I found ways to get out of bounds which is really cool. Figured out how to get to places you normally cant get to like in world 2. Speedrunning this with glitches is very fun! I love the game a lot, and I play it in school all the time in my study halls. <3
Things i like about this game:
Capybara Quest Gameplay
Really, really cute and simple! It's not a hard game but it's not easy. The Yuzus were easy but I hate skeletons now
That game was fun, and much cute. Nice work!
I think I found some Easter eggs where you fall in the ground under a box, there is a sign on a building that I can't seem to get to, pressing alt allows you to jump, and if you crouch when you meet an enemy, a bunch of scrambles appear.
Also, when you jump on one of the trampolines, there is a face of somebody who looks like Slappy from Goosebumps.
Also, when you eat a fruit, you can return to the spot the fruit once was and the capybara says a heart. Also, you don't need to press down and to the side to exit a ladder. Just the left or right is enough. Also, you can eat the fruit even if you're dead, or even die again. There is also a sign in a pit in the first construction level that says "No Easter eggs here, sorry."
There must be some kind of glitch in the game. I cannot advance past the first Construction World level on Cool Math Games.
I can, but when it looks like you have to jump over the bat, you have to go under it.
EDIT: Also, I am in full screen.
really cute
Hi Maxthetics! Love this game. It's got a wonderfully warm vibe and fun platforming mechanics. We'd love to have the game on Coolmath Games! If you're interested in non-exclusive licensing and want to learn more, please email us at games@coolmath.com :)
Really adorable game, unfortunately when I discovered that the cannons had no impact, I decided to put the game on hold for now as that removed a lot of the challenge. Would love to return to it again in the future :)
What do you mean? The shots they fire definitely hurt the player.
I tried standing in front of them several times and took no damage whatsoever.
very good
My only criticism is that the bullets shot by the cannons don't give you a game over. It would be more challenging if they did. BUT this game is adorable and I'm having a lot of fun going through the levels!!
ok i pull up
gb studio moment (good game tho)
very nice soundtrack
Hey that's a cool game. Just one minor issue I found, pressing z while the caps was on didn't enter the command.
It's pretty good!
The controls feels real nice
nicely done !
Oh man, this is cute as! When I finished the first level... that was such a great moment haha! Well done!
...and thanks for using my tileset!!
I originally was just using the free set to prototype but I ended up liking it so much I had to grab a couple of your paid sets. Really helped. Your sprite work is great.
Thanks heaps! Glad you like them :)
