Cool game. Feels challenging...
It ain't just a feeling ;)
Such a cool concept with really nice art and music. Really gets you in the swing of things trying to make the noob go higher. ^^
Yep, gotta get those noobs going!
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
Great art, music and concept! I got super high to where I was outrunning the lava by miles, although I landed perfectly against the right hand side and I couldnt place any blocks to catch them, I fell so far down into the lava haha! Also got to commend the intuitive controls, I noticed the slo mo bar while playing and said "Oh I forgot to read the controls, maybe its shift?" and it worked!
Thanks!
Happy our choice of controls was intuitive, although we might need to put in a tutorial to make sure players are aware of all the options ;)
The game is cool and very enjoyable and the art was nice !
I really like the concept and the music was choosen very good :D
Thanks a lot!
I love the idea, and the gameplay and visuals were quite neat
i think it still has a couple glitches tho
Thanks!
A couple indeed :P
Little game, but big enjoyment
Thanks!
This is a great idea! tailor-made for this jam.
Simple yet clever idea and fun implementation. I loved it!
Thanks a lot!
Firs of all I want to say that the title art is fabulous. This is a very simple but fun game. I played it for a good amount of time and had fun. The only criticization I can say is the implementation of the theme. I didn't feel like the developer and didn't get the roles reversed atmosphere. Otherwise, very fun game
Thanks for playing!
It's true that it still kinda feels like a platformer, but we think that controlling the platform-placement instead of the character fits into the theme
I enjoy the concept very much, its ice tower but cooler;) Its quite original. I love the title art!
I truggled with controls a little bit, would be nice if you could implement mouse movement, i think it would be more handy to navigate that way;)
Thanks for the feedback!
Controls definitely need some fine-tuning, and mouse-control is something we're considering ;)
Loved the uniqueness of the game , enjoyed playing it again and again.
Thanks!
This is addicting to play even with such a simple idea, definitely had a lot of fun!
Thanks!
Super fun and unique game! I did notice that if you place the tiles inside the player it can launch you really high which, even though it’s pretty fun lol, should probably be fixed if you update this game. One time I even launched myself so high that I flew off the screen and soft-locked the game lol. Great game tho, 5 stars from me :)
Thanks a lot!
We definitely need to do something about that, but since placing the platforms just right to do a rail-gun is also based on skill, we feel like the game would loose something if we took that away entirely. Gotta stop it from soft-locking for sure, though!
Yeah that’s fair, like I said it was super fun to launch up like that so it makes sense to leave it in
What a cracker of a game!
Best score I got was 33.
Nice run, and thanks for playing!
Some people got over 100, but that was using the
bugshidden features.Ain't nobody got over 9000 though ;)
i felt the game is super creative and enjoyable but can also be a rage game like getting over it and only up since you can fall from the highest point and die after not paying attention overall one of the best games ive seen in the jam
Thanks a lot!
Seeing the feedback, we're starting to think that maybe that rage element coming from those pesky sides might be a good thing? At the very least, a lot of people seem to notice ;D
Kinda reminds me of icy tower, pretty neat game. I am really bad at it tho! LOL
Didn't know Icy Towers, but having played it just now there is indeed some similarity, except that...
The roles are reversed! ;P
I particularly like the animations for the knight you're bouncing around. Adding bouncy balls and smaller platforms to the mix makes the game way harder and way more fun!
Thanks, happy you had fun!
The Dark Souls of making Dark Souls
That comparison warms our hearts! (or freezes them, not sure which is more appropriate :D)
I like the idea of a level design game, and I also appreciated the player narration coming out of the player character. This is very tough!
Thanks for playing!
Yes, level-design ain't easy ;)
Hecking fun
Thx!
Fun game that got surprisingly stressful! I couldn't place platforms to the far edges, so the player eventually got stuck back there and fell into lava :(
Thanks for playing!
Yep, gotta avoid those 'edge-cases'... :P
