Review by Terry Cavanagh (creator of VVVVVV):
"I really like it when a game takes a weird idea and lets me discover all the funny unexpected consequences of it. “What happens when I …?” is one of the best questions a game can invite you to ask."

Holy peak
Quite a lovely jaunt of a game, though I do have to parrot the other comments about mimicking the lizard being a bit difficult to figure out on your own.
goood game
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Workin on it o7
More is coming :D You can wishlist the sequel on steam!
very cool little puzzle game :) well done! (and i love the particle effects when you win!)
Ok, this was cool. Even though I had to watch a walkthrough, the lizard mechanic is still interesting... Thanks for sharing this.
lovely game!!
it dosent make sense why cant you hover ouver groun if your a bird?
你说的对
love this so much
I like the idea :)
real fun game need more levels pls
kinda expected more from the secret but ok
this needs a sequel :)
half-butterfly-goat real cursed lol
workin on a sequel!
More is coming :D You can wishlist the sequel on steam!
Got stuck on lizard for 30 min, but overall a really nice puzzle game 👍
Interesting mechanic with the lizard, however I feel like it would have helped to teach the player the lizard mechanic a bit better. Having to search up a guide just to learn that I need to be right next to the creature to mimic into a lizard was a bit disappointing
This was really cool!
Thanks! That means a lot from you :’)
I think it’s about time I start working on a full version of this game :D
BABA CREATOR SPOTTED
A simple yet detailed gimmick.
The idea is novel.
SUCH an interesting concept, it made me really wonder what lengths one could go with the different applications/variations are happening in each level! So much potential!
Thanks! I hope to expand it one day :’)
More is coming :D You can wishlist the sequel on steam!
How lizard?

The lizard got me stumped for a while lol
where the secrets at
level five butterfly
Awesome game!really enjoyed this one!
Great puzzle game! I like how new mechanics are introduced very gradually. I didn’t get stuck at any point, but because there was something new in every level, finishing them felt very satisfying. Nice!
Great game, great mechanics. Tho was stuck on the lizard when he was introduced for awhile haha!
Yeah that part is a bit tricky and the game doesn’t really prepare you well for it :P Glad you liked the game :D
i love this game but i can't get past level 3
bird cannot tree
need i say more
i really like it! is simple and super fun
A fun game with a pretty unusual mechanic
I can't return to the main menu and enter level select to find the secret level after beating the game
I feel like that's kinda intentional
you'll have to re-run to find iit
super cool game I luv it( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✧
this game is awesome!!
i didnt think this was going to be so much fun, the puzzles are you creative
this game is actually really damn fun, gj!
super fun!!
The rock pile on the left of level 4 is a person
Really enjoyed it but does anyone know how to access the secret?
Nvm you have to
Skip level 5
There is a real way that doesn’t use skipping :P
theres weird grass
I adored this game, I think Sourencho did an incredible job designing the gameplay within the limitations of PICO-8. I would love to see more of this. I wrote a little game review on it if you want to check it out!
