The visual design was great, loved the menus and credits scroll. The constant bouncing felt unclear if it was if it was working correctly. Also, I had initially tried to use A and D to move, only realizing later that only D worked to move right it seemed so I switched to the arrow keys. Also for the boost arrows, it was not clear whether they are always active as sometime when hit the launch high and other times they did not seem to work. It also felt hard to use the time slow effect in a productive way. I do love the concept but the controls felt hard to manage and made it hard to progress or know if I was doing the right thing. I overall like the game, I just have a lot to say since I think it has a great concept!

I love your painting style. You have great painters. If more excellent composers join, you will make the best game

Really fantastic art, and I like the idea a lot! I don't think the movement ever clicked or made sense to me, sometimes i would click and dash up, sometimes i would dash to the side and then up, sometimes pressing up on the keyboard seemed to give me greater height, sometimes it was down, I thought the rotating target things were jump boosters but they also worked very inconsistently.  But that all feels like complaints that can be solved rather easily, especially with some sound to make the feedback of what's going on clearer. I really am excited to see where else this goes if you keep working on it :)

Developer

Thanks for the detailled feedback ! We sadly had issues with polishing the force manipulation and the different movements and colliders of the game, as we basically published it with half an hour of delay xD 

It definitely lacks normalization and is something we want to expand deeply on ! 

For the sound design... We wanted to. But the connection in the train to download appropriate apps' didn't. xD

the graphics are really incredible but the game play is not very pleasant

The game is very cool with fantastic art and a great athmosphere, but I don't very like the fact that we can't stop jumping, that makes the control less good than if you could jump when we want I think. I love the fact that you made an introspective game, it's really cool idea that goes well with the theme. Good work guys !

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback ! Indeed we often saw the issue with the constant jump, but we thoroughly thought its place, and we definitely haven't put enough jump power to the "passive" jump. I think it would have alleviated this feeling, but it's something we think is important, adding a strong sense of timing.

This game has some great art! But it lacks music and sound effects.

Developer

I totally agree! Sadly we weren't able to produce and implement the sound design and music we were doing, as time was running low :c But it was in our plans!

The art overall is really good but the background art is amazing! I also really like how the theme is interpreted.

I was not able to get through the game however - I got stuck on the third level and did not know where to go after all the enemies where defeated

Developer(+2)

TY very much for your review!

Dont worry, you got through the game entirely, there’s no more than three level at the moment! Since the level 3 was added during the thirty last minutes we hadn’t the time to make a special note to let you know about it, sorry ^^’

Submitted(+1)

That is okay. Still a really interesting game!

Submitted(+2)

It’s not really fun, but it’s great for such a small time that was given.

Developer(+2)

Try using the arrow keys to fight the monsters, I think it would be funnier ^^

Submitted(+2)

The art is amazing but the controls are wierd. You should look into making a standard platformer control system where you can manually jump and then incorporate the dash system into a 8 direction dash. A gold standard of platformers you could take inspiration from is Celeste.

Developer(+1)

You can use the arrow keys to move too, Q and D are keys used with AZERTY keyboards and we forgot that it's not the same in other countries, this will make it a little easier ! 

And don't worry, we know reaaaaally well Celeste but the objective wasn't to make a common platformer controller, we'll improve the game but the constant jump Doodle Jump-like was the essence of our idea and our key reference for this. ^^

Submitted(+2)

I couldn't master the game play - as others said looked nice.

Developer(+2)

You can also use the arrow keys to move if that's what confused you, the q and d keys are standard in our country and we forgot that it's not the same everywhere ^^

Submitted(+2)

The art is amazing! But the gameplay is kind of hard to grasp. Also q and d to move feels pretty awkward. So my finger kept going back to the a key by habit

Developer(+2)

TY! And sorry for the keys, we use an AZERTY keyboard and forgot that isn't common in other countries ^^'

You can still play with the arrow keys to make it easier!

Submitted(+1)

I’ll try it again later!

Very nice art, The control mechanics were confusing to me, I felt like I was just clicking randomly.

Developer(+1)

The arrow keys works too if it was the problem, we programmed the game using azerty keyboard and forgot it wasn't the standard ^^

Submitted(+2)

The art is beautiful, but I couldn't grasp the mechanics, and the limitation of QD movement felt off. 

Developer(+1)

Sorry for the inconveniant, we use a AZERTY keyboard and forgot that isn't common in other countries, you can play the game with the arrow keys too!
