Super amazing work honestly. I strugged hardcore with this theme, but you seem to have really made it something special.
Everything felt nice, even though I ended up falling in the same underground cave hole like 5 times (skill issue) I had a lot of fun playing through this one
loved this! Basically everything about. Just would’ve liked a map :)
Thanks for the feedback! We'll look into adding a map post-jam
A little generic but really good execution the art is amazing, and the music was just as good the only thing with the art was the mushroom bounce stretches and interrupts the pixel density, I only noticed cuz I stared at it a long time to find something wrong/different.
Great job guys ;)
Thanks for the feedback! The mushroom sprite wasn't fully animated. It was scaled due to time constraint. Rest assured that we'll have it fixed asap :)
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it :)
Great game! I like that it's not as hard as the other Metroidvanias, but it's still very fun and challenging to explore.
I really loved the art style, sound design and the atmosphere of the game. Reminded me a little of hollow knight with the critter theme and underground start.
The Web GL build for some reason didn’t work for me. It opened in a separate window and only showed pure red with no UI.
I downloaded the Windows version and played it until I didn’t know how to proceed any more. It was sometimes hard for me to distiniguish interactable items from non-interactable ones (like leaves with some bites left vs. used up ones or climbable vs non-climbable mushrooms).
Still a really nice submission with a great story idea. I love the interpretation of the theme.
Thank you for the feedback! We will get back on those issues asap.
Love this game. An originally well made metroidvania
Love the cozy atmosphere of the game! Also, the platforming has a level of challenge but it doesn't go to appoint of impacting the game in a negative sense.
Love it!
Really interesting game concept! I felt the platforming had a fantastic balance between challenging but not so much so that it felt annoying when I missed a jump and lost some progress. Additionally, the art and soundtrack go together very well so really good job on that!
I do have one nitpick though, and that is with the itch page saying "Holometabola is a type of metamorphosis found in certain insects..." In reality Holometabola is the superorder of insects that are holometabolous, meaning they undergo a complete metamorphosis. But that little description discrepancy really isn't much of an issue :)
Again, really awesome submission to this jam! :D
