The controls are glitchy and randomly swapped to give more of a challenge and make the movement more chaotic

Good vibes. Great artwork. Good concept.

We wanted to have a checkpoint in this game with my friend while playing this.

Submitted

The vibes in this are amazing. I would have loved some checkpoints with the tradeoff of the controls switching a lot more often

Submitted

We need a checkpoint!

The art was nice indeed. I found the character controller to be a bit quick, and I was having trouble understanding what was killing me a few times.

I really liked the environment. The music matched really well. I also liked how you tied in the random switching of keys intermittently. It made it pretty challenging, but oftentimes, I found myself just waiting it out. Maybe a timer, to force the character to keep moving?

One other note, the length of the level was a bit unforgiving. A few checkpoints along the way would have helped. Starting from the beginning hurt my heart.

Those things aside, this was really well done for 3 days work. Excellent job!

I totally agree but we couldn't add much in a day and half ,definitely need more polishing .

thanks for your feedback and playing the game.

This art style works really well for a platformer. Gives me Celeste vibes, in a good way. The level design worked well too, and I think you have a fun concept layered in with all of this, but it needs a bit more of a warning when the controls are about to switch. Like a timer or a visual que. I think the controls currently switch every so often, and my strategy was to just wait until the controls reverted back to normal to continue haha. Maybe that's an intended strategy? I made it pretty far but then I think I jumped out of the level? 

All-in-all, nice work! 


Developer

I totally agree with you, the game definitely needs loads of stuff to polish it but we couldn't keep up with such short while having beginners in the team.

Thanks for playing our game and we appreciate the feedback.

Visuals are pretty cute, I like the particle effects a lot.

The control switching mechanics adds some spice into the game, but it can also kinda ruins the gameplay mid-jump, so maybe that could balanced a bit more. The camera also drags behind the player making a lot of jumps "leaps of faith", which is not a good thing, so you could look into improve it too.

Ambient sounds are ok, a bit too quiet, wish it has some music.

Developer

Thanks for the Feedback ,Will definitely balance the game and fix on it after the jam , thanks again for playing. 

Developer

Yeaah the music is very quiet

Submitted

That was a good experience, I didn't understand why some time I was unable to double jump, but the random keymap switch was fun (But I was mostly waiting to not fail xD).

I failed a jump and went out of map lol


Love the art and particles!
Making this in 1 day, gg!

Developer(+1)

yea it was fun to make glad you liked it.

Submitted

The art and animations are so good. The lighting gave so much to the atmosphere, really well done 

Developer

Thank you!!, we went hard on the vibes and i think we nailed it.

Submitted

Intresting idea and beautiful artstyle) the control switching mid jump is crazy)

Developer

Thanks , I feel you tho.

Submitted

I love the art style. It adds that flare to the game. While the switching controlls mechanic is cool, its pretty annoying to be instantly reset to the start when falling down one slightly bit. Altogether, still a pretty nice game. Keep up the good work :)

Developer

Thanks we appreciate it , Since we made it in one day we couldn't implement a saving feature in time ,but yeah it definitely need one

Submitted (1 edit)

I liked the art, the snowy atmosphere, and the character controller. It's an interesting feeling when you get used to the modified controls and then they reset to normal - it's cool :) I missed the auto-save feature, because it was very difficult to climb to the top and accidentally hit the spikes. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Yea we wanted to go for a unique snowy vibe, and the swapping controls mechanic was the coolest part, we didn't have much time for a saving system its a short game tho.
