I loved playing this game. Even though it was a bit short, and could have used a bit longer levels, the message it delivered fit the theme perfectly and did that with gorgeous visuals and intriguing gameplay. Sound FX were satisfying and the background music too. The background music could however have either been longer, or have consisted of multiple tracks as I found it quite repetitive.

Developer

Hey there,

Thankyou so much for playing my game and for your generous feedback. For all I remember, you were the first one to notice that I used the theme on the message of the story, Really appreciate for noticing it.

The bg music was really my number 1 concern on this game, would have wanted to add more tracks on it. Ill try to update it after the rating period.

Cheers!!!

Really nice, relaxing game, but the regaining motivation felt a little too button mashy for me. Nice movement code as well, and normally I don't like it when a character doesn't have smooth movement (accel and decel) but I think, as you used a box character, I feel it is ok,  and it didn't hurt the feel of the controls much.

Developer

Hey,

Thankyou so much for your generous feedback. Glad you enjoyed playing my game.

Kinda the smoothest platforming experience of all games from the jam. 

Really like the cute box and the level end animation is just so satisfying.

Also the music and sfx were good.


Check out my game also when you have time :https://i-am-penguin.itch.io/maze-of-the-neglected-triangle

I really liked the colour scheme and the controls also felt snappy and responsive! I even liked how getting hit by those red things wasn't necessarily an end, it was a nice bit of polish being able to shake your player awake! I'm not sure if it was intentional but some dots covered the screen when you jumped in the last level. I also like the goal how it wasn't just a flag, really unique idea- really helped the message of effort be more impactful within the gameplay! Overall, this is a great jam entry!

Developer

Hey Orange Flag,

Thank you so much for your generous and wonderful feedback, really glad that you like the little game I made and for noticing those subtle details I've added on the game :)))).

Those covered dots are new to me, ill look into it after the rating period end.

Cheers!!!

That little blobby thing is so cute. I loved the pixel art and sounds, including the messages that were shown in the levels. (I couldn't get past Day 6, though. It was too hard D:) Great game overall!

(btw play my submission if you have the time :D)

Developer

I like this. The platforming, the inspirational message, the sounds, and the art it's all great. Nice job. (Music gets a little repetitive though) 

Developer

Hey,

Thank you so much for trying out my game and for your feedback.

Glad you like the game, Will work on my music on my next jam.

Cheers!!!

Really cute game! I enjoyed the success sound for beating a level. The music, art, and gameplay fit the theme very well. I got hit by those little red blocks every single time, haha. I noticed you just have to shake it off, but it took me a second to realize I had to hit the keys repeatedly. Not a big deal though. Overall, very fun little game!

Would appreciate it if you check out my game too!

Cute platformer! I liked the wake-up mechanic and the character animations. You even managed to add sound and music. I myself like it when the character has momentum and keeps on moving a bit (particularly during a jump) if I stop movement input, but thats personal taste. Could be worth a try though, if thats something you haven't done before.
Nice work.

Developer

Hey devdave,

Thankyou so much for trying out my game and for you generous feedback, I really appreciate it.
Will look into your suggestion, it seems interesting might try it on my other projects.

Glad you like my little game, means alot.

Lovely! It made my day better with this simple motivational sentences! I encounter some kind of bug with "Day 0" on screen all the time but it didn't interrupt gameplay at all

Developer

Hey DriftingSnail,

Glad my little game had a positive impact to someone's day.

Thankyou for trying out my game and sharing a bug to me, ill look into it when the rating period ends.

I like the idea of being able to revive yourself with A,D

Developer

Hey,

Thankyou for trying out my game and thankyou for your comment.
It was intended to be a kick me up when you have no motivation.

THEME: Does it fit by being minimalistic?

VISUALS: Simple but good.

INNOVATION: I felt like the way you had to press a, d when you got shot was nice!

SOUNDS: Nice!

MUSIC: Nice calming.

DESIGN: I didn't love the controls, I feel like you should have the option to do arrow keys and if you do a and d to move I prefer using w to jump.

OVERALL: Really nice game with a good message.

Developer

Hey,

Thankyou so much for trying out my game and for your generous feedback, I really appreciate it!!!

I would just like to point out about using the theme. I used it as the message of the game "less is more, rather than doing nothing at all".

Cheers!!!

I like the message and not-as-simple-graphics-at-it-may-seem ;]

I had trouble getting this to run on Chrome (but I suspect it was one of my extensions interfering). Firefox worked just fine and I really enjoyed your game. The controls are tight, the narrative interweaves with the levels really nicely. Really solid game :)

Thankyou for your wonderful feedback, I really tried to incorporate the theme as the meaning of the game.
