I died so many times. But I am glad the game wasn't too long. Good fun overall.

Good concept, it is difficult on the timed part, especially the slow spikes. The music is cool and I do like the three roles! This is definitely something I have never seen! 

Developer

After 1st checkpoint I just quit.  A bit too hard other wise cool game. Please do try mine if you can: https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-1/rate/318930

Thanks for playing! After the jam, I will make the part after the checkpoint a bit easier.

I really liked your game!

I've posted a video on the game page so you can see the whole game!

Fun, a bit on the difficult side, but I think that it works. from the 2nd platform you inform the player that the game will be brutal. The only two improvements I could recommend would be to add telegraphs for the player to learn from.  For example an animation on the unformed platforms that flash if they have spikes.  The treadmill sections on some of the platforms need some sort of indicator that they are there. That way they can learn to play with the mechanics.

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! I hope to update once the jam has ended!

Not a problem. Thanks for making a fun game with cute old school sprite.

I like the gameplay even if the challenge is hard. That background though is too harsh. It is way to distracting and in your face. Plus it blends in with the platforms which makes it hard to move around. 

Developer

Yeah, I've made a new background image, and will update it once the jam has finished!


Thanks so much for the feedback!

It fits into the theme well, and I like how the game gets progressively harder as you switch roles. :) The game might be a bit too hard tho. 

Developer

Thanks! My goal was for it to be difficult, although I did not expect it to be this difficult!

It's a nice game but it's hard to work out where the platforms and bubbles are because of the background... Try to keep your background rather simple and make sure your interactive objects stick out... For the rest it has good music that fits the game :D

Developer

Thanks so much! I was able to find an amazing site called https://pernyblom.github.io/abundant-music/index.html, and after a while, I found a really good soundtrack!
