It's a little dificult, but i like it!

Submitted(+1)

I love this!
It took me a few tries to get the hang of the controls but once I was comfortable, it was really satisfying to control the character and move fast. I could totally see speedrunners play this and do some unthinkable strategies to climb fast!

The art style / color palette was on point, the music is perfect and the level of polish is impressive for a jam like this. Bonus point for all the settings you guys made!  It looks like a game that could be released on Steam ;) GG!

Developer

Thanks! It means a lot to me :)

Really cool game! I like the concept and mechanics, it can be a little finnicky at first, but it becomes easy to use after a while.

Very fun game! I can see myself coming back to this after the jam and trying to beat my highscore. I do have to agree with the other comments, the controls are a bit finnicky and while the shots are really good at launching the player, there's no way to control the force and ends up shooting me all over the place. I feel like adding gamepad controls may help out with that or maybe lessening the force?

Outside of that, I really adore the art and visuals of this game. Everything is well communicated, the scan line filter is a very nice touch, the color pallete is nice, all in all great! The music is also pretty nice but I want to point out that the music keeps playing even when the game over sound plays. Anyways, great game and you all should be proud of yourselves!

Thanks a lot :D
Actually the music playing after death is a feature.
In the game the music is adaptive music which gets more and more intense the further up you go,
and when you die, all layers except the drums fade out, to make a more chill ambience

Got it! That's really cool actually, thanks for informing me!

That's a pretty good game ! Really hard, but it managed to make me want to see more, which is a very good sign ! But my brain still cannot handle the fact that if I shoot left, I go right...

I think there are still things to do to make it more user friendly. Maybe trying to reduce the speed of the jump could help, to give a bit more time to react in case of mistake. And some platforms are at a weird height, making them impossible to jump on, but at the same too low for the recoil jump, so the level design sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable.

What a wonderful game. It's so incredibly awesome. 


I love the fact that you can get ammo from the sand and use it to propel yourself. This allows for some crazy mechanics and even a speedrun feel. Really well done. My fave part was panicking when I was about to die and managing to save it by absorbing ammo and shooting like crazy lol

Developer(+1)

Yeah it's a great feeling to escape a deadly situation :D

Absolutely wonderful, great combinations of mechanics and polish

The concept is amazing, and the cover art is beautiful, one of the best games of the jam...

Thanks a lot dude :D

This game is sick. Though the controls and handles on the movement take a bit of time, once I did it was insane. Many thanks to the game jam team and its contributors. 

Developer

Ay thanks a lot for taking the time to play and understand the controls :D
This game does tend to take time to really get to the controls and have the most fun.

Enjoyed the music and visuals but I did not like using WASD/Arrow keys for this game.  Is there a way to get an xbox controller to work through WebGL? 

Developer(+1)

Yes, controllers work with the game on WebGL and on Windows, although I cannot guarantee the positions of the jump and the shoot buttons on the controller (except that it should be on A, B, X or Y)

Interesting control concept and very pleasing visuals and audio!

Submitted

Very nice work. Graphic, audio and concept. The only thing is that i couldn't try after the base floor since i did not know how to jump on those platforms. Too much higher and the player does little jumps.
Probably it's me that did not understood well.

Developer

Have you tried the tutorial? It teaches you the basic mechanics of the game, such as walljumping, or propelling yourself with your gun ;)

Submitted

I've tried the tutorial for about 5 minutes. Did not understood well how moves works. Maybe i should play it more ^^

Developer (1 edit)

It's okay, it's a game that requires you to play and get familiar with it for some time before being able to go really far.
If you manage to get to around 75-100, you should be able to go a lot further :)

Submitted

Really hard to control, need to get used to the controls or they should be tweaked to be a little more natural to use. 

Love the art style ! Looks really amazing.

Developer(+1)

It seems that the controls are a bit hard to get in hand, but once you get it, the game becomes a lot more fun :D
Try experimenting and playing around in the tutorial area :)

Difficulty could be adjusted, but apart from that everything is great ! Also nice art and sound design. Well done !

Submitted

Fun game and nice art! Controls was a hard for me, especially its hard to jump using my gun and wall jumping. But overall great game.

Submitted

Love the game! I think the movement, visuals, and feedback are all very well done, the only thing I had an issue with was the controls. Might just be my keyboard but it felt very awkward to move around with everything being so close to each other, though I'm not really sure what I would do differently other than maybe make use of a mouse for the sand vacuum? 

Overall very great game, even if I'm bad at it lol

Developer

Hey, thanks :D
What inputs are you using?

Submitted

Keyboard inputs, zxc and space I believe.

I might've just been blind and missed easier options though, I do that quite often

Submitted(+1)

Amazingly well executed! and a great idea too, well done!

Developer(+1)

thanks so much!!

Submitted

Looks and listen so good, but not work WASD in browser, and X/K don't work too. Maybe for me.

Developer(+1)

Weird, on my end it works.
Sorry if it doesn't on yours, still hope you'll have fun with the game :D

Developer(+1)

If you get 70 or higher you're good, 200 and higher and you're pro, 1000+ you're a god
