Nice game! I enjoyed the platforming and liked the slow introduction of each shape over time. I was afraid that the controls would be annoying based on the tutorial but it ended up controlling pretty well as a whole. PS: Not enough spikes and the cake is a lie

Good platformer level designs!

Charming music and sound effects!

I like the animation and particles on the player so it's not "just" a shape. Gives a little more character.

Player movement feels good.

Controls felt unintuitive. Feels almost like I'd want 3 hands to play. I think making mousewheel scroll also change shape would help. Or forget the mouse entirely, and make A/D control triangle dash.

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback, and I hadn't thought about the dashing mechanic as the change to adding arrow key controls was a last minute thought just to make tight changes for bouncing easier for some hehe

Fantastic concept! Also how did you implement the scoreboard system? I'm only asking cause mine refuses to work on Itch

hard to say without seeing your scoreboard system, but assuming your networking is working good outside of itch then I would guess it's something to do with TLS. Making sure your using https or wss, your server has (up to date) certificates and what not.

Really clever level design and mechanics! If possible I would like the camera a tad bit more zoomed out, there were multiple leaps of faith I had to take when playing, not knowing where I'd land.

I also think there were not enough spikes and I was sad to find the cake is a lie, other than that, great game!

Hehe thank you for the suggestions. I was really hoping I could put some hazard signs up but never found the time to do so! Glad you made it to those areas as well ;)

Pretty nice game. I finished it in around 600 seconds but it did not update the leaderboard since I did not put any name in it. I thought it would automatically put leroy jenkins.

Catch the Shapes

kameronbsmileyDeveloper2 years ago

Thank you so much for playing! And with the leaderboard it still should've put in an empty spot on there, regardless thanks for checking our game out!

Pretty fun game, I like the way each thing works off of the others. The level design is pretty clever too. Sadly I got stuck at this point, just couldn't get on top of that fatter platform. Either way, this is really fun! Great work! Keep it up!

Oh no! the exit was right around the corner. Glad you liked it though

OrczukSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

Ah, it's a shame. Oh! I forgot to put this in my original comment. "It's not spikey enough" and "the cake is a lie". Loved the secret spots!

kameronbsmileyDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

Glad you liked it! Trust me that part there used to be a lot more difficult and after the first bit of playtesting I did I actually made it easier than it used to be believe it or not haha!

OrczukSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

For the most part, the game had a great balance of difficult but not frustrating.

kameronbsmileyDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

That's really reassuring to hear! Thank you so much for playing and giving some feedback!! :)
