Someone has set the whole forest on fire! All of the animals are in danger and only Detective Nick Furry can find the culprit behind this case. Join our little fox detective on a platform journey filled with tricky puzzles and funny animals and find all of the clues and the loop hidden in the game.
Controls:
- A/D - Movement - Space - Jump - I - Open Inventory - E - Make trees fall - W/S - Change the forest layer
The game was made for Ludum Dare 47. All the artwork was done by the team behind this game. All the sounds in this game are from open sounds websites.
We are aware that jumping in our game is pretty stiff and we're going to work on it. If you are willing to give our game a second chance, please don't hesitate to join our Discord server where we are going to post updates once we start our game's rework! https://discord.gg/gW3tdrb
I really love the fox :) The jump'n'run mechanics seem a bit off. It was pretty hard for me to move through the game. Apart from that a really good game!
Controls are really hard. You have to push the arrow (left, right) first, before you jump. This makes it really hard to control. Also I got stuck under a moving platform and pushed out of the screen.
Love the forest layers! As mentioned before, jumping is tricky. Giving some control over the little fella in mid air would defy physics, for sure, but it would make the game a lot easier to play :)
Seems like you may have a good detective game here but I'm struggling to get to the puzzling bit because of the controls. Particularly the jump not allowing forward momentum. Its a shame though as I was looking forward to seeing what the detective story was all about
The fox is so cute and I really like the idea! I also enjoy the artsytle, however, sometimes it was difficult to see the game elements like plattforms. As others already said, I also had some problems with the controls especially the jump mechanics. Overall, a very solid and cute game for the jam. Good work!
It's a nice submission, but there are some problems: 1. Movement feels clunky and it lacks of control. 2. Obstacles aren't contrast enough with background.
· The jump is an utter torture, please make it horizontally controlable mid air, and/or adjustable in height by pressing the button. Also making it a bit faster wouldn't hurt (try x2 or x3 times faster)
I didn't get the loop theme because I couldn't get used to the jump, but I see there's an inventory with evidence and you can pick up items, and you can like swap planes, I really wanted to see what the evidence mechanic was going to unwrap in the platforming action, so if you fix the jump please let me know so I can try to play it again.
Overall nice work! Don't let the jump obscure all the hard work, fix it so we can enjoy your vision, it looks like it has potential!
As you told me, we have the same problem with the controls, it seems like you could've tweaked the gravity value of Nick Furry (an awesome name!) to make it fall faster, but who knows, I'm awfull at game physics. Overall the art looks pretty nice as for the background giving a nice mood to the adventure, the change between layers feels nice.

The controls are a bit weird though. You lose all control over your character when you jump, making it very hard to jump precisely.
Other than that, very nice game!
Also I got stuck under a moving platform and pushed out of the screen.
Mood is nice.
