Very simple but fun to play! I especially enjoyed moving around since while the game felt a bit floaty, it also made it fun as a movement-based game.

Glad you had fun playing the game. :D I tried to make the gameplay enjoyable. I would've liked to have more time to add more mechanics but had to keep it simple for the time crunch.

Nice graphic style, I didn't read correctly and started collecting all the orange orbs haha

Developer

Thank you. Collecting the Purple Gems is to beat the game, the orange ones are for increasing your Score. :D

Like the idea of platforming design. I really like the transparency about the assets. Nice work for the one person in 36H! I think that jumping is pretty to easy with a double jump.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the game. I tweaked the jumping variables a bit but they were never perfect for what I wanted. So sometimes you super jump and sometimes you don't, haha.

Nice, a little basic but nice :) Would need a proper level design . Also some collider work on the platforms-rocks, sometimes it was hard to perform a jump from them.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the game. Yeah, some of the colliders need to be scaled a bit differently. The checkGround method can mess up on angled surfaces and not reset the double jump counter, which I was trying to fix. I tweaked the numbers on that because the player would bounce a bit off the floor and cause the checkGround to be weird.

That was interesting, I'm wondering about the necessity of collecitng the 3 purple gem, as I did a better score without them 😆
That was fun to play 👍

Developer

Are you sure there's only 3? The full title is the hint.

There is 60 purple gems XD ?

Actually I got 4 before I just missed the count and it stop the game at the 4th, I don't get the title's hint xD

Developer(+1)

Hahaha, just 4 purple gems. The hint is "There and back again". And since you got all 4, that's good and you didn't need the hint.

Great game! I liked the artstyle and the sound design was really solid. Movement felt crisp and I tried to speedrun after a few tries. My highest score was 690 with collecting all of the orange and purple gems. I think my score rolled over from different attempts because sometimes I started at 300 points. Other than that, I can see how this game can be expanded upon using multiple levels or making the map bigger with more purple gems. Very nice job!

Developer

Oh wow, I didn't notice that I didn't reset variables when restarting the game, that's funny. Glad you had some fun attempting high scores. I would like to add additional levels with different environments and maybe more mechanics.
