Absolutely adorable! I love the artstyle (the jumping sprite was particularly cute), and the dialogue was really fun! It felt like a pretty good length for a jam entry, too. Very nicely done! ^^

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! We were a bit self-conscious if the duration was a bit too short at first, but it seems people are clearing the game within a comfortable 8 to 10 minute range simply from taking in the amount of detail the team has put into each level haha. Thank you for playing!

I like the concept! I wanna know more about the main character's friends.

grate work !!!

specially the ending of the game I was confused at first and wondering why am I climbing all of that but you actually surprised me XD

Such a cute Jam entry!

Absolute gem of a submission, everything fits well together and the game runs smoothly. Loved the dialogue and the story being told, also very topical since this was made during the world cup! Overall great execution of the theme and great gameplay.

I really love the controls, it's so smooooth! The art style is extremely cozy and cute as well!! One of my friends showed me their record time, so I decided to beat it..

Developer

This is such a great little game! The art style is adorable, the music is groovy, and the controls feel great. I rarely speedrun, but this was so fun I had to try! 1:21, I think that's as low as I can get it

Developer

haiiiiii thankyuuuu! im glad you like the vibe and the feel!
and i personally glad you enjoy the music XD

wowwieee thats pretty fast! woowww XD you beat nearly all of the dev's records! 
its not an easy feat to get to get a 1:21 time wao!

thank you so much for playing to such extent!, truely!

Cute little game with a solid art style. Didn't overstay it's welcome at all!

Developer

hehe hiii, thankyou for playing our game!

Submitted(+2)

Very polished and fun little platformer! Needing to find where the goal is in the level instead of just heading in one direction the whole time is a nice concept. Can't really find any faults, good work!

hiii thankyou!

waooww hiii thankyou for playing our game!

that was some pretty impressive score by the way XD
you beat most of the team's speed record!

Submitted

Most... So you're saying there's someone I'm yet to beat... What's their time >:)

Developer

me >;3c (1:27:769)

but ive been eclipsed by the "too imersive" devs hasdhasdhashdhads (01:21.371)
which is pretty insane!

holy moly what a fun little game! the controls are incredibly smooth, especially for a jam game, the artstyle and the dialogues are very cute. 

the game was so fun, in fact, that two of us just raced each other for a while, trying to get the best time (current record is 01:21.371) unfortunately that is when we noticed that the ingame timer is slightly bugged (we even checked with a stopwatch ;3). we think it maybe counts the time spent in the main menu?? (if you ever release a post-jam fix for the timer let us know because we would love to race some more!!)

also during the first playthrough it was easy to miss some dialogues because they displayed at the top while we were platforming, and some objects (tables, boxes and especially the windows) looked like they could be jumped on but that's not the case. but these are ultimately pretty minor nitpicks for such an impressive game! great job!!

p.s. what animal is ronaldo in this world? is it a goat??

Developer(+1)

firstly,  haiii im glad you enjoy it XD thankyou for the compliment!

secondly, NNOWWAYYYYYY YOU BEAT MY FASTEST TIME?!?!? (1:27:769) AND I WAS THE FASTEST OF MY TEAM ASDGYHIBAGISYHDIYGHASDYI i thought i was fairly fast XD

ohh whoa, i didnt know the timer isnt accirate! thank you for pointing it out!
i personally would irons out and implement a proper quick restart and restart so we didnt have to refresh the browser everytime we finnish haha
i could discuss it with the team and see if they also wanna do post jam re visit hehe 

that was fair critique thankyou! i truely appreciate the input!!, we were thinking of adding text speed option for easier readability but we were out of time X3, it also didnt help that we read the text over and over again to the point we thought the text speed was fair, we were wrong XD
after a few play test from friends, we added a second for the dialogue, but i suppose theyre still too fast, my appologize hwhwhwhwhw
thanks again for playing our game!

and hmm good question
hmmmmmmmmm
im not sure lmaooo, i dont really watch footbal,  im the fella that would bring the tv antena up to the tower to get signal XD
maybe we all could get good signal to tell what species is ronaldo XD, maybe it was a horn afterall and not a static!

im really eager to try to push for a 1:19 which really is a testament of how fun and addicting your platforming mechanics are!

im not going down without a fight tho >;3c

Developer(+1)

ok waooowwww you all are way too fast, i cant keep up any longger ashdhasdhdahkl

i am proudly passing my torch to you fellas at mildly upset crab!
from the tip of my tail, thank you so much for playing our game to such extent! <3
the least i can do is to attempt a fix on my free time hehe!

