How does your game fit the theme?
The player energy points counts down during battle, and when the countdown reaches zero then the player is vulnerable and cannot attack enemies. The game also features challenge areas that require the player to reach the end without their energy reaching zero.

I've added this to play more later/after the jam cause I'm tight on time but I gave it a good go. And I LOVED it. Came for the DR/UT style art and stayed for the really cool and unique gameplay and narrative. I love the timer and trying to time your moves right in the special rooms - That gives Celeste vibes. Only these strawberries are useful! Loved the side rooms, loved the game, loved the concept
Thanks for the experience! Please take this further!
Cool idea and really great artwork! You should try to develop this further after the event, when you have more time :D
cute pixel art
This art style reminds me of Undertale, and I love the story you’ve presented.
I think it's impressive you had optional collectables in your game jam game. Overall very cool experience, got an undertale vibe from this one!
Cool suite of powers, nice spritework, and a little story to go with it. What's not to love? Really good job!
Wow this was awesome i loved the level design !! This is really well polished for 3 days, good job! ^^
Great game! I love the little tongue attack, so cute!
I would love to see more of that dungeon and the different monsters you encounter and maybe different abilities the little guy offers.
You've done a really good job, I enjoy your game very much! Keep it up!
Lovely game! I really liked the way you interact with your little guy :)
Short & sweet, I love the tongue mechanic.
The game idea is very solid! The art is cute. Great game!
A very pleasant top-down platformer with charming visuals and a surprisingly polished feel. After the character transformed, the design strongly reminded me of Undertale in a good way—the characters have a similarly quirky and appealing charm.
The game was also more challenging than I expected in some places, while still feeling dynamic and enjoyable. I liked the small narrative elements, the mechanics, and the overall presentation.
I only realized quite late that some rooms contained upgrades for the ability meter. At first, I thought they were simply optional branching paths, so I missed quite a few upgrades. One of the upgrade rooms was especially difficult, and I probably attempted it around fifteen times before giving up and continuing toward the end.
Overall, this is a cohesive and well-made project with fun mechanics, appealing characters, pleasant visuals, and strong Undertale-like vibes. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for playing and beating the boss! Yes the last challenge room was designed as a very hard challenge, but kept it optional and kept the main rooms easy enough so that everyone can beat it. I am glad you liked it!
this game is so cute and fun. i love it :D
Fun little game! Enjoyed seeing the lil guy's mechanics
I really enjoyed the story and the artwork. Maybe the music was not exatly my type but it's not a big deal. It was fun playing the game. The final boss was hard for me and I could't beat it, still, I really liked the game.
this is cool! I really enjoyed the story and I think everything fits well together from an artistic standpoint, I really appreciate the optional nature of some of those harder timed challenges
I think top down platforming is always a bit tricky to find the right balance for when it comes to mechanics and smooth controls but this felt good, honestly a super solid entry
I like the idea of having a creature with special "abilities". Nice work!
The art is really cute. I also like the way the human reacted when confronted with the contract. What a stoic.
I struggled a bit with the jumping mechanic, but overall the game is fun!
The gameplay is very engaging. I think you can expand this game into a full game because the game game mechanic is very good. The last golden berry is a little too hard but i finish it.
i liked the story, art and game mechanics
