Really good, loved everything about it! I got 178 stars, is that the max? It just needed some kind of music :)

Developer

Hey, thank you!

Yeah it definitely needs music, but unfortunately PICO-8 pretty much requires you to make your own and my brain could not muster it in the last hour or so I had left. (It also didn't help that I didn't have time to actually start the jam until Saturday.)

And when I went through and attempted a perfect run I got 178 too, so I think you did it! (I admittedly wasn't counting the stars as I placed them in the editor.)

That last level was tedious!

It's a nice game. The mechanics are solid, and level-design pleasant while challenging. The pixel-art is also lovely. I liked it!

Developer

Well, yeah, a solo dev under tight time constraints, trying to make a challenging  final level, and not having time to playtest with anyone else does tend to lean towards overly tricky :P

Glad it wasn't too much to make you dislike the rest of it though!

I enjoyed this, simple but well executed!

It's my first time to see someone use PICO-8. Amazing! Here are my comments:

> The gameplay is pretty solid! Addictive and challenging but not in an unfair way.

> The art is also well-done! Very cute.

> Gives off an arcade-y feel. Nice.

I managed to complete all the levels of the game. Good job man!

P.S. Please consider giving feedback on our game as well, as we are in need of more ratings. /jam/gmtk-2018/rate/300343

Not bad, cute pixel art but baloons are not supposed to be bad ;(

While I do like the gameplay and arstyle, I can't help but think this seems less like a platformer with platforms removed and more like Flappy Bird with steering added.

That's really my only complaint, though.

Really cute game! It reminds me a little of Flappy Bird, but with less frustration haha
Good job!

Really cute little game. I enjoyed it a lot. Also - it was really fun to come across a PICO-8 game among the entries! Great work. 

Developer

Aw, glad you liked it!

And yeah I'm actually kinda surprised how few PICO-8 submissions there seem to have been for this.  Based on the recent games with the PICO-8 tag it looks like there were 4 others submitted to the GMTK Jam, but I haven't seen any of them on the PICO-8 forums (despite there usually being a flood of them for things like Ludum Dare jams).

Very nice idea, and varying level designs, Great Job!

Really nice game.

I love that you can aim where you want to go that give a really nice agency for the player. You can be careful or more reckless. At first I was really not sold on the concept because I thought it would be a flappy bird or balloon fight like, but the aiming system really show how you solve the platformer without platform conundrum in an unique way.

I didn't go far because I was focused too much on getting all the stars.  ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

Hey, thank you! Glad I managed to make it distinct enough!

Better one i've played so far. The graphics (although you only have 2 days to do it) are simply beautiful. As it is a very simple idea, the game has no errors. It's really fun and it reminds to flappy bird, but way better. Hope this turns into a mobile game, i would download it instantly. 5/5

sorry for the crappy english xd

Developer

Hey, thanks so much for the kind words!
