Guy is late for school by phi

Help him get to school before 8 am!
The original concept we had thought of had a more clear connection to the theme than what we ended up doing. We decided it's better to create a fun game than to adhere to the theme by all means.
Thank you for playing! :)

(+ you said cacti at the end)
I like how the mood changes when you are late, and how it feels like I caused the title to be true by being too slow. It makes me wonder if you can actually get there in time...
Love the sound and screen tilt effect when the boi is super tall
Concerning the graphics you did a great job, the graphics is so simple but at the same time so beautiful. It fits so well with this kind of gameplay.
Concerning the audio, the music loop is great. But the thing i liked the most were the big stomp sound effects. It was so satisfying.
Overall I like this game so much. I had an amazing time playing it. This kind of game mechanic is so innovative I haven't seen It around in any other games! I can’t believe this haven’t got more votes than this! This deserves better! Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!
(Another thing, I got to school exactly when it began.)

However, I'm afraid you may have been between 0 and 0.5 seconds too late for school... The number of seconds is rounded, but it should appear as green text if you've made it in time ;) But I'll let it slide, congrats :P
This was an interesting game and it had a concept that I'd never seen before, I liked the idea that consuming multiple potions would make you grow even more and I loved the thud sound as well as screen shake that you got when you were massive. The soundtrack was very nice and the sound effects were funny.
###How to improve:
Obviously, there's some room for improvement with the graphics of the person but aside from that, I'd recommend making the foot move faster as to make the game faster paced and harder to give the "late for school" feel to it.
But overall, it was a great and hilarious game, well done.
Not much to criticize. The graphics were a bit simplistic for a Jam game, but the character motion was very charming. Controls were nice and intuitive and allowed for fast and slow motion depending on your surroundings. I would have appreciated a slightly stronger camera shift to see upcoming obstacles sooner. That would have allowed to walk with fast strides more without fear that a house might appear out of nowhere.
The music is very nice, but the sound effects could have been chosen a bit more carefully to support the humor better.
All in all a very funny and fun entry.
