The mechanic is interesting and the visuals looked pretty good - overall, I liked it.

Good paralax background! I got 160 ml. If you want you can play my game: https://itch.io/jam/-pixel-game-jam-2024/rate/2718966

I love the look of this game. The parallax craziness in the background was super fun to watch. Nice, tight gameplay, too!

Nice work! I liked the use of the parallax background to give a better sense of movement. The bad guys visual art was cute and I first thought they were coming to help me. Then I started bopping them on the head and realized they weren’t helping me hah.

Love the game mechanic! And the slightly movement at the background is really great! Feel free to rate my game too~

Nice and simple. The camera is way too zoomed out to see the character it will be better to move the camera closer . I didn't understand the goal of the game

Cool art direction, and unique gameplay. Definitely can be tuned to be more challenging as it was relatively easy. Would love to see it expanded.

there is a frame in the animation right after landing that she seems to be flexing both arms like showing muscles lol ... I tried for a long time to get that exact moment in a print, but gave up, it is to fast ... 

 i am not sure I understood what is happenning after the cats get run over

He's a STRONK BOI! lol. And the cart doesn't run over the enemies, you can just stomp on them and they die/faint. The only interaction they have with the cart is to move towards it and steal water from it if they stand next to it long enough. I think they still move/slide around while dead for some reason, but I've yet to fix that. Thanks for playing!

Beautifully made, more to come from you!

Could you please try out my game?

Nice. Loved the art style. Simple game but fun. I liked the mechanic of having to be near the payload for it to move. Made it a fun little go out, but then back, kinda of game play.

Solid game jam submission. Good luck with the jam!

Cool art style but I feel like there should be a rush to get water.

I'm a little bit confused about the gameplay but the art is simple and good. Maybe the parallax seems weird

Developer

I was wondering about whether the parallax effect was maybe too much, but I'm glad you liked the art-style! And yeah I could probably stand to make the objective a bit more clear. Thanks for playing, and thanks for the feedback!
