The sound effects were nice, but some music would've tied the game together! I like the art too, the character has some fun hair. Nice work!
I feel like there was more story there that will just remain a mystery :)
There were some minor things you could improve on for next time. I had a little bit of tearing on the map tiles (you can do something like extrude the tiles out a space. Here's an example utility https://github.com/sporadic-labs/tile-extruder). Also, it would have been nice to have another set of animations for when the guy is carrying things :)
@fronwewq Haha, that block-jump mechanic was totally unintentional. I didn't discover it myself until a couple hours before submitting and had no idea how to fix it. So I'll just call it a "speed-running strategy" :)
@blobo Thanks. I'm pretty inexperienced with pixel art and I'm happy/surprised at how well that character came out.
@minibobbo Thanks for that suggestion, it never occurred to me to stretch out the edges of the tiles a little bit to prevent gaps.
I don't have much else to say other than that some more stages and mechanics would be cool, but that's true of just about any game jam game, my own included. Good work overall.
Cool little game! Fun gameplay, at many times I was just entering doors and piling boxes, lost, hopeless, but things ended built to my exit.
I Liked the graphics, proper sounds and nice touch of humor on this evil sign (why it behaves like this tho? 😁)
Nice job!
