Idea is fun but having some easier levels to get to know the mechanics first would have been nice. I wasn’t able to get very far in either level.
I also think a bit more telegraphing of where things are going to be would be nice, there are several obstacles that are larger than where the red telegraphing was or hit a slightly different area, which made it more difficult to avoid everything.
This is such a creative game! I just can't really wrap my mind around how to leverage the mechanics. I think introducing the game more slowly, maybe having a very easy level so players can test out the mechanics. Even better if you could have included a tutorial level.
But I still enjoyed it and this is one of the most unique jam entries I've played!
Very challenging game. I loved it.
The mechanics are really well thought out, but yes the level is a bit too hard. I also really like the sounds effects.
Im glad you enjoyed the game! And thanks for mentioning the SFX too, had a fun time making them (:
Felt so good timing the green block to stay alive longer! I couldn't figure out good use cases for the teleporter and dash, but these are really cool mechanics. I hope you continue to work on the game after the jam seeing that I love JSAB and this puts a really cool twist on it!
Woo! Im glad you enjoyed timing the block! Yeah at the moment I cant find good use cases for the dash either hahaha, might give them invulnerability if I keep working on the game (: But there are some good use cases for the teleport. The two solutions I found of beating the first level both require two blocks and two teleporters (: Im happy you enjoyed the game!
Love the mechanism! But it's a bit hard to figure out at the beginning. It would be great if you could have easier levels
100% agree on the easier levels hahaha. Thats on me not playtesting the game (:
I LOVE JSAB and this is a very cool spin on it. It was a little really hard but incredibly fun! Hope you win!
Thank you! Glad you liked it (: Your game was amazing too though!!
This was very creative but very hard lmfao 😭
Really cool game idea. I wound it very confusing at first, but once I understood what's going on I liked it very much :)
Nice and challenging, but I can't survive more than 10
that's meproblem, not the game's. All the best!
just give me the normal just shapes and beats controls
Great presentation and audio, but the giant circle would always kill me it seems. I can understand how it’s an important hurdle the player has to overcome so that the rest of the game can be played in the correct way, but I got a little too confused. Potentially, an in-game tutorial would especially help in this scenario. Hope this can help :)
Thank you! Yeah I know the first level is too hard hahaha. I would have loved to make a tutorial for the game, but unfortunately there was no time. I hope you still enjoyed though!
Man this is way too hard for me ^^"
It took me a bit to understand what each looper can be useful for, and it's still not obvious whether or not they can be re-used. I was able to make it 10-ish seconds, but the music sounds awesome and the level design, while too difficult, seems to be well done and quite smooth :)
Im glad you enjoyed it! (:
Really cool entry! The idea is really unique and interesting. I also liked the beats and the visuals of the game a lot! However as others have said in the comments, it definitely needs an easier first level with a tutorial. Overall fun game!
The idea is great, though the difficulty and lack of a tutorial make the first level a nightmare, after getting the hang of things though, it was very fun. Good Job.
Im glad you stuck with the game and had fun (: Once I get to edit the game Im definitely making easier levels (:
I like the concept, I really do. But this game seems to be impossible! It could really benefit from a tutorial at the start of the game. Start the game easy and slow, and slowly make it harder. Starting the game with a full screen wipe is just kinda mean :( especially since there's no way for a player to learn the mechanics before dying immediately, or even learn from their mistake.
Although maybe I just suck, or did something wrong, or missed something. I don't know. Judging by the other comments, I must be the only one struggling this much.
Anyway, don't let me discourage you. Because the concept is definitely there and could be expanded to something more solid. I'm definitely rooting for you!
No I 100% agree hahaha. The levels were made at the very end, in the last couple hours, so they became (wouldnt it be cool if) and (how do I force the player to use this ability). I really wish I didnt in hind sight, and made them easier, but thats what a game jam is (: Im glad you still like the concept though (and hope it wasnt too frustrating haha)
Yeah it's great! By the way, it would be really awesome if you could also rate my game!
What a cool game and concept. Just wayyy to hard for me :D
Damn that's hard, but it's a really cool game, loved it
Thank you!
Very nice, there's only 2 level and I wish there were more. Good job dude :o
fun little game but level1 is crazy hard. a really simple one would have been nice
Thank you. I wish I had more time to make better levels. Unfortunately I was running out of time. If the game ever gets updated its getting easier and nicer levels hahaha (: Thanks for playing!
