How does you game fit the theme?
Cognition fits the theme by having a narrator speaking to you, therefore, you are not alone!

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Our team made all the assets during the game jam, with the exception of the main character sprite and the crate (which are heavily modified sprites from an asset pack by Anokolisa)

This game. This flipping game. I like it a lot. I actually stumbled upon it through randomizer but it is actually so darn good. From the level design to the visuals and the puzzles, it's honestly well put together. And above all of that is the narrator, whose voice I really enjoyed. It honestly didn't feel like I was alone whilst playing this.

Amazingly well done! Keep it up!

Oh wow thanks so much for sharing your good experience i really appreciate you taking the time to play this little game of ours. Feels good to see all our work coming together and paying off!

This game is amazing. The visuals are stunning. Putting that text in the background was a really nice touch. The level design is very good, too. It's the perfect mix between challenging, yet fun. Although, one thing I didnt like about the level design is that there are a few instances where the gravity potion will be off-screen mid-fall, and if you dont time it perfectly, it'll lead to your death. Other than that, i really liked listening to the narrator and what he had to say. 

All in all, this game almost perfect with amazing visuals and really good level design. If this doesn't get at least top 3, i will be shocked. Amazing job on this!

Developer(+1)

Really???? My God wow! Thanks so much for your comment it means so much! And yeah the blind jumps and switches were a bit of an issue, and it would have been worse had i not nerfed a bunch of the levels haha!

Submitted(+1)

Love it! I enjoyed the narration a whole lot, and the level design was tricky but not unfair. I did get stuck eventually due to the crates not resetting when I died, but I'm sure that would be an easy fix.

Developer(+1)

You can restart level by ESC menu, give it a shot!

Developer(+1)

Ah i'm so pleased you enjoyed the narration haha! Yeah the crates not resetting was a problem but time constraints and all that you know.

A really great game. The overall artstyle is absolutely beautiful. The music is really relaxing to listen to and the narrator is great. I see you took inspiration from the Portal games and games like The Stanley Parable, all of which I love. The puzzles are very satisfying to solve and the pacing of the game is incredible. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much I feel like this is a dream with the fact that everyone likes it so far! Yeah i took great inspiration from portal when adding little easter eggs!

Submitted(+2)

The best game I've tried in the jam by far. Including our game lol

Really well done. Love all the graphics and audio. Got to a level that seemed to be bugged as I couldn't teleport through one of the portals. It's like 3 were linked together, instead of in 2 pairs. 

In any way - great job! Keep it up!

Developer

Ecstatic that you liked it it means a lot! Also yeah needed one more day to finish polishing and removing weird bugs haha!

Submitted(+1)

Oh, boy, I think I need 20 days to do that for our game :D

Submitted(+2)

there's so much content in this game and the narrator was great. I'm a huge sucker for anything portal like and referencing portal was the cherry on top. Good Work and keep it up!

Developer

Thanks so much for your kind words it really means the world to me! So glad you enjoyed the narrator as well I felt obliged to add portal references as there are portals in the game xD

Submitted(+2)

Lots of polish went into this. The game looks and feels really nice, and the puzzles are really fun to play through with some nice references to games like Portal and The Stanley Parable. Really impressive what you were able to put into this in such a short time, especially with the great sound design and voice acting, awesome submission.

Thanks for sharing this and good luck in ratings. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.

Developer

Yeah i haven't played TSP but i really want to as i saw the narrator and the way he talked so i was inspired by that and i was especially inspired by GLaDOS. Also I will try your game just maybe a bit later as I am going to be busy tonight!

Submitted(+2)

I like the Narrator, Controls felt nice and polished, didn't manage to do the last level tho! but you did good here. the anti gravity thing and portals were fun to mess around with, good game! 

Developer(+1)

So glad you enjoyed it! It's made me so happy to see people actually like something that I have made!

Submitted(+1)

Some interesting and fun mechanics, not just an ordinary platformer. And the narrating was the most entertaining part! :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it! And yeah im glad people are enjoying the narrator xD

Submitted(+1)

Developer

Thanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed playing it!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun and solid game! Also did you record the voice of the narrator?

Developer

I did indeed! It was me and whilst playing it i cringed at the sound of my voice haha! But thanks for the kind words I really appreciate it!

Cheers!

I just loved the narration, made me laught loud a couple of times 😂

I also like the level design a lot.

Developer

Thank you jimmy! Will see if narrator is also gonna comment this down below

Developer(+1)

Hello it is the narrator here! So glad you enjoyed it haha! Your comment made me so happy thanks for posting it!

Ok, apparantly game jam comments and game page comments are seperate.
Mad portal vibes, decently made platformer. My main issue is that the camera does a bad job of allowing you to look ahead vertically so you have to make some leaps of faith not being able to see where you are going to land.

Developer(+1)

I really should work on camera movements on my next games like this :D

Developer(+1)

Yeah I definitely wanted to add some portal easter eggs into it! Also yeah that would be a nice thing to add, thanks so much for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Seriously, good job to all of you!

Developer

Ah thanks so much! Feels good to know all the hard work is paying off!

Submitted(+2)

I ended up stuck in what was likely the last level, couldn't figure out how to pass it.

I really enjoyed this game, great voice, great puzzles, great progressive tutorial !

Developer

You can always restart by pressing ESC if you can't pass boxes on middle!

Submitted

Oooh I didn't see that ! I will try again !

Developer

Ah thanks! Yeah it's hard to balance stuff when you know every level inside and out, but yeah we could have made it a tad more balanced, thanks for taking the time to write us a comment it means a lot!

Submitted(+2)

Great game love the narrator

Developer

Really? That was me haha! Glad you enjoyed it, although I always cringe at the sound of my own voice!

Submitted(+2)

Very cool game, for me it was pretty challenging in some parts. Nice job!

Developer

Glad you had fun! Yeah some parts can be hard (not for me I had to play every level around 20 times so I could make a 7 minute run xD)

Submitted(+3)

Sounds are Really GOOD ,  the Same can be said about the Graphics .. and the Mechanics!


Overall: a Great Experience!

Developer(+1)

Woah thanks for the great feedback it really means a lot!
