I beat the government! It's funny cause I found the item right after getting the final coin. Very cute platformer and quite cozy. I thought you'd hide a coin underwater but I don't think I got the dive mechanic to work underwater. But it was fine. It was still really fun.

Developer

hahaha the dive mechanic is only meant for doing fun lil dive jumps around the world, theres no underwater swimming (yet). im glad you beat the government and had fun, thanks for playing !! :D

Omg this is definitely one of my favourite games from the jam i played. Absolutely immaculate vibes, the soundtrack fits the game so nicely. And the amount of polish put into this is incredible for 4 days, like the pause menu is so well done, the soundtrack variation here is also so good! Great job!

Got 2:49. Idk what's going on but I'm suddenly discovering such awesome well polished games back to back. Loved the intro, and the game felt incredibly nostalgic. The music reminded me of Ape Escape for some reason. Loved the whole thing!

Developer (1 edit)

Developer

thanks ! im glad you enjoyed :D

wow, fairly simple idea but EXCELLENT execution! the controls felt super tight and the visuals are excellently done. when it dawned on me that I'd need to collect every coin it suddenly felt like a super mario galaxy purple coins level in the best way. I finished with 02:34 to spare! very good job

I would appreciate a play & review of my game if you have the time.

Developer

thanks so much ! glad you enjoyed :D i'll check urs out for sure !

I LOVED JUMPING AROUND! This is literally so good for 4 days!!! And your pixel shader is great btw! I narrowly beat it with 35 seconds to spare... the coin finder saved my life... THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BEAT THE GOVERNMENT

Oh and randomly i really liked how the music slows down when you pause and the tutorial is given literally while your playing, and the character is really cute!

Developer

hahah buzzer beater niceee. thanks for playing and noticing small things like the music slowdown in the pause lol, i have a lot of fun messing around with things in the engine like that so im glad it pays off that some ppl like it! your game was phenomenal too so it means a lot you enjoyed !

Very fun and honestly quite relaxing game, especially with the ambiance. Loved the post processing and art style!

Developer

hahaha im glad u could find it relaxing even with the big bomb ticking down. thanks for playing !

Very fun game, fairly simple but the controls are tight and it feels good moving around the level. Honestly the intro with the massive bomb crashing down out of nowhere was a brilliant touch, you could've just had a generic timer running in the corner but this explosive introduction does a lot to set the tone and make you feel the urgency. The coin finder upgrade was a smart addition too, it would've been really frustrating to hunt down the last few coins otherwise. I had a time of 2:51 on the clock by the end, but I can definitely see a lot of speedrunning potential in this. Great work!

Developer(+1)

hahaha thank you !! im glad the intro left an impression, and yes i added the coin finder in case people struggled to find any coins and if they happen to fail they would know to get it right at the beginning of their run next time. thanks for playing!

Awesome!!! The polish is incredible, I really like the coins and the models. I also really like the movement with the diving! Really fun game!

Fun platformer! Finished with 2:58 remaining, and funnily enough, I found the coin finder almost at the end. Awesome game! You can really notice all of the polish that went into this :D

Developer

thank you so much!! your game was amazing too !

Game spawned a bit off screen but thankfully i could reach the options menu. Finished with a time remaining of 3:47. Fun little platformer collecting everything before time runs out ^-^

Developer

glad you were able to finish it, thanks for playing !!
