Really fun game, I had a great time playing it. I like the idea of collecting achievements, that was really well done. Good job!

My favourite game so far! I loooove your art style. And you nailed the theme. Really liked your approach in general. Good job!

At first I thought it was just a basic platformer, but playing revealed that collecting all sorts of quirky achievements is the main gameplay. The game oozes humor everywhere—like how doors can't be opened from this side.

i love the art style and the addition of the achievements system, funny issue i ran into actually is that i use a vertical monitor for coding and when i opened the game for some reason it went on that monitor instead and i couldn't see anything so when i reopened it i was pleasantly surprised to see an achievement.

amazing! incredible well done of visual and music, and it inspires me so much of collecting achievement, even failures. it jumps out of the box when considering collector.

Very fun game! I didn't manage to get all of the achievements (4 left), but I enjoyed the game a lot!

I don't really have any criticism or suggestions, player character controls great and there are a lot of funny little secrets and Dark Souls references to find.

Btw, the game behaves really funky with a PS5 controller, it's like ground turns into ice! 😂 You should really try it out yourselves! I thought I needed the controller to enter the Konami code. 😁

It was fun trying to get all the achievements. I had a few I couldn't figure out. I didn't realize there was a guide on the itchio page until after I was finished with it. It would be nice if the game started on the main menu, and if the escape key closed the achievement screen if it was open when you press it. Fun game!

Cool entry hahaha, pretty well polished and really fun to seek all the achievements. Even got threatened by a famous goose..

Cute little entry. Loved the fast pace of achievements getting unlocked left and right. Could have used some kind of hints for the last achievements, I didn't figure out last couple of them.

Racking up the achievements. Running side to side. Living the axolotl life. Gettin' stabbed by a Goose. Found a good number of the achievements, that was fun. Could have used a few more in-game hints like others have said.

Loved the concept of the achievements themselves being the main focus of the gameplay. Music and art style are great.

Ahhhh it's so cute! I love the axolotl and the game itself is fun, I'm just really bad at these types of games. Well done!
