Congrats on your submission! I couldn't get very far. I am not sure if it was a bug, but I'd miss a jump somehow and when I would go to jump again, the player would jump VERY very high. I wasn't sure what I did to trigger it. I kept falling because of the moving platforms, I couldn't jump on some and keep up. I really like the pixelart.

Excellent Game. Has challenging platforming mechanics e.g: when you move onto a moving platform, you have to move around where its moving, or you will fall down. Nice Pixel Art Graphics. The enemies always follow your position, so you need to be aware of that. I have noticed screen shearing when moving around the levels in the downloadable windows version of the game.[Have you switched v-sync to on, this should solve this issue]. Keep up the Good work :)

MiniatumsI really enjoyed the character graphics, that little guy looks great!

Bionauts OdysseyNice work. Controls felt good and the pixel art was simple and effective. I think the camera needs some work though. It zooms in too close and lets the player get so close to the edge of the screen that you often can't see what's ahead of you. Other than that great job!

Elf AttackQuite a fun little game! The art style is nice and the golems are kind of cool!

Tiny CompanyNice work. The golems were a cool choice and the world was fun to explore with some good little puzzles. The moving platforms made things quite challenging, though at times it was tricky when they didn't carry you along .. but I get where you were going with that. The arena fight at the end was a good touch. Overall it was engaging and looked good. Enjoyed the jump and the way the hero moves. Good job

Mini Golf CarnageThis is a bit of fun.
The art was pretty good, the music was OK and the sounds are pretty nice.
The only bit I found a little annoying was the moving platforms, unless a the platform is moving up and down, you need to move in tandem with the platform or it will leave you behind.
Otherwise I liked the game, and the golems look pretty good as well.

Petri Dish - GDTV Jam 25Thanks for the feedback! I was intending for the platforms to be more of a challenge for the player so that it simulated a real life moving platform where it would be hard to maintain balance. I could have definitely done better in maybe adding something like minimal camera shakes to indicate that the platform was unstable. I really appreciate you playing the game :)
Maybe you could figure out a way to only add that effect if you're too close to the back edge of the platform as it moves, and add the screen shake to accentuate the effect occurring.
E.g. if the platform is moving left and the player jumps onto the right side within say, 48 pixels of the right edge, the player character would stay stationary and fall off the edge if the player doesn't move while the platform moves and vice versa.
If the player is between the 48 pixel limit and the other edge, then the player moves with the platform.
The player, would then need to move to the centre of the platform, or risk falling off the edge after jumping onto it.
In reality, for when you jump onto a moving object travelling at a fixed speed, it is only the initial acceleration to the speed of the object you're on when you would find it difficult to balance, and likely fall off.
The game has a lot of charm and i enjoyed it good job. It looks like you didnt get the moving platforms working fully as they dont carry you along like i expected them to (although maybe this was intentional) and the vertical ones gave me issues with not refreshing my jump all the time, i understand this tho cause moving platforms can be tricky and getting them working as well as they do is still quite impressive. Another thing i will note is that the camera had a really big deadzone where it wouldnt follow the player which made it somewhat difficult to see what was infront of me. overall tho qutie fun i really enjoyed the arena fight at the end :)

MothlightThank you so much for the feedback! The moving platforms not carrying you as expected was intentional to simulate a real platform moving and not being able to keep balance. The jumping bug though I noticed after submission. I'm definitely gonna look at improving detections for grounds and other things in future games. I really appreciate you playing!
Great game! The controls could use a bit more juice. It's surprisingly fun to die on the spikes, really good game. 👍

Beam 'n Bite: Fruit InvadersI spent waaaay longer playing this than I should have. I couldn't clear the second room with the candles and the diagonally moving platform. I lit all the candles but I couldn't make the jump at the end.
