Wow, this game is great! I love the style, the story, the game mechanics and the archievements! But the best part is the alien and the cute singing~ <3 Excellent! Your making of was also enjoyable to read :)
Thank you so much for supporting my game! I’m so happy to hear you loved it and that you also enjoyed the PDF book. Thank you!!
Hey, I enjoyed the game and did a few runs of it,
Hey! This is super cool! I love it that you gave yourself a speed challenge in the game.
If I can figure out a way to skip the cutscenes, you’d be able to go even faster!
Thanks for making a video and for playing! Really appreciate it.
Great job for both, the game and the making of ! We need more of this in the community !
Thank you for your kind words and support! It’s very motivating for me!
Collecting is fun, graphics is nice, really impressive. The fact that it's tile based makes diagonal platforms a bit of a chore to go through but that's hardware limitation. And I can't go past certain potin, where you collect rat/mouse. No idea what to do, I tried jumping off the crate on the platform or jumping from crate after dropping it, I can't make it to the other side :(
Hey! Thanks so much for playing the game! I’m working on new updates and hope you check it out again when I release a new version
I’m sorry you couldn’t progress paste the rat stage but here’s a tip: after pushing the top crate to the bottom, jump from that crate and try to catch the rope. Climb to the top of the rope to the platform up top and jump to the other side :) hope this helps!!
I really liked what I played. Collecting specimen is cool and I especially liked the small speech bubbles, as they made the game feel unique.
I’m glad you liked what you played. Thank you for your nice words!
