Great visuals and nice controls, the idea is interesting, but one particular jump requires a very large number of repetitions. Please rate our game

Developer

Hey there, thanks for playing!
Yeah, difficulty should definitely be tweaked in the future.
I played your game, and ratted also! :)

This is some Groundhog Day level insanity right here. I enjoy the narrator a lot, and may challenge myself to the whole thing at some point in the future. I can just tell it's going to take a while. But this is enjoyable and cute, with just a dash of ragegame included. Well done!

Thank you so much for playing!

I do recommend that you don't complete the game in it's current form, as it's far too repetitive and unfinished at the moment.
(The curse of making it for a game-jam)
If you  enjoyed it enough however, consider following my profile here on itch.io, since I do plan on adding new features and QOL updates (such as saving your game, more varied platforming, etc...) in the near future!

Thanks again for playing, and have an amazing rest of your day! :D

I unlock all 6 cosmetics!!!!! Very fun approach to the theme, creative, I might be biased but I'm a sucker for a well made pixel art game, good job!!!


Ps. If u got time check out my game!!!

Developer

Developer

Thank you for playing!
I'm glad you enjoyed my random rambling! :)

I couldn't Play the game... But it looks cool! could you check out my game too?

Developer

Thanks for commenting!
Was there a technical issue, or do you simply not have time to play?
Just asking so I can fix the technical issue in the future, if it's that.

Really cute, it felt like I was playing it with a friend watching me play (because of the lil messages!)

Developer

Thanks for playing! :)
I'm glad you found the messages to be enjoyable!

Pretty well executed, although mouse control would have been nice to have.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for playing! :)
What do you mean exactly by mouse control? like to move the camera, the character, or for what purpose exactly? 
I'd just like to know how I can improve it in the future! :)

Instead of using the keyboard to turn the character, have an option to use the mouse to aim.

Clearly had passion and soul put into it. Art. Stanley parable-like very interesting approach to the theme that I've not yet seen in this jam. Very very cool! Also liked the TBOI reference 😀

I'm glad you found the game to be  worth your time! I feel honored, to be put in the same sentence as The Stanley Parable! xd

Yes, games like 'The Stanley Parable' and 'The beginner's guide' were a huge inspiration for the project, along with the works of Edmund McMillen, though that's far less visible, if at all. It is planned to update the game in a couple of weeks(adding new content and making the game more engaging to play).

Thank you once again for playing, and have a nice day! :D

Nice little game, I appretiated the dialogue, would be cool if the room varied as you play, either randomising each time between a few different platforming puzzles or the platforming evolving over time as you play. Controls felt nice.



Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and reviewing, that's really kind of you!

It was originally planned to have different platforming sections, but thanks to time constraint I had to leave it out.
It was originally supposed to have 9 different ribbons, and at least 9 outfits as well,  but I had to cut it down to 4 ribbons and 6 outfits.
I do want to update the game however, and upload it separately with more content and with more engaging gameplay!
Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll be able to do so!

Thank you again for playing, and have a nice day!  :D
