Lousy Life Lessons - [LLL]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pawel Purrlovski is your man for exceptional jobs.
But he's not just burning (literally) with the desire to perform the most daring stunts ever, but also to finally be with the love of his life.
A love so deep, he will go to hell and back, just to brag about it.
Experience a story, so action packed and full of passion, you will get emotional whiplash from it (or even acutal whiplash, depending on the quality of your chair).
Join Pawel on a journey trough his nine lifes and witness a whirlwind of love, passion and explosions!
Nine lifes - one decision
In the end there is always a price to be paid.

The only problem I did come across, which is a common Unity thing, getting stuck on the side of platforms was a thing occasionally, it was a blemish on what I can only describe as a perfect game.
I felt like the gameplay was a bit fiddly with regards to controls (or maybe I'm just not skilled enough). Not sure exactly what it was, but it felt more difficult than it should be.
The production quality is outstanding, voice acting, art, illumination, everything!
I have to admit that I found the controls a bit frustrating sometimes (small platforms, fast movement and short jump), but I kept playing to reach the end of the story... that said i am not a platformer person and i tend to struggle anyway.
Congratz, among the most polished submissions i played so far!
Graphics is stunning and I love the central-europeanish english of the main character (cartacter?).
I'm also amazed about how you manage to match the super-classic agility platform game in a very strict narrative frame.
Hats off!
Our artists are very happy about it! (actually, they're starting to demand ridiculous things like coffee breaks and time to sleep, so please stop! You're giving them a sense of confidence that we can't afford right now!)
@ioleoso
thanks for the feedback! The "noir" thing was something we wanted to to for a while now and we just thought a "central-europeanish" accent would fit with that, glad you liked it, too!
@tinykidtoo
thank you for the bug report. We ran into the same issue, but didn't have the time to fix everything right away.
Hopefully our post jam version won't have the same problems.
And very cool, that you appreciated that "impact crater" line. I was hoping someone would pick up on that, so thank you very much:)
The art is beautiful, the music, the voice recording, everything make a great atmosphere!
Thank you for making this game !
Good job guys! One of the best entries I played so far

Over all one of the better Jam games I have played. Well done, I hope you all do well. Might think about turning this into the real money making deal.
