The title screen is beautiful, the moon reflection backdrop is seriously gorgeous, and the pixel art in general looks great.
The main character's walk animation cracked me up too, it's super well done. I also liked how each place had its own weird rule/mechanic, and they didn't overstay their welcome. Kept it feeling fresh the whole way through.
And the boss fight was a nice payoff tying the different elements together. Also, the ending absolutely destroyed me emotionally. Losing the forbidden taco like that, truly a lesson in grief :'( XD. Fun game and great jam entry.
Putting a story at the start was a nice touch. The gameplay is deceptively hard. It seems simple but getting the timing right while avoiding enemies is a challenge! Nice way to show off a simple mechanic.
Hi
This was so much fun.
I liked how all the levels came together in the end.
I think the game could have benefited from a couple of extra sound effects.
Having said that, it is very strong.
And I like grim endings.
Thank you.
I loved the theme ,its so fun
Great work, that is a really thought out and nicely implemented game!
loved the concept and visuals !
that was quite fun! cute story, neat graphics, variety in the levels.
good job :)
Thats a awesome game, one of the best I played this jam!
Smooth controls, awesome little story, every level has a different mechanic, A FUCKING BOSS FIGHT THAT COMBINES ALL MECHANICS awesome!
The art is very well done and the music is good.
The only two minor things that I would recommend to change is:
Awesome entry! Really fun!
Thank you, I am happy you liked the game, I will keep those listed issues in mind
Love the art style!
I would like to try that taco, the story is so fun. I liked the visuals and the walk animation was great! I got stuck in one point as it was so hard for me haha
was it difficult because of the enemies or because of the world mechanics?
It is very difficult, but i enjoyed it. It fits the theme very well!!
Nice and fun, I liked that the level mechanics complemented each other in the boss
Fun story and nice graphics, that's a great game !
Really nice game, I love the aesthetics! Well done!
Idk why you said this werent a good game bc it actually quite interesting and well done! The story abt taco is fun hah >^< I really enjoyed the graphics and music!
Really nice music and backgrounds! Surprisingly more difficult than I thought.
I like the goofy run animation :) The gravity shifting level was my favorite. It's probably just my skill issue but I always died on the jumps.
Great implementation of the theme into gameplay! I love how the three levels combined in the boss battle. Shame about that taco :( true tragedy. pixel art is gorgeous tho
Edit: Oh! and the "I'm Josh the slime, but you can call me Josh" made me laugh so hard XD
What I wouldn't do for a taco... First time I died, my screen turned permanently red, and I think a little warning about the gravity changes would have prevented many of the other deaths ha. Otherwise the game felt pretty polished and responsive.
Slimy Josh... the taco made him tough.
Cool vibes! Would be nice to have some warning before the gravity shifts.
Good work!
