Glad you're getting some enjoyment out of it! Yeah I thought it's funny how Mario and Luigi never seem to do any plumbing.
This reminds me a lot about something...

Can't imagine what it reminds you of... ;)
Cute little game! I like the way it introduced mechanics subtly, like teaching you jumps and movements on the title screen and introducing the story along with the mechanics in one. While the movement was a little weird to get used to due to the fact that you can't jump, it was fun in a puzzle-like way to figure out how best to traverse the levels considering this limitation, so it's like two puzzles in one, what value! I enjoyed my time, but there was definitely some little confusions here and there but nothing major. For example, I thought the geiger counter circle pulse was actually the game just trying to let me know where my character was all the time: I was getting so annoyed until I realized it was trying to let me know a chicken was near, haha! Also, I was expecting that I'd need to pick up the chickens and deposit them at home as well: a bit strange to just have them continue to run around: makes it feel like I'm not done. Furthermore, I was so confused when, after collecting all of the chickens, which was given so much importance that I thought it was the only goal, to suddenly realize that I needed to fix the leaks as well (and the leaks weren't the places where water is leaking like I thought, but rather the missing patches in pipes). All in all, though, I figured it all out and I had a great time!

Thanks! I didn't want to just make another platformer that wouldn't stand out so I went with the idea of a platformer with no jumping*. Pico-8 only has limited map space so it encourages you to make the levels more dense and puzzle-like. Again, to try and make the game stand out, I thought adding a little story would give it a bit more personality.
I started with the idea of having the player also collect the chickens in too, but I thought it would be more keeping in with the 'but they're actually plumbers' gimmick and say no, they're plumbers, not pest control. Maybe that can be a sequel XD
Great game! I love the retro graphics and controls are spot on. Very fun to play when im bored.
Extar responds:
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! It's great to know people are enjoying your game after all the work it takes :D
The controls took a lot of adjustment and testing to get the right 'feel'. :)
All the graphics were provided by Tom Hall & co. for everyone in the jam to use. They were really easy to work with, and look great. :)
Graphics are very retro inspired, but can be confusing. Some of the background colors are the same as the front ground ones. Controls take time to master since you can not exactly jump. This game is a great tribute to old school Mario Bros.
Extar responds:
Glad you enjoyed it! The graphics were all the work of Tom Hall & co. who put the start cart together for the jam, it was great working with them. There is indeed *no jumping* ;)
