Good job to have redo LocoRoco in 3 days. But you brought your graphic appearance, so the game is beautiful and the music is very good. Respect for the theme is average and the jump is a bit hard to use.

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good.
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

Awesome idea! Had fun playing it!

One gripe I had was that the tilt only works up to a certain angle (couldn't tilt 360 degrees around with the mouse). Probably it was intended that way but would be nice if there was some visual indication for this otherwise it feels like a bug.

Fun game with great graphics, however I got stuck on the left side of the map a couple times and had to restart. Jumping can be also be a bit difficult at times.

Nice one - enjoyed playing the finished version! Graphics look great and the physics are super fun to play. I 'ran out of space' at the end.... aaand there's the theme! Great work.

Locoroco fan is here - really liked your entry, but rotating circle parts are IMO too hard for the beginning of the level.
Sound and graphics are great, I liked gameplay also a lot, but you need to do hardness curve not so steep, I think.

Very "Locoroco"-ish :) very charming game, LOVE the music, did find the "controls" a bit frustrating at times, feel like you where almost to "sticky" for the rather limited tilt angle, making doing forward be rather slow-ish (especially crawling past the rotating faces took a bit to long). Never the less! Very nice game all-in-all.

This is really nice, I haven't played Locoroco but it reminded me of Gish. The music fits really well to the theme. I got frustrated that I couldn't fit into the gap at the end, and replayed it by trying to avoid the fuzzies, got frustrated when I still couldn't fit, then I read the comments and it all became clear.

Very fun game. The music is good. The graphics are stunning. I also have an eyeball game, but mine uses different mechanics. Good work.

Also, I got stuck here.

@cope So you might say that you ran out of space :point_left: :wink:

I'll show myself out :8ball:

Graphics and vibe are great, I liked the song too. Restarted once and the Fuzzy Counter maximum shot up to 320 instead of 160. Nice ending, even if it took me a second to figure out that was the end.

@tattomoosa That'll be a bug. I know instantly what I've done wrong, but it'll have to stay for now. :8ball:

Aaah! I couldn't beat it. I tried becoming huge and staying small but it seems I'm missing something. Really nice presentation though. Visuals and audio are great.

Great game! I was thinking when I was playing: this game reminds me something... Then I read the comments and got it — LocoRoco! Very, very solid entry with smooth gameplay. Jumping/deflating was a bit difficult at times, but that's understandable for the jam game.

Loved it! Like everyone else I found myself stuck at the and a suspicion began to grow in my mind as I hadn't really been able to connect the game to the theme up until that point… At first I thought I was just supposed to ignore a couple of collectibles to stay small, go through that passage and get the remaining ones, and then go back up through the passage to get the remaining ones from the previous area, but I couldn't get that to work either, so I came over here to read the comments, and there you go. p:

Music and graphics and everything was great. Loved how the faces on the spinning circles jiggled around. I see that you have tilt controllers as an option and I would've loved to try that but I don't have anything like that setup. But it makes me think this would make for a great mobile game if expanded upon.

Thanks for a cool game!
