Quite a good entry, although very difficulty in parts for me. (That's not a negative... just a reflection on my platforming abilities.) The controls could maybe use a little tightening, but it's still a good start.

the controls got to me a bit. i got to the squirl in the tree, couldnt get up the tree again, and just quit.

Nice little game, but the inside of the tree was a little tedious to climb.

Loved this game. Very cute graphics and theme and fun mechanics to play around with. Only thing that confused me was not knowing how to move at all at the start.

(review of post-jam update) I love that you did the graphics by hand, though I'm not too fond of the style. Great humour (I love how all the lies I saw were really nice and innocent), and the physics work is good. However, the controls were just too frustratingly hard for me.

Solid entry. The movement needs a little bit of course correction / fine tuning but when I was able to fling my elephant to the top of the tree it was very satisfying. Loved the hand drawn sprites.

Amusing idea. :D I like the art very much, humor is superb and mechanics are super-funny (if a bit clunky at times). It's possible to get stuck in the air and level design could be sometimes more forgiving as it's easy to get stuck between platforms. Amazing entry. :D

I liked the art style and the physics made the game enjoyable. The dialog scrolled pretty quickly though and I missed a few of the lines.

Nice little game you got here - although it took me a while to get used to playing it on trackpad! Would be better with mouse :)

Please upload WebGL version of your game. Not everybody can use Unity plugin :c

Loved the graphics, and flinging Billy around the map was quite fun once I figured it out (I spent a good chunk of the game dragging myself along the floor, haha).

[Review of Original Submission]
Awesome game! I loved the graphics, and the primary mechanic was extremely clever :D.
Moving was very hard, and it took me a while to get past some of the obstacles, however, it was very fun!
When I fell to the bottom of the pond with all the bubbles, the game started lagging a lot, and I wasn't able to go farther.
I really liked this game, I now want to play the Post-Jam version!


I downloaded the Windows version, but I got the error: "Data folder not found -- There should be 'Billy_Data'
folder next to the executable".

Anyway, I managed to beat the Post-Jam Web version. Very good humor :D

@dcRfj15, Thanks! The Windows executable should be fixed now.

That was amazing. Swinging Billy around is the best of fun. The texts were fun too. Only played the improved version though.

Charming art style, with weird controls. I feel reminded of Octodad.

Original idea, I just got cramped fingers within about a few minutes so had to give up. Cute handdrawn images and fitting music by Mr. MacLeod.

Foxtacy: It's a nice idea, the mechanics are quite funny, the soundtrack is really appealing given the whole art set. I enjoyed it :)
