What a cute game! I love the idea, the artwork is fantastic, the music is great, and the controls feel good. This may be because I'm not much of a platform player, but I could not get past the first couple of platforms. I tried for about 15 minutes and gave up. I thought maybe I was on the hardest difficulty, or clicked the wrong option, but it seems that I'm on the first level and its too hard for me. Would love to see some difficulty options or a more gradual build up to the difficulty which would allow me to learn the game a little better. That being said, everything else about the game is great! 

Thank you for your review, i really appreciate! Yes, the game is intentionally hard, but apparently too much because you're not the only one stuck at the beginning haha, and it may be a bit frustrating for a majority of players. I will soon upload a new version with adjustable difficulty for this reason. But it's nice if you still enjoyed this quick experience!

That's great, thank you! And nice work 😊

nice little game

Game isn't running on the itch app store. Anyone know a fix? BTW I'm using the Ubuntu version.

I tested it on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (64bits) and it worked for me on the itch app. What kind of error do you have? Is it working without the app?

The game crashed upon opening. I downloaded it and tried opening with terminal. It gave me the error "./GetItBack!: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I installed libopenal and tried again. "./GetItBack!: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I installed libglu1-mesa and tried again. "./GetItBack!: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./GetItBack!)" I haven't had any luck past that point. It may be because I'm running Debian 10.

So, i did a bit of research (i'm not familiar with Linux) and i found that the problem is indeed linked to the version i used to compile the game (20.04), which use GLIBC_2.29 that you don't have on Debian 10. So i set up a virtual machine of Ubuntu 18.04, and compiled the game with it : now it should be playable on older versions! I put a second zip to download above, can you tell me if it works? Also, thanks to your comment i realised that 2 dependencies are needed in order to run the game (libcurl4 and libopenal1) and added them to the install instructions!

Thank you. The game is working perfectly on my pc now.
