechanics. Having to go all the way back to the start after each explosion was a bit annoying. Maybe I was doing something wrong. Good job.
Thank you.
As for respawning back to the start, it's all about balancing between choosing checkpoints, lives, and gems at the item boxes.
Admittedly, perhaps I should have one or two "mandatory" checkpoints.
Anyway, glad you stopped by. :)
I like the art style you chose and Bobby's design.
Thank you.
Glad you stopped by. :)
I softlocked the game by exploding at the checkpoint above the area with two flames going in opposite directions. I liked where the idea was going, disappointed that I got stuck!
Huh. Interesting.
Sorry about the oversight.
Thanks for the feedback. :)
I love the fact that you have to make a decision between a checkpoint and a life, it really makes you think strategically so you don't have to backtrack all the level. Good job!
Thank you.
Glad you stopped by. :)
Nice art style and music. I especially like the balance between strategy and skill ^-^
Thank you.
Glad you stopped by. :)
Well made little game, music stop mid way for me i don't know if this is a known bug, but overall pretty good, i like it.
Thank you.
I'm not sure about the music either. It worked on my end, but I'll look into it.
Glad you stopped by. :)
I love the Kerby like bomb sprite! He was so cute I almost felt bad blowing him up.

Thanks.
I was originally gonna go with a different look, but I couldn't make it look right, so I went with this. Sorry about that.
Regardless, glad you dropped by. :)
love this little bomb dude and his jumps
Thank you.
I also really enjoyed your little robot and his grapple hook.
Glad you stopped by. :)
Tight and nice controls! Cool art and I liked the use of choosing between lives, checkpoint and gem! Very nice!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
cool idea. I love it
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
neat game!
Thank you. Glad you stopped by. :)
Art style is simple but clean, game play matches theme well and is overall pretty fun. The movement is a bit slow for my ADHD brain but honestly if this game was on sale on a platform like steam I would spend money on it
Thank you. I 'm quite flattered.
I'll keep your thoughts about the movement in mind.
Regardless, glad you stopped by. :)
Great work! I love the art style and the game's concept. Excited to see what's next :)
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
I had fun playing this! Good job!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Very nice concept and implemented well. I like the choice between checkpoints and lives. Kinda wish I had a checkpoint to stop my gambling addiction. Oh well!
Thank you. Glad you stopped by. :)
And, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Good gameplay and fun concept. But, the music don't replay, and I entered a room and got imprisoned outside the rooms, so needed to use restart and lost all the progress.
Odd. The music worked when I was playing. Guess I overlooked a few things.
Thanks for playing and the feedback. I'll keep your words in mind. :)
Fun game! I did feel as though I almost had to take every single roll as a checkpoint though, as the walk back was more annoying than dying.
Thank you.
And, yes. I do agree the checkpoint system could be better fleshed out.
Still, thanks for playing and the feedback. :)
You're welcome! The art was also really good, even with the limited colors!
