Hoooly shit! That's amazing. 5/5 - best game so far!

Wow great game.
Unfortunately, I didn't have any sound. Games on Mac / Safari. Will test it again later with Windows :)

Even without sound, the game is one of the best I've played in this jam.

Thanks for the feedback, Dinsaphir! :)

You're the first one saying that there is no sound. I have no mac so sadly can't test. Will check the engines documentation about it.

Edit: I used a file format (.ogg) that safari can't use,  but almost all other browsers. Now that I know about that issue I can solve it and change my sound workflow, thanks again.

You are welcome.
Played it again an adjusted my rating. The sounds are fantastic :D
Yes, this is one of my favorite games.

Developer

Maybe this is interesting for you.

I looked around for more jams. When I played your game, I immediately thought of this one :)

Really cool! An interesting use of the theme

Really cool game!!! I expecially loved how the room was the same, but everytime the platforming increases of difficulty while seeming always fair!!! I had a lot of fun!!

If I can give you a tip, make the jetpack particles a little more glitched... ;)

You are on the road to the podium with this one !

Congratulations, a very good work !

Developer

:O thank you!

5 stars all the way!  Loved the music and sfx; great concept to stick on the goal: "our goal is to get to the white rectangle" but each iteration mixing up the level dynamics and glitching more and more - spooky in some ways!  I really had fun.  :)

Developer

Thanks alot, John! :)

Make this into a bigger game,  sell it, you have at least 1 buyer and that's me.

:D Glad you enjoyed it. In case I do it I'm happy to have you as a customer. ;)

I love looping the same level, but with twists. Visuals are lit, the mystery is quite interesting and it's good you didn't try to add any plot. Maybe a little in the future. You can add jelly-like idle/moving animation. Narrator character is great!

One of my favourite Wowie jam games so far!

Developer

Thanks alot Pawel! :)

For the short span of the game jam you put together a fantastic game.
It is really polished.  Controls feel responsive, scene transitions are great and the visuals as well as the music suit the game well.

If there was one thing I could nit pick about is that the pacing feels a bit slow. The level feel pretty similar to a point, but the introduction of a new mechanic was really great and changed the flow.

Can you give some inside how you archived the graphic effects ?

Developer(+1)

Thank you Believing-Gamedev! I'm happy you enjoyed it! :)

I hoped to introduce one new mechanic/new type of obstacle per level to keep it fresh but I ended up only getting a new one in every 1-2 levels sadly. And I think a bit more time on the level design would have helped too.

the Glitch artworks, are multiple frames I created in Clip Studio Paint. In game they then just cycle through them. Each Glitched object has like 3-8 frames, with the animations running at around 5-10 fps. Or did you mean something specific?

I was just curious how you did it in general.
Thanks for the explanation.

Submitted(+1)

Amazing visuals and genius gameplay design. I really like these types of buggy games where everything appears alright at first and then slowly gets worse and worse. Simple but smooth platforming and smart platform placements. Very nice!

Developer

thanks alot Westonini!

Well, this is one of the best games that I had played in the jam. Congratulations! The idea is super simple and works absolutely fine. The controls and all is amazingly done. I love it so much! If have a time and can check mine I will be very grateful :) Cheers! Good luck! This is the best game so far!

Developer

Thanks Noar!

Yes I will check your game. :)

This is easily the best game I've rated yet, great idea and execution.

Submitted(+1)

Amazing! You need to win. Perfect feel, great controls, super creative, all around 5 stars across the board from me. So much fun.

Submitted(+1)

You nailed it. My wife actually begged me to try this one, and I don't regret it. Like Jonas said, unfortunately the dash/rocket jump thing breaks the levels. Would have been nice to have some glitchy ceiling barriers to prevent that.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks alot and thanks to your wife, too! ;)

Good idea. I will implement something like that once the rating is over. :)

(glitcheon is pretty cool btw)

Way to take the theme and RUN with it. I definitely found myself thinking "That's definitely a square" - and then it all made sense ;)

Incredible game! Very good work! :)
