I like it - as others have said, polishing the controls as the player gets up to speed is defo an idea for future work on this game, but the sprites are cute, the premise is clear and other than slight delay on the jump button the controls are pretty solid :) The only other point I would add is that the background parallax sprites are a little janky as you run which might be a case for smoothing the camera movement slightly? I'm not sure haha

Either way you've made a cool game

Developer(+1)

thanks for the comment! Yeah I didnt use 'LateUpdate' for the background movement creating the parallax effect so it jumps a lot (little oversight)

Submitted

nah its all g gamer, live and learn :) the game's really good, keep it up

Lovely song, character is super nice! Some polishing in the controllers, specially jump when starts to get fast would improve gameplay a lot ;)

Developer

Thank you for the compliment on the song (I am proud of it) and I felt the jump was a little weird when its fast too, maybe a higher jump

The idea is great, but I feel you could have executed it a little better. Things like the initial speed of the player or have the player start with full energy would give a little more time to get the grasp of it. 

Not really seeing the theme connection here either.

Like I said, your idea is fun and has great potential (quite addicting) I just don't think you delivered at its fullest in here. Also, great job on the camera work.

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! The low battery start was my feeble attempt at following the theme as an 'only one' second of battery per battery collected

Submitted(+1)

Nice camera move and run animation! Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!!! the camera zooming out as you get faster was something I decided I NEEDED in this game ahahaha it took ages to figure out

Submitted(+2)

Not bad ,but I don't see the "ONLY ONE" in your game .

Developer(+1)

it was supposed to be the battery life, each battery give you 'only one' extra second

Submitted(+1)

Oh !Sorry I didn't notice it :)

Submitted(+1)

The idea is not very original and the execution either.

However being able to load a game that works well is a great achievement, congratulations.

Way too hardcore for me but I love the camera shift when you change direction. I love the pressure feeling. The idea you have to know the level by heart to out-perform your past self is something I'm loving as well. 

Too much love for this game!

 I'm not sure about "Only One" but really great experience anyway.

I'm curious about what you'll make later if this is your first game! :)

Developer

the idea was you only have one second but that evolved into each battery giving you an extra second ahahaha

Submitted(+1)

Cool game, cute art. But sometimes there is no enough batteries in the beginning. 

Developer

That happens sometimes its weird I think its to do with the Update method. If the executable is running to slow the game thinks youre running slower. Because the battery level is based on time sometimes it breaks the game

Submitted(+1)

Oh I see, it's still good though

Submitted(+1)

Really cool little game! 

The only little thing I'd see to it is that the camera can be very confusing when changing direction, but otherwise it's really nice!

Submitted

Fun game, but I thought a bit hard to jump. And I also noticed if you realease right button, player stops running almost instantly. Maybe you could add some smoothing to make character stop to feel more fluid. Anyway, it's a fun game!

I also create a game for the jam, here is my entry: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/460644

Very fun and original game. Gj.

Submitted(+1)

Cool game, a bit dificult, but it's really fun hahaha. The only thing that i would improve is the controlls. There is a bit of Input lag when you try to jump, but once you know the correct timing it isn't noticeable

Developer(+1)

Interesting I didnt notice that when testing hmm I will work on that for the future Thanks for playing :)

Submitted(+1)

Very fun little game!
The concept isn't really that original (filling up the timer by collecting items, I mean), but it works and it's addictive. Considering it's your first game and you were doing it alone, I think you did a splendid job.
Keep up the good work.

Submitted(+1)

hey nice job! The little robot is super cute. I like the gameplay concept. Would be interesting to see if it works even better as just a single button "jump" game since I found that I rarely had time to move back and forth. With the limitation on the battery, it made more sense for me to keep moving right even if I missed a battery. 

Submitted(+1)

Classic but cool concept, the theme is well respected. The parallax effect on a full screen is giving me an headache quite rapidly, normally background stuff move slower than foreground, but hey, considering this is your first even game, you did a good job! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! with the parallax thing the main problem is that I forgot to LateUpdate the background so it jumps a lot, I didnt realise how to fix it until after the deadline ahahaha

Submitted(+1)

Haha that's one lesson for your next game :P

Submitted(+1)

Really quite unforgiving, but not in a bad way; I just suck at it XD
Nice work!
Now to try and get past the yellow stage...

Submitted(+1)

cool game! maybe make it possible to restart with space for convenience. I REALLY liked that the first jump perfectly aligned with the music!

Developer(+1)

Space to restart hit me in the last hour and I had to upload ahahaha but it is now in the game (just not this version :( )

Submitted(+1)

Very fluid controls and nice theme! It gaves you some retro feels and thats also nice.

(+1)

Great attept for your first game! I really like how it feels to play. The 'level' design is good too itroducing things then expanding on them is a good way to do it. (PS don't forget to use 'LateUpdate' on your background, at least I think that would help)
