Super polished and fun game! Love the different block abilities and use of limitation. There is an odd thing where if you get launched too high the indicator for where you are above the fov disappears, and then by the time you come back down you have gained too much speed to react to where you are, I think it would help to always have the indicator be present when above the fov, and maybe the indicator flashes red when you are about to enter the fov again? Other than that I had fun! Can see this being a fun mobile game.

Developer

thank you, I am actually working on a mobile version now 😀

Awesome! Good luck :)

I really like the concept of the game and the fact that you've added a leaderboard!

the character movement can be a bit weird at first but you can get used to it in my opinion (but I would still make maybe some minor adjustments).

I don't know if the developer or anyone else has noticed it but there is a bug that allows you to make "infinite jumps". I don't know if I should explain how to reproduce the bug but I think it's because the character doesn't update its "state" of "touching ground".

Obviously this is just a small oversight and shouldn't overshadow the good things about the game.

Really fun :)

Developer

at what state would it give you infinite jumps? Please tell@ hhaha. 

I made it so you can't jump mid air. You can only jump if you are touching a block (even the side of one). 

Thanks for your feedback

Sorry, I didn't know if I should say it or not.

The bug occurs with the "safe blocks" and with the initial block (the one that the player always appears at the beginning). You just have to stand on top of one of those two, and wait for them to reach the highest point where they disappear. When they do, the player will enter the state of "falling" but with the difference that you will be able to make infinite jumps, until you touch a surface again.

My theory is that it is not declared that the player is no longer on a surface when the block on which he is disappears in this way.

Took me a second to get used to the floaty-ness of the character, but once I did it was really fun! Love the art and the music as well!

thanks  😀 great to see you on the leaderboard

Super well executed, looks really polished. I would say the responsiveness of the controls could be better. Thumbs up for the leaderborads, makes me wanna beat the score over and over. Good job!

Fun Yet Simple And Juicy Great Game

Not just addicting, also juicy as hell. Keep it up!

Developer

Thanks :) Did you make the leaderboard? i may be attempting to port this to android in the near future.

Submitted

You won’t see my name, I suck at playing games, even mines haha! Anyway the leaderboard is a nice touch, I wanted to add some too. Did you use Firebase?

Developer

No never heard of it, i tried a few, im using one from mw systems. it seemed to be the easiest to implement.

Addicting as hell, great job.

Had to play enough to get top score on the leaderboard. Definitely a fun and challenging one! I think the hardest things about this game is getting used to the player movement. It's a bit sluggish to start. That's probably a better way to go about it, perhaps, it just takes some getting used to. Everything about this is great though. Seems like something you'd expect to be on sale for mobile. Great work!

thanks, yeah I wasn't 100% sold om player movement. I spent 5 hours on it and was like. Man I got to move on. Especially during a short Jan im the middle of Easter. 

I couldn't afford to spend more time on the character.

Really good concept and the game is quite polished. Would be much better if the movements are more responsive. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun and polished, though I don't know how it implements the limitation 

Developer

well the safety blocks you create. There's a finite quantity. (Only 5). Therefore you have to use them wisely. 

Submitted(+1)

Might be my favorite so far! But man I dont know if it's just me, but the movement feels sooooo sloppy. If it would be more "stable" I guess, it would be al least 10x more enjoyable :)

Submitted(+1)

One of the most elaborate games this jam! The movement feels a bit floaty, and the horizontal movement feels a tad too "slidy" for my liking, but I think you got something good going here!

This game is very cool. Fun and interesting concept and I think you used the limitation and theme quite well. The character was very hard to get used to but I eventually got it.

Submitted(+1)

The game looks amazing, but it's really hard to control the player, it took me a lot of practice to not die in the first 2 seconds, so i like the game but it's too hard for me.

Also why don't you eat cookies? Cookies are amazing you should eat some during the development, that really improves your games.

DUDE THE GAME IS INSANE. It is really well done given the limited time. Some ideas for future progress tho

Reduce the amount of those red blocks as the runs for a general player is really small and for the game to be satisfying, you need the runs to last a bit longer.

Have a way to have the blocks randomly generate instead of the same pattern every time.

You have a ready android game just a add this.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, it is randomly generated, except for the first maybe 5-6 seconds, its like that so you can get a rhythm of the game.

in regards to reducing the red blocks there are majority red blocks as its used to explode you up so you can stay alive longer.

Submitted

Oh sorry, maybe im just bad XD. Those red blocks seemed more of a trouble as they werent easy to use to get up, the speed was a bit too much and i always dropped down. maybe thats something to consider

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!
