Each level something grows -- it could be the lane, could be the player, or could just be the world the lane is in. It is more of a storyboard prototype than a full game.
Could explore it in the future, but I say that about all my games. ;-;
The physics were a surprise to me as well and I moved my design to accommodate them -- I believe it's because of the marble mesh. I might experiment with the Kenney golf ball and see if it that was the reason.
and indeed it does loop. I was going to add some extra stuff to wrap up but lost a day dealing with import issues in UE4 (you need to set physics settings to 'complex as simple' for it to recognize the asset collisions.)
A fun little game with some brilliant ideas. Some of the building text does get cut off for the lumbercamps and farm houses but it has a solid foundation for a larger game.
I thought I commented previously but I really like this game. It fits the theme, has some interesting mechanics where you switch between modes, and there is so much else you can do with this game's future. Would love to see more clues from the imposter.
Fun fact: I had a roof originally but realized it took too much time out of my schedule to set up lighting the way I wanted, so everything got scraped. Definitely have some ideas for handling that in the later builds, because creating shadows and darker rooms will add to the unease of the player.
I'm a bit out of practice with uploading builds so I ran out of time debugging last minute issues. I plan to make sure all future jams I make are available for online play (as well as downloads for WIN/MAC)!
Post-jam I will be working on the web release and just implementing soo many updates that people have suggested. :)
Beautiful graphics and interesting gameplay, if only the controls were more fluid (yes it is a robot, but adding extra movement would make platforming more accessible).
Interesting idea. It felt like the jumps were set too large to bypass (with bombs in the way) so you had to switch to the ghost midair. A bit awkward like others mentioned. The hitboxes are also quite unforgiving with such a floaty character. Hoping to see the post-jam version come out soon!
Some positives and drawbacks when it comes to design. The slow pace could be warranted if there were consequences such as platforms falling if you use them twice without a break. Would be nice to be able to go faster over long stretches as well as having additional blocks to work with. Was unsure what the fountains or grassy blocks were for.
A fun game with lots of potential. Was not clear at first in which order you were supposed to mark the coins. Would be fun to see more types of coin models in a future release.
The fall damage should probably be removed and platforms could be highlighted when you can pick them up so its easier to get set up for puzzles. Overall there is a lot that can happen next with this.
The see-through shader has so much potential to expand upon and the mechanics could be extended to having fake coins as well. All around, hoping you continue with this project!
When I work on the full game I will definitely be easing the player into looking around the environment and having more cues for what walls are fake. The bug is related to Unity's controller, but I think it's fine to leave it in since players will think they are clever by peering into a storage room they can't access and seeing a skeleton or something lol.
Lots of room for growth, especially when it comes to boss telegraphing. The instantaneous teleporting on top of the character could have some kind of tell so the character can adjust to that. This could easily be part of a series of boss fights where the player has to deal with various kinds of bosses.
Loving the art style and opening animations. Definitely some challenging gameplay to get used to. If this was a full game, the demo would definitely be a mid-story boss fight haha.
Great use of assets, environmental puzzles, and implementation of the theme. Some way to view the current objective or inventory would help but is not necessary.
The second wave was definitely longer than it should have been, took quite a lot of clicking nonstop to clear them out. Adding the ability to place down traditional tower defense buildings or at least create barricades / traps would help the player do actions besides clicking. A "hold to fire" option could also be added for more accessibility.
A solid game with a compelling plot. Lots of options for adding onto this project in the future. Disliked how almost every chest in the ruins was a mimic however. Fighting them offered little to the player besides coins which were never utilized.
