Solid entry! The graphics were detailed and polished; I loved the animations. My only suggestion would be to make the text box smaller or transparent. It filled too much screen space and made the platforming a bit harder. The movement was smooth, and everything felt nice. Overall, great game!

Congratulations on your submission!

Nice entry to the jam. Cool twist on the platformer. Since the level is huge it would be nice to have some environment indicators on where to go. 

Submitted

Great graphics, interesting implementation of the theme, and funny dialog. If there was more time in the jam, I think wall jumping could make the game even better. I'm not entirely sure where I was supposed to be going though, as I found a door and pressed E on it, and then the game froze, but that might have just been the end of the game. Other than that, very cool game.

nope its not an feature its an bug ;(

Yo, the gravity mechanic is one of the coolest things I've seen here. Good job on the game!

Developer

rated :)

controls were a bit more complex than the beginning stated, was jumping added halfway through development? 

Developer

actually this game was a prototype for a state machine i was trying to learn the original jump was responsive and smooth when i added levitatio n it gets floaty and stuff :(

Submitted

Pretty fun platformer, the jump is a little floaty but otherwise it feels good to play. I think it could do with some indication for when the levitation is about to run out, and also it could be a little clearer where you're supposed to go to reach the end of the level. But otherwise, this is a cool entry!

It... has a counter...

Though it is small and in the corner, so it's fair that you missed it.

Submitted

I thought the timer only shows how long until it begins. Does it also show how long until it runs out?

Submitted(+1)

I misinterpreted your original question. The levitation always lasts 5 seconds.

Developer

how did you count that ?

Submitted

The timer sets itself back to the large number once the levitation starts, not when it ends.

Submitted

Very interesting and cool concept for a game, I liked Merlins lines when you die or do something wrong.
The art pixel art style was pretty awesome
I enjoyed it a lot!

Submitted

Needed some improvements and bug fixes in terms of levitation and somehow making the player posible to do infinite falling (dunno how I did it). Still, a very solid game!

Developer

thanks for the feedback!!

Nice game, I think I am odd one out with controls, Most of the game including yours is designed with wasd keys (as I think it is more popular than arrows). For me I have rarely played any games with wasd keys so I am little bit uncomfortable as I have to play with my left hand (however I think I would have to get used to with it xD).a Anyway even after that I enjoyed it a lot. 

I noticed one bug where when you die on the water at start of level, you spawn outside the platforming area and keep falling and don't die   lol

Also I wished that dialog doesn't appear every time I flew upwards as it was obstructing where I was going and it became more annoying than funny

Otherwise great game and unique concept.

Developer

you can also use the arrow keys in right side of keyboard, and yeah there is a bug with spawn points that causes you to spawn in air

Submitted

Very cute game and very nice dialogue! :D

thanks !!
