This was very fun to play through! The level design and movement felt great to use, and the artstyle + music were also really good!

If I had one complaint, it's that the atmosphere feels pretty inconsistent. The atmosphere in the first part of the game also felt really good and mysterious, like you were exploring a stange, unfamiliar world. Then it just changes into a more collectathon-platformer vibe randomly, only to go back and forth between atmosphere and more upbeat platformer vibes later. Don't get me wrong, both styles are good, but the sudden change was a bit jarring

Maneeee u really kilt with the visuals and polish. I made one of dem rate for rate posts so I was busy playing other games, but I was eyeing to play this one once I finished. I already said it but ion kno bro it's jus that the visuals and the polish were sooooo good, it reallly didn't feel like a game jam at all. Very cute player model, very cohesive and cute 3D style as well. Water bears can lowkey be ugly irl but u made them so cute and chubby lol. I also really like the ending music I stayed a bit to listen to it. The only critiques I would have really is to optimise for movement-based things since the gameplay is so centered around it. I initially was a bit frustrated with the slow player speed, and it felt a bit walking sim-ish, but then I realized I can bounce around on my head, so maybe teaching the player they can do that would help polish the experience, perhaps. Also guiding the player through other movement-based things like holding space for a longer jump, and explaining that those pads boost your jumps further.  I do really like the bouncing on the head, it reminds me of b-hopping, but it does introduce some more areas of polish imo. It's all jus slight stuff, but since when you bounce on your head, you are locked into that jump.  It would be frustrating sometimes overshooting obstacles just because I was trying to go faster, or even being locked in the wrong direction from where I wanted to go. I think this could be fixed if you gave the player control over direction while they were in the air or maybe even giving them the ability to double jump (either built in or unlockable) so that they can have the chance to redirect when in the air. Overall, this was really good bruh. Good job!

I have no idea how you managed to make this entire game in two weeks. I wish I had your skills.

Everything about this game felt so well made and polished and I had a blast bouncing around the various areas.

Fantastic job! I hope this game does well in the rating. 🤩

I really enjoyed playing your wonderful game. The graphics and music are simply superb. The level design is top-notch—I never got lost once. Great job!

My two biggest complaints would be the slow movement speed (feels arbitrary low like BOTW quick speed exhaustion) and the music being very low compared to the SFX. The jump height is also pretty low (a bit like how BeardMage describes it). Other than that the SFX and music are nice, the art as well (just a tiny polishing left I’d say, but it doesn’t help that I started playing video games with the DS and Wii, which had quite high standards already, so my standards are high from what I am most familiar with. It is still very good by itself!), and it is overall very creative! The ending was quite funny as well.

I can’t see the connection to the theme though. Did I miss something? Is it because it is a very resistent animal?

Hey! Truly a delightful game. I beat it. It was wonderful. The platforming all works super smoothly for me, very intuitive. The music towards the end with the string instruments was sick. I like that you drew all the cutscenes. What a cute little game :) I really love this. Excellent job

When I got going with the bouncing it got really fun! Enjoyed it a lot, sometimes the bouncing could be a bit finnicky but overall a satisfying experience!

The artistic direction is top notch ! Really unique and polished, it's amazing ! The platforming is mostly very satisfying and permissive, it fits the atmosphere really well. The only little downside I found was that it is sometimes a bit hard to climb even tiny edges. In one of the areas I had to jump 5-6 times to get back on a small ledge after falling down. But besides that, everything was smooth and satisfying to play. Great job <3

Woow, the visuals are really well-made and consistent! It must have taken a ton of work. I also like how the jam’s theme of invincibility is presented in the story.

I did find myself wondering if that could be reflected more directly in the gameplay as well. I feel like there’s some interesting potential there.

Nice job!

nice visual movement is also cool, but just a platformer? this genre somehow bored me personally

First of all, huge props for the visual identity, it’s really well done and stands out right away. It gave me strong PS2-era vibes, like old SpongeBob or even a bit of Majora’s Mask, which I love. The game is genuinely fun and has that playful charm that makes you want to keep exploring, definitely something that deserves more development after the jam. I’d really appreciate it if you could rate my game too 

Super cute graphics! Loved the Tardus character! Excellent level design and game mechanics as well. Game felt pretty smooth given the physics based systems. Great work!

Tardus is so cute! I am a fan of platformers and this was a 5/5 of enjoyement. But my boy Tardus was a little slow, I think it's alright.

Pretty unique movement mechanic that's really satisfying to master, big fan of the art style as well. Nice work!

very cute and bouncy! 

the game runs very smooth and the character is cute.
