The moving and jumping feel good, and I really liked the look of everything. Great job getting this tech demo done - hopefully you can take it further in the future!

I did find the spider movement a big buggy - I seemed to get stuck in the wall when transitioning between floor/wall sometimes and I'm not sure if the inverted controls when you climb on the ceiling was intentional.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

That is the plan, take it further, have more interesting environments, more mechanics and have an actual game!

Yes the inverted controls were certainly not intentional: out of the 6 faces in a cube made of 3d axes, only 3 work properly, the other 3 invert the controls. Something I want to fix.

As for getting stuck, i made it so It only happens on jump, to give more space because at the edge model is halfway in the wall. But after jumping if the jump height is small when you touch the wall, I would assume you get stuck.

I like the idea of mounting spiders and climbing on walls. Movement is also fun and with some improvements could become really good. As of now it's a bit buggy and controls are kinda confusing for me, but still a very likeable experience.  :)

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I also want to collect and combine different mechanics like 3D mario and hopefully make a full release, but I want to learn basic 3d modeling to be able to make worlds of my imagination that are interesting to explore.

The wall climb mechanic does need a lot more work to make it smooth.

Nice submission! I liked the ambitious mechanics with the wall and ceiling waking. I had some trouble with the controls at that point but I managed to finish the level by taking my time

Developer

Thank you for playing :)

Yes it was a lot more work than I imagined. Could not work on using the building blocks.

It is not perfect either, out of the 6 planes in 3d, only 3 work properly and the upside down planes revert inputs (not intended)

Smooth gameplay, great visuals. Thats a great work!

Developer

Thank you for playing :)

Hey, The jumps feel really good, The lighting in the game is a little on the bright side though. Good Game!

Developer

Yes, I think it also gets brighter in the web build, but there is a washed out vibe for sure. Darker lighting would certainly make it look better.

Thank you for playing!

Did you voice the dying sound? very funny if so. The idea for controlling different critters is neat! I would like to see more abilities, but also some kind of element for why you can just mount critters and control them. This could be a fun game if developed further!

Developer(+1)

Yes the death sound was me. I had planned to add a few more, but did not get enough time. Much like mario, I think 3D platformers needs to use and throw an idea fast and explore and mix many such ideas. That would be the goal if developed further.

I never thought of having a reason to control the mounts, that would be  an interesting topic to explore.

Thanks for playing and the feedback!

The jump feels great. it’s super satisfying to jump between platforms. I found it a bit difficult, but I still really enjoyed the jumping mechanics. Great work! :)

Developer

Yes, precise jumping is off I noticed, I optimized it more for speed and covering big distance.

Thanks for playing!

I like spiders!

Submitted(+1)

Its interesting how your perspective changes when you are on the spider, the jump feels satisfying too :D Good work!

Developer

Thanks for playing  :)

I legit tried to get up on that platform above the one with the spider like 25 times and could not figure it out. The jump/speed feels satisfying and would love to have tried some more levels with this movement system.

Developer

Im sorry for not adding instructions, you can mount the spider by pressing q and then jump on to the wall to walk on it
