I like it! Beat the game in about 20 min. I think the punishment for failure is a little high in some places. A one hit KO is pretty punishing, especially when you need to restart from a checkpoint really far away. I think this could have benefited from a life system, beginning of room checkpoint system, or both. Another note, you need to hold down the run button to wall jump up the same side of a wall which is not well explained. Also, the run button is only beneficial, leading to it being held down the entire time while playing. I think removing the run button and setting the player base speed to the run speed would be better (less finger fatigue). Overall, nice game! I think I will try hard mode soon.
Thanks for your feedback. I'll add an optional "speedrun" toggle that enables auto run for those that want it. Sometimes people want the slower speed to make it easier for them to platform. Thanks for playing!
Beaten in 22:40! Just an incredible GB Studio game, maybe the best 2 bit graphics I've ever seen and very solid gameplay. The metacommentary was actually funny too.
Oh well, got like 23 eggs, went left to looj at the final boss. and likely cant return anymore. so no perfect score for me :-/ Also boss is hard, making and beating his final form at least is
Nah, you can return to the main area and keep looking for lost eggs after you head left to the final boss section of the game. Just head back or kill yourself to spawn back at the checkpoint in the main area. As long as you don't reach the final checkpoint right before the actual Boss fight, you can keep looking. But it's a great first effort. It's not typical to find them all on a first playthrough, it's an optional challenge to give a little replay value.
The game has an inbuilt timer and shows your time at the end, so you can always replay for a 100% speedrun ;)
Or try hard mode. That is some pretty intense platforming!
that eye thing seems pretty impossible to get past as the wall jump doesnt work sometimes and its too fast to dodge so im giving up , shame as the rest of the game is top notch , well done
Just gotta keep practicing to get more proficient with how the PC handles, no doubt that mini boss is a difficulty spike, though. Ill take a deeper look into how the controls feel and work code wise post jam when I have more time. Cheers for your feedback!
v1.1 should address the issue you were having. The wall jump was working fine, but sometimes the wall kick wasn't executing - which may have felt like you were getting short changed. Anyway, the wall kick bug is fixed now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I think I'm about half way through by now, it's really awesome. I love the vibes and the graphics are so perfect. It's been fun collecting the eggs so I can get new pallettes. W

Thanks! So glad to hear you enjoyed it so much.
Very nice game.
Just beat it in 60:00 (!), 136 deaths and all eggs.
Good job!
Thanks! 60 mins is the max time displayed. I can look into an update later that provides an hour counter so it's more accurate.
I beat the game AND got all of the eggs! I'm only on normal mode, though, but it was still a challenge.
Nice job! Enjoy the bonus mode. Its a bit easier than normal IMO ;)

"As long as you don't reach the final checkpoint right before the actual Boss fight"
Well, about that... :-(
Managed to accidentally reset the game on controller when in the pause menu. I'm not retreading this ground.
Decent work otherwise.
That's too bad, you can save in the map screen (Once you get your first soul).
also having to hold the run key down all the time is a pain , surely there is a better way to speed up movement ? ie dash ?

Nice one. I was using my own 3DS to test it out, actually. GameYob is surprisingly a really solid emulator. Enjoy!

Looks amazing dude. Super Cool.
I learned about all the neat things that the internet has to offer, then I destroyed them. 😈
The game is hard, but is very fun! The music is amazing and makes me feel like a hand-man with nothing to lose.
