The visuals and background layering is super cool on this one! I also noticed a bit of lighting around the main character, very cool. The music was nice too, and the sound design made a great addition to everything. Simple gameplay, but charmingly so and still has a good amount of challenge to it.  Nice work! 

Developer

Thank you, we are quite pleased with the parallax scrolling.

Submitted(+1)

I like the use of the realistic background parallax, looks cool

Developer

Hey, glad you liked it 😊

Submitted(+1)

great one! very solid visual, camara and movement!

Developer

Thanks a lot, the movement was the trickiest part.

Submitted(+1)

You got a very good difficulty here! It's not, like , impossible, but pretty difficult, I liked it a lot!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, the balancing part is not that easy 😎

Submitted(+1)

Omgg I felt so nostalgic playing this I love the syle it reminds me of that old android game I loved to play called "Zombie Tsunami". Maybe it was an inspiration? Overall beautiful game with fairly challenging task. Nice job! :)

Developer

Hey, no we don’t know this game. It is cool that it triggered some nostalgia :-)

Submitted(+1)

The visuals are really nice and give the game a good identity.

Well done!
If you get the chance, feel free to try our game as well

Submitted(+1)

I really like the art style! I wasn't able to get all balloons on my first try, but did get it on my second wooo. Great work!

Developer

Nice that you beat it 🎉

Submitted(+1)

The visuals were strange indeed. Interesting combination of styles.

Developer

Thanks! Exactly what we were going for!

Submitted(+1)

Simply a fun and short experience, personally i really liked the art style and the different layers in the parallax background felt natural and smooth to look at. I feel like the game would benefit from some harder platforming since now I just had to learn the layout and after that it was pretty easy :)

Developer

That could be an addition for a bigger version of the game. For this jam we wanted to make it short and sweet.

Submitted(+1)

A nice short game that worked well. I managed to get all but 4 balloons on my run.

The art style wasn't to my taste, and felt a bit mismatched with the odd character and the realistic background. The real world isn't that strange of a place either! Though maybe it is for your character?

Developer

It is really hard to come up with strangeness 🥴

Submitted(+1)

Absolutely love the art and assets

Developer

Thanks so much!

Submitted(+1)

i feel like i could’ve played this on kongregate a decade ago, the vibes and style and music and everything is so peak. love the little 3D character guy!!

Developer

Hey thanks for playing and your nice words!

Submitted(+1)

Great jump and run. I like the art and the overall vibe of the game. The character is very strange. Just like me after eating too much horse electrolytes.

Developer(+1)

Hey (or should I say “Hay”), I enjoyed your cameo in the space travel game as well!
