Hi :), I've made a video about the game and I wanted to share some feedback with you, hopefully it's useful :D
-The visual style is quite interesting but it could be more polished to match the character like in the second level.
-The main mechanics work well but sometimes they lack a bit of polish to be more solid, when sliding at first level for example.
-The first level is interesting to get into the mechanics, but the second one is very very very enjoyable, adding more levels like that would be awesome.
-The "menu" could be better, but the idea for selecting the level is interesting.
In conclusion, the idea is great and I hope you keep working on it or in making new games taking the strong points from this one. Hopefully this is useful for you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
I started playing this game about 4 hours ago. within the first hour I figured out how the super precise bounce works. i only have a 19.066 though. I have downloaded the game since the
So it is now known that the amount of speed you get from the big slide at the end of stage 1 on the slope is dependent on monitor framerate. I just did a test on 60hz vs 144hz monitor and on 60hz you literally can't get speed from the slope at all while on 144hz you can get insane speed from it to fly/jump across to the end. Not sure if you can do anything to fix this but its a huge problem because some people can't even Speedrun it if they wanted to now. So if it cant be fixed then separate categories will have to be made for different monitor framerates.
Yeah I noticed that inconsistency in the videos, been looking into it. I thought I programmed the physics to be framerate independent, but Unity can be weird.
Using deltaTime in Update. But that wasn't the issue. It was just a weird Unity physics thing. I just changed it so I manually calculate the boost speed based on the slope angle instead of letting Unity do whatever it was doing, and it works fine now.
Ah, gotcha. To be fair, physics stuff is usually better off using fixed time for this very reason. This article is really helpful in understanding; maybe it'll be useful to you. The article discusses this from the angle of a different issue, but applying physics using regular deltaTime is impacted by framerate.
I think this could be optimized more by hitting the edge of the second floating book (around 0:11) to reach the book with less waiting time. Also someone posted that apparently you can jump off the book at around (0:17) without lag, might be timing related though. Cool run!
I want to say that it doesn't matter too much. I think the critical point is the green book at 0:17. If you slow yourself down enough, you can clear the corner to keep some speed instead of hard stopping.
The downloaded version is always slightly going left for me? I even unplugged any my controllers and it's still doing it. EDIT: Apparently unplugging my PS4 wireless adapter fixed it, weird.
Amezing game, you're a legend. Downloaded game is definitely really smooth and love the sound effects. However, the in-browser game demo seems to have a bug where max jump-height can't clear the first large book-stack, thus you can't really playtest the game. I compared it to the downloaded version and there is definitely a jump-height discrepancy. Was using Google Chrome. Love the work though.

Dammit. This game is so cute and nice. Love this.
will the full game be on browser?

I am playing it. Yesterday I developed my first game. I also want to be a Game Dev like you guys. I am new to community. Love it!!!
Amelia's gonna GROUND POUND your mom
Is it just me being an idiot, my PC being crappy, or is it harder than it looks to go above the first pile of books?
This is amazing.
Great demo I would totally play this game if it every fully comes out.

I love this game. very epic
10/10
would let smol Ame ground pound my mom again
i didn't know i needed a fox in socks rap
Knowing i dont have paypal and card, thx for making this game
and im sorry for not donating, ill try to support the game.
Thank you.
this controls so great! hope you make a full game of this
This game is so nice I don't want to download it without donating!
Also I found a bug that launches Amelia in the void

So if it cant be fixed then separate categories will have to be made for different monitor framerates.
holy smokes i cant believe you figured it out!
i guess dev will have to start locking framerates?
credit to tryptech for finding that

Are you using a deltaTime approach in the Update method or fixedDeltaTime in the FixedUpdate method?
Using deltaTime in Update. But that wasn't the issue. It was just a weird Unity physics thing. I just changed it so I manually calculate the boost speed based on the slope angle instead of letting Unity do whatever it was doing, and it works fine now.

Great work, by the way, super creative!
we have a speedrunning discord now to submit runs https://discord.gg/GKrzH4Rx
https://clips.twitch.tv/HotCleverGarbageGrammarKing best run I got was fun to play with can't wait for the full version!
here's an All Bubba speedrun
God this is good
Did you talk to Walfie for smol ame custom animation sprites? Would like to try to develop 2D hololive games as well.
That was ame-zing!

Awesome slide at the end!

I tried and tried the 0:11 jump it doesn't appear to be possible
Although I've made a lot of claims which turned out be wrong

Oh yeah, forgot to post my personal best for the first level here:
Smol Ame speedrun Any% (First Level) [00.16.442] - YouTube
Holo Bass livestreaming your game yo!
I speedrunned ground pounding your mom. This game is amazing for the little content it has. Love the camera and animations. Really fun to speedrun.
This is way too good for a shitpost.
If you do a speedrun, post it here until the speedrun.com leaderboard is approved. A video or screenshot would be nice too
The leaderboard was rejected as the game is incomplete. I'll do my best to keep the times documented and resubmit whenever the game is complete
Show post...
bruh
Great game with 10/10 graphics and sounds.
lol
why are you telling me this, when it's not avaible in my country :((
![]()
God damn I really suck at this
Is there a way/shortcut to reset the level mid way other than finishing it? If not, it would be pretty usefull to speedrun
I would like this please
A restart or menu option would be great
There is, hold esc to go in menu and to restart hold r button.
