I've seen a lot of truly 1D games, but to be honest they are kinda boring. I mean it's hard to make a complex 1D game. That's why I went for this middle ground.
Teaching something was surely one of my goals! I'm very glad that it worked! I have plans for adding more to the game, so be sure to check it in a week or so.
Thank you! I thought about adding an indicator of where the player and maybe coins are, but it would make it too simple and would feel like cheating to the whole idea of only seeing 1D. And getting lost is part of the experience.
The sound slider was made pretty quickly, just to get it working. Locking camera and movement in 1st level is good idea, I'll think about that. I'm thinking about making about expanding on that game, adding more levels and such. Moving and/or deadly obstacles are on my list. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you liked it!
Thanks for the insight! And yes, seeing where collisions is hard, but that's because of the fact that you only see one slice. I could add a sound for trying to walk into wall. And camera speed is something I also didn't really notice, mostly I think because of the fact that I knew the maps already.
I think I saw somewhere that Mark said that you can edit your gamepage, but you need to keep the build that was submitted and make it VERY CLEAR which one was submitted for game jam and should be rated. I'm not entirely sure about that though, so I wouldn't risk it.
Hi! I made a game about 1D view of 2D world! It's a maze-like game, when you need some abstract thinking and good spatial intelligence! I would be glad if you left a comment and a rating, whether you liked it or not, just some feedback! Thanks and have fun! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/460919
Nice game, however it was unclear what the player should do. I get it that that's a part of the idea, however explaining at least the controls would be nice. It took me a while to find out that you can sprint and another while to realize that there is hidden "stamina". Otherwise it's a cool idea with nice execution

Nice game! However, it's easy to shoot the arrow in such a way that it enters a stable orbit and if it orbits too high, it never comes back. Maybe add some air friction, so that it eventually slows down?
Thanks! I was actually thinking about moving obstacles, but I didn't have enough time to make more maps. Maybe I'll update it with more updates someday.
If you purchased these art, you have the legal right to use them. And sprites and tiles are "video assets", so I'm pretty sure you can use them. I think by design they meant game design
