Fun little game! I really liked the GLADOS voice and the fact that you managed to get good sound design in there. I definitely had some hectic moments where the lava almost caught up to me ^^ 

It was a bit unclear that the green goo damages you, so I would maybe make it stand out a bit more. I would also have liked it if the camera angle was adjusted a bit so you could see how far the lava had risen a bit easier.

Overall I think it was a really great submission for your first time ^^ 

Hi from the OSiRiS course by the way, I was Wyx there ^^

Thanks for playing my game! :3
Yes, you're right, the green goo probably got the least attention.
The texture is made of splat and circle sprites in green, with lighting and a sphere collider for damage. Sometimes it's too big, sometimes too small.
I'm still experimenting with the camera. I attached it to a circle that always targets the furthest point, but if you go too far back, you can see that the next level hasn't been dynamically loaded yet, which would spoil the next stage while running around.
What was your record? :3

Ah I see, maybe you could load 1 level in advance so that you have more freedom with regards to camera placement?

I don't remember exactly but I think it was 15-20 somewhere? The jump to the right usually screwed me ^^

love the concept , but kind of would love some guidance in game !!!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback. :3 Do you have an idea for guidance? i tryed to add guidance with the voicelines like "the lava is rising, reach the other level by using the computer" and the "not enough power" sound on the computer with a marked "E" (button). on stage 8 it says that the power up spawnchance is decreasing. some playtesters said that they ignored the voice at all, so people didnt understand.

I think for people without sounds or who dont react on this, subtitles or a tutorial level would be great.
