You Win! haha ^^ very short but I agree this has so much potential, very unique mechanic and super intuitive. Quick make something out of this before someone steals your this mechanic haha ^^

This has a lot of potential! I dig the mechanic and could definitely see a lot of cool stuff done with it, with some more polish and better puzzle design. This works pretty well as a proof of concept and I hope you continue working on this, I can totally see this becoming a full release!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I will keep working on the game after the game jam.

Cool concept, almost like portal! A bit more variety in the level design could go a long way too! The foggy aesthetic and the objects moving around by themselves definitely gave it a creepy vibe!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I will work on the game after the game jam is over.

This was a great concept and visually looks great. With a little bit more challenging levels and some new mechanics could see this being a full game. Can't wait to see what you do post-jam!

Interesting concept, I agree with the other comments that the level design is a bit simple

That's a really cool puzzle game idea! It was really easy once I figured out what I was supposed to do. If I had a suggestion for how to make it more interesting, having the floor be dangerous so that you have to make bridges across could add some more challenge and maybe objects that the zipline can't be attached to, etc. Great start!

Things I liked

  • The concept of the game is really super cool!
  • The graphics are really great. The 90s style is super well done here! Congrats to the visual artist.
  • Levels are short and don't drag on too long.

Improvements:

  • I found the atmosphere kinda weird. It's kinda Silent Hill esque but it's not actually a horror game. There's creepy horror ambience but its a game about controlling little glowing cubes in order to get to a bigger cube. It just feels like those two concepts don't really match haha.
  • The level design is very bare bones and they're pretty much just all variations of level 1. 
  • The cubes to place the zipline with move super slowly. Whenever I wanna move my zipline I have to wait so long. It would be better if they just instantly came into place. 
  • An in-game tutorial would've went a long way.
  • Every level can be completed in the extact same way. You just walk up to the first baricade you see, place a zipline hovering slightly over it, then walk on top of the zipline and get to the end.
  • You claim its a puzzle game but there are literally no puzzles at all.

I know I have a lot of criticisms, but that's beacuse I really do love this concept a lot. If you chose to take this project on post-jam, then I would love to see where it goes!

I enjoyed the game. An interesting traversal mechanic. I think you need to make it impossible to stand on the glowing cubes at the end of the zipline, since just by standing on the end you can skip the entire zipline mechanics and beat the game without it.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I will try fixing those things after the game jam is over.
