Nice and unique platformer. I also really liked the sound effect that plays when you die. My only real complaint is that I kind of didn't like how your character doesn't move along with platforms. Made it kind of difficult to perform certain actions, but otherwise pretty cool. Give my game a try too! :)

Nice game, a bit difficult for me but I'm rather a casual type of player than anything. The game is a bit unforgiving with the character movement and how you can just slip and fall off platforms, but apart from that, it was really enjoyable. Nice job ! :)

Developer

Thank you!

This game,  took me over 20 minutes to finish.... I enjoyed this, the difficulty spiked and only stayed hard and gave me massive Super Meatboy Vibes. The audio was good and I definitely enjoyed this game. Keep up the good work!

We should also rate lower rated games! If we rate all who have lower ratings then we might even get better ratings so start rating most of the least rated games as I'm doing ;) and your game is kinda awesome , cool ,or amazing, keep up the good work, rate me please!

Very Cool! I thought the controls were a bit weird at first, but I got use to them. I also thought the character was a little slippery. Other than that, overall, very nice game!

Thank you!

Great game in all aspects, very funny. I would suggest that the mobile platform moves the player.


Developer

Thank you!

Had a play of your game in this video here - at 01:07:05 -, where I give my thoughts while I play. Hopefully it's helpful feedback. 

I'll admit now, I got stuck at level 3, so I didn't get to experiences all this game had to offer. From what I did get to play though it seemed like a very well polished platformer with some good platformer styled puzzles that worked with the teleportation mechanic.

Two things I think could make the game more accessible for me, after playing, would be some audio feedback on failed teleport attempts, and possibly even a brief visual at the point you failed to teleport to and, if possible, having the player moved with moving platforms, since that is something that I think would have let me be able to get through level 3. A good game, just a bit of a bottleneck for me at level 3, i'll be giving it another try once I've gone through more of the games this jam.

If you have time I'd greatly appreciate it if you could give my game a go to, happy jamming.

Developer

Thank you for playing and giving such great feedback! I already tried your game a couple of days ago. It was tons of fun!

Developer

Just a helpful tip! A lot of people seem to be confused about the portal not appearing sometimes so I thought I would post a quick tip. Its made so that if you are too far away from an empty spot or teleporting would put you in a wall, it will not teleport. I did not add anything to the game that warns you of this so that's why its confusing. Thank you for all the great feedback!

Amazing pixel art. I spent the first five minutes staring at the pixel art. The level design is really good and with each level the difficulty increases and so does the level of fun. Well Done.

The game design blew me away, the visuals even more so and the audio compliments everything perfectly, nice job!

Developer

It looks funny. At first I could not understand why I can not press C on level 1. It turned out I had no portals and they are playful. (I did not read the description, if I understood by typing, it means the game is intuitive)

The only thing is that it’s difficult, and it would be worth re-running when the portals change, a message pops out that the portals are over. I didn’t think about looking in the left corner

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Having a warning when you run out of portals is a good idea.

Submitted(+1)

Nice concept, but the platforms are slippery and you have to keep moving, and it crashes when you teleport inside a wall.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah, restarting the game should fix any bugs you have.

Submitted(+1)

Gameplay was alright with slight issues, for example the player didn't move with the platform which is just a mild inconvenience. Visually game was nice, but you should maybe consider adding some backgrounds to the levels as the pale background is quite dull thematically.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!
