Wow, using your mouse to swipe is a really cool mechanic! I haven't seen anything like that yet.
But sadly it's a two edged sword. I don't know if it's just me, but I can't seem to get past the vertical shaft with 4 needle pickups. I can go twice in a row up, but from there on out, it's super sensitive to go left or right and I fall back down. If you could find a way for it to be more controllable, it would make the gameplay perfect.
Other than that, the game has good animations, it has an opening, the visuals are good, audio is good, you teach gradually how to play, the parkour is great... It's genuinely really good! Good job!
I like the simple concept. Adding a QUIT button for a browser game isn't the best indeed XD (I can speak from my own experience too). Well done for your first game!
Cool game! I like the gameplay loop, but it's sometimes unfair though. The camera moves into a certain position, then it changes and there's nothing I can do to get out. Other than that, I really like the execution! Keep going!
I like the look of the shader. I' think I'll even try it out myself for the next jam. I didn't see the monster though, and since I assume that he's meant to chase you, the walking distances feel too long without him. Other than that, I really like the vibe. Keep going!
It's really fun to play and the visuals are stunning! I like the fact that it is hard, but be careful that you don't make it unfair. I think changing the locations of the checkpoints would help, but that's just my opinion.
I can read that you didn't get to add music/ SFX/ quest with another ending/... because of time, I would suggest to try prioritizing. Make a list of what is necessary(1 song/ 5 characters/ ...) and what is optional but would make the game better (for example extra characters). If you have implemented all the necessary things, you can start working on the optional things. That's just my suggestion for time management.
Otherwise, I find the characters and dialogue really creative. You guys are doing great, keep making games!
I was confused if I was moving at first, because everything is so dark and the floor is black. I think adding a floor texture (even if it's barely visible) would improve the first impression. But other than that, good job (especially since you've made it in 48 hours)!
The phone doesn't lie, I should have made that clear in game. I didn't do it now, but other games in the game jam teach you gradually how to play. I'll try and do the same for my next games tho. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It's all so good! The music, interactive UI, the gameplay, gradually teaching how to play... I will be able to learn so much just from analyzing this one game. Really well done!
