Amazing game. Difficulty could definitely be tweaked, but it’s really fun regardless. Once you learn how to use the chain jump properly it’s very satisfying to pull off. The charge roll also helps a lot if you know what you’re doing. If possible it’d be nice if the collision was less wonky on moving stuff. I straight up clipped into a pillar at one point, though I was able to jump out of it. It’d also be nice if you couldn’t stick to steep slopes (you could do this a lot on the mountains in the starting area). Overall though absolutely amazing, would love to see more of this.

Fun! The player controller felt smooth, and it was very flowy to just be bouncing all over the place. I had only one issue with the control scheme, which was how unforgiving it felt to try to chain jumps. The timing window for it could be more lenient. 

Level-wise, the world's design was interesting and unique enough to keep me wanting to explore. Keeping an eye out for secrets was exciting, and I enjoyed that the simplicity of the "puzzles" led to more emphasis on movement. I wish there had been a couple more checkpoints underground, specifically in the castle, because I kept falling all the way down (usually on parts that required chain jumping) and eventually got frustrated enough to stop playing. 

Very solid game!

I can't believe it took me this long to actually play this one.

First of all you perfectly captured the 64 vibes! And the size and span of the lvl design is nothing but incredible! It just kept going and going! It looks cute, the music is calming. Great job!

I do have some questions about some of the mechanics chosen mainly about some of the rolling/waking. As it is it felt pointless that there was an option to walk cuz I just rolled everywhere, rolling seemed slightly faster and handled pretty much the same as walking so that makes me wonder why the player isn't just always rolling? I didn't encounter any specific area where walking was required? (although I stopped at like 130 gems so maybe it's there and I missed it :P)

That doesn't take away anything from the game though, just something I was wondering!

Very fun! Great game, good job!

Hello! I've played a fair bit of your game and I have some feedback for you! I did not finish it (I got to the temple looking building in the underground zone?) but I want to return to it after the game rating period is over!

• In the first grassy area for some of the small jumps I tried being in walking mode rather than rolling. Jumping while walking adds an amount of momentum that felt strange and I always overshot my jump. I pretty much never went back into walking mode for the rest of the time I played after that.
• I accidentally killed a ladybug. :( I know they're technically enemies but they're cute and I felt bad about squashing it.
• When you die to an enemy and explode into chunks it felt very tonally different from the rest of the game which is pretty cute. Jarring to see.
• The transition into the underground feels really long to me. I assume you're actually falling all that distance? Or is it a disguised loading area? Either way, I was worried I did something wrong for a second or two there before I landed.
• I really appreciate having different music tracks for the different zones! That's always a nice touch!
• Checkpoints seem a bit unforgiving in the first part of the underground zone.
• I eventually discovered that there is controller support! I very much appreciate that, I feel that controller is the optimal way to play a 3D platformer. 
  • However, the controller controls felt a little odd to me. I would have expected 'A' to be jump, but it's switch to walk mode. RT is jump, which is fine, but then RB is spin which is fine in isolation but I don't understand why either jump or spin wasn't on LT/B instead so you could quickly do both since they're under different fingers.
    • Sorry, that's pretty nit-picky of me I know.
• The green gems feel really nostalgic to me but I can't place them. I know they're similar to a collectable in something else I've played but I'm drawing a blank. I thought maybe Spyro but Spyro's gems are more... well, gem shaped, these are much more geometric.
• The platforming for the most part feels really good (in spin mode), but some of the jumps I felt like 'there's no way I can make that' and I made it with ease, and others that looked easy but I had to do some tech to get them. I don't know what it is.
• I did not find any cosmetics, I assume I didn't play long enough to find them. However, I really like knowing you added them into the game! Cosmetics are always fun! (when they're not micro-transactions. Or gambling.)

I think that's all I've got for now. I hope that didn't come off as negative! I'm trying to be constructive and help the game improve! I've got to say there has been a few games I've rated for this Jam so far where I've had to preface my comments with "This type of game isn't usually my thing, but...", However yours is exactly my thing. I love a 90's inspired 3D platformer collectathon. And this one feels like a worthy entry into that genre! I was not just saying things at the beginning of my review when I said I want to return to this after I'm done rating games, I really do want to finish it and hope you continue to expand it!

Thank you so much for the wonderful game experience! Have a fantastic day and good luck in the Jam!

what an amazing game! the character was so cute and the platforming felt great. i was surprised by the amount of content in the game, i played for about 45 minutes and didn't get all the extra collectibles (i likely would have looked for them had i not gotten stuck in the end area). i had some issues with the camera but nothing major except for that one small tunnel you ascend through in the lost isle with all the platforms was really difficult to orient the camera in. speaking of i thought all the different areas were great but the lost isles in particular were super fun. the forgotten castle as well was a really nice platforming section, it definitely made me a bit angry upon some falls but it felt very rewarding to finish because of that. other than that i just would have liked a way to exit the credit room so i could look for the remaining secrets but absolutely amazing job. probably my favorite game so far, i'd love to see a post jam update if you're feeling up to it <3

Tell me the secret. HOW did you make a game in 7 days, that is genuinely better than most 3D mario games? (- the amount of content ofc) THIS IS INSANE movement is fluid and ultra fun, just give me this bug and I can jump around for hours. Music is just charming, fits very well with locations, and the N64 style graphics, just 10/10 experience.

An actual game jam masterpiece. I have no idea how two of you packed in so much content but I loved it. Slowly learning and mastering the movement was so fun and ofc the visuals and music were off the charts. You outdid yourselves. I guess my only feedback is to make the enemies more important to the game, like maybe they drop something when you squash them or maybe some enemies can pose a bigger threat. Outside of that it's pretty much perfect and I hope you expand this into a paid steam release one day.

NO WAY you made this in 7 days, this is so ridiculously good omg. The levels were a bit too hard for me though ( 1 or 2 more checkpoints in the forgotten castle would've made it so much easier ) but honestly even though I was raging HARD, the movement tech is so so so so fun ( so many neat little speedrunning tricks could be possible ) and you can bunny hop!!!!!!! so fun man also the small little secrets and the unlockable outfits are great!  

I really liked the game!! It was very fun!! I just think you could do more spinning mechanics, the only spin that the game have is the rolling power, but great job anyways!!

Woah this is the BEST platformer I have in a while! Fantastic work  ദ്ദി(៸៸ > ᴗ < ៸៸ )

• The N64 nostalgic visual is really appealing! I love how each area have their own elements and music.
• Fun, in-depth rolling mechanic with many tricks you can do, it's like Mario's jump
• Level design a very good and the mechanics are taught smoothly without too much hints

It has all element needed to be fun to speedrun, but right now I just wanna find all the collectables~ (Missed 2 trophies)
