KnighToad by Wild-Babou
This is our first game jam. We had way bigger plans but of course we did not have time to implement all of them. We programmed and created all the assets except for the player controller where we used taro ultimate 2d controller(see links) and modified it slightly.
In the end we created a fun 2D puzzle platformer with some interesting mechanics based on the topic "delivery". The game consists of fully custom pixel art. In our game there are two characters, a brave knight and a toad called Jonathoad. The knight gets the mission to deliver the toad to the princess to reverse its curse and turn back into a prince. During the game you can play as both characters to help you solve puzzles. To combat any enemies that come in your way, the knight can throw Jonathoad at them to dispose of them quickly. Many other surprises may face you when playing the game. Have fun! We hope you will enjoy the game.

The only issue i had were some bugs, among others falling under platform:
That made me smile becaause, there are lot of bugs in games made in 3 days and i like finding them :D
Have a nice day!
for a first time good job :o
really enjoyed playing your game :))
Gameplay-wise, the collisions were quite janky. Cometimes I would collide with nothingness, jumping on the platforms from the bottom would also be cool. Jonathoad didn't damaga enemies, when they were going in the opposite direction and at the beginning I thought that I just can't kill them.
The music is kinda basic but I found it suited the game really nicely, and once again I absolutely love the art. Really enjoyed this as a quick game and would love more levels and the few issues cleaned up. Super fun, and not really something I had played yet.
