Neat concept! As others have mentioned, I had trouble with the platforms moving too fast. Could this have to do with frame rate? I'm not familiar with Unreal, but in Unity, if you don't adjust for frame rate, the movement of game objects can end up being way too fast or slow depending on the hardware it's running on. I really like the mechanics, though. Lots of potential if you decide to keep working on it. Great work! :)

The mirrored input is a fantastic idea, I only have one request: PLEASE let the moving platforms pause/slowdown before going back. My biggest battle in this game was getting onto the moving platforms. Other than that, great game :)

I am --  rebuilding it from scratch now-- I will put a delay on those to make them easier--- or move the camera out as you approach- not sure how i want to go about it yet.


look down a few posts, there is a screenshot of the new version being built.  Im debating building it for android as well WITHOUT advertisements of any kind - just maybe allow for donations in it.

If you're good at marketing then it could work to release to android. I'm not so good at it, so my 2 android apps have 0 downloads :D

The man was doing some geisha style toe wrapping :D 

I couldn't get the pass 100 points to continue. I went back, got to the other part where the massive slider is and then got the 100 points and the little guys on the map made me huge, but then I couldn't get under and I had over 100 points but the wall didn't dissapear.

Fun idea with the mirror worlds though, made me stop a few times to make sure I was moving into the right direction.

;)   second level it actually want's  you to R 00    or reset to 00  points  :)

Reply
Jonnboy91Submitted2 years ago

Aaah, I did not see that, I just though it wanted me to get 100 points, because I couldn't really see the text, but anyway really fun idea, some more polishing and it could be even better! :)

ohh its getting a full makeover now that the asset type limit has been lifted and I can use a few more asset's that were once free for the month types but no longer free-- and I had the time to redo my animation attachments so my character will have its own native animations. 

second is after hitting the mirror and moving a little further in. that platform rotates horizontally so you have to balance to the middle or fall off and time your run for the next rotating platform.

What did you do to this poor mans toes?

repeatloaderDeveloper2 years ago

that's the fatal thing that happens sometimes when you are pushed for time and have to redirect animations in unreal and use ones that are not native for the character. I ran short on time when I had a hard drive failure lol...   my original start didn't have that as I wrote all the code and setup my own animations but it was lost. lol

Honestly, I couldn't pass past 25 points. There's a moving platform, but it is moving so fast, that to reach it I should jump before I can see it, otherwise it will be too far away. Maybe there some mechanic to make it easier? But if so, I couldn't figure how to use it.

The concept is interesting. Good mirror mechanic. The game left me confused, in a lot of way.

He does not want to jump when he is on the second obstacle (w or space). Is there something I didn't understand?

you have to reverse direction slightly to stop movement -- then you can jump


also like i mentioned earlier -- i liked your game -- you should push forward on it... :)

ok I had a hard time getting used to it but it passed and received points ^^

 Nice concept like le score wich is inverse too :)

Thanks for my game ;)

Reply
repeatloaderDeveloper2 years ago

the feet on it was due to losing a large chunk of project to hard drive crash, i had to attach default animations to my character (from side scroller template character in unreal) ... this left the affect below, but then I thought---   the toes could be locked between worlds, so I left it and didn't work on fixing it lol.   If I continue on with that game for any reason, i will probably fix the feet lol.

I disabled hardware raytracing support incase it was causing issues for some people. Hope that helps, otherwise im at a loss...  :)

Reply
repeatloaderDeveloper2 years ago

for those who haven't figured it out -- to get more than 100 points... you can quit the game completely and then restart it (Escape key)   ... and your score is saved but level is reset ..   ;)    thus don't escape the chaos that way

Interesting game. For the first time i was kinda confused with that flipped image and controls. But of course it is a mirror. Really nice touch. Will keep a eye on that game. Gj with a character. nice feet  :)

lol thanks - the feet was an accident actually - in a hurry after a hard drive crash, i had to redirect standard animations from the sidescroller character to my own character --- and thus funky feet-- but in a way , i like it too lol

thanks, my major forte is actually graphic design so I had to rely on a team member for some help on aspects. (I developed the characters etc, they helped me with the problematic blueprints I didn't know yet lol)

Good mirror mechanic!  

I see you tried retargeting in Unreal.  I had the same problem with the feet and hands.  It is not an easy thing to do.

Good work!

Yes unfortunately, if you noticed the note at the front, 4 day's in I lost almost everything I had going due to a hard drive failure. Luckily my two main characters were stored in the cloud as well, however with time constraints, I chose to retarget vs recoding everyting all over again. (I haven't got retargetting down very well yet)  ..  TY for your feedback!  :)    Also, I will be posting free assets on here in the future (have one up already) if you ever want to grab, help yourself. (My larger forte is creating assets ahead of programming)

Just curious, you did extract the folder and not run the game within the zip -  unreal doesn't like that very much (some people i know trying the game had problems running it inside the zip)

Reply

I did extract it into a folder and run it inside the folder.
