It's high noon :cowboy:

My advice would be to continue to improve on the platforming controls of the character. Making them a bit easier to control would go a long way.

@outer-cloud-studio Thanks for your feedback!We work at control now and will add it a bit later. We will wait for you again!

Music was nice and funny, but I disliked wall jumping, it was very random or hit/miss. I liked how you made progression through levels (by going to the lower level) and I also liked your secret message on the clouds :D

Sausages are good!

Very fanny game! I like to be tumbleweed

@apoly Thanks for your feedback! We are working on the controls and will wait for you again a bit later! (glad you liked the secret message on the top ;))

The unpredictability of the game fascinates me

milq9 Apr 2025, 09:14

Wow! I absolutely love this kind of game! I honestly didn't expect to descend from the heavens as a bush, literally, to collect sausages :smile:. The level design is really well done, and I really enjoyed the downward movement mechanic. Maybe I'd add one or two more mechanics, but overall, huge kudos for the game, it made me laugh and I had a blast. Great game!

FoxEcho9 Apr 2025, 09:18

Music and visuals are solid, and I like how the tumbleweed design connects with the movement. Wall-jumping upwards was a bit tricky to handle, though—could use a bit of tweaking. Still, good job!

@milq Thanks for feedback! We really happy that you liked the idea, maybe in future we update game with few mor mechanics ❤️

ArenAvgustauthor9 Apr 2025, 09:26

@foxecho Thanks for your feedback ! We will update movement later, so we will wait for you! ❤️

Not enough Saseges. Fun game, well done xD !

ArenAvgustauthor9 Apr 2025, 09:44

@dandee Thanks for your feedback! Ha-ha! Maybe we need to make more sausages in 1st level XD

Vani9 Apr 2025, 11:06

This was so nice! Good luck at college!

ArenAvgustauthor9 Apr 2025, 11:07

@vani Thanks for your feedback! Thanks ❤️

Tugaryn9 Apr 2025, 11:36

It's complicated
I didn't quite understand how to play the game, how to jump correctly.
It feels like it's random. I couldn't figure it out.
Really like the style and sauce!
Well done

Dywanix9 Apr 2025, 14:57

Really cool idea!

LDJam user 3376979 Apr 2025, 16:06

This was delightfully bizarre in the best way! Rolling around as a bush collecting sausages made me laugh, and the quirky commentary really added to the charm. The music was nice and fit the vibe well. The jumping felt a bit unpredictable at times, which made some parts frustrating. But overall, it's a fun and memorable little experience. Bush life is wild!

Thank you for the sausege :pray:

The wall jump was a bit confusing and I noticed one cloud where I died on for no reason, maybe a spike that wasnt displayed idk. But other than that it was a nice chill platformer. After a day at work its nice to turn off the brain for a second

Game looks promising, with good graphics, but I got stuck after many tries trying to scale the walls. Every now and then I succeed in jumping up while sticking to a wall, but it's too rare to get far in the game. If there is a trick to it, please explain.

Saryah24 Apr 2025, 02:03

I struggled a lot with the wall jump, however I loved the visuals and well chosen audio. Running around as a tumbleweed was really fun!

Dyl K24 Apr 2025, 17:36

Making the player character a tumbleweed is a really fun concept! Kinda reminds me of that movie Rubber about a tire with agency, I could definitely see how this could be expanded with more mechanics in the future!
