This is quite a good game, I think the random effects before each leve is briliant and makes each playthrough interesting. The game looks great, the only thing i can realy suggest is controlls feel a little slugish, especialy with the "Slipery Feet" modifier.

Developer

Thank you for you time, controls is an observation i got often i'll be sure to correct that in the final release, i'll be sure to check out your  project !

Some really neat concepts in this game, I especially loved the idea of having randomised level modifiers! One glaring issue for me at least was the sound effects for the cannon-thingies, having all of them play a sound effect every time regardless of if they're on-screen or not got a little distracting. If you plan on updating the game further, it might be a good idea to make sure that they only make noise if the player is within a certain radius of them!

Really neat level modifiers, a nice relaxing platformer overall. Movement could be improved  by perhaps having a run button/toggle so you can just nudge the controls without flingin yourself around too much. Good job!

Developer(+1)

I love the idea of a run button ! Thanks for the feedback I'll be sure to put a review of your project, again thanks a ton!

Really liked the levels. The movement was a bit slippery, and I couldn't set the window to fullscreen for some reason (this might be my fault) but apart from that I really liked it. Really fun platformer, well done! And the level transitions are great!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot, the fullscreen feature is present in the game so  it's from your side i think, i'll try to fix the movement, again thanks, i'll be sure to check out your project the title is quite intriguing !

Thanks!

A really fun platformer. Loved that you included a tutorial level.  I did accidentally discover some sort of glitch at the start of level 2 that teleported me to the end, but I had no balloons with me so it didn't make it any easier :P OVerall very good!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback I'll be sure to correct that, and I'll check out your submission certainly

Hey, I really enjoyed your game :)
Here's a more in-depth review:

Visual

Nothing astonishing but effective, it looks great and consistent, I liked it!

Audio

The audio works perfectly with the game, there are enough sounds and not too much, it feels really nice!

Tutorials

Wonderful tutorial level, I had no doubt about what to do and how to play, and had nothing to guess. I immediately knew what I had to do :)

Gameplay

  • The different surprise mechanics work perfectly well, it gives a whole new way to play with each run
  • Unfortunately, the game was way too short :( I would've loved more levels haha, but that's not a bad point, it's a game jam after all 
  • Maybe the maze level design is a bit "too many large corridors", but that's a personal preference I guess

Fun

I had tons of fun while playing the game, it has a great potential of making me laugh

Bugs

There is the feather falling bug you're aware of that made me restart the game at some point (I was completely stuck and couldn't jump anymore), and I also had a bug where I couldn't finish the maze level because I missed a balloon (bottom right), and the shooters wouldn't kill me (I had 0 hp and the frog boost). Couldn't make it happen again, though.

Also, we can still hear shooting sounds when there are no shooters in sight, it becomes a bit bothering after a while. And they don't shoot if they are out of sight, too.

Theme

Completely in the theme, great job overall, I loved the game!

A complete review thank you infinitely, you have mentioned new bugs that I'll look into thank you for that, and I was considering a boss level at the end but I wouldn't have made the jam limit of time, I'll be sure to add new levels in the future, again thanks a lot for your feedback, I'll check out your project asap I'm sure it'll not disappoint me !!

Submitted(+1)

I really like this game. Great 8-bit style, great concept, great application. It's really short, but you can play it over and over again because of the modifiers. I'd imagine if it had more levels, it'd be really awesome.

Developer

thanks a lot! I considered a boss level but couldn't add it due to time restrains I'll make sure to add more levels after the jam, and I'll check out your game for sure

a good little platformer, there were times that i noticed it was possible to get stuck in a "jump" state and then you couldn't jump again until you slide around and fell down a bit in order to refresh your state. But otherwise good fun. 


please check out my teams game~! https://itch.io/jam/yogscast-game-jam-2020/rate/843977

I'm well aware of that problem it happens mainly on "feather fall state but I honestly didn t know how to fix it and time was ticking so I left it, i appreciate the feedback greatly it means so much!

And I'll definitely check your game I'm sure it'll be a n amazing one especially since it's a team game.

Developer
