Ooo thank you

Excellent game for a beginner! Your pixel art is very good!  If you wanted to add a layer of difficulty, you could make the bar decrease faster as time passed.

Thank you for the review ans the tips

Good start! I included it in my XanderJam 3 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Developer

Thank you i wil for sure take a look.

The art you produced has potential, I'd say keep focusing on that. The game itself is simple and straight-forward. It seems to me that the protagonist is glitching when he walks, could be a bug in the code. But overall, nice work!

Thank you so much for reviewing my game already did yours its was a hella big blast to play.

Submitted

Cheers!

The art looks great but I think the game needs a little more instruction. Someone also commented locking movement and slowing down walk and I think that would be a great choice to make the game work more aesthetically!

All in all good for a first game jam and you probably learnt a lot and can make something even better next time :).

Perhaps enemies you have to dodge as the timer goes down? Or maybe you need to bring the coins back to feed the totem yourself but you can't go too far or else something bad happens?

Thank you i wil surely do better in my next jam with the tips from everyone thankyou

Firstly I want you to know that i love the design of the totem. it's realy good. The idea of the game is good event if i don't think it fit the theme. You could have done that when we brig back parts to the totem it grows up and change (so it evolve). For your art if you want to get a better result keep the size of each pixel at the same. here yougot rocks with so much larger pixels than the player or the totem it's kinda harsh for eyes. By the way well done it's a complete game with a start and an end well done. The movements are fun to play with too. Also it was not very obvious that we need to get back to the center it took me a while to understand it. I win because i travel across all the map so i get back coins to him but mainly by accident i figure it out the count down was at 15 lol.

Developer

Thank you for your very long review if poeple read the description they know what to do it only takes 30 sec and i also say their i talked to Xander that this still fits the theme but thank you for the review

Submitted

You are welcome.
Yhea i have seen for the theme post that you have made. i just would like to say that you can match it more with few adjustement. And for the how to play, i have done the same mistake in my previous game jam. Players don't read the description carefully. That's why this time i put effort to add info on how to play directly into the game itself.
If you got a bit of time i would apreciate to get your feedback on my proposal. : https://itch.io/jam/xanderjam-3-spring-jam/rate/989211

Good job Selwin

Developer

Thank you Clark

It was a nice concept and cute art, it kept me playing for  couple of rounds, the only thing I would improve was that the controls were a bit floaty, and there was a bug were coins could be instanciated inside rocks, but overall this is a super fun entretaining game for phones, if this was on appstor or googleplay, and it was a bit more polished, with maybe online functions, I would defenetely download it.

Developer

Thankyou so much

Submitted

Fun little game, I really like the Totem artwork and the movement is very satisfying.

Well done :]

Developer

Haha Thank you

Submitted

Nice artwork! I played and won, but wasn't really sure what was going on haha, I kept losing coins? and the totem's life kept going up and down randomly.

Maybe I'm just silly and don't get something simple lol, great job!

Developer (1 edit)

You collect the coins and the totems health decays over time and every time you come close to the totem you delliver your coins and the health goes back up again :)

Submitted

Oh! I see! I get it now haha, thanks!

Submitted
