nicely implemented. The biboo collision maybe more generous than I thought.

Developer(+1)

Yeah I ultimately decided to play it a bit safe with biboo's hitbox instead of making it more punishing. Thanks for playing the game! :D

Submitted

Cute, quick, and fun! It was nice seeing the progress you posted on the discord during the jam and then finally playing your finished version. The highest score I managed to get was 11 😤 I enjoyed playing! Good stuff!

Developer

Thank you for playing :D

Jam Judge

Short and little fun game!

Cute art and animations.

Controls are nice and responsive and the game loop is fun.

Here's my best score (after 2 tries lol)


Good job!

Developer

Impressive getting an S on the second try, glad you enjoyed it :D

Submitted

Fun little idea!

Love Biboo's sprite, really embodies her frantic panicking.


If I had to log a complaint, I think the timer counting down instead of up would help  - I looked and saw 20 when the game was over and thought the game had bugged, until restarted and caught the timer counting up from the start


Nice simple gameplay loop, would be awesome to see you come back and expand it with more items, maps, obstacles, and different movement patterns for Biboo. Good work!

I'll certainly keep this mind for the future, appreciate the feedback and thanks for playing! :D

I need more. Like, more levels, more gift types, more Pebbles, heck, more Biboo.  The meta is so simple yet I was hooked.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm happy to know you liked it so much, will definitely consider adding more stuff to this game if/when I find time in the future :D

Compact and flawless in its simplicity, responsive controls and good hitboxes, makes it very very easy to get baited into score hunting.

Adorable art and guaranteed 5 on Innovation for working under PICO limits, you madman.

Developer

This was my first Pico-8 game so I'm happy to hear this, thank you for playing! :D

Submitted

The game page says X to pick up jifts, but the button seems to be Z/C instead.

The game itself is good, though a game that I can S rank in 2 minutes of playing isn't going to leave much impression.

Developer

I can't believe I didn't catch the controls thing earlier, that's on me. Appreciate the feedback, thanks for playing! :D

Submitted

Cute art but i couldnt understand the game how to play it.

Developer(+1)

Sorry to hear that, I'll definitely try to make the rules and controls easier to understand in the future. Glad you liked the art :D

Submitted

Cute art and it's a fun challenge! made me want to keep trying for a high score

Developer

That's exactly what I was hoping for with the ranking system, glad you liked it! :D

Submitted

Good and simple. Art is nice. But Biboo should trip.

Developer

Duly noted. Thanks for playing :D

Submitted

I love the Art and Animations. They are so cute and capture the Image i have of Biboo and the Pebbles really well. The Game itself is easy (to understand) and fun

Developer

Glad you liked the art! I'm happy the vibe I was going for came through, so it means a lot to me. Thanks for playing :D

Submitted

Biboo and the pebbles were really cute. It would be great if the game kept track of the highest score.

Developer

Appreciate the feedback, thank you for playing! :D

Submitted

grinded so hard for this, a 15 score is impossible unless crazy RNG. My hand hurts now, ouch!


Developer (1 edit)

That's genuinely impressive lmfao highest I got when testing it myself was 13, congratulations and thanks for playing :D

Submitted

Quick and fun!  The art is cute and I love the Christmas theme!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you liked it :D

Submitted

Holy cow I got an S.

Super clean and simple!  Even though I only played for a few minutes, I really enjoyed this jame.  Nice work :>

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it! :D
