It's creative, it's fast-paced and it feels nice to play. Each level escalates in difficulty just right, has the best congratulations level I've seen so far and most of all, feels a little Pizza Tower inspired, especially in the visuals (so I automatically love it lol). Gamepad comes highly recommended, but I noticed I couldn't lick upward with the d-pad. Music's good, the sound design is creative and it is just a plain ol' fun platform game about delivering pizza.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":934921,"author_name":"LDJam user 338044","author_uid":"338044","epoch":1682910459,"text":"Excellent game, played all the way through.

The character's movement and mobility were really goofy but also rewarding to get right. The tongue mechanic felt really good when navigating across obstacles, especially where it required tight timing. The game was a little short --- only two levels --- but for a game jam game that's usually not a bad thing. It's way better to make two great levels than ten rushed levels where the player gets bored after level five.\n\nFirst thoughts on potential improvement on the gameplay side:\n- The movement felt a little slippery, which usually doesn't feel great for a precision platformer. I liked the fact that you were slow to build up momentum, but the character could stand to stop faster when trying to turn around or stop.\n- The wall jumping was a little finnicky, particularly the very last section where you had to swap back and forth rapidly. I kept bouncing off the walls slightly.\n- I really liked how the second level had a task you had to complete *after* picking up the pizza. If you had time for a third level, it would have been interesting to pick up the pizza very early but have to navigate multiple obstacles afterward without access to your tongue.\n\nThe graphics and audio were also very enjoyable. The graphics style was pretty simple, but the goofy character art and special animations for squishing against walls, etc. made it feel great to play. If you had time, it would have been great to add a little bit of squash and stretch when jumping and landing on the ground for the extra little spice.\n\nI drew your delivery toad and added him to the cat-ear pixel-art fan art compilation on [my profile page.](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/users\/jeremy-ryan\/) \n\n![frogue.png](\/\/\/raw\/aba\/3\/z\/5bc37.png)\n\nThanks for making this, and good luck
