Sometimes it doesn't switch when I'm in the air jumping past water. Otherwise the gameplay seems fun, nice work!

Ok, I found this game too hard. The 1/2/4 switch from summer to winter is too hard for me with current movement control mechanics.

I did manage to pass it once and then died on the spikes on the next screen.

I've tried at least 20 times.

With a few checkpoints, this difficulty issue could be eased a bit.

Otherwise, very nice idea and mechanics.

Keep up the good work.

Well done in this short time frame. I liked it the idea you first need to find your abilities over time.

Hello!
I am not gonna lie, I had the exact same idea before lol, but I thought it would be a pain to make considering the number of sprites I had to make for just one level. So, I changed my idea to Flower.

I am really bad platformer player so I couldn't complete the game after the spikes levels on the left of spawn area :P
Otherwise, it's a great concept and can be improved a lot with more levels and more mechanics.

Developer

this guy that record most game on the jam also stop there lol, i can imagine when they see that level people like "oh no, im out fudge this game i give up" XD. i'll ty to make  a better difficulty curve next time. so thanks for your feedback

All in all a cool game. Had fun playing it, even if the Z, X, C Controls are a bit awkward for someone with a QWERTZ keyboard.

Still, cool game.

Developer (1 edit)

Oh sorry for that, i forgot other kind of keyboard exist lol

did you finish the game ? i can't imagine how hard it was xd im gonna fix the control later. you can ditch the Z button once you unlock the spring though
Thanks for your feedback

Hey!

Good idea and cool take on the theme. At first I absolutely didn't get how to play (but that was my fault ...)

Cool mechanics. A bit hard for my platformer skills :-P

I made a Video playing your Game :-)

Thanks for playing, this was my first time seeing someone else playing this game XD

looks like the instruction im giving isn't clear enough, so it's not your fault.

after watching you playthrough, i think here's few issue with my game

  • Not enough info on how seasoning work
  • the route you should  take is a bit confusing
  • maybe i should actually explain what each season gonna do, or at least give some clue
  • the difficulty curve
  • maybe add checkpoint

if there's more problem that still has not been listed here please tell me. Thanks for playing my game. it was fun to watch (except on my game that one was iritating XD).

hey!

your list of improvements sounds very good. if you can add all of these its going to be top notch. but for a 3 hour game jam it already is really good.

i find it also kind of funny seeing someone other than me playing one of my games. i always find it very hard to tell if a game i made is easy or difficult before someone plays it.

keep it up :-)

Really cool idea and the main mechanic had me wanting to explore things. Unfortunately couldn't figure out how to get up the big jump when you get through the little snow pillars and spikes and couldn't get past the part with the big snow pillars either. :(  The parts that I got through were pretty hard, had to get the timing on the jumps nearly perfect, but I think that's good!

Developer

Looks like i should work on the difficulty curve and im gonna add some checkpoint. looks like this game is too punishing. usually i only made puzzle/maze game before, so im not  really good at noticing thing like these

thanks for playing anyway. if there are some more issue that im not adressed yet, please tell me
