Sweet game. After some balloons I was mainly spamming the up button to get past the things haha but the concept is pretty good. Loved how everything fits together, only missing piece there is a chill song in the back.
Good job!
Dang I'm sad now, good game.
oh no, I see we both wanted to make ppl sad about dogs and you got me in that bittersweet way.
I loved your cute goldie sprite and I knew what was coming story-wise but still wanted to see goldie's story through to the end. I'm not great with puzzles but I didn't struggle too much and "dying" didn't feel punishing enough to make me want to stop.
Amazing level design with a really creative and heartfelt interpretation of the theme its awesome you should be very proud of it
Ok, so I didn't plan to cry on a jam game, excelent job guys, you made a real treasure here.
I think this is my favorite game from the jam so far!! I loved the gameplay and the interpretation of the them, it's so beautiful! Great work, and that ending ;--;
Nice job!!
I love this game so much, thank you for making it
Absolute highlight of the jam so far
I didn’t manage to make the jump to the second platform (it doesn’t seem solid) :/ Despite that, I loved my play session. The game is extremely cute, and the gameplay is creative and works perfectly!
ahh I encountered this bug once but didn’t have time to fix it during the jam (seems like it happens rarely but I can’t figure out exactly what causes it), sorry about that!
Played it together with my girlfriend and it got us both teary at the end. Lovely story, I really enjoyed it, also amazing interpretation of the theme!
Cute and heartfelt. This game could use some music to really bring it all together. It’s always cool to see what else people are building in GBStudio.
Super cool, like how you made it playable in the game boy, and the lack of music doesn't really hurt it, super charming and fun platformer game.
Super fun, took me a while to get used to the balloons mechanic (just too used to regular jumping I think). But was a nice challenge once I got that down, and the rooms were setup real nice to force you to move certain ways.
Overall really nice work, well done.
Fun and not too hard, but very cute idea. And yes, a little sad. But worth it!
Very cute artstyle. I love that you left colour pallete choice!
However, I didn't manage to see how this fits the jam's theme...
What a fun little platformer. I liked the story it told. Good job!
Great level design, could benefit from a bit more audio.
this is a really cool game!! i loved it
very cute game jam! the dog was old and the story was gold! i give it 5 GOLD stars!!!
A really sweet game, its a shame that there isn't a narrative category because you'd sweep it
A very cute and charming game. Goldie has so much character, and the balloon stacking mechanic creates some interesting platforming gameplay. I feel like this could be expanded into a brilliant puzzle platformer. Could use some music too!
