Awesome job, congrats!!
Really cool game. The mario sound effects are great.
A bit unforgiving, though. I wasn't able to see all of the content. I agree with josefnpat about progressively introducing mechanics.
Seriously, you managed to create a huge amount of really good content - is this possible?
Now, I think the game is a little too hard. It would be interesting to improve balancing a bit. Well, maybe it's because I should try it more - back to playing!
This is the greatiest fun I've seen this LD, the concept is super funny and the execution is nearly perfect.
The level of polish is insanely high, everything is super juiced and feels rewarding. (The sex-appeal score with drumroll, the blood particles when you died, the sreenshake, the effect when you get a key or a coin, the hilarious sound effects when you pull a teeth or explode a pimple.)
It's also pretty challenging in a good way, the level design is nice and I love how the game reserves suprises and unlockable features for those who really try to reach the end (I had to restart the game 4 times before I beat it, the Prince became so fabulous on last levels haha !)
The pixel art is top-notch, I love the colors, the little particle effects ect. It really captures the spirit of the game as much as the soundtrack which is memorable.
The number of details you put in it is incredible and each time I restart I found more of them. (the "Happily Ever After Shop", the blood that become green at level 7, the poop that explode when it falls on spades)
It also totally feets the theme in a very unique and funny way.
(oh and I found the wall climb mechanics works really well, should me a feature in more platformers instead of regular wall jump)
I will definitely com back later to play it again !
5 stars all around. It deserves more rates !
5*
Fantastic work!!!
I love the graphics and art, and that you did it all by yourself! That is super awesome! You're a jack of all trades!
No negatives on this entry, just positive!
Hope you had fun making it and thanks for your kind words on my game =)
I love the idea but after the while I stopped liking mirror levels. I feel like there is not enough feedback for the player in mirror levels - why prince is (un)attractive.
For the gameplay itself this is a gem. Everytihng runs smoothly. Game is eye-candy and sounds just add to overall perfection.
Overall: Very strong entry
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
I hope you continue to develop this - I can see it making a very successful mobile game.
Only one tiny quibble - I hit the same bug as some of the other players and found the screen wouldn't scroll up when it was supposed to (I was using Firefox).
I love how the mirror breaks, haha! xD
Nice work, all the stars! ;)
A bit hard to play with trackpad, but then again that's the way it is with most games that require major use of the mouse.
Amazing humor in this game as well, loved that the princess was so repulsed by me that she threw up :P
The graphic is one of the best, it's totally funny, the idea is unquestionable unique, as well as the mechanics! You did an AWESOME work!
What can I say ? Dat polish man, everything is just so funny and juicy! Best fun, audio and humor I've seen so far, the graphics, innovation and theme are spot on : it's a real gem with a pretty neat replay value ! Super theme interpretation too, it's like an hilarious game adaptation of The Fly.
I would be interested to make a let's play video of your game (in german). Could you please send me a mail at dariusYT@gmail.com if you would like too ?
This is so perfect that gets me angry. Damn!
Congratulations, dude!
Awesome and flawless entry.
This is truly epic. Particularly noteworthy were the controls. I'd never used mouse buttons to platform but it felt great and my meatboy training translated 100%. My one gripe is using lives ... you are keeping users from fun content. Let them experience as much as they can manage imo.
Epic entry. Well done. Bravo? Stupendous!
@thanks for your comments everyone !
The concept, design and execution is almost flawless.
This is the LD35 winner for me.
I've really nothing bad to say about this - and you already know how well you've done thanks to all the other comments! You're extremely talented, and you should be very proud.
Thankyou so much for your comments on my own game, by the way - they mean a lot, coming from someone like you. And I hope you don't mind a new follower on Twitter...~
Great job :)
One of the best!
Only minus would be that the fail-system is a tad harsh. But I'm also not a very good platform gamer. ;)
Everything about this game is really awesome, the art, the music.
An inovative idea combined with very well designed levels, the game have a good balancing, is simple, cute and troll :F hahahaha
I did reached the level 9 and only stop to play because I needed try other games, for sure I'm going to back here to play it more!
I can see this game reaching the top 10, great work Pietro, as expected!
Man, this game is just a 5/5 on everything... Creativity at its finest. SO MUCH FUN.
