Great character art animation and start menu art! Very adorable and polished : )
The honeycomb jump mechanic and boss fighting were very difficult for a bad player
Also the artstyle with the flat colored shapes fits very well to the badger!
Run animations of the player and the insects are very nice too!

Controls are none standard so took me a bit to get used to. Good game though I liked it creative art direction.

Nice graphics, a good contribution.

The game seems fun, however, with my keyboard layout it is not very convenient to play (x and z are at the opposite sides of the keyboard) so I did stop at the first boss.

Also, I think I got a bug: I got hit by a red bullet while using the chameleon tongue for double jump, and I started to fly. I got stuck on the ceiling. By using the tongue again I have been able to stop flying however.

You have to do some finger acrobatics on a non-american keyboard. Other than that, great game! Nice graphics. I loved the jump mechanics.

Absolutely fantastic art style and vibe! The movement and gameplay felt natural and I loved coming across having to lick the honeycombs to jump. That bossfight took a couple of times, but the game had me hooked enough to fight (and lose to it 3 times before winning) it to the end.

The gameplay with the frog is really a good idea, it can be a good idea to use it in an other kind of game. Graphics are really cool !

I quite like the whip and title and character design and animation are great! The tutorial begin of level is interesting. Very quickly however the gameplay with the honeycombs to climb becomes very difficult!!
Also the trajectory of the "whip" is not very dynamic, could be a little more direct and straight like castlevania? It would feel better?

Eh-hey, a fellow Fusion dev!
The character and animations are really great! I really loved everything about the badger, and the chamele-gun is a neat idea! It's pretty clear you ended up running short on time; I had a look through the source and saw the other powerups you didn't get a chance to include. Still, what's there is a pretty solid start!

The animations were fluid and the game was quite enjoyable. The grub got me when I was trying to get those fruits in the upper right corner!

You submitted to my stream for me to play but left before I got to it but I still had a lot of fun with it! The characters were really charming and I loved the menu art especially! I defeated the boss and something fell, but then my character was stuck in a running animation D,: is there an ending that I’m missing out on?

Great work on your entry!

Nice game!
Animation is good. Maybe I woul put the jump on up arrow to feel more natural, but in our game we put it on space XD so I can not tell anything ahah
A,d maybe the gravity of the guy more heavy.
Otherwise efficient gameplay with the tongue of the cameleon (it is a cameleon right? I see frog in comments ^^)
Thank you for you game!

Nice one! Really nice looking, with great animations. Love the Chamele-gun! haha

I think it was a little difficult to control, didn't feel quite responsive enough. Especially with the honey jumping, and the low gravity. I did manage to defeat the boss after several tries though - definitely enjoyed that! However think there was some glitch where the character just kept running into the royal jelly and didn't go any further? Not sure if something was supposed to happen.

Great entry!
