Very cool concept. I skated about as well as an alligator skeleton should.

Really solid game! Congrats on getting all this together. Music was a perfect background for running an oil tycoon! I agree a tutorial could help, but I was able to figure everything out - which I think says a lot about the design (good things!). Layout is also super cool - very nostalgic - and I appreciated fine details like changing music, speeding up time, etc. Great job!
Nice job! Music was very fitting. I like the design and layout of everything - simple, but effective. You even put in an icon for the game - feel like that's an oft-neglected detail in jams! It took me a minute to learn there was a double jump but that was a big "Ah-Ha!" moment. I like the purple palette / cave-like feel, but platforms blend in with the ground and it was tough to have a sense of depth in some areas? Fun over all though!
Nice job! Don't know if it was intended, but the terrain movement with the camera is super disorientating but honestly, a cool effect. I might've missed it but putting controls somewhere would've helped - and a way back to the main menu from the game. If you're going to expand on this, I would try to incorporate mouse input or something for the right hand to do - it was a lot on one hand. I think it's a cool concept though - glad to see others tried the 2D/3D mix!
I had to wait to play this - I think traffic was crazy the first couple days after the jam and things were choppy. Glad I came back to it though - this is amazing! The little details like plant rotations when you interact with them are perfect. I wouldn't mind a slightly faster scroll speed and longer audio track but I also feel really nitpicky saying that. You have a wonderful product and, as an educator, I see so much potential in something like this. Keep it up!
