Really interesting idea! The mechanic itself was really good, my only issue is that you had to explain how to play with a instruction text outside the game. I would try to focus on a few tutorial tips or ways to teach the player in a more intuitive way. Anyway, it's hard to do every aspect on this short jams hahaha, the game is awesome, you did a great job! :D

Thanks for the feedback Matheus! We will make levels at the beginning to work as an auto-explanatory in-game tutorial to avoid using text, specially to make the color mechanic (strengths/weaknesses) easier to learn.

The Juan and Only will forever be in your debt, brave knight!

alvarohDeveloper4 years ago

Thanks for playing, and the feedback is on point, some brief way of reminding the player of the controls would have helped, and like Rexus said, making initial levels that teach you better . Anyone reading this post check MatheusCunegato's game it's incredible, will for sure suck you in.

I don't know I just liked it. It feels smooth and fun to play! Great game!

Would love to see more levels, and the Juan jelly design really allows for character customization, that would be a great feature in the future.

Thanks for the compliments! We wanted to add a little helm to Juan, but ran out of time, so only ended up adding the little helm's ponytail. We'll add that and definitely more levels (we have some great ideas and are already working on designs). We'll let you know when they're ready!

Thanks for lending your courage & wits to the Jelly Knight!

Well I had some trouble figuring out that you need to exit the level using the ladder, I was restarting every time thinking I did something wrong, lol. Good job tho, rated.

The Bouncing One

PablohrdzDeveloper4 years ago

Ah, that’s great feedback! We’ll definitely have to work on making it more obvious (adding a contrasting color and perhaps an animation has come to mind).

You have our gratitude, valiant soul!

DecentKittenSubmitted4 years ago

My only question is what is the creature that we control? :) Well done!

Submitted

PablohrdzDeveloper4 years ago

It is a once lauded knight in shining armor, who was cursed by an evil wizard and is now stuck in the body of a jelly.

Thank you for aiding the Jelly Knight in his endeavor to recover his human form, fearless champion!

Red dot, blue dot, green dot
Feels a bit like a shooter with paper, rock, scissors

PablohrdzDeveloper4 years ago

Yeah, the core mechanic is based on a R/P/S relationship!

We hope you enjoyed playing through the adventures of the Jelly Knight!

GamesaliveSubmitted4 years ago

The Jelly Knight cannot express enough gratitude, kind soul.

dzamaniSubmitted4 years ago

I can see how this game can give me a headache which make it great!

I'm a bit stupid but had to think to understand that I could catch and then the balls in the first level haha

PablohrdzDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

On the contrary, fellow adventurer. Your wits and courage saved the kingdom from peril and lifted the curse of the Jelly Knight!

Thanks for the compliment & we hope you enjoyed our game! :)

Whoever sees this comment, go see dzamani's game, it's super cool: https://dzamani.itch.io/the-only-neone

(After you play and rate ours? The Jelly Knight needs your help!)

H_LabsSubmitted4 years ago

BGM is great! The levels were also fun and served to make the most of of your mechanic. I really enjoyed this!

Submitted

PablohrdzDeveloper4 years ago

Right?! I even play it on the background to give me motivation! Thanks for the compliment!

You have our gratitude, brave warrior.

Beaver JoeSubmitted4 years ago

I like your BGM although when I enter your game first time, Your game is little loud. But it does not matter.

And the control system I spend several seconds to familiar. Very great control for me instead of simple ASDW.

Hopes you can rate mine and appreciate.

(I am playing this level and lets me continue.....)

PablohrdzDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Thanks for the compliments! We played yours and it is pretty cool!

May you continue to get amazing ratings and good luck in your adventure, kind traveler.

Beaver JoeSubmitted4 years ago

Thanks~ (•̀ᴗ•́) و ̑̑

olinkalexSubmitted4 years ago

It was alright, didn't understand it at firs, but was able to figure out the game. Again pretty decent.

PablohrdzDeveloper4 years ago

Glad you figured it out!

Hope you had a fun adventure, fellow champion!

The kingdom is in your debt, gallant knight!

Sofiaarredndo4 years ago

Amazing! I love it

PablohrdzDeveloper4 years ago

You've earned the respect of the Jelly Knight!

footnote_fever4 years ago

I like the main mechanics and how it affects the way you navigate the levels. On the one hand, these levels felt too easy (the last one does introduce a bit of a puzzle); on the other hand, they do a great job of introducing the basic rules and mechanics in an organic way. This concept has a lot of potential and I hope you add more complex levels in the future!

PablohrdzDeveloper4 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for the compliments! Yes, the first levels are easy, but we wanted to introduce the color mechanics without having an explicit tutorial (we absolutely hate those). I'm glad you noticed that, since that means we did a good job :). We´ll definitely let you know once we add more complex levels!

Thank you for restoring peace to the Jelly Knight's heart, adventurous champion!