Super cute game! The gimmick really sells this as a nice platformer, and I really enjoyed the escalation from level to level. My only grudge is that the messages were on top of the screen while our character is in the middle. I couldn't read and platform at the same time, but I adored the writing very much nonetheless!

Developer

thankyouu !

that is a fair critique! we thought its a better fit to put it on the top to not block the character and/or the floor, but we didnt think of acessability! thank you for the input!

and thankyou for playing our game!

AAA This was such a cute game! I really loved the artstyle and the animated comic-book style intro in the beginning! The platforming felt really solid to control, I do wish more objects could be jumped on but that's more of a nitpick than anything. Overall great work and awesome job to everyone on the team, this is so lovely!

Developer(+1)

haii thankyouu!

that is fair i suppose XD
i was planing to also do some stage making but i got caught in some shienanegans with some code XD

thank you for playing our game!

Superb presentation! Lovely animation and art and the audio sets the perfect tone. My only note is that I thought the game had bugged the first time when the start screen zooms out. Also I kept accidentally skipping conversations at the end cos the open door button becomes the skip cutscene button. But yeah all the friends' commentary really keeps this one going along nicely.

Developer

haii thank you for playing our game!

ohh, i wonder how does it look when it bugged out!, i am not aware with the bug on the start screen zoom yet!

oyeahh thats fair critique XD, i could see how it could be an issue, sorry for re using the same key mapping for the door and skip dialogue!
this will be a lesson learned for the future. i hope it didnt cost you too much restart!

thanks again for playing our game!

Submitted

Oh its not a real bug, just that it caught me off guard and I thought the game had an issue with scaling the screen correctly.
And all good, I just played on. The game was still plenty of fun.

Incredibly cute lil platformer ~ The artstyle and banter added a lot to it!! Love the interpretation of the theme as well, and the antenna beeping faster as you got closer to the goal was nice.

The only feedback I have is that at certain times, it was hard to tell what I could and couldn't jump on, for example, in the second level, where I mistook the windows as a platform I could jump on. I think thinning the outlines on objects like that would go far in communicating what is and isn't a solid object. However, I still had a blast with the game!!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback and playing our game ^^

Submitted(+3)

This was a blast!! :3
The vibes feel genuine! I felt like I would have qualified as the weird but fun friend to do the antenna stuff so everyone else has the good reception, but I probably wouldn't have been nearly as brave, haha :3

Good stuff!! :3

Developer(+1)

haiii YYYNeko! thankyou for playing XD

fun fact, i think all our team member share similiar sentiment aswell haha!
im glad you enjoy it!

Submitted(+2)

Yoooo this is so well polished and executed, the character controller feels so smooth too, really good job. Would have liked some little more obstacles or platformer mechanics in general, but like overall this is very impressive work for a jam :D Congrats !

Developer

Thank you for playing! ^^

Submitted(+3)

Sweet little platformer with an adorable art style and pretty impressive object/art density! Really chill and well done! :D

Developer

haiii thank youuu!

Submitted(+5)

A simple idea, perfectly executed. I was smiling from start to finish. Everything from the 90s aesthetic to the music was CRISP.

…If I have one suggestion to make, I think it would be making the levels less linear, and more open, and making finding the correct signal spot to be the primary challenge.

Still. Excellent, excellent work. Five stars on all fronts.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing our game! ^^ <3

haii thankyou for the input! i appreciate it!

Aaaaaa short and sweet but damn that was an awesomely fun run! Love the music and chatter, that pixel art nokia is :3 The amount of detail inside the levels is jaw dropping. Movement is _slightly_ on the twitchy side and I had to switch to my gaming paw to make some jumps. 5 all! Love the doggo!

Developer(+2)

Thanks for playing our game ^^ and yes, we love the silly doggo :3
