Very cool vibe, I think hand designing parts of the level will work well.
I like the concept of checking where you need to go then shooting in the opposite direction, but it was quite tricky in third person as the camera would often be obstructed.

I think grace bullets would be a good idea, if you've fallen a long time without shooting, you get an extra bullet.
Nice work overall!

thank you a lot man, I’ll add a camera switcher + the bullets

Cool idea, I like the gun mechanic, the soundscape was really good too. While I'm not a big fan of these types of games I feel like the gun could have been a bit more of an ability you had to help negotiate the obstacles rather than the main thing. The random obstacles also become hard to plan around but still good job and good luck with the Jam :)

I tried doing an automated block connector where the blocks are connected by their ends but it LAGGED so hard on my computer the fans were like jets, so I removed it but thank you for your feedback:)

lol took me a bit to get the game - Neat supper hard - Just small thing - in the setting menu I could not see much as the background was white and the text was white - Godd job

I’ll dim the background on the next update, thanks a lot man XD

Dammit... I only managed to get to the top once! It was more difficult than I thought.

I'll play it again if you update it!

DeveloperSubmitted

woah I’m impressed that you actually made it all the way up :o, I thought the game was winner proof

(1 edit)

Well... I'm not sure I'm a winner. I flew past the spinning text at the top and didn't get to read it, then fell to my doom. That's why I kept trying, and I didn't pull it off a second time (though I got to 850 again)

I’ve noticed that it’s kinda hard to land on the platform as your carrying a lot of velocity but I’m not sure if I should either slow the player down or have grace bullets, although that might kill the difficulty of the game

The skulls seem a bit too big as an obstacle... When you collide with them they are invisible. The levels might flow a bit better without them (or with them a lot smaller).

I see what you mean I’ll try decreasing their size or maybe adding a warning when your approaching one

The reload sound effect startled me at first!

It's kind of beautiful. The air whooshing sounds feel strangely relaxing. Getting to the top was difficult, a lot of hoping and praying.

man I really wish you had a video of you doing it because that’s so sick
