Hi thanks for playing my game, and for the feedback. Asteroids do normally bounce off the enemies however if an enemy UFO crashes into an asteroid which is locked in place with your tractor beam then it will destroy it, this is easier to accomplish when your score is low and by zooming carrying an asteroid, just be careful though not to use the tractor beam for too long because asteroid can crash into you

I do think space invaders combined with either pong or snake or breakout could work well. It would be cool to discover what game you get by mixing different classic games together and see how hard they would be to play. I have come across a game, not on this jam, but which was like snake and pacman, and it was a really good puzzler, you collect the dots and get longer as expected in a maze and then have to plan which way to go so you don't crash into yourself, I don't think I will find it again as I've forgotten what it was called. But you can definitely make some nice combinations suitable for any skill level 

I won't lie it is a hard game and it gets harder as your score goes up. The asteroids will travel faster and the enemy UFOs get better at evading. Seven is a very good score especially considering the controls are alien to you (pun intended). 

My highest score so far is eleven, I think it helps to stay above the enemies because then you have an easier time shooting without getting shot, also you can use the tractor beam which is effective when you are higher especially if you zoom  (press d) and are carrying an asteroid or if you wait above an asteroid the enemy is on a collision course with then use the tractor beam while above. You do have to be careful using the tractor beam though because asteroids can be destroyed by other asteroids and they can rise and destroy you like you mention when the tractor beam is used for too long, but to prevent this you can either release spacebar (stop tractor beam) or hold "w" to rise higher before the asteroid is pulled into you. 

You are right i probably should have set the controls differently,  I am getting a lot of comments about them. Maybe the arrow keys for movement and "z" and "x" for weapons would be better default controls

I have never tried playing two games at once until now, which is why I probably suck at this, it seems to require a crazy amount of skill to survive even for a short period, but a very interesting idea and challenge! I'd love to see what else you make. I think it would be awesome if you could choose which two games to combine from a selection.

An enjoyable platformer, love the character and the great music, and the effects when landing and when moving in the air are amazing. 

This looks awesome and controls really well. I think it will be a really fun game when it is finished. Best of luck!

Cool mechanics 

A really fun, and intuitive game, with lots to discover. Great sense of progression. Would definitely like to see more of this!

The instructions with the magnet disappeared before i could read them but i did read them in the description, the magnetic ability was awesome, and the dashing and movements work really well. Good job!

I didn't know whether I was making good decisions or not but it was certainly nice to watch

This is a very interesting fun and challenging game, I made it to level three, I love the bonuses you get for saving people and how you progress to the next level. A very neat game. 

I liked the introduction very much, especially how you can make the text move down faster, that is a nice touch. Choosing which boss to fight is cool too. I wish I was better at this game, the attacks, movement, everything, just looks incredible. A really good game. 

Thanks for playing and giving feedback. The Africa tile is supposed to change to Australia sometimes, not sure why it doesn't. Anyway, Africa is the odd one out because it is a continent, and not a country like the others

Thank you for the feedback, I think if I could expand on this I would give players the option to click on the tile using the mouse or a finger and I would love to add more levels

Really like the artwork and you have made trading so much fun, i can tell a lot of thought went into this

This is awesome. 

Thanks for your constructive feedback, and pointing out a bug, hmm I don't understand why that would happen and not had this issue whilst testing the game myself 

Hi thanks for playing my game and leaving feedback, I agree the game could be smoother, the main thing I wanted to show was the different  ways a player can distribute weight to trigger the destruction of a platform

(1 edit)

Thanks for playing my game, I think it helps to drop down at one of the two ends and time it so you land on an enemy or so if you do miss, then the enemy is moving away to give yourself plenty of time to drop again. The rats behave differently, they won't chase you like the spiders but you can't just rush because there may be snakes below.  One final tip: Keep the ball close because if the enemy touches the ball it's pretty much game over, unless it's a snake, in which case just be aware the ball doesn't squash it. 

Good game and like that you can find and watch a youtube video. The platforms which disappear after a while upon touching them definitely have improved your game, there could maybe be some warning that they are about to disappear though perhaps by fading

I like your game and what the platforms do, however I do think animating the platforms could make a big difference to the feel of your game

I think this game is great and has a very good chance of winning this jam, there are lots of interesting platforms, which all look great when they are destroyed.  

I think you set the bar very high when you submitted this game so early on, the animations are perfect

I had fun playing your game. I like shrinking platforms and limitations, not sure if you know but the block you push doesn't always land where it should, it is cool though and fits perfectly with the style of your game. I have no idea what that button does at the end of the game, it seems like it should create a platform. I got to the end somehow. Maybe you could have some platforms which can fall and squash the boss or have to land on his platforms so they disappear.

I think I got quite far and would definitely continue to the end if it didn't stop working.. The destructible platforms are amazing to watch burn, and think you know this judging by the cool checkpoints. You have certainly shown how much fun your platforms can be. I believe you deserve to win this jam and wish you luck!

there is a lot to like about this game, one being the artwork, I like that you lift up in the air when you land on a destructible platform, maybe it could disappear in a more interesting way eg if the logs were floating on water, and you land on a vertical platform it could sink a little like a trampoline, lift you up then sink and make a splash, it might be quite difficult to do but looks like you have some skills with animation. 

My first thought was where are the platforms? But then I realised you are controlling the platform, I really like playing your game. I think it would be better if you could see more destruction, e.g. feathers falling (which maybe you could recollect) or you could have a character with a jetback which could explode upon impact, you could also collect fuel shown by a bar rather than display a number, and carry a limited amount, as I have found that sometimes you can collect more than one jump with one jump which i like but it can eventually become too easy if there is no limit (not sure if there is in your game) but something to consider. Overall I would say this is a clever idea, and the gameplay is awesome. 

nice game

hello all, i am the maker of 'meet your death' in platformer challenge #1, after enjoying the jam I have just submitted my next game for the second platformer challenge, I have named my newest game 'death scream' and hope you all enjoy it, or draw some inspiration from it, and I look forward to playing your games!

thanks for playing my game and leaving feedback. Yeah having different weapons for enemies could be interesting and as for the levels i would have liked to make a maze like game similar to prince of persia with spikes and platforms which crumble etc

thanks for playing my game and glad you found it fun, level 9 is the last and hardest level, nothing special happens when you complete the game it will say well done and tell you to press R to restart

thanks for playing and leaving your feedback, i totally agree with your points made

this is a fun game, and you should be proud, jumping from one platform to another is great fun. It reminds me of games where you use grapple hooks. I just feel there should be more variety of platforms 

This is a good platform game, but it is a shame there are no moving platforms and this is the only reason I am giving a low score. Had this game been an auto runner it would recieve a better score however this wouldn't make it a better game. Some simple things I think you could have done to get a better score and reach the top is to make the platforms drop when they are stood on for a while, and maybe make them move side to side.  

This is an exceptionally well made game. Even though most of the platforms weren't really needed and occasionally get in the way you'd think it would be really bad but it actually works really well kinda like the original sonic games on the mega drive - where you just want to go fast, and use your characters abilities to get to the end killing or dodging enemies on the way.

Although some platforms didn't come back when they were supposed to, and seemed to kill me unfairy I kind of expect that with any late entry, but how good are the moving platforms? well i absolutely love the ideas you have come up with. 

The boat platform was fantastic, so too were the platforms which dip into lava, and the lightning was really fun to dodge whilst jumping to the next platforms. Normally its not a good idea to stand on a platform which breaks / vanishes so it did feel good when you need to. My favourite platform games are those which make you feel like you are learning something for the next challenge. I can't really fault the platforms. Well done!
