Nice job getting the game packaged, makes it much more accessible for players. I've come across a few other python games that didn't do this.
This game is really really difficult! I can't seem to get past the first 1 to 3 obstacles. I'd love to see some gameplay of a good run, I feel like I might be missing something. I think the concept is good, just wish I had a little bit more control of the ball. The teleporters were a cool addition. Congrats on the entry, keep it up!
Thank you for your feedback. I have added a short You Tube video of me playing and giving some tips on the game page. Let me know if you can access the video or have any more questions/ feedback reagarding the video.
I survived the game for about 15 seconds tops, but I appreciate the concept you were going for. It's clever to use the size to alternate the bounce height. It did make it difficult to strategize -- like is my starting point RNG since I can't control the trajectory of the ball, or when is the best time to change the ball size? The teleport nodes made the progression interesting. The background with the retro sun and music used was very cool. Building the game from pygames sounds extremely difficult, so kudos to you on that. :)
Went and hunted down the dist.zip, you might put it on your game page I think that doesn't break any rules as it doesn't change what's uploaded here.. The background and art are really nice, I love the aesthetic and the sound is nice and aggressive. The gameplay is really innovative but brutally hard like flappy bird but much much harder. I really like the idea but the model you are using felt slightly inconsistent, like sometimes I felt like I'd fall faster if I got smaller. Also occasionally I wouldn't get a score when I went under something. Anyways, awesome to see someone using pygame, that's really making this thing work from the ground up. Great job getting it running and getting it packaged! I'd love to see more games messing with density and scale and bouncing and changing momentum based on scale.
Thank you for the feedback. I think I finally managed to get the dist.zip file on the main page. When I finished my game I also realized how hard it is... I guess you are always better at your own game xD. Maybe to clear up the confusion the scoring system is supposed to add up over time and not by obstacle which might be a bit confusing for the player in retrosepct. I will change that.
Hi! I noticed that this is created with pygame. I think it is better to wrap the whole project into a ZIP first and upload once, so we got to play it easily without needing to reorganize the whole components.
I would eager to try a pygame submission!
I think I already did what you suggested (not sure though) I habe created a dist.zip file in the GitHub repository. You should be able to download and play it directly without breeding to install Python/ pygame. Let me know if it works please.
That dist.zip you've just created, you need to upload them here so more people will get to notice & play your game and don't need to open GitHub repo to install it.
But anyway, I downloaded the dist.zip from your github repo and it worked on my machine. You really need to put it here on the itch.io game page.
You nailed the theme interpretation. The idea of variable jumping power according to the scale is fresh & great and this is my first time experiencing this concept!
I am not sure I am allowed to change my submission or the files I uploaded. Or at least I don´t know how. I changed the install Instructions on my main Game page but this somehow doesn´t transmit to the submission page. But thank you for the kind feedback. I appreciate it.
