Very fun albeit challenging game, the art is really good and you can hardly tell it was restricted to just 4 colours. Really enjoyable, although I did die an embarrassingly high number of times haha

thank  for playing my game 

and  i died a lot too testing all the build of the game so

I had no idea I could press up inside the light. But once I figure that out, the game felt very solid. Difficulty curve is a bit steep while teaching the light mechanic, but great game overall.

Developer

Thanks  you :)

It was great to see this project grow! There's a lot here already. The graphics and UI are very nice and the sound is decent too.

I'm still not sure if this game really gels well as a rage game. It really doesn't communicate the fact that it's supposed to be one. And the controls are still too twitchy. Slow the character down, give it some momentum and lower the gravity. You still fall like a brick.

Overall, it was fun though! 

Developer

i now working on a fix for the gravity and momentum 

 thanks for your feedback

Controls kind feel stiff but otherwise movement felt fine. I feel like state changing for the water is finicky; when I tried to jump from one stream to the other, sometimes it wouldn't register that I was back in the water and I'd just fall all the way back down or into my death. Otherwise your color palette was really nice and aesthetically pleasing to look at.

Nice job!

thanks for your feedback 

i will fix this issue with the colli of the light beam 

and i will change the movement a little but that will take some time

Fun and great concept! few things

Sound. Wish the music was more 8bit sounding to feel more Gameboys'. but i know not everyone has the ability. Sounds in the game however were perfect.

Graphics. Some of the graphics looked beyond what would be possible on a 160x144 screen pixel density. The light beams looked way to clean on the edges to match the rest of the aesthetics of the game. So they felt a bit out of place with the rest of the graphics. 

Developer

the  light beam look i struggle for a long time it was surpossed to be a shadow beam  then later i made it a light beam  but the 4 color rule  

both option was hard to make hard  i had to fix it many times

 i will try to make the light beam look better  

even i thought that the light beam look werid so

Nice! The main mechanic is really cool, especially when you start making the lights move. As some others said, I think the movement could be a bit more smooth, especially the transition from in-the-light to not in-the-light.

Developer

thanks i will try to change the movement a little the game was designed with a high momvement  so making the movement  smooth might takes some time but i will check what i can do rn

 thanks for your feedback :)

thank you

the way you used the water mechanic is really cool :o

Developer

thanks  and  the mechanic that you makes float is supposed to be a light from above

but its was hard to make it look like light with 4 color 

Submitted(+1)

ahhh makes sense! just assumed it was water based on the floating

Submitted(+1)

I like the concept in your game! It's very nice. However the controls should be a bit more smoothed (in my oppinion). But if you did it this way to be hard, it's perfect! Haha

Good game, dude! Good game. 

Developer(+1)

thanks  it was designed to a soft rage game i did however lower  the gravity  and removed a few really hard spike to make the game not that rage introducing

Liking this game a lot! Its quite difficult but a lot of that stems from the player speed feeling a little too fast and out of control. Just took some getting used to, but one thing I would suggest is having variable heights you can jump at (like a half jump or short hop) instead of always jumping the same height. It made some sections feel more arbitrarily difficult. Overall really great game! 

Developer

thanks somebody told me that already  to so i going to fix the jump issue

to make it less diffecult
