the concept is very cool and original, the sound and design are so good, its a bit too easy in my opinion but other than that great game

Probably the best 2D platformer I've seen, love the music, controls are good. I may have missed something but as you collect the 3 portal gems could that be shown in the UI?
Really enjoyed learning something too.
Will play again, often.
Hello! I liked your game and the aging mechanic! I actually used more the "get younger" than the "get older", because it felt a bit like regenerate life.
I got inside the ground fighting the Egypt boss and couldn't continue! Couldn't get out or hit the boss :(
It happened after the boss gave me the melee attack when it charges forward and smacks you down with its pawn! And I was jumping!
I'll put the screenshot for you!
Other than this ground bug, I had a good time!
Good game and cool knowledge regarding the gods!
Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed the aging mechanic. It's an interesting take on player health where having full health is not the most advantageous. Like the others, I did fall through the floor during the second level and the boss level. During the boss level, I fell through the floor when the boss swiped at me, and I was directly underneath its foot. It happened three times and was a little demotivating. I did end up completing the game, though!
The quit game button on the main menu did not work for me, so I just closed it manually.
I found the aging mechanic very unique, and I enjoyed playing around with different ages to progress. Well done!
I really enjoyed this , Ageing mechanic is really clever . good level design . the only comment is i could do with a little coyote time jumping on the platforms . Fantastic job :-)
Great game!
Like the others though, I also ran into the problem when falling through the floor. For me, it even happened at the final boss. Somehow I could still shoot at him, but then I couldn't reach the final door! It was pretty funny but a bit sad because I didn't want to start again.
Excellent game, I like the aging mechanism and that you actually have to use them to get through, so a platformer with a hint of puzzle.
When I jumped from up high, I somehow ended up inside of one of the platforms and needed to restart the whole game. I think that might be because of the Rigidbody collission (if you used that) I think it was collissionDetection that helps with that :)
Anyway neat game and perfectly made for the theme 5/5!
I really like the aging mechanic and the level design around that. Really well done there. I ended up giving up after I fell through the floor on the 2nd Egypt level (where the really long drop is). The pic is me at the bottom of the world lol.
A fun game, I really liked the mechanic of the eyesight going as you get older but getting better in other ways.
I was wondering why the game had the size of 206mb, but it turns it the game zip file includes both the source code, and the build of the game.
Anyways, I have tried out the game. The art looks awesome, and I find the gameplay interesting.
However, I got older even when the dialogues are showing, no time to read them. I have to rush through it all to get a chance at completing the level.
The age also seems to go down way too fast in the ancient egypt level. I keep using up all my "Make younger" crystals. So I game over often, trying to navigate and see where things are.
After dying 3 or 4 times I think, I got the game over screen which is fine, but I then clicked the "Try It Again?" button, and it all is black. Can't see anything. Until a game over screen pops up again after a while :-)
I can't seem to get past the egypt level no matter how hard I try to stay young :-)
Thanks for the feedback. I know about this bug, but I couldn't fix it... :(
Which level do you mean, the first one or the second one?
And I have a tip for you, try to stay at a middle age :) It helps with jumping and shooting. Would you mind to try it again?
And about the zip file... I really didn't know what I was doing... it's much smaller now, thank you!
Just tried the game again :-)
I still can't get past the first ancient egypt level no matter what I try. I kept it balanced in near the center but it probably took 4-5 attempts before I found the first and second relic, I thought that was it but when I got to the portal it didn't glow. I might be missing something, so I had a few more attempts with no luck. I find it hard to have the time to find anything without dying constantly trying to find everything. I don't feel like there is room for mistakes either, I have to rush with no time to read the dialogues either :-)
I do like the game mechanics, it is just the difficulty of the level that I have issues with :-)
Hi! It looks like both your downloads are the project source? I don't see an executable in either of them. Let me know if I am missing something..
