What a creative entry!!!! Even with the wall jumping this was a really good game

Submitted

This idea is awesome! A game you have to hack to beat the levels, brilliant!

The only problem I found is that you can actually wall jump in this game. I think it was not supposed to be possible to do this.

Love the idea! The aesthetic of this game is very cool, though maybe the player should have been a different colour to the ground as an idea? And the music is so groovy too, what did you make it in?

copy paste of my rating from your itch page: Camera left my soul. Super meat boy vibes. Holy nice level design, really frustrating yet rewarding 4/5

Alpha Play Test Ups and Downs

Ups

  • Audio is probably the best I've heard yet from what I've tried in this jam
  • Despite the simple art style, the game looks elegant
  • The concept is really original and works fairly well in practice

Downs

  • For some reason, I was able to jump multiple more times than twice at some parts and I am not really sure why

Overall, a really clever and fun game!

Developer

Yeah, that was the side effect of the bug I tried to fix, which created a side bug. Thanks for your feedback!

Great job! Very cool idea! ^^ I missed a level counter. The mechanic was rgeat, it was very fun to play with it! Nice job!

While not the first game to use dev options as a gameplay aspect, this put a cool spin on it, Great job! My only real issues would be that the spike hitboxes were a bit inconsistent in some levels, and that it became easy to exploit infinite jumps in some areas when mixed with dashes into walls.

Also if you could check my game out that would be great!

Developer

Sure, thanks for your feedback!

This is a SUPER creative concept. I think the only gripes I have are to do with level design. The main mechanics and simple art style work really well together. This is definitely one of the standout games this jam for me!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

wow the game is great the mechanices is great the concept is really good

wanna check my game?

Developer

Thanks! Sure

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the music, and the concept was really cool!

Submitted

Really interesting concept and executed very well. Also I don't know if it is intentional but you could push into the walls to gain infinite jumps and I may have used that to skip some of the difficulty on certain levels :P .

Developer

Oh right! I forgot to set the layer off to the ground on certain levels, but do you remember exactly which levels allowed you to pass?

Submitted

I don't remember which level number but it was towards the end and you had to fall and push through a side channel right before the goal.

Developer

Oh I see it! Thanks for reporting!

Submitted(+1)

I love how you put the player in the shoes of the developer to navigate their way through this game! The progression of difficulty was perfect too. Absolutely stunning.

Developer

Thanks so much!

Very good idea,i enjoyed it.Also there is a bug that if you change your size in small gap you still get bigger

Submitted(+1)

Well made, basic platformer mechanics and movement work great. All the different ways the main mechanic is used is great. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

Nice take on the theme, I found the levels to be just the right difficulty. I think the player movement could be a bit more polished and controlled to ease the tight platforming sections. The camera should also show the player any possible blind spots, as I found that sometimes I couldn't properly judge a jump. Other than that, I found this game to be very enjoyable and well made. Great work!

Developer

you're definitely right! Thanks for your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool idea and I really like how it ties in with the "story" of it

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Really well polished, everything flowed together nicely. Was a little confused at first bc I tried to ignore the developer test panel. Also found a third jump if you don't jump too high the first time. Great game overall!

Submitted(+1)

Well made! I enjoyed this unique experience. although as the pervious guy I had the same issue of having trouble maneuvering around tight levels. Very Fun!
