With an indicator of the next incoming action, as well as a change of player speed / jump height, the game would be way better. Right now, it's sadly only barely playable, even though it HAS potential.
yeah I totally agree, I was super rushed and will definitely update it in the future!
I like the concept, but the execution could have more polish. A way to easily restart would have helped a lot.
Hey yeah I agree with that it needs more polish. I probably should've put this in the game itself rather than the description, but 'R' was to restart :)
I think the ideas here have potential! I do have a few suggestions which IMO would have made the game a lot more fleshed out:
Some form of indicator as to what the next thing is (Platform, jump circle, shot) would have helped gameplay quite a bit, IMO; showing the current shot and the next would allow the player to have just enough information to strategize.
At the moment, the character stops as soon as they touch a wall. I feel like it would be nice if rather than stopping, the character turned around and kept bouncing back as though he had hit a level wall.
The levels start when the game starts and keep looping, so like 1 -> 2 -> 1 -> 2 etc. I think a title screen to take you to the first level, and an end screen card after the final level indicating the end of the game and which may take you back to the title screen would be helpful to bring some intro and closure to the game. The title screen also provides a nice place to introduce the goal and the platforms.
Some simple animations when a platform or bullet is shot would have added a lot of polish to the game IMO. Something like a short fade, zoom, fade/zoom, or fade/fly in would have been perfect.
The art as it is is fine, but very plain. Some textures for the platforms, and maybe animations for the character, enemy, and jump platform, would have also done a lot to the eye candy. The music was there, but it’s fairly plain. I think a slightly longer tune would have helped. The sound effects present are sufficient. More could be added but what’s there right now is fine.
Of course, after that, adding some more levels (especially some more challenging ones) would be all that’s needed to have a solid game!
As I said, I think this game has a lot of potential. I honestly encourage you to consider fleshing it out after the jam!
Hey! thanks so much for the feedback! I agree with what you said, and I'll for sure be updating it in the future :)
Great ideas on display here, I really like having to plan out what I needed to do to get to the goal each time! Only thing I'd request would be some indicator of where the platform is about to appear, just since I had a few retries caused by putting it in the wrong place! Otherwise really enjoyed it, the artstyle and music were simple and clean, and I'd love to see more after the jam ends. Great work!
Hey thanks so much! I will for sure update and add an indicator and polish it in the future!
Loved the idea i think you can easily expand this game.My only problem was that when the player stops for once it never runs again.Other than that great work :D
Also i would be really happy if you could check my game :)
Oh yeah definitely I will update it so it doesn't just stop :) Also the 'R' button was to restart the level, but yeah it can be frustrating to restart when you're almost there
Very cool concept! I think it has a lot of potential for interesting levels, keep up!
Also please check out my game!
Thanks! I played your game too :)
Awesome idea! Takes some strategy. Hope to see some more levels in the future!
For sure!
this idea has a lot of potential and i would like to see more of it in the future!
Hey thanks! I will update it in the future :)
Cool concept, music fits the style well & gameplay is difficult, which certainly isn't a bad thing! Well done for a good jam submission :)
I helped make https://itch.io/jam/mix-and-game-jam-2020/rate/822445
Hey thanks! I'll check out your game too!
I like the creative idea, but it's a bit frustrating that you can't erase platforms after you put them. Maybe make an eraser. Overall it's a fun game!:)
ohh yeah definitely I'll add a way to erase things, I was originally planning to, but just ran out of time. Thanks though, you game was really cool and creative too
I really like this idea. Music fits the gameplay. Shooting effect is really cool. However, it is a bit too difficult for me. Overall great job :)
If you have a minute, please check out my game too :)
Hey thanks! Yeah, I think I might need to adjust the difficulty a little bit lol. Your game was pretty fun too!
Really clever idea for a game. Great potential here. Looking forward to seeing updates!
I will update it for sure thanks!
I love it!
Thanks! I tried out your game too, it was fun:)
player just stops sometimes, which really hurt my experience. other than that 1 bug. i love it, its something i would actually play on steam. its super fun when it works!
if you could check out my game id love that too

Hey thanks! I'll be sure to try and fix that aftter the jam, also I played your game it was pretty fun!
Great game but a pause menu would be great because if you get stuck you havee to alt- f4 but overall great game
oh hey! Glad you like the game, and sorry about the pause menu/ui stuff. I guess I forgot to put it in the description but you can use 'R' to restart the level as well haha
Absolutely lovely! Idea is great, and the whole game is super cool
Good job!
Please check my game as well ;)
Hey thanks! I checked out your game too! : )
