Love the artwork and the amount of content you did in a week is crazy :D

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

very cool and nice art!

Developer

Thanks! :)

Submitted

Even tho in the description you mentioned youre bad at art i really think this is an artistic masterpiece. The way the colors change and the weather changez it gives off a super nice vibe. I love the concept and i think you should keep working on this possibly as a commercial release?

Rated 5 stars.

Developer

Hehe, thanks a lot for these kind words :) Sometimes i am better at these things than i actually realize :) I really wanted to put all of my skills in its current state to use, and that is what you experienced in this game. I want to improve in all these area's. Making games is deffinetly a good way to get motivated to do so! A commercial release has not crossed my mind yet but who knows, maybe  i will :) Thanks for making my day :)

Acoustic tracks in a game always gives me a smile! Some bolder drawn lines and rearrangement of the platforms would do wonders here!

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

really cool art style, a shame that some of the lines of the drawings are too thin and are hard to see, you put a lot of time drawing your levels, the platformer controller is smooth no difficulty whatsoever with that, great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! I wanted to redo some of the sketches i did in the early stages because they are too thin indeed. But then i ran out of time ;p

Submitted

thats one of the perks of the jam the time is always against us

Submitted

love the art style, I can tell that you put in a lot of effort. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yes this took me over 50 hours to make! But i was also learning unity an C# in the process :) Thanks for noticing!

Submitted

Nice art style! Very hard also, if you fall you have to start all over again xD

Developer

Thank you :) initially the game was even harder haha ;p but playtesting revealed that i should tune it down. These kind of games always need some kind of difficulty though :)  I will check out your game now :)

Submitted

Yeah you are right. I got some flashbacks from Getting Over It lol

Submitted

I downloaded the file but I can't open it. What do I need to do?

Developer

where you able to unrar it?

Submitted

no. how do you do that?

Developer (1 edit)

Its like a zip file, you can use a program like 7zip or winrar to unpack it.

Submitted

sorry :( 

my computer is not letting me play it. looks like a cool game though.

Developer

no worries, you can check out the youtube video attached to the page if you are interested in how it looks :)

Such a  fun and relaxing game with a very unique art style. I really enjoyed playing this! Well done!

Developer

Thanks alot :) i played your game aswell :)

Submitted

The idea is good and good mechanics! Good job!

P.S. The art is an awesome, very unique game :)

Please check my game as well ;)

Developer

Thanks :) i checked out your game aswell :)

Submitted

I loved how the game looks like a sketch book :D. Controls were responsive and nice so that a point from me :D My only issue is that i kept falling while climbing up maybe adding a checkpoint system can make the game a bit easier.Other than that it was dashing and kicking around. Overall great game :D

Developer

Thanks a lot :) It was actually a design decision to sometimes fall back to the area below, however at some point you obtain dash or double jump and then getting back to your original spot gets easier. I decided early on that i was not going to include death mechanics, this was my way of introducing some difficulty. thanks for your review, i will check out your game aswell :)

Submitted

I really like the game, the artstyles cool and the musics nice. The only problem I have is I think it could be more obvious where the platforms are. Other than that, great game!

Developer

Thank you :) you are right that the platforms sometimes aren't visible enough. I was trying to balance the game for every possible route, and that meant i had to balance space between the platforms for both only double jump and only dash ;p because i also wanted double jump and dash to have value ;p but that meant that i had to place these platforms really far and with my setup, kind of out of vision. Definitely something i would do differently in the future :)

Submitted

I liked the game the art is unique I've given you 5 stars you can try out my game https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-3/rate/899688 and give some stars and feedback

Submitted

The art is unique and the music is really good, great job!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

had fun playing your game, great animations, i really loved the sketchy art! something i didnt like is sketches dont look nice with green background, but with yellow it was great. it was quite challenging :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your comment :) i wanted to redo some sketches to increase visibility, but there was a lot of other stuff i wanted to do aswell ;p And then i ran out of time :P

Submitted

Awesome art! I'd love if you checked out my game as well!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Submitted

Cool game art, something new for games

Developer

Thanks! :)

Submitted

Hey, this looks really cool, but when I download it and try to open the file, it won't run. I don't know if its too late to edit the file, but you will need to include everything from your game's build. If you change this, let me know and I will play. Good Luck!

Developer(+1)

Hey thanks for your comment :) That wierd though because everything from the build folder is in there. Also my friends can download and run it. I just attached a playthrough video to this page if you still want to check it out :)

Submitted

Sure, I'll watch the play through and rate through that. Any feedback on my game would be appreciated too!

Submitted

I watched the play through. The art looks really great and the homemade music is brilliant as well! its cool that the color changes throughout the game as well. The platforms that move up and down look like they could be quite challenging, maybe slow them down or something? Overall, it looks really cool! Well Done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot :) i will check out your game aswell!
