Ranked from 31 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does you game fit the theme?
The game is a platformer, but the platforms you jump on are not real (invisible). Instead of looking at the platforms, you have to touch them to feel them.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except for 1 or 2 lines of code! Unfortunately the sounds for the player and the menu don't work correctly in the WebGl version, so make sure you download the Windows version for the full experience!

This was really atmospheric! This game definitely has a lot of polish, with all of the levels, game mechanics, and visual effects you were able to add in! The movement is great, and the little trail the player leaves behind is really aesthetic! Unfortunately, since I'm bad at games, I was only able to get to Level 18, but I definitely plan to give it another go! And by that I mean have my more skilled friends play it for me so I can enjoy the experience from afar XD This was an incredible entry though! It's awesome that you were able to get all of this done in a week! Amazing work!

Really cool implementation of the theme. Graphics were effective and I thought it would be frustrating, but it was actually fun to try to figure out the level design or outsmart you and predict what the level is. Great work!

I'd appreciate if you'd play my game too.

Yooo I just played your game well done! I liked how you can use the jumping and gravity mechanic both for good and bad.


Keep it up!

Submitted

Very nice music, very simplistic art style, simple yet sweet game play. Nice game, good work :)

Cool game, I liked how you introduced concepts (like boost jump) the could both hurt and harm you. "Feeling" your way through a level is also such a cool spin on this style of game, as I figured it out I couldn't help but smile. Maybe you could further encourage exploring and dying in the game for the people saying its frustrating, I had a really fun time creating a mental map of each level once I was okay not making it through on the first go

Submitted

Nice controls and a neat idea! Would be cool to have some visual clues and more art to spice things up. 

Submitted

Neat game with solid controls. But I feel making the platforms completely invisible makes the game feel less rewarding when completing. Maybe you could have the platforms start to become visible when the player runs over them or telegraph through spikes and colors on where the player is supposed to go.  But still, nice game!

Nice little game ! Graphics were simple, but efficient, and the gameplay is polished and very responsive =). However, the whole "trial and error" concept is a bit frustrating... I would have enjoyed a way to tell where are the platforms without having to try blindly ^^'. But otherwise, this is a solid entry, congratulations ^^ !

Developer

Thankyou! I thought about displaying the level with visible platforms for a few seconds before you play it, but I thought that would make it easy. I do think that definitely could have been an option if made levels harder though.

Submitted

This was something else! Great game!

I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^

Submitted

Nice work!

Submitted

nice game bro. A FEEDBACK: you could add a trail that doesn't destroy so that we as a player can take a note of our previous move of the same level to avoid that trail path. cuz as level progresses it becomes real hard to take note of path.

Submitted

Such a time killer for the long roads or before sleeping. It'd be fun to play on mobiles

Submitted

Really cool game ! I like the ambiance and the progression is really well thought. Congrats !

Submitted

Hey, great job with this! The controls are very fluent and I really enjoyed sitting down with it. It's also more self-explanatory than you might think! I don't think you need the text in the background. The whole game is made up by trial and error, so to try out a new power would feel natural. That would make the game a bit cleaner. Other than that, it was great! Well done!

Developer

Thankyou! That is a good point, a lot of the explanations are probably not needed, as some are pretty obvious.

Nice music and relaxing game, simple but great, but lot's of trolls -_-
