I don't know why I got some adrenalin rush, mixed with anxiety playing this game xD
The core gameplay is very polished & satisfying, nice music & art too, I want more, really good job mate!
Well I think it's a bit too much anxiety atm, I will fix that soon!
I really appreciate the kind words <3
Woah this game is really good, I really like the simple but still good looking graphics in combination with the music <3 Only thing I'd change is maybe the way jumping works? Imo in order to reach max height you have to hold the button a liitttle bit too long which felt a bit awkward at times, also a reset button would be nice in case you screwed up hahah, I kept re-entering some levels hoping it would reset the level.
But this is probably one of the best games I've played in this game jam, great job <3
Thank you for the kind words!
I do plan on having different type of orbs, and only 1 type won't reset for the puzzles where you need to place them in the right place/gather them. The normal orbs will reset when respawned.
<3
The idea is great and the gameplay is really smooth!
It would have been nice if the orbs reset when we left the room or maybe even a reset button.
Also, nice pun :D
Haha thanks!
The orbs do reset when you leave the room, but I do plan on having only specific orbs nkt reset to make it less daunting.
<3
I had a great time playing your game! I really like the game mechanics and the music was great!
Very interesting game mechanic. Even though it still needs a bit polish (it is a bit too hard getting used to and it would be really nice that levels were resetting when we die) one of the most creative games of the jam. And sound design is amazing. Good job.
Hope you try and rate my game too.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Part of the main mechanic is arranging the orbs by dying, but I do plan on resetting all the orbs and having only a certain type of orb not reset.
<3
Your game is so awesome, awesome machanics good pixel art good ausio what to say more... I think this is the best I've played on this jam ! <3
Also I see we both love the pun ^^
This is an amazing game. The controls feel so.. graceful, like the ball is slowly leaping through the air. It feels calm and elegant. I also really like the lighting from the player and the simple color scheme. Beautiful music as well! Maybe add a hint that shows how you can jump higher by holding the button, since it took me a while to figure it out. Definitely don't get rid of that mechanic though, it's part of what makes the controls feel so good!
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Yes, my friend also told me about the jump. I didn't want to have a lot of text inside the game, so I thought that if I put the first flower in a way which you can only get it if you hold the button it will do the trick. But it doesn't work as I intended it to work.
I will work on that, thank you.
If this isn't the most innovative game of this jam idk what is! The mechanic is great and really well introduced and used in the levels. I like how you can arrange or collect the orbs by dying. The music is great! The spike collider could be a bit smaller and the color theme seems a bit boring (maybe make the orbs green too, so you instantly know they belong to the player) as brown may not be the greatest background color, but overall great entry!
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed it :D
I 100% agree about the spikes, I've already replaced them.
The background is growing more satrurated and colorful with each flower you pick, but unless you know it's coming you won't see it. Should definetely change that too.
I didn't want to make the orbs green when they are activated to now confuse the player about who is the main orb. But in hindsight I could have made them just a darker green or something.
Thank you! Apperciate the critique.
Solid and fun mechanic, really well executed. 5/5 from me.
We had a lot of fun playing the game! Really cool take on the jump mechanic - specially that you keep the orbs after dying allows for some cool strategic positioning of your available jumps. Played it till the end, it was awesome, nice and simple. Music was nice too and added to the atmosphere.
Some graphics variation in the levels, like different colored grounds etc., would have been cool.
All the best, the Wilma & Buddy Team
I tried sooo much games this jam and there were so many fun to play and beautiful and innovativ... but man... you nailed it!! up to now I did not rate all categories with 5/5, but this time I totally had to!!
Amazing!
Really appreciate it, much love <3
Beautiful and relaxing. Music was just awesome ant the whole game felt very polished! Good job!
Great game, creative, amazing audio, fun :D
One of my favorite games in this jam.
so beautiful music. i really enjoyed playing it!
LOVED the audio, platforming feels perfect. Got nothing to nitpick great game
Definatelly goes to my list of TOP games from this jam. Love it all the way thru, and I was even able to get one extra flower :P Really top notch entry and the music with the sounds! Just great! Thank you for this amazing experience
A very innovative way of implementing the theme. I love it. Plus, the control is so smooth and friendly. The design of each level is challenging. Great entry!
Really cool game and very cool mechanic! Loved that the music intensifies with each flower gathered. Jumping feels really satisfying to do. The visuals are minimal, but that puts more focus on the platforming which is cool.
It's really awesome, the gameplay is so clear and simple, rly enjoy it
Super polished jam game, collecting air jumps is a really cool mechanic. Best entry I've played so far this jam!
