Very nice graphics and the gameplay is super cool! Spoilers: I actually didn't know about the grapple mechanic on my first playthrough until I had already got the keys, so it added some nice replay ability for my 2nd run! The grapple mechanics animation is super cool and it feels very smooth to use. The music and sfx suit the game really well. The movement and visuals feel like they have great feedback and work really nice. The colours along with the artstyle are warm, welcoming and are easy on the eyes plus all the environment looks so beautiful! Overall the entire experience feels very polished, fun and the animations feel juicy, very nice job! I could see it being a lot of fun for speed runners too!
It is based on time but I can't remember the exact time since I made it so long ago, maybe under 120. The 3rd ending is getting the balloon and getting under the time I think
Wonderfully made, love the concept and feels really polished! I randomly logged on after a long time and saw the notification from you following me and I found this game, glad my game could have been any amount of inspiration for you! I don't do game dev anymore since I didn't enjoy it but seeing someone being inspired at all makes me glad I kept my games up. Good luck on all your projects!
thank you! And ye that is how I do the drop shadow, I use a script that I put before the draw_self that sets the objects current sprite to be black and translucent. I have the x and y as arguments so I can set it's position based on the object.
The level design is very well done, I love the first boss so much. It had so many fun strategies. I spent like an hour on the 2nd boss and couldn't get passed it but still a really fun game! :D
to me it didnt feel like it had much acceleration and deceleration , it also has jump buffering and coyote time. Maybe it was lagging or I don’t have them set high enough, it could be a problem with web builds slowing down. Thanks for the in depth comments!
I ran out of motivation for the game so I just quickly through together a little level so I could submit it, im glad you could look passed the janky level haha :D
ty!!! :D I ran out of motivation to add anything else for the dice gun to interactive with but I'm glad I still got it released with the little content it has. Maybe I will reuse the concept one day!
Thanks for the kind words :D I wasn't happy with the game so I decided to not put anymore time into making music or more sfx, this was just the tutorial level originally but I didn't want to make anymore levels so just had the tutorial level as the whole game haha
If I’m thinking of the correct thing then that’s intentional! I love in minecraft when you can run over gaps so I made the coyote time long enough to recreate that. You can see the sprite change for the frames you are over the water to a shocked kind of face, it is to show that you are no longer on a platform.
Art and music is beautiful! The gameplay, although repetitive, is a great concept. Would love to see the extra ideas added in a post-jam update if you do decide to keep working on it!
I wish I added more actual gameplay to it, especially something to tie it to the theme better. I would have had permanently regretted not submitting anything to the jam though ha. Thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic! Some of my favorite games are bite sized games with massive repeatability and strategies or techniques that take a little longer to master. This has a great gameplay loop that transforms the routes as you play without over complicating the concept. Intrigued to see if this ever gets expanded on after the jam.
It's quite scary and drags on a bit if you aren't into a slow burner, but the visual story telling is really great. A lot of symbolism and subtler moments that can be interpreted in your own way
