Cool entry! My biggest recommendation other than music would have been a quick KillSelf button for when you missed.
The character art is adorable btw!
Great work!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I actually am releasing an update by tomorrow to clean up a lot of the rough edges on gameplay experience and I'm hoping it will fix a lot of issues
Man, this brings me back to the Donkey Kong Country days...
Overall a nice game, but the time it takes to respawn and the camera being way too close to the character whenever you're in a barrel takes it down a couple notches :/
Good job !
Very fun game! Takes a little bit too long for respawning but overall interesting game concept.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for trying it!
Nice game! I would say the main issue is that there's too much time between dying and respawning. This can be a problem since many barrels require multiple tries. It's also a bit odd that the player doesn't carry on much of its velocity when it jumps. It would also help to move the background a little bit relative to the player, in addition to zooming in/out to give the scene more depth. Just my opinion though! :)
Thank you very much for the feedback, I'm still working on an update to improve a lot of those aspects you mentioned! The velocity loss is a toss up of i keep it, one hand it gives the player more fine tuned control, on the other it doesn't feel very natural.
Fine concept
Too bad this is a bit too much out of theme.
I wish for a future where a cat ball like creatures soar through the skies traveling by barrels, too.
Really enjoyable, good job!
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes the theme is a bit off, when I read the rules it didn't state anything other than the color palette requirement, so I didn't actually realize it was future themed (even though it says it's not necessary) until I logged on to "join" the jam and publish it. Oops!
