Well deserved :)

thx

no prob can you check out my newest release it is called dino vs. zombie i would really appreciate it!

(+1)

(+1)

does going through the docks get you anything? I brute forced my way there and want to know whether or not I am wasting my time.

I think I softlocked myself in the room just after that painful fire room with the berry, there is no way back and the room seems impossible unless you enter from beneath.

It's possible you missed an exit at the upper left part of the room

The upper left is just... the entrance. Did I navigate through the game wrong and come in the opposite side?


EDIT: Oh my god forgive me. There was an exit in the upper left, I thought I tried going there but I didn't

(+2)

It was super fun doing Perma Death!! 0 deaths on the last screen but there were 3 on the second to last screen

(+2)

wtf

how are you so consistent?

(+1)

Just played a bunch lol. Slammed my head into a brick wall until it broke

(+1)

haha lmao

wish there was debug mode like celeste, it makes these stuff easier

Amazing, challenging and quite original game! Great mechanics, graphics and atmosphere. Five star.

Done in 53:24 (8 berries)

Wow. What a good game! Controls were really smooth (once i got used to the controls; i usually use wasd because i’m left handed)

Had so much fun with this game. Screens were in increasing difficulty, and the berries were really fun to get! i actually had fun getting all 9 “normal” berries (because i suspect there’s another berry for finishing the game deathless).

Only complaint would be to have an option to rebind the controls. I personally would prefer ad to move, w to jump, space to teleport (and i’m sure many people have other prefered buttons). It didn’t make the game really tough to play, but i did have moments where i raged because  i messed up z and x, or used wasd instead of arrow keys in the deathless challenge. Still great game though!

(+2)

Wait… are there 10 berries? I think there may be one if you do the whole map deathless. Could anyone confirm?

(+3)

It’s a small detail, but thanks for coyote frames!

(+2)

do you have the .p8 file wanna play it on my handheld?

(+1)

Here you go :) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tkbPbZoEiKVpg8g7MXCf_b7KDFGYiF2x/view?usp=shari...

Great game! They're very different games, but this definitely gives me Celeste vibes. Fun little puzzle game, liked having to work things out as I went. After restarting a few times because I had missed some berries, I started to get a feel for the levels. Doubt I can make it much further than the mines on permadeath though. Permadeath is brutal. Not only do you have to avoid dying, but you also need to make sure you don't do things out of sequence. If you use up a bouncer or the teleporter and can't reach the entrance, you're done for. At least you don't have to collect the berries (assuming you got them all beforehand).

(+1)

Is there a berry for that? I may go for it…

(+2)

gives me celeste vibes :)

(+2)

Great game, inspired mechanics, once you get a hold of the mechanics it just clicks, and that's great level design. I didn't get all berries, but was still fun getting them.

(+2)

Brillant game! Embracingly it took me like 5 mins to figure out that I could teleport & jump at the same time xD

(+2)

game engine?

Pico-8

Feels great to control. The mechanics are so clever and I love the way the challenges build on previous ideas as it goes on.

(+1)

Not So bad

7/10

Incredible game, very well done ! And so juicy animations I love it.

(+1)

Great game, very fun, great art!

(+1)

Super fun, nice art, super level design, and good controls. I did a first fun 10min game, and could come back to speedrun a bit ! Thanks !

how to get player 2?

absolutely brilliant <3

(+1)

Awesome game! The puzzle and precision elements were very well balanced, an i love the art.

(+1)

                                                      Hey I got all 9 berries!

(+1)

Awesome game! Love this 4real. Super smart puzzles and usage of the teleportation mechanic like I've never seen before. 

(1 edit) (+3)

What a thorough delight in every way. At first I thought there was no way I'd make any progress at all, but then it just clicked and I amazed myself by completing it. That's good game design! And the final screens are wonderful. Psyched to see what you do next. 

(+1)

neat idea!

(+1)
creative! awesome!

Adorable and clever but too twitchy for my old man reflexes.

Is a little hard to get in through at the beginning  

(+1)

Cool
