How does your game represent "Slick"?
With some slick moves and a lot of pizza, this game is as slick as a greasy fast food restaurant.

There's an absurd amount of all-round good stuff here, but it looks like a lot of that has already been said. I agree with all of it, it's really good!
If I am to give something for the team to work on, it'd be the controls, I found the sudden stopping of the skateboard unintended, and sometimes I fell through the railing without meaning to. There's definitely some parts of levels that feel slick as hell and some that feel clunky - I'd say it doesn't matter too much whether it's too easy, as long as the players feeling slick n good, that's enough. I also had a large lag spike when the bomb exploded for the first time (I played on web). Sometimes as well when you're carrying something it seems to clip into you which was hard to tell if intentional or not
Again, incredible level of polish for a gamejam, it would handily beat paid titles that exist on steam already
The issues you mentioned (aside from the bomb) are caused by playing with the joystick instead of the d-pad... We forgot to set joystick input to be digital rather than analog, so if the game registers an input between 0 and 1, it freaks out on rails/while spinning. Nobody noticed during testing because we all played on either keyboard, or with the d-pad. :/
Forgot most people play platformers with joystick (Whoopsie!!!)
I second (or third I guess) the joystick. I'd also like to mention though for lag, you're right about the particles loading for the first time causing frame drops. I personally noticed more of this on Firefox and less on Chrome, so if you are on Firefox, that might be a band-aid fix. Thank you for the feedback regardless though !
super high quality and very fun. Shame about the joystick bug but is very fun to play on SNES controller.
had to stop playing and get back to work. really fun game I feel like this would be super fun on the steam deck. I love how well the game design is with adding new move sets gradually and then you’re just zipping around and dunkin
This is a very impressive offering! Amazing graphics, awesome music, smooth gameplay... amazing! A perfect score from me
Crazy good game. There is so much depth to this. From the screenshots I thought this would be a somewhat simple game but the skill ceiling on this is insane.
Fantastic work. I could see this one win.
This is SUCH an amazing game jam game oh my gosh! That is a full 5 stars from me
Goes without saying that this is super polished. Very cool moveset, although it does take some getting used to since some of the controls and interactions are a bit unconventional. I got hard stuck on level 5, managed to get past the 4 spiky guys at the beginning once, failed the wall jump and couldn’t get back.
this game is so slick, and i am so bad, always got F but i want to spend more time to get better. the level of polish is insane for the jam. i can see this one getting a lot of attention!
A game about slickness that features pizzas AND aliens?? Sound outlandish, but only an awesome out-of-the-box thinking game designer can make it work. And that too with tremendous amount of polish, for a limited time game jam!! Keep up three awesome work. Is like to play the full version of this game someday 😇
Do make sure to play and rate our game as well (it might take a minute for it to load)
Okay, I went back to it to find some notes. There isn't anything obvious that needs improving, but I will break the illusion of perfection if I must. The grinding can bring the movement to a halt when using a controllers joystick. Maybe a rounding error of a previous input? Similarily, I was able to go straight down holding the ufo only when pressing down on the joystick. I couldn't find a way to do that with keyboard or the D-pad. But yeah, very minor stuff. Cheers!
