The game is a little challenging but the art, music, and SFX are great. Amazing job!
Thanks!! (^u^)
great game, could be a bit easier
Thanks for playing!! (^u^)
Ok, that was kind of challenging. More from a platforming perspective than from a puzzle perspective.
But anyway, it was a good game. Well done, and well executed.
Good job!
Well, it's always apprecciated a good challenge... right??
Well, i'm glad you liked anyway!! (^u^)
Fun puzzles and the controls feel really good. Took me a while to understand to jump into the blue laser line to get a second box, but after that it was all clear. Great job!
Yeah... Your not the first person who told me that the eletricity dosen't look deadly enough... (or that at least it isn't apparent that you need to use die there)
Thanks for the feedback!! (^D^)
Great looking game, its a great idea for a game and the puzzle side of the game is enjoyable. Good Job!
Thank you for playing!! (^u^)
Nice! Movement feels pretty snappy, and I noticed you implemented coyote time as well. Good job!
I'm glad you liked the player controller!! Thank you for playing!! (^u^)
amazing game, very polished and was fun to play. good job!
Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it!! (^u^)
Good Job! A few feedback tho, for a platformer game it's kinda weird to have the jump not with "Up Arrow" or "W", I also found an exploit where you can double jump when spamming "X" and "Space", I used this to pass the level 1 before I realize the laser in level 0 has a reason, maybe I didn't get the hint or maybe I just a big dumdum.
I'm sorry, but i totally disagree with your opinion of the jump key: In my opinion having the jump key separated from the moviment keys (WASD/Arrow Keys) feels much better to control. I don't think i'll ever change that :/
Thanks for telling me the double jump bug, i'll have to look into that...
Ps. You're NOT a dumdum (^.^)
Fun game! I thought the main mechanic was really creative and I like the transitions when you moved between rooms! I agree with some of the other comments that mentioned the game felt like it abandoned the cool main mechanic in favor of more traditional platforming. I get that its hard to balance things like this especially in a game jam so I don't count it against my rating at all. Just wanted to give feedback because I really liked this game!
I'm happy that you liked it!! The transition it's just two cinemachines switching from one to another.
Like i've already answered before, I totally agree that the main mechanic isn't fully explored.
Thanks for the feedback!! (^D^) I apprecciated that you felt the need to give some feedback to show your appretiation for the game!! I know the feeling, and i apprecciate that!! I also apprecciate that your comment wasn't just a simple "Your game is cool, i really liked it", even tho it'd also be just enough for me!! Thank You!! (^u^)
The sound loop is a bit short but not so much that it gets annoying and it does sound good. The sprites also look great and the controls where nice.
I do like the little hints you gave. Made it obvious what to do for people like me who don't really play platformers. I also don't think it was too short. At least, not for a gamejam game. You showed your mechanic, played a bit with it and left before it got boring while leaving behind a challenge for those that wanted more.
Thanks for your detailed feedback!! It always makes me happy when i receive comments like yours... (^u^)
I'm happy that you thought that the music is nice... I'm no musician, and i just threw some random notes together and adjusted them until they sounded nice, so i was a bit worried for the music before the rating period... I'm definitely want to learn and understand how to make music, so hopefully it will be longer in the future =D
I'm glad that the hints were useful: when my playtesters were playing the game i noticed that they were often confused on what to do or were to go (even the ones who are good at platformers), or just simply had trouble executing a session. Looking at the overall feedback, adding them was a good compromise imo, even tho if the exploration part was a bit lost and some players felt a bit "spoon-fed"
Ye, you're probably right about the length of the game, considering that this is a game for a game jam. The game, as a whole, is short, having only 5 rooms, and it can be completed in less than a minute, compensating only with some additional challenges. I wished i could have added at least 2 more rooms tho... :3
The graphics is the only thing that i can't take credit for. I just took a free asset pack online, and use it for the game. (Credits for the description if you're interested)
I'm happy that you liked the game!! Thanks for playing!! (^D^)
Great game! awesome in every single aspect in my opinion!
Wow, you really think that?? O.o
Thanks for your kind words, they've made my day!! (^u^)
Great game, very creative, visuals are super impressive and polished, it was a bit hard for me to complete but the hints helped a lot!
love it!
I'm glad to hear that!! Thanks for playing my game!! (^D^)
Great game! The music is upbeat but also creepy at the same time. The mechanic was very interesting and I find the idea of bringing items between levels fascinating. My one issue with the game (which didn't take away too much) is that there were long platforming parts. It's not that platforming is bad, just that the coolest part of your game was the dying part. Still an amazing game and I really enjoyed it. :D Also great graphics and polish/.
Thank you for your amazing feedback llamaking!! I'm super happy that you liked and enjoyed the game!! (^D^)
Ye, you're right: I should had pushed more the dying mechanic!! The only reason i didn't do that is because I'm not very good at designing rooms (My best skill is programming :P), so i preferred to make a few good rooms, rather than a lot of okay ones, which is better for the overall player experience imo (but ye, level 2 and level -2 drags for wayy too long that they need to be :/). Maybe a maze like structure would had actually worked better, but oh well, it's to late now to change it :3
Thanks for telling me how the music feels!! I will try to make even better music in the future!! (^D^)
PS. The art isn't made by me, i just took a free tileset form the internet!! (Credits in the description in case you're interested)
The graphics are WOWIE!!! ANd the core mechanics are.... well, also WOWIE! Great job! Keep it up!
Well, the graphics aren't done by me, but I'm glad that you liked the game!! (^D^)
I will!! (^u^)
Great game!
Glad you liked it!! (^u^)
Fun Game. I really appreciate the multiple control schemes. I hate trying to jump with x, I really liked that i could jump with space as well. pretty polished. I felt like the character took off to fast sometimes and it caused me to reset a couple times, but other than that I enjoyed this game. :)
Ye, at the moment the player goes form to still to max speed instantly, so i get what you're saying. It was foolish of me ton seeing that soon :P
I'm glad that you enjoyed the game!! Thanks for playing the game, and for the feedback!! (^u^)
One of the only games I finished, now I must find the hidden room...
edit : done, ngl, there's a pretty big clue on the screenshot
Good job on finishing the game!! I'm happy that you liked it!! (^u^)
Well the hidden room isn't *that* hidden... (mostly because i wanted the plyer to find it. And ye the screenshot is a big clue ;D) Still, good job finding it!!
not gonna lie the game is kinda hard for me, so I don't finish it, but yeah great work for the game especially the atmosphere.
I'm glad you still liked the game!! And don't worry about not finish it: It's ok, I understand... (^u^)
Good game with nice graphics!
I'm glad you liked it!! (^u^)
I was quite confused at first but after I got the hang of it it was a good game :) the platforming was quite challenging tho :')
I'm glad you still like it, even if it was hard and confusing at times!! (^u^)
I'll play your game tomorrow :3
