CONTROLS: Left Stick - movement Right stick - beard control RB - Jump (You can double jump if You are quick) A - restart level or accept in menu situations
This edition i decided to take more relax aproach so i did less time coding more time having fun. I was doing everything alone and it was fun time even if i participate on Jam not Compo.
About Game:
You are Manly Man a woodcutter whose girlfriend (princess) was captured by Hunter and kidnapped to woods. Your goal is to get Your woman back ! And You need to use Your beard to accomplish that !
Mechanics: My Girlfriend gave me this idea about making a game about guy whose weapon is his beard. So i continue this idea to this mechanics.
- Your Beard can grow or shrink on demand - It's a deadly weapon - You can control it any direction - Enemies hurt You but when You eat bee's You gain health
Music/Sounds: In game there is only 1 ambient music/sound i didn't have time to create more.
That was pretty cool! I love beard weapon idea. It felt kind of weird moving the right stick back and forth to attack, but it got easier for me after a couple of tries. I'd recommend perhaps changing the attack mechanic so that pushing the right stick to one side makes the beard attack and retract once, rather than having full control (or maybe just give the beard more range). Enemy knockback would also help a lot. Great job, though! :)
I'm happy to report that my beard pedigree did not fail me.
As for feedback, the audio was a good fit for the atmosphere. High marks for theme as well. On the controls side I wish A was jump instead of RB. Also rapidly tapping a joystick to attack felt kind of awkward. Still, good job overall!
Haha I'd love how you control the beard with the right analog stick. That just felt right. I liked the work you put into the subtle lighting effects and such as well :)
Worked alright with my controller, but the beard would only go to the left or right. The art style is really cool and the beard idea is really weird but awesome.

If only the level was a little longer.
Also super cool mood and lighting.
