Thank you so much this is exactly the way I wanted people to play. It it brings me so much joy to hear this!
could you explain what you think is needed to be polished?
Viewing post in Of Maps and Chaps jam comments
There are probably several ways to address it, but as some examples:
- the death sequence is a bit plain. a death anim/sound, plus something to make the DEAD screen feel a bit more connected to the player (slow fade in, could even have a quip/commentary on how the player died)
- could just make it really fast, and respawn right where before you died, so it doesn't feel bad at all
- make things like spikes have more clear hitboxes, maybe make them player-favored so you can graze them without dying
- could have a "look up/down" option so you can look before you leap
these are some great points, thank you! I agree about the spikes I didn't make them the best way because of time and same thing with the death part and look up / down but I think this is very doable
I might decide to continue this game after the jam, and I'll do all of these, thank you for the feedback!
