I’m glad it got the intended reaction out of you. Thanks for the acknowledgment of the theme being weaker than the rest of the game. The two of us didn’t have much art skills doing this game so we couldn’t deliver as well on the ambience and visual of a theme so we might look into getting an actual artist on the team to fill in that gap so we can feel confident in developing a better game identity. Thanks for the feedback
Amazing time! The 12:34, I set up as a starting time, was my first run through of the game, so I knew there was a lot of time to save, but 4 minutes is quite incredible. That being said, I did get on a sub-3-minute pace but bottled it on the final platform in the blue section. It was tragic, but that's how speedrunning these types of games goes. I like how you point out the puzzle of understanding what to do with your skill set. We had some playtesters go through the sections, and some found the path quicker than others. When they did, it was amazing to see their reactions. Especially the green section, it's very short but packed with high momentum swings and tight tolerances.
Also, lucky for you, if you do want to continue playing this game, we might be continuing it to create a DLC for a not-so-nice Steam release, where all the safety nets we put into the game jam, as well as the lack of super crazy movement, will be stripped away.
We utilized the built-in Unity bounciness physics and had to tune it extensively to achieve the desired balance between gravity and fall, ensuring that the character didn't bounce too far. This was to prevent the bounce from feeling floaty and too fast, which would make the bounce feel unrewarding. It was a tight balance.
It would be great if you could grapple into our game.
