Very cool idea. Reminds me of Baba is You. Encountered unexpected lag when trying to push blocks in one of the later levels, but overall it was nicely done for 3.5 hrs!
I completely get where you're coming from. Funnily enough the monsters used to have sound, but I scrapped it because I thought it sounded weird. I should have kept it in, haha!
Good effort. The pale character stood out, making gameplay clear between levels. The dash move also felt nice to control. However, the wall jump was a lot more challenging than I expected. Jump heights also felt a bit inconsistent. Maybe consider modeling your wall jump/jump controls closer to other 2D games like Hollow Knight or Celeste.
I liked how the idea was simple. When loading the game, I immediately knew that I needed to shoot the boxes. The inclusion of a menu was a neat touch as well. However, the mouse sensitivity on my end made it difficult for me to aim (I'm using a trackpad). It was also hard to notice the score counter. Putting it at the center of the screen could help with that. It would be cool to see some feedback once the trash is shot (maybe it explodes, makes a funny noise, etc.) Adding a garden or some sort of environmentally friendly structure to defend against the trash could make gameplay more purposeful as well. Overall, I congratulate you on your first game jam entry! I hope that you can continue your game dev journey.
Hold down "z" and move arrow keys in various directions to duplicate. The description (and in-game control scheme) has it set as "x," which is incorrect. Sorry for the confusion.
Very sorry, the input to hold down should be "z" not "x." The idea was to hold down z and press the arrow keys in a certain direction, but I understand how that's confusing. Thanks for your comments! I'll definitely have to make it less confusing.
The simple graphics were nice. I also enjoyed the sound effects. I had trouble understanding how the concept relates to the theme, but pretty good and responsive gameplay.
The art is great. I liked the use of the theme as well. At times it was hard to read the text towards the bottom of the screen. Though, I'm not sure if I'm the only one with that issue.
I feel this is a good attempt. Sometimes when moving to another area, the camera wouldn't completely follow my player. Aside from the other glitches that a previous commenter mentioned, I liked the music and simple aesthetic. Nice work.
Some of the puzzles were kind of difficult, but I never felt completely lost and was able to complete every level. This game is nice and simple. Good work.
Sorry. I was not keeping track of time, so I could not submit to this event in time. Is it possible to receive a late submissions link? if not, it's fine. Here's what I made: Temple of Secrets by 105 (itch.io. Sorry again.
