Nice job, little bit hard to understand at the beginning what to do there...

Developer

Thank you. Yes I agree.

I bet this would be great with in-game explanation and a slow progression of revealing more of the game's mechanics over time through gameplay. Great use of sound, and actually it looks quite nice and cohesive. Polish wise, jumping feels a little out of the player's control, if that makes sense. Solid work overall.

Thank you!

Cool game!

I found it very hard and I couldn't move out of the way fast enough on the first levels because the blocks were so close.

Also, nobody wants to sit and read alot of text before playing a game to be able to understand what's going on. Creating a small tutorial or even having the text in game can go a long way. (especially in a game jam)

I also think you should introduce new block one at a time, maybe just have one type of block on the first level so the player can get familiar with all of the blocks.

But it definitely has potential!

Developer

Thank you! That is great feedback! Yes I 100% agree that I need a proper tutorial but I just did not have the time. 

And introducing the blocks one by one would be so much better, and less overwhelming. 

Thanks so much for playing and the feedback!

Cool game, sadly the controlls are a bit to clunky. The idea is pretty solid, i would love to play a finetuned version.

PS: Got in the HS =)

Developer

Thank you! Yes I agree I just did not have time to figure out how to fix it :(

Submitted

Fun concept and great music, i also liked the hs table, it adds so much replayability (if thats a word).

Developer

Haha thank you!

A pretty well made game with a fun mechanic, the blocks need to flash for a bit longer though so that the player can get out of the way, otherwise the game is great fun.

Developer

Thank you! I definitely agree.

I like the music at the menu screen. ^ ^

Okay some feedback. The movement is bad. I get stuck continuously when trying to move over perfectly flat ground. Also, my movement is reduced to a crawl when there is a block on my head. Blocks hang in the air for a sec, but it's still not enough time to get out of the way since the character gets stuck on colliders that it should get stuck on.

My highscore was 198, after a couple of tries. I have just one question: Why put in a leaderboard if you're only gonna display the top 5 of which 3 are you?

Developer

I used that for testing. Nobody played long enough to beat my score.  It is a realtime leaderboard so if anyone actually beat my score they would be on it. How can I populate it with other people's scores? The bug is the movement. Did you read the description?

Submitted

Right, but you can remove your entries after the texting is over or create a new list with the website you're using. I did read the description, but I figured that you didn't intentionally make the movement buggy (just that you didn't have time to fix it). This just makes it worse :/

Developer

I understand your feedback but honestly you just seem overly negative and are giving 0 positive feedback. have a good day.

Submitted

A positive is that your game has a clear goal: get the highest score. It's just that I don't understand why you designed the challenge in this way.

Hehe, I got third place on the leaderboard. Very funny addition! That being said I think that the blocks are spawning a little bit too fast to really react to it. If you fix that and polish the movement of the player the game could turn into something awesome! :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yes I agree it could use polish to make it a smoother experience.

Submitted

I think maybe time spent on an online leaderboard could have been better spent on making the player a lot easier to control. Blocks appeared above me and landed on me before I could move out the way because the player was too slippy and not quick enough. Interesting idea, but it could have been executed better.

Super nice concept! It's very original! Well done! Music was great too!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Really Fun! But a bit too hard for me. Plz Rate My Game https://lheyl.itch.io/bug-bot

Developer

Thank yoU! will do!

Interesting Idea and very cool that you added leaderboards. (in unfortunately put my highest score without a name) :D 
I just wish it had a proper ingame tutorial.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Sadly, I didn't use my time well and was exhausted by the time I submitted it and did not end up doing a proper tutorial.  I would like to polish this idea in the future where it surely would have one :)

Submitted

Interesting game!

Fun little game. Enjoyed it. Will definitely be playing it later again today! Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you!

Super cool idea!  Had to reset the first level a few times to to figure it out haha, perhaps start with a larger level.  I will try it again soon!  Great job submitting a game~ Please check out my browser game when you can.

Developer

Thank you! I updated it and scaled up the first level to make it easier to catch on to! Will check your game out now!
