This is a neat idea, very ambitious! I thought the graphics were glitched at first, but once I got the eye it made sense. I like the animations, the hopping with one leg is neat.
I got up to to picking up the harpoon tongue. A few issues stood out:
It's a shame there aren't more ratings for this. I expect the huge download scared people off; generally in-browser stuff gets played a lot more than even small native apps. Also perhaps reconsider the name, it sounds a lot less interesting than the game really is.
Oh, because there are no files on the game, this doesn't show up on the submissions in need of ratings list, that's probably related to the low number of ratings.Er, never mind, the link counts, it just doesn't show for me because I already rated it.I was excited to play this game but I couldn't get pass the obstacles in the first area. Not sure what's going on there or what I'm supposed to do. Can't seem to jump over the first obstacles.
Hey, there are a couple different things it could be.
Thanks, I'll try holding on jump.
I really enjoyed the concept of slowly building up the character by unlocking more body pieces. It was like Spore meets Metroid. Some feedback that I have:
But I generally thought this was a great take on the metroidvania genre. It took the concept of exploration and power-ups and made it feel satisfying. Some jumps/areas were tricky, but in a way that made success feel meaningful.
Glad you liked the body parts mechanic! We definitely ran into some issues closer to the deadline and didn't get a chance to optimize things or add a main menu. We're planning on working on this more after the jam, so we can implement your feedback in a future update.
Quite an interesting game. It may be worth adding a map (to a minimap).
Add: Also, optimization would not hurt the game
Thanks for your feedback! In a future update we plan to add a map screen + implement some performance fixes.
Why does the download button take me to a google drive?? Please upload a build to itch.
Hey, the game is too big for itch so we put it on Google Drive. It's ~2.3 GB, itch caps downloads at 1 GB.
LOL! Wow! Now I’ve got to check it out!
