What a charming little gem!

I've been playing a bunch of the Game Jam Submissions and, mechanically, this is the best game I've play so far. This is pretty much a flawless submission. This feels like a finished game. The design is clever and challenging. This is a special creation and I wouldn't be surprised if it won the Game Jam. I finished all Ten Levels and missed only a few coins, but you better believe I'm going back to replay and achieve a flawless run on every level. Stellar work!

I am happy to hear you enjoyed our game.

I'm terrible at your game lol but I loved it. The art work is probably the best I've seen so far.

Haha, thank you! It is quite difficult and takes a while to get used to it.

Love it, but damn I'm not good at it. :)

It takes a bit of practice.
