Nice graphics + presentation! I managed to get 12 coins! The camera sensitivity was kinda crazy though, so a sensitivity option would have been a good addition.

I'll never pay off these loans with 7 coins! Very beautiful pixel textures! I had fun playing this, but I do wish the camera had been at a different angle. Surprising how many times I could jump!

Pretty neat! I only got 7 coins...

I liked the helicopter view of the player! The controls took a bit of getting used to, but after you master it it feels good to anime jump from rubble to rubble trying to stay afloat lol

This is so cool, sick game. Only complaint is that the moving the camera felt sluggish online for some reason. 5 stars it's the best ive ever played in ludum

So much fun! I could only find around 8-12 coins each time before everything was in the ocean. Art is awesome! Also a ton of fun jumping around the map!

I liked the presentation and though the controls felt finicky I found it was more consistent and fun to play than i'd expect. Low-poly graphics are always my cup of tea. It wasn't clear to me how the turrets were helping, but I didn't play long enough to see the meter at the bottom drop to zero, assuming that's the helicopter's health. I might suggest putting together a more clearly defined and communicated gameplay loop, but I think for what it is this game was fun to play and nicely chaotic

I love the art style and overall presentation, and running around fixing turrets in a crumbling oil rig was surprisingly interesting. The helicopter camera was sick, and the jumping mechanics were neat. I was able to jump and double jump while on walls, meaning I could essentially infinite climb to get to cool places which turned out to be really fun. Biggest complaint is the floatiness of the controls. The movement doesn't feel snappy, everything felt like an ice level in a Mario game. Even the camera wasn't snappy. I like how you let players change the sensitivity, but the mouse floatiness doesn't change at all.

Overall I had a lot of fun despite some minor stuff that took getting used to. Good game!

26 coins! I love the low-poly + pixel art style you've got going on here. The game is fast paced and it's very fun being able to double jump around the place. I have no idea how you managed to break the level apart like that, but it's very impressive!

I definitely think this could be some sort of fun multiplayer game bouncing around trying to grab the coins before the others.

Fun! The screenshots drew me in and the actual game was as ridiculous as I'd hoped.

I really liked the way that the platform you are on is slowly destroyed and falls into the ocean. The sound effects were a little loud and repetitive and the controls were difficult. I would have liked to feel like my character had a little more weight because I was sliding around like I was on ice. I also clipped through a wall and fell through the floor to my death once. It nearly happened a second time but I managed to clip myself back in bounds.

I really liked the double jump and the general feel of movement in the game. The art, too, was impressive for such a short time period. Nicely done!

I really like how the game looks. Being able to control the mouse sensitivity was a well needed touch. Good work! Also the other camera looked great!

I wasn't really able to fight the helicopter. I fought the controls :)
Destructions are cool and the graphics is nice too.

Great game! Love the visual and audio design. The level reminds me of MGS2 and really liked the environmental destruction. My only piece of feedback is to consider starting the player closer to the center of the level. In my first go at the game, I instantly did a 180 and ran off the map haha. Tho that was also partially due to the mouse sensitivity.

The graphics are pretty but I kept falling off the map, maybe I'm not very good at the game haha but I found it quite difficult to control

Damn vampire helicopters I hate when those show up haha. Great graphics and animations. I liked the sound fx too. Controls were pretty hard for me to get used to but I think that's just a fine tuning thing. I'm still trying to defeat that helicopter.

Wow, the artstyle is great. I loved the character art. The camera felt a little bit hard to control, and the jumps were huge. I wasn't able to get many coins so I guess I'll be in debt forever :') Great game!

Easy to pick up, intuitive gameplay, does get a bit too crazy with everything falling apart, and the default sensitivity is a tad bit too high, but overall a fun work!

Great mood and graphics, like the game pace and most of anything I love the unstable terrain and wish if I can jump to broken peace's forever and not die when they falling down. Great fun game keep working on it pleas.

I'm a big fan of the graphics. At one point I was able to hop on top of the helicopter, ha! My best score was 16. It gets really difficult once half the ground is missing, ha! Fantastic game.

Enjoyed this. I liked that there was a bit more to it than it seemed with the turrets. Would like something where you could collect coins and try to rebuild, stuff like that.

The idea of ​​the game is very good and fun, however I did not feel the gameplay very well. The movement of the camera is not very comfortable, I think it should be fixed and follow the character or that the direction of movement of the character can be directed with the mouse to make it more fluid and easy to handle. I think the art is the best part, it's very well done and achieved, maybe the pixel art UI is out of tune with the 3d one, but it's just my perception. Great job!

I'm a sucker for this kind of look, and the sound design only makes it better. The controls might need a bit of fine-tuning. The theme is represented nicely, though, and overall the game was a treat.

Only managed to get 18 coins on my final attempt :frowning2:. This is a very fun concept, and the graphics/art is well executed. Some things that I think can take this game to the next level:
- tweaking the camera movement/player control (started to get mild motion sickness after a few play throughs aha!)
- adding some kind of cue to guide/indicate to players where the next coins would be

Overall, I really liked your game, and would have tried to get the dev high score if I wasn't so sensitive to motion sickness :sweat_smile:

Lol that was insane, trying to survive on a place thats getting blown to bits is a fantastic use of the theme. Had some weird collision bugs, but other than that it was smooth sailing. Great work!

I love the visual and feeling of the whole game and Level Design! The jump really feel great and the sfx is good! It's just a little weird to know what the turret actualy does, and to be able to see coin trough the wreckage of the platform. It's a little difficule but lovely to play!

Very impressive! I was stunned by the destructible environments and really decent controls, you guys had my mouth open! The style is lovely and the premise is really good!

There's nothing inherently wrong with the game itself, it's just unfortunate that some platforming jank is present, but that's to be expected for jam games and I won't fault you guys for it.

Great job!

Man, I really dig low poly artstyles like these. The presentation is fantastic. The character feels good to control, although the camera can be a bit janky and the level design and objective isn't the most intuitive. But these things are just a matter of polish which you don't get to do a lot of during a jam. This is a really high quality entry overall.

fun little game and am very glad you have a sensitivity option there. I enjoyed racing round trying to get any coins I could find and am very impressed by the dev team to get over 30, I struggled with 14.

I would say I wish there was another movement option in addition to a double jump like a dive forward. Something that just allow additional options especially when the platforms are falling apart from under you I think an option like that would be nice to have.

In regards to coin collecting, I just ran around and hoped that I saw coins is it a timer based thing when they spawn? A big arrow or something would be nice but I wouldn't know how to do that as that might not be the best option when considering the coin might not have a platform under it anymore.

Great looking game! The gameplay is nice and frantic with the whole level breaking down on you, on my first run I focused too much on the turrets and couldn't get a good score but by prioritizing getting coins I managed to do a lot better :D

Super cool game!

I loved the mix of low poly, pixel textures and bright colors along with fun 8 bit like sound effects.
The controls feel great even if mouse look sensitivity is crazy (at setting 1). I love the fact that you can walljump or even stall jump on the helicopter haha.

I had a good time, thanks for the game 🚁
