Aside from the silly theme the controls could really use a lot more work!
The character looked good. If monsters and items would have followed the same kind of 3d style it would have looked spectacular.
After all, it's a good entry ^-^
I felt like however the falling movement was done was a bit stuttery, and I got stuck by accidentally cornering the block. I also would like the music to not restart every time I change menus. Aside from that, I thought it was good. The art and music were great!
Apart from that, the audio is nice, graphics are good. I think you made a pretty tight game given the time you were given, and except from this punishing game design I quoted, your game plays really good ! Good job :)
Graphics are reasonably good and the fart rocket is fairly satisfying from a control point of view (if a bit overpowered as someone else noted).
I really thought the first box should be pushed onto the alien's head so I could get to the bright-red valve thing against the wall... imagine my surprise when I do what seemed like the obvious thing and get a game over?! Maybe consider using the bright colours for the intractable elements next time and rather have background elements be in the background.
Once I figured out the boxes and buttons my next pain point was just running out of farts repeatedly leading to a game over - I understand that you did it, because likely the player was now in a situation now where they couldn't finish, but sometimes I was just going to fetch more food and would've been fine, so it felt a bit punishing... Having to manually skip the tutorial each time didn't help.
Save points or a more forgiving fart mechanic could maybe help with this. Maybe a continuous fart bar that runs out the longer you press it, that charges up to a minimum point automatically (for small jumps), but that needs food to be fully charged.
Would be nice if you didn't have to go through the tutorial every time you died. The character movement was a bit too floaty and bugged out on edges a bit. Not a big fat of toilet humor personally, so overall it's not the type of game that appeals to me, but the execution was pretty good overall. Nice entry.
