Really excellent game. Probably my favorite so far! There is a lot of potential here. I hope you'll continue working on it in the future. :)
This game is really good. I like how I can use a controller to play and how it feels good to control. I also like how there are multiple environments. The art style and sprites are good and I think just one or two frames of animation will make this game even better.
Nice game!
Thanks!
Very cool! Definitely getting the metroid vibes. Only saw a little bit of animation from the flys - could definitely use a bit more to liven things up or a background. When I died, I saw a really cool glitched screen.
Thanks for checking it out!
There isn't much animation to it yet, just the fly enemies (and one other enemy type). I actually only got around to throwing in those animations right before submitting, so I plan to expand on it (and enemy variety in general) in the future. If I can figure out how to animate the background tiles, I'd like to do that with the waterfalls and such as well.
The glitched screen is likely the result of a bug dealing with room positioning when trying to respawn at a checkpoint (I haven't had much time to bug test outside of a quick run through to the end screen). Do you by chance know which statue you had last visited when you died?
I'm pretty sure it was the first one.
Alrighty, I'll take a look at it and see what caused it to glitch out for you. Thanks for letting me know!
I ended up figuring out this bug and it is fixed in the updated version if you are interested in checking it out. Thanks again for letting me know about the bug!
Loved the multi gameness aspect of it. RPG and the Platformer options were pretty fun! I suck at the platforming part though..
Bad music was definitely bad and good music was good!
Great concept!
Thanks for checking it out and glad that you liked the concept!
I'm hoping to add actual music to it in the future, and also plan on tightening up the platforming controls (they are functional, but they don't quite feel how I want them to yet).
By the way, I just hopped onto the Discord, and I saw that you streamed playing some of the games so I decided to check it out. It looks like you may have accidentally ended up on my submission's page when trying to rate "Gamejammin", so I figured I should give you a heads up
sweet! thanks for the reminder! i totally played this and ill make sure it gets its rating!.
