My first time making a puzzle game, if any of you guys could help me make some more levels or improve the three I have right now it would be greatly appreciated!
Alright, I've updated the game with two new levels and some more animations.
I like it already! The style is nice, the UI is fun and friendly.
The level selection is a bit confusing. I got it at the end (because i am super smart! :), just kidding, but since a lot of players only spend a couple of seconds on each game, i suspect especially in a big jam like this, there has to be no doubt whatsoever how to start the game. To me, the level selection looked like a puzzle itself, and i thought i have to jump on the number.
Since you asked, here are some level design ideas:
You could add enemies, touching them restarts the level. The enemies could be static, then you could add other enemies who are subjected to gravity like you are. You could have traps like black holes that kill you but which you can also use to get rid of enemies. You could have objects that you can jump on once you have shifted a jumpable block on the right position. You could have a "puzzle solved" goal that is subject to gravity.
The potential of what you can do with this general game idea is great!!
I would suggest adding only 1 new mechanic per level. A puzzle game can quickly become overwhelming, at which point most player quit the game.
But honestly, if i were you, i would start by adding sounds first, because this would add SOOO much to the fun!
Personally, i use beepbox.co, i am sure it would not take too long to create one music and like 5 sound effects as a start.
Looking forward to your submission!
Really cool close to my game(https://aajedi.itch.io/180) but i think it is quite tall so having fullscreen would be really nice
Love it! got to level 4 and I'm like "uhh am I missing something?" to come back here and find there's just the 3 at the moment.
I think to build on the concept you have for more levels, after the basics, make them require a bit more timing (you actually do this with the star in the middle but building on it). Maybe jumps or falls blocked by an enemy going back and forth that you need to time?
I think once you add sound and SFX it will help make it POP! Look forward to seeing what you cook up!
Pretty fun game tbh. 🎮🎮🎮
Advice: add more levels.
I like how it runs and how it feels, I also like the very playfully hand drawn art style. 🎨
