Really cool art and sound effects! Gameplay mechanics were very unique albeit a bit unintuitive, but great work overall!

This game is so cute, I absolutely loved the art. The different abilities were so fun to play around with, I really enjoyed the interactivity! Great job!

Very cool gameplay and mechanics with the different type of shells and abilities. The cutscene in the beginning was adorable. Nice work y'all!

Submitted

I love 2D platformers and I'm so glad I found this! The shells comboing into different shell movement was really awesome!! I do wish the key to pick up a shell was a bit easier to press while moving but other than that, great game!!

Very cool concept and great execution for a jam game! Rated! I'd be super grateful if you could play and rate my HTML5 project EXOSHELL SYNDICATE in return.

The art at the beginning is beautiful, albeit heartbreaking. The controls felt great and getting the hang of the rocket jump was super satisfying. Good game!

Super cute! Loved the animation and I thought the storyboard in the beginning was super cute. Pretty cool mechanics for a platformer!

Submitted

I thought this one was really neat! I liked the turn from a more traditional platformer to almost something more like kaizo mario. It would be nice to have a visual indicator of where the checkpoints are

Excellent job!! I loved the sequence where you used multiple shells to traverse a pit... even though I forgot about the time slow mechanic XD. The theme was awesome

GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!

Really fun gameplay mechanic!! 

Switching shells to use different abilities reminds me heavily of kirby, which I love. I also enjoyed the art, music, and sfx. Overall, the experience is grand!

Very adorable art style! The different shells having different abilities is really creative. I wish the shells respawned a bit faster and movement felt a bit faster/more fluid, but overall, very good game!

Can be kinda jank but it was really fun when I got the hang of it! Loved some of the tough level design, and the mechanic of different shells you can use or throw was very creative.

You guys are absolute geniuses with art!! The opening cutscene and character design is really cute and I love the little main character guy. I think the level design has pretty cool moments (I like the part where you're over a pit of spikes and you have to quickly swap shells and use the time slow mechanic). 

I think this game lacks a little in game-feel, but that just comes with a harsh time limit like this in a game jam. Otherwise, pretty cool game guys!!

The art is super cute and the use of different shells for consumable power ups is cool! I had a little trouble with the rocket jump section but it was still really fun to play.

I love this concept ! the trash shells giving different abilities was really fun to try and figure out even thought it was difficult

Pretty cool a little hard to play and understand though.
