We were able to make 6 levels for the Ludum Dare this time, though we wanted to have more. Let us know what you think.

ps: Some people reported problems when playing in full screen mode. If that happens to you, please tick the windowed mode box in the launcher
ps: Due to HMTL5 issues/compatibility issues between browser, the least recommended version is the Web one. Grab the executables and experience the game to its fullest :D

Cute and fun! A nice autorunner. However, I had some confusion at first because the right-shift key was not activating the hook.

I had fun with this! It was cool to try to get every berry in the level. I did have trouble with the level that has steps, but I figured out the solution eventually. Nice work! Thanks for sharing and congrats on finishing!

The web versions controls are a little mushy, but I love the theme and the level design is good. Great job!

Really cute game! I love the graphics. I wished there was a sound when collecting the strawberries and the checkpoints were a bit too frequent. Great game though! =D

GOTTA GO F... ahem...

Nice work =)
The graphics are well done, and the hook mechanic too. Also, I really liked the "jump and become a ball" touch ^^

Gostei.

I liked graphics the most but I think especially for a jam entry it's quite short. Another problem was that it wasn't challenging enough but I guess that's also because of the length. There could be more challenging levels later on. Mechanics are not so original I'm sorry but this could be a mobile game and maybe even a popular one.

Awesome music! Encountered a few bugs with the hook shot staying out or freezing the player at the edges of platforms. Love the art and idea!
