bro I need a sequel to this rn like bro plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I really like this, but I have a few gripes, mainly the final world. It feels kinda unfair at times, especially the final boss. I also think the black holes are a bit unnecesary. But overall really good.
if peak were a game :7
okay, this is a long shot, but the final boss has a really distinct hexagon attack that's basically the exact same as one in Copy Kitty. was that an inspiration or just convergent design? i've never seen it anywhere else, but the shape and timing are near identical. Copy Kitty added this boss only a few years beforehand too.
the boss starts using it at about 2:30 in the video.
this game's great btw, i found it through portmaster and it was fun to play a few levels before bed each night. ❤
JUEGAZOOOOOO, ame muchísimo su juego, fue realmente divertido, un gran trabajo, ojala el juego tenga una secuela o dlc, los quiero mucho, son tremendos ganadores
i will forver wait for a remaster.
I love this game, playing it on a Anbernic rg40xxv through portmaster, but that final boss is just insanely difficult compared to the rest of the game, not even because of his attack patterns but because the hitboxes on the little bees he sends out are horribly inconsistent and the way the bees spawn out of the ground is inconsistent too, which ends up in you getting hit half the time. Overall amazing game but the final boss is horrible design for how inconsistent the hitboxes are.
edit: Also, half the time the ammo/health that spawns from the bees you stomp ends up flying off the screen/out of reach.
gg [good game]
Absolutely incredible game, I played it around when it came out and after replaying it its still so good.
Good game, but level 2-2 is really hard. Not sure if that's bad design or me being a noob.
So fun!! ^^
Its cool that its a Retro game, plus I can Play offline on the go!
Reminds me of Yoshi Island for obvious reasons Cool game!
I found it browsing in the JelOS portmanager, I downloaded it out of curiosity, and I find a very beautiful and polished game. You can see the great work that has the game despite the short time in which it was made. It has a difficulty curve a bit aggressive but still very fun.
You wanna know something really cool? Theoretically, if you somehow find a way to port a file from a computer to a console, you could port this game to STEAMDECK.
update: i beat the first world. this is a really good game with a lot of charm! the music is really good and the levels are creative! combine that with a controller and you got a 5 star game! and it was all made in less than a month? this is AWESOME!
Is there a way to skip the boss intro for 4-4? It's a very difficult boss and having to watch the intro every time is excruciating.
I finished the game. Is there any benefit to collecting all the collectibles?
I would change a few things about the final boss. A couple of things were maybe miscommunication - that is, needing more visual feedback on boss hits and whether or not bees under foot get stomped on automatically (that seemed to be the case in the end).
Obviously, a way to skip the intro. Preferably just played once a stage.
Candies and stars should not shoot out from downed enemies and they shouldn't leave the screen if they do.
Can you please tell us what the stars are for? Thanks.
EDIT: I assume when they reach 100, you get a bubble which is a shield for 1 hit.
If your sheild meter isn't full, stars charge it by 1, and when it reaches 40, you get a sheild, and when you take damage with the sheild, the sheild meter goes back to 0.
When you reach 60, you get your first bubble. If you break it, for the next bubble it requires 120 stars. Yours stars can exceed the limit and also is retained each time you break a bubble. If you die, you lose all your stars.
That's not how it works. If you get 40 stars (not 60), you get your bubble, if you lose it right now, you'll need 80 stars in total to get your bubble back. If you have 40 stars and get 1 more so you have 41, then lose it, you'll need 81 stars in total to get your bubble back.
nvm, its 40 stars. i switched my numbers with numbers in my game I was making
This game is SO HARD, well, either that, or I'm the Stargrove Scramble equivalent to the Cuphead tutorial guy on IGN.
this is like yoshi's island but better.
Great game 🥺
This was a super fun game to play !!!!
I wasn't planning a long gaming session but I couldn't stop playing, tight controls, nice graphics and sweet OST.
Thank you ! wondering if you ever consider an extended version !
Pros
Cons
Very Great game, as always! But the level that requiers you to defeat a lego enemy is Pretty counter-intuitive. Like, you just expect Me to Step on lego? (if you don't understand what I'm saying, watch this video)
This may just be a yoshi's island remake, but it's a good yoshi's island remake. it is also longer than i expected, and i love the artstyle (bc it's yoshi's island but still).
Overall i would give it a 10/10
Fantastic game!!
I played this game a while ago, and I gotta say it's one of the best games I've ever played.
(secretly hoping for a sequel rn)
Imagine sequel
I just finished it and... and this is without a doubt one of the best platform games with the main elements... if you haven't played it yet PLAY NOW. - the final boss is difficult and incredible - MY FAVORITE GAME xD
