CAPY, need to migrate away from void monsters!.

--------------------------------

After years without participating in a gamejam, it was great to fell the emotion of a Ludum Dare again.
This time I, @thiagowaw, invited 2 of my friends who had never developed games before.

Our main goal was to produce something playable by the end of the event, so we decided it would be a platform game.

Initially, you would have 10 seconds to reach the end of the level, passing enemies without dying, or killing them. But we ended up with just one platform without participating in the jam theme.

THEME:
Unfortunately we couldn't implement the 10 second mechanic in time.
I'll post a post-jam version later.

It's fun! The jumps are a bit too tight for my liking but I managed somehow. Not sure if there was actually some kinda 10 seconds mechanic in the game or if the title is just a joke haha

I really enjoyed your art. The game works well with the jump mechanics, the music ends up with a small loop, but it's still cool. I missed what the 10-second mechanics would be. Congrats on the game.

Took me a few tries but finished the level. Nice little game, I really liked the character :)

Some things I ran into:
- some screen tearing with the ground textures
- jumping near the top of the level makes the camera stop following you, I would make it higher

Game starts very suddenly!
Loved the capybara pixel art, too bad that there was no theme relation besides the title :(

Nice platformer, I don't know what to do after the CP sign ? And I can't find why the capybara is a 10 seconds capybara

Best game jam game I've played yet! Good job!.

The art style is really nice and the music is good too. But I do not know what to do with CP sign, since there is no game description yet. Besides that, nice game.

The running animation of the capybara is mega cute!

I will do anything for the capybara.
Even play a platformer.

I.... completely failed to understand the 10 second theme though.

Everything about this was well done, aside from the 10s thing. =)

cool art style. I think the control of the jump can still be improved(e.g. adding a coyote time). animation is also cute! Nice!

Indeed, I bring the automobile to a halt, arrive gracefully at the continued celebrations.

Great platforming albeit a little short.
Could have used some sound effects in addition to music.
Graphics were good, the titular capybara and the enemies were animated nicely.

Thanks everyone for the feedback

The platformer itself is pretty good, tag me if you ever get a post jam version up as I'd let to try it. Nice attempt though!

This is really charming, your pixel arts on point, music loops well, and your platforming feels solid and not at all slidey. its unfortunate you didn't have enough time to implement the 10 second mechanic but I'd like to come back to it once you have time to flesh it out more. Our team loves pixel art platformers.

Lovely pixelart and music, it's unfortunate you didn't have the time to implement the theme into your game! Also the game window isn't resizable and cannot be fullscreened.

Good game. Beautiful graphics, groovy music and a wonderful capybara 🥰 It's a pity that the game is short and you didn't have time to implement the 10 second theme. But I think you did an excellent job 😊
