Another fellow dev who decided to go with the "play as the level" idea, love to see it!
Quite the challenging game, maybe at times a little TOO challenging. A few less red boxes in the level near the beginning definitely would've helped make the game feel a little more fair. Fantastic stuff otherwise!
I've always wanted to play as Lakitu from Super Mario 64!
I like the concept, but would find it difficult to find the player sometimes if they got off camera. Perhaps a minimap of the level which shows his position in the world would've been a helpful too, The range of how close the camera needs to be could've used some work too. Otherwise great job!
I found this game to be quite awkward to control, and the companions never seem to want to shoot where I want them too. Definitely like the idea of the usually helpless companion being the one to keep the protagonist safe though, cool take on this year's theme. Definitely an idea worth iterating on
Instead of playing the game, you're making the game. Great job running with this year's theme! You've done a great job with the flappy bird AI especially. Fantastic work, incredibly impressive.
A bit on the easy side, and the blocks don't reset on death. But other than that, great job with the game! I especially enjoyed making myself a column to reach the top of the board, then ricocheting off the blocks to get an insane multiplier. Cool concept for sure
Great take on the jam theme for sure, though quite a bit confusing as to how the mechanics actually work. Definitely an idea work iterating and improving on though
Reminds me a lot of super monkey ball! Think you've made a fun game here, only critique I have is the controls are a tad wonky, with having to point the mouse where you need to go and also having mouse movement rotate the camera. Other than that great game!
These are some cleverly put together puzzles, well done! Some of these levels definitely had me thinking for quite some time. I think you have a really solid idea here, would love to see this concept explored more.
Cool game! Amazing pixel art style, catchy music, and a clever use of a die roll mechanic. I would love to see this idea expanded upon, hope you continue to work upon this idea in the future.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, we both had a ton of fun putting this together. We both went to school for game development and have been looking for a way to stretch our development muscles again, figured this jam was a good way to go about it. This was the first jam either of us had done and I have to say, for me at least, I will definitely be doing something like this again!
