The game is good, like it. But there are some things I've got to say: firstly, I got stuck :( I unlocked 2/4 locks and I dont know what to do, I think it's just me level design is interesting. Secondly, jump sound or whatever it is this it sounds like you equip armor or something like that. And the last thing: no saves after reloading the page. Maybe I didnt make it to the checkpoint, but when I left I got to the starting point. Otherwise I like the style and the main mechanic is good

Heyy, first of all, thanks alot for the detailed feedback!
Im sorry you couldnt finish the game :(
Im curious tho, where did you get stuck? Did you get stuck on the right (from where you started) with the separate islands? or the big cave tunnel on the left?
My guess is that you couldnt figure out what to do when you went in the cave tunnel.. I did try to make the puzzle there harder to figure out :P
But ill be happy to assist you once i know the situation further :D
For the jump sound, thats just to give more personality to the player and the game itself (thats just my head canon tho, kel (our sound designer) made it and I just found the sound effect really cool xD)
And again, unfortunately there is no save system if you quit the game :(
I know it is not tha thard to add and we could have done it, but we barely managed to get this much out due to some github issues we faced at the last second. But If you die, you do respawn at the last checkpoints (they are invisible)
Again, thanks alot for trying the game out! Id love to assist you if you end up trying the game again, no pressure tho :D
I went to the right to the islands and pull both levers here. I stuck in cave tunnel. I exploded bomb in lava/magma and it just got all yellow and still killing me if I jump into it, maybe I'm just played dumb here and waste bomb :/
About sound effect: well, idk, maybe it gives the game a distinctive thing but you should make it not jump sound, maybe some graphics feature or maybe phrase when you jump like "eoeoh" of something :D
About checkpoints and dying: yeah I saw when you die you dont lose any progress - that's good, well actually not ideal: box teleport to its original place, but I think it's because you want player to not lose it somehow
Thanks for your detailed reply! I'd like to finish the game and see all of the content
when you threw the bomb, did you not get the wind burst? If you just run and jump in that, it should take you up.
I have seen that if you just run off the edge and dont jump, you do just fall and die (thats just the collision being a bit further ahead and a mistake on my end)
Ive never seen it not work for me tho if you jump, my only guess is that you didnt jump? I hope i didnt break anything 😭
About the sound, I get what you mean, itd be better if we added some visuals to ggo along with that sound for sure, I was just a bit too slow with my 3D haha
And ya, I was very concerned about soft locking the pllayer if they lost the crate or the bomb, so as a compromise, just made their position reset if you die
But, thanks alot for replying in such short duration! Id love to know if you do end up finishing it :D
