Let There Bee Rumours

Love the style and concept of the game!

My main feedback is stuff that has surely been said already, but platformer details like coyote jump and input buffering would have been very nice. Additionaly, going straight to start upon death was a bit harsh and checkpoints would have been nice.

But overall, very well done!

(Also, your english was fine :D)

Ah when I read the title, I thought this would be story-driven game about small world where rumours spread fast, which would have been great idea. Now it was more about platforming, though it was fun to read thoughts of others. Music was pleasant, but jumping was bit irritating. Somekind of other sound effect could have worked or just tune it down (in GMS you can use audio_sound_gain(...) ). Jumping was bit difficult and had many places for easy death, which would have made some checpoints necessary. It was nice entry otherwise :)

edit. umm. about music, artistic content should be made during GM48 period and I think you cannot use free-to-use music either, expect if they are in Yoyogames marketplace.

I really enjoyed playing this one. It's a solid start for a platforming game with great art. If you're interested in developing it further, I would recommend looking into some platforming mechanics that help make the controls feel a little more responsive, such as coyote timing and input buffering. YYG published a pretty good blog about those things here: https://www.yoyogames.com/blog/544/flynn-advanced-jump-mechanics

I played this game on my Twitch stream, if you are interested in seeing live reactions: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/602080602

Your game starts around 54:19! Nice job!

Nice platformer. The visuals and music are both good. The controls work well and there's a decent variety of items and obstacles to keep things interesting. The difficulty is pretty reasonable, but some checkpoints would have still been nice. I like the idea of trying to gather rumours and it was fun listening to what everyone had to say. I will a little disappointed that you don't get to see the board of rumours you've collected at the end.

I love platformers, probably my favorite genre so I did enjoy playing this. For the sake of constructive feedback I will say it would be nice to implement fall forgiveness (just after the moment you run off a ledge you are still able to jump despite being in the air), and maybe checkpoints but I like a challenge so I'm ok with there not being checkpoints. With all the gossip I was hoping for a more climatic ending but it's still good.

I like how it gives off an "online metroidvania game" vibe, like Endeavor or Arzea. I thought that respawning the player all the way at the beginning was WAAAAAY too cruel, and quickly lost interest. Checkpoints would've been nice. That's all.

Cute game with a nice aesthetic, I especially liked the player sprite/animations. The text on the signs and the dialogue from other bugs was pretty good, and I liked exploring around a bit. I think the platforming physics and challenges could use some more polish - I think the purple platforms should give the player a small bounce if they're not holding space, instead of having them fall through, for one. Congrats on completing your first game jam! I hope you stick with them in the future!

Really enjoyed the music and the art style. It was very cute. Found it challenging and definitely died a lot. Wasn't sure how to spread rumours at the end of the game as the game closed as soon as I reached the sign "Spread rumours and exit game". Also crashed at the beginning. Really liked the player character. Her animations were adorable. The signs about the spikes were funny and it was nice to run into other insects to hear the rumours. I found the controls a little difficult. I think I'd have preferred arrow keys instead as I'm not very good at using my left hand. All in all though, enjoyed it and felt the art and music worked really well together. Great aesthetic.
