Good graphics, nice animations. I like the music. Didn't get how it was related to the theme. Great job.

Loved the game!!! :D Sorry I couldn't make it for the streams, I was with JoltJab making a game lol

Valmay1 Aug 2017, 13:07

I love it~ so funky :D

mspawa1 Aug 2017, 21:27

I like the art and the music. But I think it is a little far from the main LD theme...
Anyway I really enjoyed it :) Nice work!

Pretty great showcase of what can be done in such a short amount of time! Some of the checkpoints could have been placed a bit differently in my opinion but other than that it was quite fun :D

This was really great experience! Kinda sad for sound not being yours, but graphics are top-notch, gameplay is very smooth and as I said to few, I'm really into puzzle games so you hit the mark for me :)

Very fun experience, good job guys!

Watched the stream while it was being made. Looks great and plays really well. Very impressive for just 3 days! !saykeepitup

Gorgeous art and animation and gameplay is solid too, great game!

Togis2 Aug 2017, 06:18

I uploaded my gameplay of this game on youtube, you can find it here

Thanks for being part of the stream :)

I had this on stream. Again, I really enjoyed this game a ton! Lots of personality in it and a very good vibe. Nice job!

Great game! Graphics rock! (or funk! i shoud say) Level design is very good, but there was one spot, where i had to pause and restart, because there was no way of dying or getting out. Ladder climbing should be little slower, because speed doesn't fit animation. Thanks for stream Lumpy, I spend way too much time watching it :D

Interesting take on "running out of power." I really enjoyed it!

cihy2 Aug 2017, 14:13

God bless you and all of your relatives for the sound bar.
I had fun playing that game, original and fun idea, although I have problems where's the "running out of power" part. Also when I died the sound was glitching.

Hey GamesplusJams and Lumpy. The art was great, the gameplay fun, and the beats were funky! I had a good time playing it! Who made the music?

TheFlyingKeyboard2 Aug 2017, 16:24

Really nice game with awesome concept of gameplay. Graphics and animations are perfect, probably the best one I've seen so far. I think that adding parallax effect to the background image would make this game even more fun.

Lamm3 Aug 2017, 02:43

Great Game, GamesPlusJames your game is awesome. The music and graphics are fantastic

Souvik Datta3 Aug 2017, 16:00

Awesome platformer game.

Mike Cullingham3 Aug 2017, 16:03

Cool music and excellent graphics. Funny interpretation of the theme. Very nice job.

Thrainsa3 Aug 2017, 17:41

Really nice plateformer. I like this type of game with small puzzle to solve. The music was really nice. I would only change the sound when you died :p

Great Job ;)

Very fun(ky) platformer! The art is amazing - Boomwalker and the Animals are the the best looking character designs I've seen in a game jam.

Fine platformer! Jumping and edge assist is a bit clunky and I got stuck a few times (although game is actively encouraging you to kill yourself when stuck, in some situations it's impossible, so, I guess, a separate restart button won't hurt). But style and overall groovy atmosphere more than offset this.
Had a pleasant time playing this, thanks!

Very unique, interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUVd1KNAvFY
