Just wow.
The Game design in this game is fantastic. I love the mechanics and they are really fun to play with. The freeze of position was good and also the thrusting. But combining them in level two to shoot is just genious.
As you said already you have some bugs you could not figure out. Defenitely true. But I think this is mainly the movement coding and can be fixed with some prectice and tutorials. It was not gamebreaking and the game is still fun, wich is good. And the design of the mechanics defenitely shine nevertheless.
After discovering the combination to shoot i got excited what power i would get next and how to combine them.
The Music is really nice, too.
So this is a really solid foundation to build upon and I would love to play a more polished version.
Really noice!
Wow o.o
Thanks for your feedback, it almost made me cry haha I got really motivated to keep working on this project.
For now, I will just continue with the unity course that I'm doing, so I can have enough skills to really make what I want to make and solve the bugs that at this point I don't know how to fix. Once I'm done with that, I think I will take this project again and try to make a more complete and polished game.
But really, thank you for giving me this awesome feedback. I really appreciate it and it helps me a lot. Like, you took the time to really comment on my game and highlight different features of it. So, yeah. Really really appreciate it <3
You're very welcome. Since I am also just starting out with game development I know that helpful feedback is precious so I try to write a bit more than "your came is cool, rate mine!"
To continue with a course is great and thats also on my list after I worked a bit on the bugs of my own game. And come back later with more tools in the toolbox.
Good luck on your GameDevJourney!
Thank you and wish you the best too n.n I'm really invested in what you will come up with next because I already enjoyed a lot playing "Robot Robot" :)
Maybe when I get more pro we can work on a game jam together :) I would really like to participate in the GMTK jam, but it hasn't been announced yet. So maybe to that point, I will be done with my courses and have enough skills to work on a team. Let me know if you are interested n.n
Sure why not. Would like to try working in a team sometime. When there is a jam you are interested in, shoot me a massage.
Definitely, I will n.n
Very nice art style! Could be even better with some animations though. Also, the levels could use some checkpoints, starting from the beginning when you get hit once is a bit frustrating
I totally agree! I didn't have the knowledge at the time to animate or to make some checkpoints, because I took part in this jam in the middle of a Unity course I'm doing. So for future jams, I think I'll be more pro to add that kind of features n.n
Thanks for your feedback! Really appreciate it.
The art is really nice and I like the idea! Good job!
Thank you <3
nice music and art!
thanks a lot. I will try out your game too later n.n
hehe I just realize that I already did .-.
Cool game. Nice music and graphic art. In my opinion a little slow, maybe I would speed up the movement of the character a little.
Thank you for your feedback!! I agree that it could have been a little bit faster.
I had fun playing this! The graphics are cute and the music is chill, it gives the game a nice atmosphere ^^
I find the "freeze" mechanic super interesting, there's good potential here... The jet-pack power up (I forgot the actual name... Thrust? What happens with the space bar, basically!) is cool too, if a bit chaotic as soon as you try to modify the direction (I don't know if it's deliberate or not, though I do find it hillarious)
I also noticed that when you jump on a platform, the character automatically bounce on the platform like it's jumping once again? I think that's why the jumps felt a bit buggy at first.
Overal I think it's a cool little game!
Thank you so much T.T
The platform bug I did notice once I was too deep into the development, so I didn't have the time nor the knowledge to fix it quickly and continue with the features I wanted to finish. And I also think the thrust mechanic was good but it could have been more polished to be in balance between controllable and chaotic.
Again, thank you very much for trying it out and for taking the time to give me this awesome feedback :)
Take care n.n
Nice game! The art style was really cute! Good job!
Thank you n.n I appreciate it
I love your art style! And your game idea is really cool!
Nice drawings!!! I like the style and little power up monsters. And the ctrl mechanic is an interesting one, I've never seen it before!
haha thank you for playing.
Did it crash with the second power-up? I hope you tried the PC version, because it crashes on the browser.
And the crtl mechanic happened accidentally hahaha but I liked it too.
Yeah I used the pc version! I couldn't get too far because I kept dying in very stupid ways, like jumping and freezing myself right in front of the enemies... But I liked the thrust animation, it was super fun! Flying yey!
Two things that would make the game way more enjoyable are:
-A revised movement code, because jumping is kind of buggy, if I keep my finger on the up arrow then release it the character jumps again. The problem might be that you're making the character jump on key down AND on key release?
-A lives system or maybe a checkpoint system because having to redo all the level when I die this often was a bit frustrating :(
The speed of the character was good! and I liked the levels.
Thank you for trying it ou
Great game! I adore the little creature designs, and it felt really good to collect them and unlock new abilities.
I think using ctrl to use the freeze ability was a little tricky, another key might have been better.
Other than that I had a lot of fun playing! I'm excited to see what else you make
Thank you so much for playing my game n.n
I didn't think that the control key could have been troubling for someone to get used to. So thank you for making me see something that I didn't even think about. Take care, and I look forward to sharing my future projects with you and to playing your games as well.
Pretty neat game! I liked it a lot.
If you can, and have time, please rate my game:

Thanks for trying it out n.n
Hey, nice work! Those aliens are so cute :D
Please rate mine if you have time:
https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929939
thank u you for try out my game. I will definitely play yours too n.n
Very good!! I love the design of the character the only thing is an error ocurred and i cant pass of the first level
Please download the PC version T.T
I'm aware of that error but it occurred at the very last minute. So I didn't have time to fix it.
On the PC version, it doesn't crash. So please try it out there.
oh great, I'll try the PC version
thank u n.n
Unique! I had fun but the platforming physics were a bit off, going through walls, and at one point kept moving left even though I had Control Pressed. Might be because I was using Right-Control instead of left, which sort of works but the alien friend doesn't animate to match.
Thank u so much for trying it out.
I swear that if I had the knowledge to fix all of those bugs (and I am very aware of them) I would have fixed them. But for now, I think it's ok. This is also the first game jam that I participate in and I did everything on my own. So in spite of all those bugs, I'm very proud of this project.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback, and I will definitely try out your game and give some feedback as well.
Thanks, you should definitely be proud especially as your first jam. Bugs are basically inevitable in a jam setting. Personally, I forgot about trackpad users when my game requires both left and right mouse button to be used at the same time... It happens!
I agree! From here on out, my game development skills can only get better :)
i got a memory access out of bounds error when getting the second character.
I like the idea of the game, was curious what the other powers would do.
I'm glad that you were curious. If you want to play the whole game, please download the PC version of it. that version works without crashing n.n
wow, this game reminded me of a game i played when i was like rly small!!
good job!
if u can check my game it wo
it would be awsome*
You got my review :)
Can you check mine too? :)
sure
Thank you so much n.n I'm happy that you liked it. I will definitely try out your game and give you some feedback :)
