really fun game! the only thing I wished it had was some good background music, but literally everything else was fun and well-made. the game had a really polished feel and i liked it a lot! great job man!

Developer(+1)

thanks! some other people have mentioned the lack of music as well so I really should find something good for it! 

Cheers!

I love everything about your game. The gameplay is suberb. Even the audio is great. Awesome work :)

Developer

thanks so much! 

Submitted(+1)

This game is the proof that sometimes simple is the best, loved the gameplay. The levels are well though out and very fun to play. I think the only thing that's really missing is music, but you did an awsome job.

Developer(+1)

thanks for the kind words! yes, I need to find where to find good public domain music....

freesounds.org maybe ?

Fantastic game! Really slick presentation and feel made it a joy to play, and the innovative time freezing mechanic made me think in ways I never wanted to. Nice work!

Developer

think in ways you never wanted to? haha thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing puzzle game, the bullet riding made it feel so good! Level design was also well done, the difficulty curve went up just the right amount! I'd say you could easily make this a game on like a phone and be able to do hundreds of levels like angry birds! 

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed bullet riding as much I do.

If there is enough interest, I just might make more levels!

Really cool game :D played it all. Took me a while in the last level but finally did it. Really nice game design skills. Well done!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you for trying it out! I wasn't sure if the last level was a bit too hard but I wanted it to end with something a bit harder than the rest. I'm glad you managed to pass! Cheers!

Submitted(+1)

Really loved the collor pallet and simple design. Not to mention that it was the best use of the theme so far. OH and the bullet ride... OMG, so clever!
Some things I'd mention is that it felt a little slippery at the edges and found an animation bug where when  riding bullets they were inverted.

But overall it was great. My favourite so far! 

Developer(+1)

thank you! I was hoping no one would encounter that bug... XD I'll have to look into that!

Cheers!

A Very fun game, with great level progression. Simple and elegant 

Developer

thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

What a fun game , added to my collection , the  jumping when near the edge could do with a bit of tweaking and maybe a bit of music but i really enjoyed this game . 

Developer

thanks! I'll be fixing that in the next patch!

Submitted(+1)

Hey, this game reminded me my own game idea in a way ahah. But you made it really effective and engaging with simple and intuitive mechanics. I can play that all day! 

The only thing that I didn't like was that once you reach the edge of the ground, your character immediately falls without being able to jump. Maybe you can use a timer that allows player to jump in the last moment? But overall, the starting menu was intriguing, each new level was engaging, and the game is satisfying to play

Developer

thanks for playing! 

I will be adding coyote time to my player in my next patch so that there will be a fraction of a second where you will be able to jump . Thanks for pointing it out! 

Submitted(+2)

Very cool game! It fits the theme in it's minimal aesthetic along with an intruiging gameplay!

Good job!

I literally can't get enough of this. Visuals, sound effects, puzzles - it all just works so well together. Incredibly polished.

The only thing I'd change would be the bullet shooting key command; I found it a little awkward on the Z key.

Thank you! 

What would be a good key for the bullets in your opinion? B or something?

Cheers!

Submitted

imho any key that doesn't force you to lift your fingers already set on WASD - left shift, ctrl, V, B could also work, etc.
but again, it's really a very minor issue that pretty much comes down to personal preference; I never felt like the gameplay was hindered in any way by this.

I really enjoyed the puzzles. Bullet-riding is fun! I had some trouble with the controls though. I’m not used to having jump on ‘W’ but on space so I misclicked quite a view times.

Developer

thanks! 

What would've been a more natural mapping of keys for you? e or q for the time freeze? I was thinking because stopping time is such a big part of the game, a big space button would be convenient, but perhaps not?

Cheers!

Submitted (2 edits) (+1)

I think the q or e buttons are too “hard” too reach. As you said, it’s a very big part of the game to stop the time so I guess you loose time while trying to reach those. Maybe shift would be an option. I naturally have my pinky finger on it from other games I play. Note: Maybe it’s just me and my struggle to adapt to new key-uses though.

Developer

Ah Shift! I mean it's always a great idea to have multiple keys to do one thing to provide more flexibility in playing style. I'll make that change in the next patch. Cheers!

(Adding this here as well as the game's page:)

What an amazing game! I played it right through and adored the polish put into this.

Aesthetically it's right up my alley. The minimalism and colours worked great. The little things like transitioning on level reset/advance, screenshake and particles are all tops.

I loved the sequencing of levels and introduction of new ways to navigate the levels. Funnily enough the hardest level for me was "Gah"! 

In general I feel like the bullet collider could've been a bit more generous towards the player to provide more cover. Or maybe the laser's collider been a pixel or two smaller.

I would've loved R being mapped to restart, just to shave milliseconds off my retry and somehow fixing that dreaded Unity 2D platforming issue of sticking to platform edges and not being able to jump. Perhaps a physics material would fix that but in my experience it doesn't always feel right.

I'm very envious of your game, I can't wait to check out your code to see how you did things.

Congrats!
