Great platformer! It would be convenient to jump with UP/W too. And I think, the isGrounded check before jumping is to restrictive. The jump does not always (50% of the time) work, when the caracter is in motion.

hei nice game :)

i think there could be some coyote time when leaving a plattform

Cool! but I got stuck into the ground in the 2nd level

That was an intentional game design kind of like the player holding on for dear life on the platform. You can press R for restarting the level. Glad you found it cool , though!!

So great game , I really enjoyed it!

I liked the idea, the unique mechanics, the gameplay, and almost everything else... Well done! Great work!

I'd really appreciate it if you could try out my game too, rate it, and share your feedback. It would mean a lot!

Developer

Thank you so much, I def will!!

Cool game! I like balancing mechanics, and level have some interesting ideas.  There is some issue with jumping tho - solid entry none the less!

Developer

Thank you so much for taking the time to play it and giving feedback!!

Great game! The unstable platforms worked really well. I feel like I never got the hang of them. I was suprsied how many mechanics were in the game. I really thought it would be just the one level! Some feedback I had was to try to use assets that are all in the same style, I noticed you used some pixel art and some vector stuff. I thought the setting was pretty cool, tho. Nice work and heres to many more game jams!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback!!

Great job for your first jam! a very interesting idea, you had the balancing platforms working correctly, and good level design! The only negative feedback I have is that sometimes the jump action wasn't being triggered. Probably a bug you can fix after the jam. Congrats!

Developer

Thank you so much !!

Love the art and the graphics, I would agree with the points raptor9999 pointed out but an impressive first game. Would love more levels!

Developer

I unfortunately cant take credit for the art and graphics as I used assets that were mostly available online 馃檭. But, glad you enjoyed it !!

Nice job especially for a first game jam! Controls are decent, levels are decently designed, and have a good progresssion. Good job on the balance theme with doing the balancing platforms! 

Would be nice to have more levels and some music and or sound effects too but great job on submitting this much!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your feedback!! Will definitely work on adding more levels!!

Submitted

I liked the use of balance to create an interesting mechanic! The art is also very good. I can fall off the side of the level and thing a little music would be great. Great game!

Developer(+1)

I unfortunately cant take credit for the art and graphics as I used assets that were mostly available online 馃檭. About the music, I wanted the feel to be mostly sound effects, but did not get time to add more sound effects. I'm really glad you enjoyed it !!

You still managed to pick good assets and arranged them well!

Very cool game, levels are pretty nice and the balance theme is very well implemented.

I would have loved a better control on jump, sometimes I pressed the jump key and the character didn't jump. Congratz!

Submitted

Interesting game. I like the idea of the beams moving around especially on the second level where they have lots of different connectors meaning the beam behaves differently to the others. One thing I found is that the jump didn鈥檛 always work which meant it took me a long time to complete one level. This seemed to happen when the beams are moving as the jump always worked when they were standing still. Other than that I think it鈥檚 a good game and I enjoyed playing it!

Thank you so much for your feedback!! So, that was a mistake on my part that I did not get time to test on itch.io. It worked perfectly in the unity editor but not so well in itch.io, I am unable to locate the issue unfortunately 

Submitted

Oh that鈥檚 a shame! Good game and I enjoyed playing it

Developer(+1)

Great to hear that , also I'm definitely exploring your other games !!!

Submitted(+1)

That鈥檚 great to hear! I think Biome Balancer is by far our best. The other games on my profile were made for the GMTK Game Jam. Be sure to let me know what you think of them!

Submitted

The theme is used in such a clever way, and the level design makes it even more enjoyable! A small suggestion tho. Setting the friction on the physics material to zero could prevent players from getting stuck on edges or walls.馃嵒

Thank you for playing the game!! Curiously, I did try that and it worked in the unity editor but did not work here

Submitted

Funny!!
