Hi! Playing your game now:
Thanks for playing Nina and recording your reactions! means a lot :--D
Nice platofrmer. It has potential to keep growing and add more challenges, enemies and powerups.
The visuals are quite nice. The final level was a fun turnaround. Great entry.
A beautiful and incredible entry; the game is very pretty and engaging, I love it. I give it the highest rating, five stars, 5/5.
it means a lot! thank you so much
I like the bosses lol
I wonder which one exactly? :--D
I’m really curious about the world-building! (ツ)ノ
Fun platformer. Liked the main sprite. Nice entry
Cool little platformer with a unique twist with the machine. I really liked the cute characters. Some cute music would have added to experience and I think it would be more intuitive to use W or UPARROW for jumping instead of space.
Congratulations to this cute game!
hi! thank you. Actually UP ARROW...does work for jumping too!
True, sorry! I played with A and D and then W did not work. If I would have played with the arrow keys it would have worked.
This was really fun to play! And I like the characters and graphics - really cute :) I wish there was background music, but otherwise I enjoyed playing this!
Thank you!
Looks fun and familiar, good job.
Good concept and arts, i like platformer games.
Having a partner on the platform is great! It’s Innovative (Personally, I think it would be even better with music added)
I agree 1000%! (actually I had the WAV files for music...but they needed some editing and time run out..or I mismanaged it)
This game felt very familiar and innovative at the same time. Really enjoyed playing it, great work!
Nice concept! A music and a little story are missing. The otter animation is very cool! Thank you for this game
Wow! thank you for your kind words.
Having a buddy in a platformer is an interesting idea. I'm curious. Is there a narrative for your game. Who is Nina? Who is that otter guy? who is the machine? Is the machine my friend?
Yes! the Alien is just another worker, collecting coal for the company. The cute machine, Nina, turns that coal into diamonds .... though at first the Alien sees her only as a machine. Like Wall‑E, she has a heart, and in a polished version their bond would grow. The cyber-Mole is the troublemaker, always stirring chaos. Level 3 should feel like a mine, though for now the jam prototype uses a simple, generic background.
Cute platformer, very charming art, that was my favorite part of the game the art, really good job!
The character is so cute! I actually like the art.
Thank you! 'Cute' is exactly the vibe I was going for since day one, so reading this makes me really happy. Glad you liked the little guy! 😊
Wow, did you make this entire animation yourself? That lizard was truly impressive.
Thank you! I wish I could take 100% of the credit! As a solo dev I had to optimize. The backgrounds are Kenney assets, and the character animations were generated with AI as a base. Since AI frames aren't game-ready, I used my background in traditional animation to manually edit and clean them up so they looked good in-engine.
(The big red button is 100% my design, though! 🔴).
I've updated the game info to reflect this properly. Cheers! ;--)
Fun short game, like the idea about how we use machines to help us and then not much later they 'betray' us.
I like the art style, but i did really miss a main menu with a short how to play, cuz it took me a few seconds to figure it out.
It was a bit on the short side, and to movement felt a bit too fast here and there. But i enjoyed the game!!
I focused so much on game mechanics that I entirely missed the intro, you are totally right! Thank You!
