Best game I've tried in this Jam (so far). Good controls; I'd feel more comfortable with a controller (with a dpad, etc.), but maybe that's just my background. The concept is great and the game is fun, really nice work.

How does your game fit the theme "Unconventional Means"?
It's an action platformer with no walking or running. You need to jump to get around, an UNCONVENTIAL way of getting around.

Floor is Lava Ups and Downs
Ups:
- The graphics and music are both great
- The concept is really unique and fun
Downs:
- The controls felt a little stiff
- This is a minor thing, but I think the 'chromatic abrasion' post-processing effect was turned up a bit too high
Overall, a really fun and creative game!
I liked the music and the graphics were nice too -fun game! -good job!! :D
Nice game! It has some physics problems, but overall it's pretty cool!
Nice game! It has some physics problems, but overall it's pretty cool!
Likes:
- Sprite art mixed with the (honestly overly used) chromatic aberration gives it a unique aesthetic
- Fun and interesting level design that fits together with the gameplay nicely
Dislikes:
-
I think more time should have gone into tweaking the grappling system. I found the physics to be a bit unwieldy at best
-
Although the overall visual design is pleasant, as mentioned above I feel the post processing is a bit overboard. Its way past “aesthetic” territory in some places. To alleviate this I would simply reduce the fish eye lens effect if possible.
Overall really well polished and designed experience. Great job!
The wall jump is quite hard to control and you seem to just change direction mid air which is pretty weird and unintuitive. Otherwise graphics where great, I loved the animations between the levels and the camera effects where great. Good job!
At first I didn't know how the grapple works. But after reading Nick!'s comment I got it.
Nice game!
Love the graphics! although i am very confused on how the grapple feature works. but overall amazing! this is AAA quality stuff
