Simple, adorable, and fun! Was fun propelling my way up, and the game looked and sounded pleasingly well! Very good job with this one! High score at the end, was able to get 16,533!

A simple but and artistically pleasing little game, but I felt that it didn't add for much player growth, as after a handful of increases, you could survive every plane and bird with your bar not even hitting half use, making the game feel a bit stale as you couldn't do anything else to better your playthrough. The music and art are very cute and charming as well, which makes the game feel very aesthetically pleasing and gives it a fun style to entice players, but overall the gameplay could require some balancing, and some animations or player feedback like sound effects for getting hit could have been useful. Overall, this game has some great vibes, good job!

The graphics are quite charming, but the gameplay feels a bit stiff. I would have liked to move faster left to right, or maybe an upgrade that lets you have faster horizontal movement. It's also a bit jarring when starting the game, because you have to jump as soon as it starts or you just fall to the ground. If the player were to hover in the air until the jump button was pressed, that would fix my gripe. I did enjoy the music; fun carneval vibes.

Adorable, simple, fun. I have a few nitpicks with gameplay and balance. The concept of birds/planes draining the bar, and which can be shot with the gun, was not obvious, though I did end up figuring it out. The gun is also totally pointless, as the bullets move far too slowly to make shooting birds worth it. I noticed also that the player can stick to the left side of the map and fly infinitely, as, there is candy but never any planes.
Good interpretation of the theme, and I would have loved if the propeller hat actually spun. Nice job overall.

EDIT: Completely my fault for not reading about the birds on the game page

Simple, but I like it. The only thing that confused me: birds and planes don't bring me any damage. Maybe it's planned to be like that... don't know

Pretty good game.. Although.. Need some fix or something to improve the game.. Like for example.. When I buy candy to make jump even more powerful.. It for some reason.. Made me overpower the game immediately ( just by buying the candy once by the way )


And get this highscore:

 

And the gun feel off.. I can't explain it exactly.. But when I point gun at something ( like bird  for example ) the bullet it doesn't feel like move towards exactly.. Like that one time I try make bullet fly towards a  bird.. But When I did.. Bullet gose down before suddenly moving towards where I point at.. I don't know if this is just me.. But bullet feel weird.. And make game feel like good.. Like for example make player feel like they are actually flying.. Than just.. Watch it..but Bsides that.. The game is pretty good what it is.. And I feel like is kinda game.. where I might come back because of endless mode and endless upgrade.. So.. Good job!!!👍 


( and if you can.. Please play and rate my game call invader Jimmy.. I pull a lot time and effort on it.. So I would really appreciate it if you can play and also rate my game call invader Jimmy.. Even to feedback too.. Thanks for reading!!! )

I really like the idea of flying progressively higher and getting upgrades for later runs! However my main piece of feedback is that after visiting the shop once I was already able to fly infinitely, I think giving the game a balance patch could help a ton! Also, for some reason the birds and the planes didn't kill me? But regardless I still had fun :)

CUte art and nice game but the birds don't kill me for some reasons and maybe you could add more"spin" I understand that the hat is teh spinning thing but it is not really spinning,but nice entery anyway!

Simple but fun idea. The art is cute. Nice job, you guys!

I just wish that there was a bit of a delay being starting the game and having to propel. I accidentally died like three times. Also, the game difficulty felt very constant, and I wish there was some kinda collectible power up for when you run out of energy or if you need to propel upwards more. But otherwise the arcade gameplay is quite enjoyable, and the artstyle was very pleasant! :)

Thank you for playing :)) I’m sorry about the instant death thing haha we’ll definitely fix it after the jam. There are collectibles but I think we could telegraph it better too. Thank you once again <3

It's a simple and fun game! One thing I think would improve the experience is adding a damage indicator when the player hits an obstacle. I also think there are a bit too many obstacles at the beginning. It might feel better if there were fewer at first, and then more and more appeared as the game progresses.

Thank you so much for your feedback!! Yeah we’ll definitely implement those changes when we have time after the jam is over

thanks for making this! i think you could've made it so that you don't start falling until you press space for the first time. i would press "try again" and instantly lose lol.

Thank you for playing this!! We were running short on time but want to work on it more after the jam is over; hopefully we can implement your suggestion ASAP!

Hello chocoda_jib and NyktStrix. Very great game! Love the cartoonish art style and whimsical music. The controls feel quite responsive. I like the small details such as the sun spinning, very cool. I also love the fact that you basically just added a version of the event organizer into the game as the main character. I got to around 10,000 m on your game with one upgrade of each type. Tho, I do feel after you get one of each upgrade you can definitely go forever. Overall a very enjoyable and fun game.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback :) We’re really glad you liked it! I think we’ll tune the difficulty after the jam too.
