This was such a wonderful game, it brought back so much joy whimsey and nostalgia. All these puzzles are so refined and engaging, I couldn't put it down once I picked it up. You really nailed the unique mechanics for each box (I LOVE ICE PUZZLES!!!), each section was engaging and interesting and didn't stick around too long. Such an amazing submission!
This is so cooooool. The art is so nice, and you definitely nailed the retro vibe, great job!
STUNNINGGG!!! the art is actually so lovely to look at, seriously. you've expanded on your ideas in such good detail and it truly shows how much care you put into this. alongside that, the puzzles were genuinely super interesting and rewarding. out of all the submissions, this is one of the games i've played the most.
To be honest I'm just one person from our team having some fun with trying all these games.
I just gotta say, HOLY GAUGAMOLY I FREAKING LOVE THIS GAME.
I'm already a sucker for old school videogames, and this one just screams retro charm from the bottom of its video game heart. On top of that it's just adicting, I can barely put this thing down, LIKE SERIOUSLY.
Although I do wish that death was more punishing, cause I barely feel anything from making mistakes which makes the health pointless.
But other than that I'm praying this makes it into the collection(and I'm a atheist)
HOLY CRAP MAN YOURR TOO NICEEE AHHHH., Happy you enjoyed it as much as you did!!! I totally agree with that death comment It should definetly feel more impactful and punishing thanks for the feedback. If i make it into the collection I have you to thank Three idiots, One studios 🫡🫡 LMAOOOO skdsksdkdsksdksd
It's a charming and fun little game, doesn't try to do too much and what it does, it does well, cute artwork with interesting level design, I enjoyed it!
Hell Yeah Glad you enjoyed it!
The retro vibes are so cool, and over all, the sound design and enemies design is really cool as well, I like it, it's a funny game :3
I really loved the retro 16-bit style graphics it's so well done! The gameplay was really well done as well even if I wanted to rip my hair out sliding around in the ice level.
Really really cool! I loved the arcade style and the pixel art is beautiful! Great job!
Aww Thank you so much <3
super cute game idea! love the music! I love the animations, and art style and all!
Great progression and mechanic introduction makes the gameplay super fun and rewarding :> Great job!!! also amazing enemy variety!!!
AWW Super glad people appreciate how many enemys i jamed into this thing! Thank youuu :>
Simple, but fun.
I love top down games like these. This one reminds me of the older legend of Zelda games.
Yup, i love them too! Link's awakening was quite a big inspiration for me with this game, took quite a while to get that movement juuuuust right,. So glad people like it!
i love this game !!!
the characters the deltarune chapter 3/gameboy like gameplay ARE GREAT!!! But the video isnt so much "BAD GAME IDEA!!!" and also the music is a little bit annoying
and also i forgot to mention HOW MUCH I LOVE THE ARTSTYLE!!!!
Heh, i totally forgot about the video until like the last couple hours of the deadline gahhh! (whole point of the jam btw oopsiess :P). Thank you SO much for lovin the art that means so much to me man <3
I love the Zelda oracle of season/age/link's awakening artstyle! The music is also perfectly in theme for that.
It doesn't seem like the life regen works, though it does still checkpoint you at that room. Loved the puzzles, and also loved the reveal of being able to move diagonally. Though it wouldn't have been that big of a reveal if I thought outside the box. Anyways, I thought learning what each enemy does was pretty cool. Also found it interesting that the bouncing guys actually could hit you when they went up, that made for some interesting sections. Also liked how the rolling guys could press buttons and also chuck themselves into the void. Also liked the last little puzzle, and that it looped me back to the start (cause I did wonder who the person in the corner was, and I didn't know that you could move diagonally the first time I saw them). The game is pretty surreal with it's enemies and art too. Pretty good game
Oh my thank you so so much!!! I didnt think people would actually get all the way to the end lol. Im so happy that diagonal movement worked as a "reveal" cause i rlly wasnt sure if itd work like such. Yeah i dont think the life regen stuff works yet which uhhh kinda sucks :c. But im working on it! Thank you so much for playing my game!
fun puzzles, creative enemies and great pixel art. w game
For this enemy alone this is peak creativity. Also it's been a while since I saw one
Haha, i was actually gonna remove that last second but kept it in cause i forgot lol. That one was a ton of fun to animate glad people like it!
cool game, never felt it was very hard from what played, but it was pretty cool
Your game is really cool. It's very fun. It's very reminiscent of the Master System or NES. One detail I noticed is that the "coin" enemy deals damage when it jumps because it ends up occupying 2 squares, even though, theoretically, I'm out of its reach. Apart from that, the game is really fun.
Woah that completely went under the radar for me, thanks for reporting. Glad you enjoyed it though it means alot !
Very nice game. I love the pixel art and the music it's a fun little puzzle game.
Thank Youuuu!!!
