[@ComfieDev]

Thank you for making this possible. I couldn't be happier to actually participate, let alone be in the top 5! This jam has been one of the best moments of my life and I can't thank y'all enough. Going to work out a full version of Back to the nest, called Rust Bird! It's going to be sick

[@captainCaybrew]

The art in the game looks amazing, really think it could do well on steam.

[@izmckenna]

definitely my favorite of the 5!!!

Good job man, keep it up! Goodluck!

[@sgy]

Ok

[@lene4137]

You're frickin insane man, keep up the good work!

[@tenacity25]

Eraser was sooo sick. Honestly gameplay like that would be amazing as its own full standalone game. Like imagine an entire platformer game with those mechanics for movement, a full story/levels and everything. That's insane. That'd be awesome.

[@Korinengamecorp]

Yeah, the way you chain dashes reminds me of Ori, but without being an obvious rip-off. We need more fluid platforming mechanics like that

[@WanderTheNomad]

@@Korinengamecorp The art and the perspective really differentiate it from Ori

[@godlyvex5543]

Eraser reminds me, level design wise, of Juke's Towers of Hell. Obviously the movement mechanics are a lot more jammin than that game, and is less focused on perfectly-precise movement, but still bears a great similarity.

[@Ringating]

dev here, thank you for the kind words! I'd really like to flesh out the project into a full non-foddian game, but to start I'm actually releasing a free steam version w/ multiplayer! the steam page is live, but the soonest that version can be playable is nov 29 (assuming my game passes their inspection).
