Nice Idea, the atmosphere is great ( I like the graphics and music). The game is quite hard to play, I was stuck in one place jumping without the possibility to charge it... 

Good job.

My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match , Thanks

Yes, we are aware of that bug and we arw ashamed we couldn't fix it in time for the final submission. Then again, I hope it didn't stop you from playing the game completely. Thank you for playing, we'll be sure to check out your game as well!

I really love the unique artstyle and the relaxing music but gameplay-wise this felt like a rage game. The fact that if you completely stop moving while in the air and that you can't tell where the robot will stop make it extremely frustrating and if that was your intent, a rage game where everything nis chill except you, than you achieved it. Keep up the good work

Really beautifull game and good audio. Also really loved the sound effects of the UI menu in the beginning. Would love to see how the project looks in Unity to learn from it ^^.

Some constructive feedback:

  • I think adding some kind of charge indicator, to help you know how much energy you "rewinded", would go a long way towards satisfying gameplay. It's frustrating where as a player you don't feel like you can master it. But with a visual help it would be a lot easier to start learning how far your character will walk.
  • I ran into a bug on the first location where you have to jump your way to the next platforms higher up. My character got stuck on that edge and all it did was continuously jump up and down.

But the game is a gem. Hard not to fall in love with it ^^

Please try out my game and let me know what you think .

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! We are aware of that bug as we encountered it multiple times during play testing and we never really found a one-for-all fix for it so sorry for that. Regardless, thank you for playing the game despite its difficulty! I'm afraid we can't send our project file since it was a Unity Collab project but I guarantee you, we didn't do anything that can't be found on YouTube Unity Tutorials :)

The graphics and music was really cool and the lightings were also nice. The gameplay was at the same level but the opposite..lol Just kidding.. Felt like I was playing getting over it.. Great Job :D

Really enjoyed the whole presentation of the game. Not sure about gameplay though, not being able to switch sides manually complicates everything.

Developer

For this game, we wanted the difficulty to be the charm of the game so it would come naturally for the game to have a frustratingly punishing movement mechanic similar to the gameplay of  Getting Over It or Jump King, our two main inspirations for the game. Despite your frustrations, we thank you for taking your time with the game and appreciating its visuals. Thank you Heizee!

Definitely seeing the "Getting Over It" influence ;) In the end I did not have the patience/endurance to finish the game (accidentally falling back to the start instead of going in the donate box is what did it for me), but I can see those who love those kinds of games (Jump King, Pogostuck...) also loving the hard to control character and the intense, risky platforming here! I also love the Toy Story vibes!

Developer(+1)

Hello Temperanza Bros.! We tried our best to make the game a LITTLE extra harder and I'm glad that you loved it! We are clearly inspired by Bennett Foddy's Game, and it was the first time(I think) someone mentioned Jump King, that was one of our inspiration in making this game as well. Thank you for playing our game!

Developer(+1)

I wanna say thanks for trying to finish the game before leaving a rating! Most people don't have the patience to even leave the first area and they suddenly leave salty comments about the movement mechanics LOL  We are happy to hear all the things you said here because you mentioned almost every source of inspiration we had. From Getting Over It to Toy Story, we're glad to see that our ideas were clear to at least a few people like you so, thank you so much for playing!

Great shading and camera control, robot can be a little frustrating to control at times, this might be helped by showing the amount of remaining charge.

Good narration too, very nice addition to the whole feel.

Hi the games is absolutely great, the graphics are really beautiful. It was too difficult for me tho, I would have liked the game not to be so punishser.

Developer

Since it was for a game jam, we thought we wanted to immediately bring the idea across that this was in fact a difficult game. Nevertheless, thank you so much for playing! We're so happy to here that alot of people are enjoying the presentation of the game with the graphics and sound. we hope you have a great day ahead!

The audio and whole look is spot on, amazing. The beatboxing in the menu, i was just vibing lool. A very unique take on the theme. The game is very charming. Just a few things that should be improved. The game felt a bit tedious after a while. Also when i started trying to climb up and i kept falling, because i did not have control it was quite frustrating to land precious jumps.  Overrall a good game!
