Had merge conflicts, initial upload was the most recent DEBUG build, was missing most of the actual level as well as the win/loss conditions so was basically unplayable. However, we had to get SOMETHING uploaded as we had 42 *seconds* left for the submission hour.

Sorry for the delay in uploads, finally got everything sorted and was able to get the proper completed, playable-ish version embedded.

Very short (?) unless there's a level bug. Great, fun movement!

Sorry you found this before it was really ready. It's still far from incomplete, but there's at least a proper win/loss condition and more than 2 enemies in what we were able to finish before the Jam. Thanks for checking it out anyway, and I'll be playing and rating others' games very soon, looking forward to checking yours out! 😄

Nice character animations, they really bring the main character to life

Came from the post! Totally understand the rush just before the deadline (have experience with that myself haha). Completed the full version. If I were to nitpick anything, is that it's really easy to fall and lose your whole progress. It took me 3 tries to find out that you can use JUMP while on ladders as it is not quite common in retro games :D.

Congrats on finishing the game!

Cool little game, I was able to win over the vuumbas! The shenanigans around the long ladder were quite evil though. :P

Nice platformer, i emptied my gun in the first couple of seconds until I realized it drains the energy. One of the ladder jumps is really hard :> I really liked the animations, that stood out immediately. Could have more polish and balancing, but its a jam after all.

Cool little game. I can def see potential, the vibe is nice! It'd be cool to be able to press esc to call the pause menu, but this is just a small detail lol. Also i agree with another comment that it’s really easy to fall and lose the whole progress. But overall nice job.

A very promising platformer. It would be so nice to see this with finished background and foreground elements etc. but the foundation is definitely there! The movement animations are solid and I really like the art style and could see the vision with where the style was going. I finished the game pretty fast but the mechanics worked just like they are meant to in platformers! Music was also a fun add along with the sfx. Good job on this one guys, epic that you made it even with the troubles in the end!

This game has good details. But it's hard for me to jump on the ladder. (Oh I did it!)

Cool little platformer, I managed to finish it ! It's maybe a bit too empty sometimes and it might need some checkpoints, but it's nice that you managed to fix things in the end despite the problems you encountered, nice job !

The jumping physics were hard for me but graphics and animations are amazing.

The gameplay is very interesting and has many unique designs. And it has a certain level of difficulty and playability. I think the game is very interesting in terms of its design.
