How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you must get higher by jumping on platforms, but you don't have control over jumps (jumping is automatic). Also, your controls depend on the platform you landed. So you are out of jump control and the controls change 'every' jump (depending on level generation).

Did your team create the audio for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

A nice minigame! ...Not much to add to that though. Ah, the music's simple yet fitting and doesn't get old fast, so I guess that's a plus.

This is so fun! Simple and addicting gameplay. The vertical design and simple gameplay would be perfect for a mobile game.

Thank you!

Hey Thanks for playing my game! I love the way you made the cube move at a certain rythm while controlling the platforms, its an unique take on the usual platforming! I think this would be fantastic as a mobile game. I rated your game and I hope you rated mine too! ^^

Submitted

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you, I have considered releasing it on mobile post jam. I did rate it, don't worry. ^^

simple but fun and creative system! More can be done to improve UI and graphic design

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you, still learning graphic design and all connected to that (I am a programmer) so maybe in the future it will be better.

Vintro StudiosSubmitted5 years ago

Really fun and original take. nothing really major worth talking about, aside from a little better UI and a higher death section. Really Nice!

Operation: Chaos!

Thank you, appreciate it!

I love the sound effects and the music but it is a little annoying that it restarts every time you die. I think the game fits the theme pretty well and still manages to give the player enough control to make it enjoyable. Really fun game!

Submitted

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you, someone already suggests that I make like raising level where when you die you don't start from the bottom.

Really fun simple game! With a little polish on the graphics I can see this become a fun little mobile game! :) Audio is pretty cool too. Only complaint is that is not too fitting on the theme. But great submission and well done!

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you for the feedback, I don't have much experience with the audio and art making (I am a programmer) and I see your point, maybe post jam I improve it.

necrosaintSubmitted5 years ago

This is a simple but fun game. The jump happens pretty quickly which takes some getting used to but makes the game interesting!

Submitted

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you for the feedback, yeah jump is fast, but when I tried slower jump it feels kinda sluggish.

necrosaintSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

To be clear, I meant that I liked the fast jump!

EskymakSubmitted5 years ago

It was really satisfying to see the block jumping from one platform to another. A really cool game!

Submitted

Thanks, appreciate it

IngmarMatthisSubmitted5 years ago

Took me a moment to realise how it worked, but was pretty fun once I got to play it. Does not quite fit the theme, however.

Submitted

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago

Thanks for the feedback, the out of control part is that you don't control the jump and also that your controls change depending on the platform you land.

itsthompsonSubmitted5 years ago

Nice Relaxing Platformer! Very nice!

Submitted

This is a disaster

The SideSubmitted5 years ago

I really enjoyed the game and i rated it, btw if you can try out my game and rate it that would mean a lot :)

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you, sure thing going to try your game and rate it.

ilPrinniSubmitted5 years ago

Really relaxing since when you position the platforms the game will basically play itself back up to from where you fell, until the moving platform. This could make a really good mobile game, I think it would need a slowly rising floor tho, so that players start new runs and have more incentive to improve rather than just have to wait for the cube to dash all the way back up. I enjoyed this quite a bit, and the sound design was on point imo! Great work.

Submitted

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago

Thanks for the feedback, great idea for rising floor, will give it a try.

Sufian DiraneyyaSubmitted5 years ago

Nice game! And a hard one :) (He jumps so fast)

Good Job

Submitted

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago(+1)

Thank you, I tried slower jumping, but it feels kind of sluggish, this way you a more out of control, but that is still a parameter that can and maybe will be tweaked.

abhishanSubmitted5 years ago

Thanks, it was fun toplay!

Awesome! I really like this. It's surprisingly addicting. Would make a good mobile game

Submitted

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago(+1)

Appreciate your feedback. Maybe post jam I made it into a mobile game.

Thank you!

Nice idea for a game, having to adapt on the fly what kind of controls you have.

It was a bit frustrating at the start but as I got better I hade more fun.

Curse of the Cursor

zkucisDeveloper5 years ago

Thanks, yeah it is hard until you adapt but that way you feel more out of control.
