IT IS FUN!  Awesome game.  Loved the playfulness of adding the different features.  But I got rid of the tress and it just wasn't the same :(  Great job!

Submitted

Yes, it’s really fun! I like how the AI try to make you something, adds elements of gameplay and also make you choose what you want! It was a really good experience!

Submitted

Submitted

Yes it was fun!
Very unique game the storytelling was remarkable and felt a bit melancholic with the music.
The AI trying to make a game that is fun for you idea just the hit spot for this jam.
Liked the music and the platformer itself.
Good job!

This is fun. I liked the modifiers which game the game more fun, and all of them were not what I was expecting, but that wasn't a bad thing. I am slightly disappointed I couldn't play this song on the piano blocks though. Overall, it was a very fun game.

Developer(+1)

thanks! And yeah saw that one coming,lol.

You will definitely be able to play it in a future update.

Submitted

Awesome game! I really like your interpretation of the theme! The game looks nice and the sound design is minimal but good. The platforming is simple, but it feels fun and it's not too difficult. One thing I wish was that your choices influenced the game a little bit more so that the final product would be drastically different if you had given the AI different advice. But I understand not doing that with the time constraints. Overall great entry!

Submitted

Nice game! I would have liked it if you could press W/up arrow to jump. I was confused by the ability to press R to change the level layout, that didn't seem to add anything to the game. I think with a little more work all of the new features could add a lot more to the game, but I understand because its a jam game you can't do that much. The story was nice, and I had fun! Good job!

Developer

Thank you, the levels are made randomly using chunks, so pressing R will technically give you a new level altogether.

Submitted

Great game! it was a treat just to get to the end of each level, good job!

Submitted

Super cool theme choice and love the minimalistic art, great work :)

Submitted

Yes. This is.

Despite me not liking the controls, the AI actually has a character with a cool arc, which proved to be very enjoyable. I'm glad you took the time to make a conclusion, the whole story would have been way worse without it.

Cool game, time well spent.

Developer(+1)

thank you so much, could you also tell what you didn't like about the controls?

Submitted(+1)

I didn't like the acceleration and jump curve of the player.

The jump felt like I'm continuously giving for upwards to the character which isn't realistic nor good feeling.

I didn't feel the character really being influenced by gravity either. With some squash and stretch and speedier fall, that would've been better.

Speeding up didn't feel snappy and the player is maybe a bit too slow as well.


These problems could be relatively easy to fix either by just tweaking parameters and/or looking at how other people coded responsive and juicy platformer controls. Good luck with learning this :)

Developer(+1)

Ok, ty, i will definitely improve the platforming in a future update

Submitted

I like this gameplay, simple but fun. Visual could be better. Nice work <3

Submitted

I really liked how the text appears in the ground and the font is fitting. The color scheme was cool. I really liked the particles and the realization of the AI in the end was true. If I had to critique something it would be the button design. It's the default button and it does not fit the game like at all. But that's it. One of the best submissions in this jam. Saved it to my collection xD

Developer

That means a lot! Thank you for your feedback. 

Submitted

I was so pleasantly surprised about this game. I liked how I could choose what mechanics I wanted to implement in my run. Simple but effective. And the narrative is rich too.

Is it fun? Absolutely.

Congratulations on your submission!

Love the writing. Good job !

Submitted(+1)

I liked the writing

Submitted

This is indeed very fun! I liked running through endless mode too and found no impossible levels. I will though, humans do like timers in platformers that let them go fast; timers are very fun :]

Developer

Thank you, I did consider adding timers, but elements like the lasers make the player 'wait', which might have seemed unfair. I might add them anyways tho

Submitted

Great writing, fun game.

Submitted

Very clever use of the AI concept. The gameplay isn't very interesting, but it made up for that with the story.

Submitted

Very interesting interpretation of the Jam. It reminds of DLC Adventure where you unlock features as you play.

I can see room for growth! and hope to see more :)

Developer

Definitely!

I am planning to add a few updates to the game, but nothing too much as I would like to work on other games as well

Submitted

An interesting topic and a pretty well executed setup of procedural generation.  Though a little samey in the actual levels for sure.  It had some variety especially when new mechanics were being introduced.  And it was interesting how they were added sort of part of a story.  But they didn't really add that much.  Well, other than the in level hazards. 

Though I assume that's because some of the options were a little more involved an d so likely weren't able to get as much put into them.  That or it was along with the theme of the AI trying to make them which would sort of fit.  Not sure which it was.

The only real thing I'd say is that the game didn't really have any sort of difficulty, which is good on the one hand, but does make it a bit monotonous to see all of the dialog from the AI since there's not really a challenge even when it starts adding more interactible sand such.  Besides maybe the disappearing platforms and how fast they do it, but not really.


Overall though, a relatively easy game, which a bit of storyline and some interesting procedural generation throughout.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, I find balancing difficulty really hard for game jams...so if the game seemed easy I will take that over frustratingly difficult. As for the level variety...should have put in more work in creating more level chunks, but for me the story of the AI was the essence of this game.
