I didn't really get the theme but other than this nice entry. The climbing controls had a nice touch and the shooting / ammunition feature gave it more depth. Everything was visually pleasing.

The only thing I did not like was the music. That felt too repetitive (especially when close to enemies) and thus somewhat annoying.

Developer

Thanks man, yeah we put allot of work into the game :)

i liked it a lot good job! its nice to see a health system and not die instantly:D also the skip button was helpful. i only didnt like the buzzing sound when you die its too loud but thats easily fixable so great work :D

Developer

Hey, thanks man, nice feedback also. We're now days later and I still remember your game also :D

Rated - Oh the distant 3d background looks super cool!  The controls are pretty smooth and I like the squish blob animation.  I also like that how he shrink when you shoot.  maybe add some ground stains when he shoots his projectiles.  Great job!  Please check out my game when you have time ~ You can Dl or rate from this game play video.  Good day! 

Developer

Hey NeatGames, that's a cool idea men, ground stains are now on the build list ;).
The work of the team really came together in this one :)

Thank you, played it, rated it! nice little game , good mechanics ;)

Submitted

Nice game! Just the shooting feels a little inconvenient in my opinion.

Developer

Thank you. We're looking into it. ;)

Nice graphic (except for menu screens, just gameplay), nice audio.

Developer

Haha, thanks man, (yeah we know :D the green screens are amazing).

Submitted

The transition between levels is amazing!

Developer

Thank you! The Doppler effect is strong in this one.

At the start i was a bit confused but after i started running and getting momentum i was unstoppable, or at least i thought that, then i realized that i was hitting every hazard in the level and that my hp was very low, tried to be a bit more careful, but wasn't enough, i already was too low of health. 

Those graphics look really smooth and awesome, great game, nice work!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks men, really cool reply :)

Nice game, although i dont think you should restart from the very start when you die, maybe just att the beginning at a new level. The background is also very nice!

Feel free to also rate my game : https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/475557

Developer

Hey thank you. It is possible to skip levels. while in the level, press escape for pause menu, then press skip. ;)

Submitted(+2)

Oh, Guess imma go beat the game now ;P

Developer(+1)

Whahaha, nice.

Hi, I really liked your game, but I think you should be careful with the sounds and musics, they are pretty well made, but can be really annoying sometimes. I also had a bug that all the sprite renderes were wrong, but I just F5 the page and everything was alright again. Well done

Developer(+2)

Hey Napalion, thanks for trying that. We already have the fix so when the review period is done, we put it on here! :)

Submitted

Okay, good luck on that

Submitted(+1)

Fun game, I think the way the music switches is clever. A bit stressful when music goes crazy. I like the concept.

Developer

Hey how cool, I remember your game and now you came to rate ours, really nice!
Thank you, In a more final version, maybe it's good to keep the intense music only for endbosses ;)

Submitted(+1)

:) I like your idea and it works because the music is randomized anytime in the level. I think this worked well with the theme. Great work!

Developer

Hi there, I really want to  thank everybody that played and rated the game. Thanks to you we now have the required number of ratings! So again, thanks everybody!

Submitted

I really like the background. Sounds are a little hard on the ears - especially button click :D The game is quite fun to play. 

If you have some time come and see our game: https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/475756 :)

Developer

Haha, yeah some of the sounds are harsh. What about the sound when you die, the flatline, super annoying. Thanks for the feedback and compliments :)

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed :)

Developer

Thanks man :)

Submitted(+1)

This was fun! I kept dying so I decided to cheat but I wasn't able to move/jump once I did that. i liked the music too.

Developer

thanks! After the rating period is over we will update the game with a bugfix for that.

Submitted(+1)

I was first confuse if it's was a 2D game or a 3D game haha. You have nice graphics, were you created a lot of depht. That is quite impressive knowing you only had 1 week. Good job !

Carefull with the color language. You put the potion white, wich are object to grab, and the ennemies white too, wich was very confusing. Or is it your lie?...

Audio is good as well.

My main complain is that you made the player start from scratch when he die, even when we reach upper levels. I didn't had the courage to redo the whole first level to get back were I was...

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Hey super cool feedback men, Yeah the starting over from the beginning is a drag (you can press escape and cheat though ;)
In the pause menu, there is an option to skip every level :)

Submitted(+1)

Cool game, I liked the feel of the controls for the character. Also the background was pretty neat.

Developer

Thanks. It took some time but it worked out well in the end 

Submitted(+1)

it is very funny. Good job.

Developer

Thanks :)
