It was a pleasant experience with interesting cross-dimensional platforming. Good work!
The only thing that i dont like - changing dimensions on a spacebar, it fucked me up so many times on the third level :(.
Yeah a lot of people have issues with the third level, I fell into the trap of always play testing it myself but I appreciate the play :)
Really cool game, platforming feels nice and I quite like the change in vibes when entering the void! Not a fan of the lives system though, I think it's a very annoying way of extending a game's playtime in a non meaningful way. Other than that though the game was pretty fun and a welcome challenge!
Yeppers, adding a lives system was put in near the deadline and I now think it is overkill but Thanks for playing and the feed back :D !
Your entry is very similar to mine and since I am so used to use WSAD to move and your game doesn't have it - I understand your comment on my game better^^
Anyway I would prefer if jump was on space or anyother key but up - I found wall jumping very hard with switching sides and tapping up in the right order all with one hand cramped on the arrow keys while the other hand waits on q
Also since your other dimension is completly hidden and you have to swap mid jump it makes actually hitting your target very difficult and you have a timer on the second dimension - so I never got past the first dimension swapping level....
next time I try to added key bindings so players can choose how they would like it set up. Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Great work! Satisfying jump mechanics, cool use of the theme (love the creepy vibe the alternate dimension has), and the time limit is funny!
A time limit coupled with the "start over if you restart 3 times" thing is a little too strict for my tastes, but I've never been great at platformers. If I could pick just one, I prefer the time limit.
Still, nicely done overall!!
Fun game, i really like the graphics and the music.
The game only has 8 levels and a boss so I was worried that people would be able to steam roll the entire thing in less than five minutes if I didn't force them back to start. I didn't originally plan for it to be that way as I was going to do more levels but fantastic criticism :).
Thanks for playing!
ok, make sense, but can you please tell me what the void does,?
The void is just another plane with different platforms in it, so you can swap between them while jumping to make platforms and walls appear where there are none to progress. As in the third level when you swap into the void the platforms in the middle of the level change allowing you to time your jumps and make it safely across by switching each time after you press the jump button.
thanks
The style you put together is really cool! It's simple but pretty much everything was well executed. It's also pretty neat how small the build is :D
I got stuck after I fully died once, it sent me back to 1st level but the character reset inside the ground sprite toward the end of the level and I couldn't move.
Hmmm, yeah thats not good. Thanks for the play! I will check into fixing that
It was a one-time odd bug, probably because I pressed R at a bad time.
Extra Thanks for finding that one for me, I have patched it so hopefully no one will run into that issue :D
Interesting concept! The mechanics were good and the gameplay challenging. I think you have an eye/talent for puzzle games, keep it up.
Hi, congrats on your game! :) I really enjoyed it, especially the mechanic of making a long jump backward. The mechanic of altering planes is also very good, but I felt the lack of some more introductory levels. The first level with the mechanic is already quite difficult, and it took me quite a few minutes to complete it... But apart from that, it's a great game, congratulations.
If you have some spare time, please try out my game. It's a classic space shooter from the 80s but with a personal touch. Please leave your honest feedback.
I had more intro levels planned out but I had to cut them for time.(procrastinated too hard) I'll definitely give your game ago and leave a review. Thanks for playing :)
I enjoyed the most of it, except the time limit, but that's really just personal preference. Well done, game feels polished.
I wish I had made a cool parallax background like you had it your game, but art is hard and I ran out of time
Hey, you had a lot more content, we just spent time on different things, don't feel bad. You can always add after the jam ;)
A fun platformer with some interesting mechanics. I enjoyed the wall jumping and the dimension change where you had different level layouts in each dimension, requiring the player to use both dimensions at the right time to get through the level. I couldn't get past the ladder bit though! Overall, very enjoyable! Good job!
That darn ladder, I am going to have to do something about that! Thank you for the play and review :)
Wall jump was very fun and punching the enemies in the end made me laugh everytime. The dimension part of the platformer was cool as well. I think this kind of game would be for sure something what speedrunners would love to play, with more levels and mroe difficulty. It was fun to find different ways of beating the level (walljump at the correct time with dimension change, made you jump far :D)
Although I couldn't get past the ladder level, since once I pressed UP I couldn't do anything anymore, which was weird. At the end of the ladder I could jump again but just couldn't make it. Once I restarted there as well, it took me all the way to the start (maybe I lost enough lives or something that I didn't realise)
Each time you reset the level you will lose a life and if you lose all of them it will take you back to the start. I will look into the ladder problem though, thanks for playing and the feed back!
Oh that makes complete sense! Just somehow missed it :)
Oh I don't think the ladder was a problem so to speak, it was more about once you started climbing you couldn't do anything before you were up the stairs, so it kind of forced the climb up, what I would have thought/liked was more of a free up/down movement on the ladders and jumping off when you want.
That's a great suggestion, I'll definitely look into changing the movement options for the ladder. Thanks again for the feedback
Very nice and polished game, the babies climbing trees really cracked me up. :D
Great job!
Thanks for the play! I wanted to have them do more funny antics but I ran out of time
Love the wall jump, loved the animations and sound. Overall a very fun experience and a good time. Well done!
simple game and easy to play. Love the concept. good job for finishing the game!
Great short game.
You did a great job!
It's been said before but the wall jump is awesome. Very fun game, and maybe if it was ever expanded you could add something like a challenge time for every level that's even quicker than the regular time limit. The level design is also really good! Would play again.
Plus not a glitch but if you wall-jump & explode at the same time you get sent flying. It's funny
I didn't even think about a time attack / hard mode. That's a fantastic idea!
Loved it! Like others, like the wall jumping. The idea of dimension shifting for alternate elements of the levels, yet they work together to help complete the level, outstanding. Graphics and sound were charming and the music just right for the game style. I personally would've like a jump key on the left, but that's just personal preference. Brilliant job, especially considering it was your first game and jam! Well done!
The wall jump is so satisfying the whole game could have been that :D Encountered a weird bug where i was on ladders everything explode i change dimensions at the time and everyone died and player character survived it got me stuck in the level. Apart from that pretty fun
I will look into it, Thanks for playing :)
Extra thanks for finding that bad boy, I fixed the bug :)
Good job with this. Good number of mechanics and indeed the wall jumping is nice
Well done man, the wall jumping was weirdly satisfying. Had a fun time with this one
Thank you, its my first game and game jam. I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but I will definitely continue working on making better and better games :)
