Newbie?

Newbie

Yes - I'm new to game jams!

How does your game fit the theme?
I started a few days late due to irl priorities, so I decided to base my game around that. You play as an alarm clock who has to get started with day by waking up extremely late, as you have to rush through the level to wake up your client, like me with how I rushed this game lol.

Really good concept for the game. I liked playing through the level and trying to get faster times. Also Etty is very cute!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!  Also glad you like Etty lol.  I love him so much too hehehehe.  I definitely want to add actual animations to him so he's not just a png sliding around lol.  But thank you still :D

Its got good bones. Movement feels great. With some more work this can be a solid game.

Here’s ours, if your interested

Tanks!  I tried to work more on the controls a lot compared to visuals, since I wanted to get more of the core gameplay finished for the jam despite the lack of time lol.  Also, love your game by the way!  It's really cool that you made a lot of minigames in such a short amount of time!

Neato! Pretty bare bones, but all the most important pieces for a functional platformer are there. You included a coyote jump and everything...

Etty's design is really adorable, and I appreciate the sentiment of taking care of yourself before external considerations. Self-destruction is not the wellspring of creation.

Yaya thank you!  It's a shame that life got in the way in my first jam, so I tried to get the controls of the game to be as best as possible to make up for it.  I do want to go back and finish it up so it's actually what I intended to submit for the jam, but thanks for sentiment regardless :D

Solid concept! I like the visual identity.

Developer(+1)

Hehehe tanks!  Decided to go for a sketchy paper-esque look (for the lack of a better word lol) as it was easier to make assets that way lol.  Glad you like it! :D

Fun: I like the platforming, feels foulty like a dream

Presentation: I like the character design, wish there was animation to it

creativity: good idea, starting the morning 

overall good job 😁😁

Developer

Thank you!  Yeah animation is lacking clearly.  I really wanted to add some but lack of time said NO.  Glad you like the character design at least lol. :D

Submitted(+1)

its the hardest thing about a jam, time, barely slept the past week or so, id love for you to try my game, im sure you gonna love it 😁

Developer

Yeah real.  I was rushing towards the end so I was definitely struggling lol.  Also ya, I'll give ur game a shot lol

This is pretty good, good job keeping the scope small for your first game! I think if you were to add something animations is all it needs!

Developer

Yaya thank u!  I had planned to add animations, but hand-drawn animation is tough, so I had to prioritize making the game feel as good as possible over the visuals for the sake of time and not overscoping.  But I agree that the lack of animation is what's holding it back, lol.  Thank u :)

Submitted(+1)

Great game, the controls feelt nice. Well done

Developer

Thank you!  Glad you like the controls.  Tried to prioritize those compared to visuals due to lack of time, so thank you! :D

Submitted(+1)

It's a neat idea, and it looks good and controls fairly well. However, I just wish there was a bit more in the term of things like sfx and animations for the player, although I understand that time was probably a factor. Nice job on your first jam!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!  I agree that the lack of sfx and animations held it back, since I was prioritizing the controls and gameplay rather than visuals.  I was planning to do hand-drawn animations for it given the style, but time was not friendly lol, hence the bare-bones look.  Regardless thanks for understanding my constraints I had lol ( ^o^ '')

cool! with a bit more time im sure you can create amazing games! the character looks super good and the controls are not bad, though a bit floaty

Developer

Hehe thanks!  Glad you like the character, and I do agree that the controls are a little floaty.  My first solution was just adding more gravity when releasing the button early for small and precise jumps, while leaving a bit of floatiness for larger jumps.  But I do agree that there are some improvements to be made, as I'm not fully satisfied with it either lol.  Regardless, tank u for the support!

Submitted(+1)

this was quite fun to play, i like the visuals and its impressive as you started the game jam late. great work!

Developer

Thanks!  I'm also surprised that I got this far despite the lack of time I had lol.  It's a shame visuals aren't top-notch in my book due to no animations, but I'm glad you still like them and the gameplay itself!  So thank u :D

Submitted(+1)

This is cool and really good for something you only managed a few days to create!

Developer

Hehehehe tank u!!  I'm actually shocked that I finished something too, despite the fewer days I had lol.  Even if it's just the skeleton of a game, I'm glad I got something done.  So thank you o(^o^)o
