How does the game fit the theme?
The game takes place in a candy society, an unusual setting where the player, enemies, and bosses are all sugar-themed characters. The entire world is built around this idea, so every encounter fits the theme. We wanted to contrast something sweet and colorful with fast, challenging combat. It’s cute on the surface, but the fights are no joke.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Most of the music was composed by our team’s composer. Due to time constraints, a small portion of the background music was sourced externally. Most sound effects (combat hits, UI sounds, etc.) were also sourced externally and lightly edited in Audacity. All gameplay code, mechanics, sprites, animations, and boss systems were created from scratch and are designed to be reusable.

Very cute little platformer. I love the art especially the special attack looks so cool :)
The movement feels a little bit stiff, I don't can pin down what it is, maybe the gravity is to low or the movement speed.
Very cool work :)
Great UI and Art Direction!
I really liked the art and audio and entire feel of the game! Well done! My only feedback is in the tutorial I think it would be good to show the attack with Z before or when attacking gets introduced and not afterwards.
Otherwise really well done!
Nice audio with cute art, the animation and the bouncy puddings are also really good. Love it!
Very cute art and a fun game!
The shear amount of art done for this game!?? I'am absolutly stunned and amazed, the gameplay is just as fun as the world buildingg. Ka & Mi from nowhere cuisine found it the most kwai game of the jam ~!
What a great little game! The art has so much character and soul.
Jawbreaker with little jaw breaker shoes is my favorite.
Very coolio! Loved the aesthetics and overall cool concepts added for such a simple premise! You should check out our game as well!
Such a cute game! these girl-pop type aesthetics always deliver 10x enjoyment even on classic gameplay styles :)
Really cool characters and animations! Tons of personality! You can really tell how much care went into it.
The controls feel a bit stiff though, but maybe it's just me being bad at platformers :)
This was a fun game, liked the art a lot, plus the death screen was fun to look at. Saw it a lot cuz Im only good at platformers on controller
Love the visual, Great, you have a very talented animator.
The art style is stunning, and the candy theme is interesting!
Super cute art style! The gameplay works, kinda reminds me of Celeste for some reason Good job there!
OMG THE ART STYLE. Loved the game, it feels so good and fun to play:D It's very well polished and impressive to see this quality for a game jam game. Good job!!
Thank you and nice based Mysim pfp :D
Super charming game ;) Enjoyed smashing stuff, especially with the jump attack
Nice sounds, visuals and animations. The candy theme was also interesting. GG
I really enjoyed this. Very fun and I like that you had a tutorial at the beginning. So cute!
I loved this game, the color palette is exactly the opposite from mine hahaha
Very pink very cute but I love the implied violence in the dialogues, the gameplay feels very polished and the player feedback is absolutely on point.
Very cute art. The ability to customize controls is super-useful, thanks. The gameplay looks quite interesting and keeps you engaged. However, I encountered several game-breaking bugs that prevented me from progressing. First, I got stuck in a small space next to spikes. I restarted, died, then passed the first checkpoint and a little further. Hit some guy, and the game went completely black (grey, actually). I couldn’t do anything, but again, restart.
Hi! First of all, thank you very much for playing and for the detailed feedback. I really appreciate it.
If you don’t mind, could you share a bit more detail about how the second bug happened? For example, which kind of enemy were you fighting before the screen turned grey?
Any extra detail would really help me track it down. Thanks again!
I think the grey screen happened closer to the end of the first level. Or at least in the second half of it. Maybe somewhere around the place where you hit the trunk. Can’t recall any other details.
