Very cool! The graphics are super nice.

😊👍

one hit mode is literally impossible since when you go to the next level you lose a heart anyway so what's the point of this mode?

This was a game jam game and I didn't have much time to test it. Whoops!

Its ok man the game is still really good

I dont think there would be a gameboy port of it, or?

Made a video

Oh man this game is super fun. Very arcadey

Thanks!

Love it ! (nice title screen music btw)

Thanks! The title screen music was by Bibiki. Check out more of his stuff here: http://bibikigarcia.com/

real chads play on "ONE HIT"

The truest fact of them all!

the bulls are nasty omg!

They sure are! But you can't get hurt by them until they start running.

Thanks!

Very nice lite game

Thanks!

So this was really fun in an arcady way. Business advice, you guys should make a time traveling machine and then travel back in time to make an arcade port of this game because oh god, if this is fun. I could easily see kids in the late 80s and early 90s losing their mind and coins over this.

The music is fantastic. Jammy even. 

The artstyle is charming and unique.

And the level design is challenging, fun, and enjoyable.

If i have any complain, is that the dash can sometimes screw me over. There were times i swear i made a perfect dash but still took damage from the spikes.

Except for that, all of it, including the animation (which by god, is really charming) plays out as intended. 

Just remember my advice on time traveling tho. 

YOU CAN MAKE A LOT OF MONEY! :P

Time travelling machine, eh? I'll get rid on that after dinner!
Think I'll add some kinda effect for the dash, make its limits more obvious. Thanks for the feedback.

This was a really fun game. If this had been available when I was a child for my Game Boy I would have added this to my collection. Great work. Keep it up! 

Thanks a lot, lad! Love watching other people play the game.

This is an amazing game! I was hoping to make a collection of small indie games to play on stream (I recently began streaming on Twitch!) Would it be okay with you if I included your game

It sure would! Go for it!

Very fun game. Great visuals. 

Thanks a lot! Loved the video, you've got mad skills!

Holy shit! That was impressive! I was thinking of adding a multiplier for playing dangerously. It'd kick in if you're near the top of the screen.

it's going to be great, keep this project going, it's fantastic!

Really, this is an awesome game! The mechanics of the game and the feel are top-notch. Really loved playing it. The effects added in this game are quite nice and give good user feedback. Also, the game seems to be quite a good adaptive model to the level of difficulty. However, the Baby and the Normal mode feels nearly the same, if am not wrong. The only thing which is a point to consider is the level design. Currently, it's not that appealing but surely you can improve this ahead of time.

Thanks for the feedback! Aye, I cheaped out on the difficulty, it just affects how much health you start with (6, 3 or 1).

Okay Cool, will be looking forward to your future projects.
