Avoid the Graters by petitpois

[raw]
made by petitpois for LD34 (COMPO)
I didn't have as much time as I wanted so I only did one level. First attempt at a puzzle/platformer. Working solo I didn't get to make any music but I did the sound effects and ran out of time to do animations.

Story

Horia has been captured by the Graters and destined to be made into salad. You are Zane a wise carrot who needs to find and rescue Horia in each level avoiding the graters and beating the clock!

Move = Left/Right Arrows
Grow Carrots = X+Up arrow

Art is charming but the controls need to be more precise.

Nice art!
It felt a little odd at first because of lack of feedback. I didn't understand why I lost at first, then I noticed the timer during my next play!
I managed to rescue Horia, but it wasn't easy :-)
Congratulations!

Controls are... wonky. But love the concept all around. Very interesting mechanic to grow the carrots instead of jumping. Great job!

Cute graphics, if simple. Gameplay was a little weird and unnatural, I understand how you wanted to fit with the theme but it just doesn't feel quite right yet.

Hey nice time playing this. Entertaining but too short. Well done!

Hello!
For me, this game would benefit from greater difference between foreground/interaction-layer and background, also more precise controls.
Nice looking characters!
