Nice silly little game, enjoyed bouncing on the sheep's head. It need something else maybe different enemy or power ups, but still really good. Sadly I could not beat the ending. here's my playthrough of the game it starts at 3:58:20. Great Job!

hey thanks for playing the game and the feedback ^^
I watched your playthrough, noticed you missed the first shop that's on the left side of the initial starting point and a much needed atk upgrade for last challenge. my bad for not giving a direction hint :')

I see no wonder why it felt hard. Nice game though :D

The idea of the mechanics with the lights and the jump over the enemies is juicy. It's such a entertaining game! Good work!

Oh hell yeah.

Such a silly and fun time leaping from head to head with the chugging guitar cheering me on. It gave me the vibe of a classic flash game I might've played to avoid my educational responsibilities

As for critique, I wish the camera was more focused on the ground for platforming, and maybe that there was some sort of fountain indicator or a map to help me keep my bearings in the world.

Anyway I had a great time. Nice work everyone!

A good, solid, old-fashioned platformer with some banger music! Great use of the assets as well.

Just a few minor notes for constructive criticism: when the player jumps and the camera follows, you can’t see the floor anymore, so it’s hard to know where you’re going to land. Also, maybe add a little bounce after landing on an enemy to really get a cool pogo effect going.

But overall, it’s a really fun and cool game, and again, the music — chef’s kiss!

The music drowns everything else out. It's also weird that the enemies appear to have some variation in how high they can jump while you are static. I felt like I didn't have anything to do against enemies jumping unexpectedly high, though maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Congrats on coordinating a team and matching the theme! This was a hard theme and I'm hard to impress with 2d platformers, but this was pretty fun. I like that the upgrades aren't introduced right away, giving me some time to get familiar with the controls before adding freedom with health and speed. I was just starting to wonder what's stopping me from just skipping the enemy encounters, so having a place to use points is also good.

hello thanks for taking your time and giving feedback.
yes the music turns out to be too loud, I tried to implement a music slider but couldn't make it in time :(
also the enemies jumping too high, yeah its just random float variables when player is in the range XD. I couldn't polish it much since I dont have much knowledge about game programming as of right now :'(.
I'm glad you liked it despite all the obvious flaws there's. again thanks for playing the game and the kind words

Okay, this is a cool take on a classic platforming mechanic. Even if its good ol' somping enemies, the combo and bounce stuff really gives it a fresh twist!

Excellent choice of character sprites, but I might be biased 😅

Had a good time with it. Had to get used to keeping momentum when bouncing on things.

fun game , but i didn't understand what to do  , you might consider adding a tutorial at the start and a music slider with  a full screen button
