So first of all, that cloud background is amazing; I love it lol
The rest of the graphics are also really nice and the music was nice and relaxing which fits the overall style really well.
I felt like it took a little too long for the puzzles to get difficult but I'm probably being nit picky; there's nothing inherently wrong with the level design. Great Job ! :)
Also damn you and your rickroll >:(
The levels of this game are so well designed! However, the hitboxes of the numbers are kinda weird. It's a pain trying to pick up a specific number when they are close to each other and you keep picking up the wrong one.
That’s why I created a change mechanic, which would allow you to change between different numbers that you wanted to pick up. But in the end I also realised, that that mechanic was a bit finicky. Glad you enjoyed the levels tho!
Super fun! Making puzzles is a hard challenge, and you've pulled of what i think is a great balance of difficulty and reward. Great job! also really liked the sound design
Boy howdy, this game is good. The sound design was so good.
Gameplay was SUPER GOOD. The way you introduced mechanics fit the theme very well. The entire game was a masterpiece, especially considering you made it in three freaking days.
I also really liked the extras :>
Oh, I also have one question... what in the world is the player supposed to be? It kinda looks like a pencil to me lol
Ok, I'll let you through into my though-process for the player:
The first that I wanted to do, id a robot. And I specifically wanted it to have a wheel which it would drive with. Then I needed to choose the color, and I decided of yellow. Since I didn't know how exactly I should've made the player feel alive, I just put a smile and some arms onto him. Then I was thinking on how the player should hold the numbers. Hands would be too difficult to make, so I came up with something. The player would have a little helipad like the ones spread across the different levels, that would activate when holding a number. And Ta-da! And now that you mentioned it, it really does look like a little pencil XD
I really much appreciate that you very much liked playing it and appreciate what I created. I am really honored to hear that :D
It's a very clever puzzle design, I like it :D Great pacing, adding new features along the play when the player learned the previous mechanic. Good job!
I bugged the game at some point with a teleport. I couldn't teleport while holding "1" and after a few attempts, my character disappeared. But it was a one-timer :)
Very cool game, it feels nice when playing it, the graphics are perfect, music is great, great job! :))
Cool gameplay. Full compliance with the theme. great job)
Cool game! I really liked how each number had a different use! Great job! :D
This game is really good dude!! My only complaints would be not being able to jump with W or fall through platforms with S, and all of the tutorial text. I think it would be easier to explain with a few button prompts to explain the basics in a tutorial level, and the rest can be figured out by people themselves. Overall, great game
Nice game! Very creative. I love the little player haha!
Really fun game! The puzzles were great, the use of the theme was really unique, the art was charming, and the game felt really polished overall! Definitely deserves to be one of the top games in the jam! My only complaint is that you can't jump with "W" or fall through a platform with "S", but you can with the arrow key equivalents. Though that is a really easy fix! Overall fantastic job! Definitely one of my favorite games in the jam!
I’m definitely making a note of that! I needed to make the controls easy and understandable, but something was missing then. Either way I appreciate your feedback and that you liked the game :D
A solid game, I felt the numbeer 3 was a bit lacking, since almost every level after it got weight started with pressing the button to release it, but still nice puzzles, I feel my brain expanding.
Though if I could give negative stars for the extras I would.
I agree with you on the 3. I wanted to add a special sauce to the game, by not only making the numbers with abilities, but actually trying to get them in the order of 3,2,1. So that should explain why it was that way. Good that your brain grew because of this :D
Oh man, I thought the extras were amazing… A little extra puzzle wouldn’t hurt anybody ;))))
really good game, well designed levels and puzzles!
Everything about this game is just great, audio, art, character movement, moving numbers. Difficulty grows with each level. I like that the game is hard in a way that I have to think what to do, instead of just making me angry.
I guess I hit the goal that I was striving to! I'm glad you enjoyed solving the puzzles!
This game has so much heart, really liked it was scared that the 1, 2, 3 mechanic would be gimmicky but as the level progressed you really proved some great design skills with the puzzles. well done
Thank you!
NICE GAME ;)
Nice Idea, really like the sound design, especially when finishing a level. The buttons are a perfect addition to complexity in this game.
Thank you! I worked very hard to make the puzzles fun!
cute game, cool mechanics. only detail, the sounds got a bit annoying towards the end when you to take all the numbers to the podium after solving the puzzle
I love this game! Although, as a WASD player, it's kinda annoying to have to press down arrow to crouch (fall through the platforms). Also, the sound of the player moving is kinda annoying. Maybe make it less loud or have an option to turn it off. Either way, really cool interpretation on the theme!
Gonna note that! Thank you!
Good lord, what a beautiful game!
Love the ingenuity of the levels and the way you have to solve it!
Good STUF!
