Simple but fun - really nice! I might be biased, though, since I made a platformer as well, haha 😅
With some more polish (better sprites, some more game mechanics, etc.) I feel like this could become a really solid standalone game. 💖
Thankss!!! <3
This is the best puzzle game I have played so far! I wonder how this did not get more ratings and attraction. I completed all 20 levels and it makes me feel so happy. The controls, the puzzles everything about this game is great! And considering that it was built in only 48 hours is crazy! Very well done!
Aww, thanks!!! <3
Funnily enough, i've didn't intend it to be a puzzle game at first, but while making the levels it kinda ended up as one on its own :)
Awesome game, the level design is so good!!! I had fun on every level. If I were to offer one bit of criticism, is that having the platform switching button of the yellow and orange ones be space messed me up a bit because I'm used to that being the jump button so I would press it sometimes when I wanted to jump lol. Not a big thing though, still had a lot of fun. Would love to see more levels in the future!
I am glad you liked it!!. And yes, i bunch of people have already told me about the space-jump mix up, im probably gonna change it to x & k keys. And more levels are definitively coming after the jam, i'm already working on them :3
This is one of the most top quality games i have seen in this jam. So cool
thanks you sooo muchh! <3
Nothing too crazy, concept-wise, but it's pretty stylish and fun to play. Some of the jump to switch platforms are a little finnicky and could probably do with a bit more spacing, and it's a little weird they come after the space to switch platforms, but everything's very solid all around.
When you do eventually expand on the game post-jam, it'd be cool to see some other mechanics, like a wall jump. That could be fun with the jump to switch platforms. Maybe platforms that are dangerous in one state and safe in another? Lot of cool ideas here!
Thanks a lot!, for playing, for the feedback, and for the ideas! :)
Really unique idea and good puzzle design. It would be nice if the centers of the platforms were shown so that it would be easier to tell exactly where to aim for.
Thanks :)
Cool idea. I like how simple and challenging it is at the same time.
If you decide continuing, I suggest adding features like coyote time and jump height scaling from how long jump is pressed and other small things that make platformers feel a bit more forgiving and responsive. Because some times it felt a bit restricting and hard to time jumps perfectly.
But overall, I enjoyed it and idea itself is really worth exploring more in the future. I wish you luck!
Thaaanks!. Yeah, coyote time and that height scaling are stuff i would have added if I had more time (and I will after the jam). I am happy you enjoyed it ^w^
Overall a really nice game :)
I like the mechanics, and how you managed to build the levels with such a nice difficulty curve. The plataforms that change whenever you jump are my favorite once, I think I just like combining mechanics like this, since it gives you something more to think about. The art style is also nice, simple yet very clear.
Since you mentioned you want to keep working on it after the jam, I'll just add my two cents. I think you could add more different types of plataforms, maybe ones that get larger or smaller the longer you stand on them, or plataforms that you must not touch. Also you could clean up the color scheme even more then, so there is just one color associated with each type of plataform.
By the way I also made a platformer, but instead of the platforms, you change size. I would also appreciate some feedback if you have the time :)
Thank you so much!. Those are definitively good ideas i'll experiment on. The change-when-jump plataforms were also my favorites by the way.
About your game, I just left you a review ;3
Very polished, the visuals all look nice, and good menus.
All the levels had a good ramping difficulty except for Level 16, for me, because there felt like an awkward jump you had to do at the end. I would have also liked it if the jump was a little more forgiving, like letting me jump .2 seconds after walking off a platform.
The platforms that scaled when you jumped was my favorite mechanic, added a small puzzle element to the game and made me feel smart even if all the solutions were straightforward.
Overall a great job!
Thanks so much for the playing!!, I'll take in mind the feedback for sure :)
it is so fun to play
thx!
5/5 man you should do polished full version
so much potential like bounces, bullets that put platforms and so on
the only thing would be nice if the centre of the platform would be displayed to understand where you need to stand, sometimes you forget and fall down
I do want to make a full version with more levels and ideas. Thankss so much for playing! :D
I like the color palette :)
I've never played a platformer quite like this one. The platforms changing size definitely had me tripped up and was difficult, but I liked the challenge. Keep making more! 😁
Thanks!, glad you liked it :D
I played through the game in one go, keep making levels and upload it somewhere. The only downside I can mention is that the jump doesn't depend on holding the button, and you have to jump with W instead of Space, which switches platforms. It's a bit confusing, but the game is still great!
Thaaanks! Im probably gonna make more levels after the jam! :3
Also thanks for the jumping feedback, ill keep it in mind :)
