Amazing! I wish there was more but appreciate the effort that went into every little detail. It perfectly fits the NES theme and is really well polished. I like that you incorporated the short length into the story at the end - all very well thought out and a perfect entry for a game jam! Sprites are fantastic and I loved the hat throwing mechanic and how you can knock enemies over before jumping on them to finish them off, and using them as bounce pads to get to higher areas too!
It really reminded me of Super Mario Bros. 3. Especially the run animation and the little 'ba donk' drum sample that featured in the music. That was a nice touch!
Great job!
Jumping felt too slow... but everything else was awesome! Well done game. Great enemy design. The projectile mechanic worked well for collecting coins and stunning enemies. I enjoyed the crate with multiple coins. The game length and difficulty was perfect for a jam game. Excellent NES feel. (Oh, also great death animation when the character falls down off the screen and the coin fruit things go flying)
Nice game. Don’t know why we are all making such long games, for NES feel maybe. Appreciate getting to see the ending. It was great!
Fun game, really enjoyed the soundtrack, and the concept of the character and theme !
Some beautiful spritework, character animation and the soundtrack is fantastic as well
I love, love the ending screen, it's so pretty <3
What I love less about it is how quickly I got to see it, despite taking my time to soak in the charming atmosphere and collecting all the veggies I could see (seriously, just about chased one off a cliff, haha)
Seriously, I wanted more!
Such is the fate of jam games, especially ones as polished as this, but I'd love to see it expanded upon in the future!
The little hat raise in the crouch animation is so cute too, palette use is top notch overall~
Gah, and the enemy animations are so cute, especially the rat one that gets knocked over / ^w^ \
No notes, keep doing what you're doing o/
really great gameplay I also wanted to give the audio 6 stars
short and sweet, this one felt really great to play!
The chiptunes were amazing! I also loved the sfx for killing an enemy 😂 It really felt like I was playing on the NES, congratulations :) Long live veggies
Nicely polished,
Similar to Duck Tales, but a little too slow paced.
