okay now this is fun! I loved the voice acting too!
Full disclosure - I spent my first 10 minutes of this game knowingly ignoring the spider and just swinging around like a lil frog Spider-Man. The movement is just so fun haha. Loved the voice acting and lines for the spider once I got there. Funny and fun game with a rather addicting movement system. In fact, imma jump back in just to swing around a bit more before trying out another game...
That was fun and very good for one person, and the first jam game as well. I like the graphics.
I discovered only a few minor issues, first I read the 0/1 fly as 011 flies, thought I need to collect 11 of them. And later for the ground bugs, where I had to collect 3, there were then almost none out there anymore, on the other side they were outside the map
Very fun! I've always liked a good momentum based movement system and this ones no different, swinging around was such a joy that I kind of forgot that I was supposed to to be fulfilling bounties haha. I'd love if the spider was called out a bit more, took me a while to figure out where they were. Also possibly reset the position of the goose on death, hand an unfortunate situation where is spawn camped me a little. But yeah, games really great - amazing work!
Who would have thought that playing as a kidnapping spider-frog doing uber eats deliveries would be so fun? This was one of the most fun games i have played in this jam, great job!
Really appreciate the kind words mate! Maybe making this a full uber eats delivery driver game to different critters could be a good update! Glad you had fun, Cheers!
Such a good game! the graphics are really good but it was hard to find the spider
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it, have made it easier to find the spider in the new version which i will upload post voting period. Cheers!
A lot of good things about this game. The swinging was really fun, liked the art and voice acting. Ran into a few bug (no pun intended) but still had a lot of fun. Really good job!
Thanks so much for the kind words, glad you liked the scuffed voice acting too haha! Cheers
This was insanely fun! The controls and movement were very fluid, reminded me a bit of Cyber Hook which is a game I really like, so this was right up my ally. I also like that the spider gives quests to go to specific locations, at first I wasn't sure what the incentive was to leave the area near the drain (due to the goose) but exploring around and making it up that tree was super rewarding
Super glad you had fun with it and appreciate the comparison to Cyber Hook! I have made a change to better guide the player to the spider at the start so will upload that version once the voting period is done. Glad you made it up the tree! I spent so much time during development just swinging around on the tree branches haha. Cheers for the kind review mate
I don't know what happened, I couldn't stick my tongue out and the mouse/look around thing with tab didn't work
I really loved the art tho!
I had a friend run in to the same problem. Not particularly sure what has caused it? If you don't mind asking are you on mac/windows/linux and what browser? Would like to try fix this if possible. Otherwise i'll upload downloadable versions after the voting period is done. Glad you liked the art though! Cheers
This game is so impressive! Nicest looking 3d game I've seen in a Godot game jam. Swinging around is fun
Thanks! Glad you liked the visuals and had fun :)
Great looking, nice fitting music, love the voiced parts. It was fun to swing around. It was really challenging to lick the bars, but so satisfying to pull it off.
It was fun to see all the bugs pile up, but turning in the bugs was often frustrating, since it nearly always left me buried.
The level is so well made for this swinging gameplay. Lots of different and interesting places to get to. Lots of variety in the level, in insects and their behaviours.
That goose is a worthy opponent. Always know where the goose is.
Appreciate the kind words! Especially about the level design, i tried pretty hard to make it so that there are lots of different paths you could take to swing around so glad that came across to you. The bugs piling up and turning in system has been a huge pain point for a lot of people so i have made fixes to this so you don't get stuck anymore and will post it after the voting period is done. Thanks so much for your feedback :)
Fun game, it's always cool to see 3D games in jam that look good and this one . The target system was pretty difficult with how short your tongue was. I would've liked to see a targeting assistance mechanic where if you weren't targeting something you could reach it would pick the next closest things to that point or something like that
Appreciate the kind words on the visuals. Have gotten similar feedback about the difficulty from a few people so I have a plan for upgrades that make it easier for once the voting period is done. Cheers!
This is really cool! Swinging mechanics are always awesome, and the bounty stuff is cool, although I was lost for a little bit on objectives (slater threw me off at first, maybe a preview model of the target off to the side would help? either way a really good time)
Thanks so much for the feedback! I learned from this jam that the world doesn't call them slaters so that was new for me haha. Definitely will be adding a preview model for the bounties to make it easier. Glad you had fun!
Game name is hilarious and I love it! I would love to see more threats like a goose. Also, I found it extremely satisfying to swing around the goose while it was moving, gaining a lot of momentum!
Hahaah thanks! I was pretty stoked with the name when i first though of it. Glad you had fun :)
Really enjoyed this one m8
Things I loved:
- Really efficient use of simple 3D graphics to create a compelling environment
- Core gameplay loop is satisfying, swinging works really well!
- The upgrade screen and inventory both look fantastic
Things I'd love to see:
- Threat similar to the goose as you climb higher
- Some fixed environmental threats (e.g. mozzie light) would be interesting
- A bit of audio variation as you climb higher would be nice as a kind of reward in and of itself
Great job and go grab a couple potato cakes to celebrate ;)

Thanks so much for the nice feedback mate. Love the environmental threats idea! Was initally planning on having a bird that flies around but just ran out of time. Would be great to add, so thanks for the idea! Audio feedback for increasing height is also a great idea.
Cheers mate i'll make sure to grab some potato scallops!
Love the visuals and the dialog! The movement, mainly the jump, felt a bit more like a challenge than an upgrade since it made it harder to place bugs in the bowl but I had a lot of fun overall! Side note, there's a spot near the spider where you can get soft-locked in the rocks.
Awesome feedback thanks mate. I've pinned that exact spot and will post the patch after the jam is done!
Also, i agree that the jump definitely made things a bit harder, might rework this to be a jump height based off of button hold length or something instead because I was struggling to get into the goose coop with max level jumps. Appreciate you playing it! Cheers :)
You might also experiment with a ground slam, some games I've played with high jumps let you press jump again in mid-air to cancel the jump and slam down
Awesome idea. Will give that a try too! Cheers mate
Fun little game
Thank you!
Sick game, love the progression! Took a little while to find the spider at the start, but once the objective was clear it was very smooth sailing :D
Thanks for the feedback! That seems to be a common issue so I'll be sure to make that more clear in a patch ASAP! Appreciate the kind words
Seeing your progress in the discord and now finally playing it feels great. The movement is as cool as I thought! :D Needed to try out stuff and get the hang of it first but once you are in, it feels freeing to swing around. Great work!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind feedback. Glad you had fun
Really nice Work! Felt great to just swing around. though i never did get how to upgrade but still very fun!
Thanks mate! Did you find the spider and start completing the bounties? Not sure i made that clear enough at the start
I found the spider but couldn't seem to interact with it. Not sure what happened.
Ahh okay this seems to be a reasonably common issue that I didn't make clear. You're supposed to catch the bugs and drop them on the platform in front of the drain and then ring the gong. This opens up the upgrade system and starts the new bounty :) Great feedback though thank you so much, will make sure i get a patch out ASAP
