Nice game! I had a bit of trouble getting over the first obstacle since I didn't realize I had to throw the arm to knock them down. I found the enemies a bit difficult to get past, and they were really fast. I like the floating mechanic and the animated cover art!

How does the game fit the theme?
There are lots of strange scenery and strange enemies. You are an axolotl which is also strange.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I used a sound and an animation system I made in a previous jam. The footstep sounds are from an asset pack.

Great thumbnail and interesting concepts.
Nice music and cool universe.
Enemy speed might be a bit high and could affect immersion.
Solid entry!
Feel free to try our game as well.

Sight UnseenFun game! The art was really really good. I was having a lot of trouble with the rats though, since they damage you while running towards food it got very repetitive. With a little bit of polish and expansion I think this could be absolutely amazing.

Hitchhiker's Guide to HeroismI never expected I would like a mechanic where you throw pieces of your body at things hahaha :) I love the concept! And great artwork too!

PawerPointBeautiful main menu art! I love Axy’s character, it’s distinct and cute. I appreciate the contrast between his personality and what’s happening outside. Great assets and backgrounds. That throwing arm mechanic is definitely strange haha
A bug I found is that in the beginning you can run off the screen on the left and cannot jump back on the platform or restart. I had to reload the game.
Overall, great job on the entry! :D

Alien-51I like the art in this game! but I got soft locked by walking off the screen to the left at the start, with a bit more polish, this would be really great! Keep it up!

Cosmic ColoniserThe characters and background arts are very cute! Thanks to a lot of left hands, I was able to reach the goal safely! Nice work:)
