Axolotl is Dry

Cute little precision platformer. The only thing that would make this game more intereseting would be collectibles and/or hidden collectibles within every level.

game is very fun but very short for the price, beat the game in 68 min, love the artstyle, if you are planning to buy this, buy it on sale.

I like this game a lot. The characters are very cute, the level design has a nice ebb and flow in difficulty, and while the game only has one song in its soundtrack, I never grew tired of it across the 50 levels to play. If you are looking to get into precision platformers like kaizo or celeste, this is a pretty good entry point, as the difficult is on the lower side. Some criticisms that could be changed to make this game, or a follow up game more of a success for me: - The coconut hitbox is pretty small, making the direction it travels in feel mostly controllable, but also a bit random. Taking player momentum into account to decide which direction the coconut travels in could help a lot. - Transitioning between screens doesn't feel that great because there is very little pause time to evaluate the state of the next screen. This is exacerbated by the fact that the position of a coconut on screen 2 that has been kicked from screen 1 depends on how the coconut was kicked, so you have to make a very fast evaluation as to how to proceed, which feels unfair and not very interesting. - The hydration meter is way underused. I never died to this mechanic and it was a selling point for the game! A difficulty mode where the axolotl drying out a lot faster could fix this pretty easily. - The game is pretty short. I beat the game in about 1.5 hours, which is not that much time for a 10 dollar price tag. However, looking at some of the other reviews for this game shows play times around the 7 hour mark, so I think I am alone in this. Great game, and best wishes to the dev.
