Congrats man!

Really cool game, only thing i had problem with, was that jump was a bit too low, it should be just a bit higher, because jumping on 2 block platform was painfull

Holy guacamole, this is great! I love that you've taken the "Dying to progress" a lot of games have and took it to the next level. You're not using dead bodies as platforms, and as such I don't have to repeat massive sections of the game everytime I want to progress, instead I move the orb, and the game dynamically follows me, its really cool!

I can see why the screen stays still, but the screen transition between up and down of some segments can feel a bit off sometimes, but other than that a really great game, I'd love to fight a boss or something with this mechanic, see where it goes? Possibly conveyor belts or something for moving the orb.

Thanks a lot for your input! If I had more time I would definetly add jump pads, something that moves the ball in different ways and probably many more. About the snappy camera I knew it was a lil bit off but always moving vertical camera was even worse for me at least it just didn't click with me so I left this one. I recently came up with a very good solution to that problem which is a camera that smoothly interpolates instead of snapping onto the place it needs to go (but the interpolation only occures when you're close to leaving the screen) but I probably won't be updating the game with it. Im really proud of the mechanic implemented in this game, there's so many possibilities you could potentially go with it. Just like you said. Thanks to all of you people leaving amazing feedback that really taught me what is a good mechanic. I might end up actually adding it to my commericial game im currently working on :)

Awesome game, loved the orb mechanic, controls are pretty tight and the visuals are next level!

Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot pal!

Submitted

Man, how in the world did you finish this inside the allotted time?! Awesome game, very well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot! And actually I nearly didn't manage but i guess i got it so haha

Simple but strong idea for this orb mechanic. I like when the core idea of the game is easy to pickup, in this type of jam! Creative as well, it's the first game i see with this interpretation of the theme. Well done!

Submitted(+1)

Solid, innovative mechanic. I wish that the aiming controls were a bit more free. I did like the different approach to the theme.

When I first saw this game I knew it will be good, and I wasn't disappointed. This game was something else. Everything about it was fantastic. The art is great, the mechanic is really creative and intuitive, the music is really chill and fits the atmosphere. It's outstanding how polished this game is with very little time. If I saw this game outside of the jam I would have probably thought It was a full commercial game. The level design is really clever; not a single level felt unfair. The tutorial is probably the best I've seen, It's easy to understand, interactive, and probably what makes this game so good. 

I also loved how if the orb got somewhere impossible to reach it returns to you. A very clever thing to keep in mind so the play doesn't get stuck.

I also really loved the effects put in, the smoke particles coming out from switching directions, as well as the orb trail. Really adds to the wonderful art of this game.

I can definitely see this game turning into a full game in the future (If you plan on expanding it, please inform me!)

This game was really fun until the end, Awesome job!

I love all the art and animation. The cocnept is cool too.

Just an epic game, i really enjoed it, nice work

Developer

Thanks for your valuable review!

Submitted(+1)

Really nice and polished.
Probably my favourite art so far.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Art reviews are really important for me because im pretty much just starting in that regard and people already liking it big cheers man!

Submitted

Very polished with a great aesthetic and game mechanic. Good job!

Developer

Thanks man!

Submitted

Nice Game :D cool mechanic good concept to developpe one mechanic and us in the Jam ;-) thx for playing Blender man It was fun watching over your sholder while you did!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a bunch! Blenderman the blends nicely dude

Submitted

Very polished! I'm impressed! The visuals, the tutorial design are super clear and intuitive, and once the mechanic is introduced you good to go! Never seen such a mechanic in a platformer. Where you need to avoid spikes, but also get in touch with them once you set a checkpoint yourself (by throwing a checkpoint ball). For now, the levels are quite easy, but I'm sure that you could experiment and make crazy puzzles with it. Overall, a fun platformer with a twist ;)

Developer

Thanks man! 

Submitted

Wow, uhh, this game is great! One of the most creative uses of the theme so far, the art is great, and the sounds and music are nice, and i only have 2 complaints. 1, when you die with the orb, it would've been nice to go back to the last place you threw it instead of the start of the level, and 2, i just wish there was more. Alot of the games this jam go for a visual polish, this one is extremely polished gameplay wise, from the character movement, to the need to hold r to reset the orb so that there are no accidents, it's all just great and fun. Amazing game!

Developer

Yoo thanks for your feedback! I get what you're saying here but I think that dying with the orb is perfectly balanced since I wanted this to be a fail condition cause well with this jam theme its kinda hard to make one haha. Also yeah more content although for a jam its enough. Cheers!

Submitted

Alright, i can see that, the levels aren't huge and it only happened to me once, so it makes total sense why that was there.

Submitted

One of the best in the jam!

I think the game is better when you can only throw it when you are in the air, so I just played liked that.

I did got a bug and got stuck when falling down once. I just didn't respawn.

Visuals are amazing!

Well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah you can play my game how you prefer I usually myself like to teleport mid-air just like you. Also Im aware of the bug hence the debug respawn by pressing L on the keyboard. 

Submitted(+1)

Actually the best game I have played now, visuals are awesome, mechanics are great nothing to complain here!

Developer

Thanks a lot!
