Rage game, made me rage quit, so good job I guess :D
Very cool game, I like the backtracking end the signs are very funny. Also the small detail that the blood is still on the traps on reset. very cool.
Epic epic game.
The way you managed to make it not annoying to die with: quick restarts and celebratory metal music carries the game.
The remaining bloodstains are a genius way to convey what happened in this quick paced unfair world
I've got a pretty alright time, but I refuse turning off my auto clicking macro at the boss fight (I'm sorry I'm weak like that), so I won't submit
Now some individual points in the game in order of appearance (I mostly wrote them during the first playthrough):
- The sign explaining the jump button should probably take less time when the player successfully performed a jump once, it's the only moment with waiting on death in the game, and it's right at the start.
- The second spike that moves sideways in the one level should probably have been visible in advance. I know it was probably a concious decision like this, but it's genuinely easy to forget anyway.
- Mate the upside down sign is hilarious
- The only moment in the game where I feel the game is needlessly hard is the precision falling section on the way back on the right most screen, I hope that's a precise enough description.
- Gotta say, felt kinda sheepish getting hit by the rightward moving spike on the way back. Great placement
Thanks for this experience, have an emoji: 🐩
A really, really, really fun game. I spent a lot of time playing it. It’s definitely challenging, but the controls feel great, and the way the signs are integrated into the theme works really well.
I think it would be even better if the controls could be customized, or if there were controller support. The little details, visual effects, and overall presentation are also very well done.
You’ve managed to make difficulty that isn’t too frustrating! Well, except the apple boss.
Yooo, that's fire, sounds greatly add up to overall atmosphere of the game (also i'm really glad to see another troll platformer, especially that good)
It was a fun, challenging game!
It felt kind of nostalgic!
An unfair platformer!! Nice, I love the classics! I’d suggest adding a death counter, and maybe some more visual feedback or effects on the spikes when you die.
The controls feel a bit heavy for a game with such precise collisions and fast events, especially since the game is already pretty challenging.
I got stuck at the double-jump section and couldn’t quite figure out what I was supposed to do next.
Still, really fun entry! Nice job!
I almost made a rage platformer as well. good to see that the idea was done justice here. really fun and satisfying game you made
Very fun I wanna be the guy tribute. And in true IWBTG fashion, the majority of my deaths were due to the apple. Great work :D
I hate pigeons. I hate pigeons. pigeons should not be real. pigeons AREN'T real. I KNOW PIGEONS AREN'T REAAAALLLL
good game though. 10/10
Why am I a pigeon and why does everything want to kill me :D Pretty hard, but somehow still fun instead of just frustrating. The traps got me way too many times and the music after dying made it even better. Really nice visuals too and overall a very fun little rage game.
