This one is a very rare gem!!! I would love to see an extended version of the game. Gameplay, SFX, Art, everything was top notch!
Really impressed by this one, the overall game design is amazing, levels can be tricky but nor frustrating and I love that you incorporated Portal theme in it. Great jam entry!
Amazing game! I am eagerly waiting for more levels!!! Hope this game wins this jam!
A very clever twist on Portal's side mechanic of gaining inertia through endless falling! Very good use of lighting. It's an overall very solid entry for the Game Jam.
The only think it irks me is that the turrets seem to be there to punish the player from not moving, but sometimes they get in the way fo solvin the puzzle. Once the player gains some inertia is really hard to dodge bullets effectively and you end up relying on luck to get to the end. I would have added some speed to the bullets to effectively meet the goal of keeping the player moving without interfering with the inertia mechanic.
Still, you got full points for Game Design, because balance is hard and the game is really good for a Game Jam.
Hope to see more games from you :)
Thank you!
I understand the turrets have been the "annoying" part of the game, but it is what makes it difficult at times. Since I had 3 days to work and only one day of polish It was hard to find a good balance for the turrets as sound and music took most of my time. Currently there is a full game planned with more levels and polish.
Now I'm thinking in portals again. Simple graphical style which fits to the general theme, and the sounds were good as well even though most were "from you mouth and things around the house" :D Good stuff.
Really solid simple mechanic that you get creative with. Love the level design, the art style and the player controller. Overall great game.
Very fun game to play and it was very polished. Now I see why it's the top rated game right now lol
The first thing I notice is the sound on the main menu for hovering the buttons, I liked that. I liked the mechanic and the feed back of when the player can destroy the wall with the white lines you have. I found it interesting that you could also kill the turrets with enough speed as well - that was cool. I thought that without the speed dying to them was fine when you touch them but the hit box for you to die if you hit them is bad. I wasn't near the turrets when falling sometimes and I'd die to them not from the bullet but the hitbox of the turret it self. I liked the game it was fun - thank you.
Amazing game!! It has great and unique mechanics that really emphasize the use of "holes". Audio can be a bit more "jumpy" just to make the ambient more exciting. But overall it's too good for a jam game. Nice work!
A great experience, feels quite innovative, fun to play and the graphics are appealing with all the soft lights. Well done!
