I think name tags are a good idea, and they look good! And hey, maybe someone will stream this game and the name tags will help an audience member who didnโ€™t see the character get introduced keep up. :)

They are both awesome! I prefer the pixel art style.

Don't Get The Job by River Forge Games, Yรคn, Bonicle Interview at The Forum

I can't believe it's been four years since I made Don't Get the Job with @yaengames.bsky.social and @bonicle.bsky.social . If you've never had a chance to play this game jam game, people seem to like it.

If you're a people, you might like it too!

I suppose we do agree! You could check the horizontal and vertical distance traveled as well as time and donโ€™t allow the jump if the delay is too long or the distance from the normal cliff is too great, I love it!

To me the spirit of it is just making that sweet spot of the โ€œlast chanceโ€ to jump have a few extra pixels of wiggle room. If the jump is so hard that you have to abuse it or even be aware of it, itโ€™s not doing its job properly.

They help me live vicariously through little pixel dudes ๐Ÿ˜… Much like books, theyโ€™re not just an escape but an opportunity to have wonderfully crafted and curated experiences that would be challenging or impossible in real life in the comfort of your home.

Itโ€™s the poor manโ€™s double jump!

I'm quite certain that my steam page sorted by time played says a lot about me, but I'm not sure what specifically ๐Ÿ˜…
