It was a fun game to play, i agree with mewbusi that the mushroom hitboxes were problematic, i died a lot in 3 level and could get past it. From other parts of the game, the music and the graphics were pretty cool. 


Feel free to check out my game, it will mean a lot to me

Thanks for the feedback!

Fun, but the hitboxes of the mushrooms were really problematic. They feel much larger than what they should be. The jumping and walking feel right. However having the player have to use the keyboard for everything but then having the mouse to progress dialog and have a dinky little punch made the controls a bit more annoying than I would wish. The pixelart is pretty good but for some reason the player's walk cycle did not activate when I was outside of the tv.  Music is nice but the lack of sound effects is a little underwhelming.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I noticed the hitbixes for the mushrooms can be very irritating, definitely something I'm fixing in the next update.

Pretty nice game. The pixel art is amazing and the story is pretty good as well. I wish you used a slightly more unique font for the dialogue but I'm sure that is a simple fix. Overall, great game. I would really appreciate it if you could try my game too.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

I liked what I saw, I went left though on level 2 lmao. It’s a good concept!

Hha sorry! I forgot some of my boundaries, glad you enjoyed it.

Nice little game. It's a bit repetitive, although the enemies change it's still just jumping over or on them and they all only take 1 hit. Perhaps add some more variety by making some shoot at you and some take 2 hits to kill.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely planning  on adding some different killing mechanics.

Cool game man! I wish the jumping was a little less... STATIC tho haha.  like if you stop hold L/R while in mid air you just stop, but that might just be me.  I thought it was pretty fun overall and enjoyed the art and music!

Please play my game and give me some feedback if you get a chance!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the game!

Loved the style!!!!!!!!

Really good use of the colors!

I found kinda frustrating you die when touching the mushrooms, and found the hit boxes of them big too, but over all i liked!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I noticed the mushroom hitboxes are very unfair in some levels.

Submitted(+1)

Interesting story. It felt though like I was stuck in a loop. I would just go around and it would repeat once I got all the springs and the remote

Developer

There are no borders and once you collect you have to go talk to Henry again maybe that was the problem? Thanks for playing though!

Submitted(+1)

nice art and story :) 

the levels are nicely done too and the difficulty was just what I needed (not too difficult but not easy :))


please rate my game here ==> https://itch.io/jam/vimjam/rate/768154

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed :)

The game was fun! :D Although it gets repetitive. If I were you I’d add a little more variation to the enemies and levels.

Music was good and the story was interesting.

And if you had the time, then please play my submission, I’ll greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely planning on adding more variation to the levels and enemy attacks :)

This game has a very appealing art style and presentation. The pixel are was nice and I also liked the music. However, unfortunately still a bit buggy. I often was suddenly in the next level, without getting the remote or even returning to the old man.
Another detail, but still a bit disorienting, was the fact that the z-ordering of the interface was a bit off. I would have enemies before  some and behind other elements of the UI.
Still, a nice concept.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I know about the going to the next level bug but was a bit short on time to fix it. I'm glad you enjoyed the game though, it definitely has a lot of things to fix :)

Really cool game. I love the storyline and the concept of being in a tv with different color channels. Super original. Thsi could be polished and become a really high quality and interesting game!

Suggestion: set the camera offset relative to the player's facing, so if player faces right, the camera offsets towards rights, and if player looks left the camera offsets towards left.

I'd love to get your feedback of my game :D!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game :). Definitely thinking about working more on the game and making it a full one.

Very cool artstyle! Very trippy game with an interesting presentation. I'm glad there's more than one hit for the attack. Music was cool and I loved the artstyle. Also, props to whoever did the cover photo. It drew me in!


Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!!

Sorry that you couldn't get further than the red channel, I didn't remove the mushrooms from every level when you collect the remote so sometimes you have  to "parkour" your way back. Also I need to put edges next to the remote so you can't walk off the screen xD. Loved the video review!

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the atmosphere and the unique design of each level , however the game enemies and surfaces design were  off , I finished the levels way too fast because the damage from monsters is too low and the music restarted every level . overall it was fun experience :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)

Warning, I'm about to be brutal.

This game was frustrating to play.

-Touching the remote restarting the level was just wasting my time.
-I glitch bounced around enemies in lvl1, and killed one of them by walking in to it from the side.
-In lvl2 the smaller enemies compared to the lvl1 enemies are able to push you right off the edge.
-It felt like I started falling before I even left the platforms.(I went back and checked and you get dragged off the edge when you get too close to the edge)

The art and music saves it a bit, I gave you high marks for those.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I'll make sure to fix all these problems in the next update!

I had I rough time trying to figure out what to say about this game. It was a lot of fun and the art was really good for the amount of content in the game (assuming there was more levels than lvl 3). I was really discouraged when I couldn't make the second jump in level 3. I keep bonking my head on the low lying platform and couldn't proceed. The  music seemed fitting and you had a good take on the theme. Just wish I got to play more to leave better feedback/thoughts.

Developer(+1)

Ooohhh I'm sorry!  I will keep it in mind to change that level so it becomes easier. Glad you enjoyed the 3 levels :)

Submitted(+1)

I love the art and the BG music Just missing sfx and maybe to bounce on enemies when you jump on them to make them feel more alive and part of the world! Awesome game tho!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely work on a bounce when you jump on the enemies :)

Submitted(+1)

Music was great, art was also good, tho I wish there was more responsivens in the animation. Game is pretty cool, but i wish the platformming was more intersting.

p:s: Please consider checking our game!
