Im a big fan of Tiki Jump. The game was extremely frustrating, the controls were aggrivating, and the level design made my want to throw my tablet out the window. The feeling I had playing this game was something I have not felt in a very long time, and I thank Tiki Jump for that. Overall, Tiki Jump is an incredible game.
I quite liked this game. It was a tough little adventure with nice theming (i liked playing as the little slime fella). Though i was very confused when mulm attacked as he turned red because usually in games characters turn red when THEY are attacked though its a minor nitpick. I also like the levels and doors, it was like metroid prime.
The implementation of the slide jump wound up very underwhelming. It's essentially just another jump that feeds off of the slide's added velocity, resulting in that tight time window to be effective. Originally, I wanted Sierra to launch into a cool torpedo spin jump for some flair + distance. In the source code she has a few unused animations for it.
I saw a few clips of this one in the discord and the style immediately stuck out. It's simple, but simple is great! The ending got a huge chuckle out of me as well. Great stuff!
I've experienced the bonk of death many a time. The window to jump after hitting the wall is small and definitely could have benefited from more leniency. I tried to take the Super Mario 64 approach with wall jumps for better and for worse.
Thanks for the feeback! Yep, the general consensus is that the game is hard as nails. Going back and playing after some time away from the project and I have to agree.
I'm glad you liked the visuals! The way Sierra's model and the music turned out are a big source of pride for me lol. Thanks for playing!
This one was really interesting! I enjoyed my time with it, well done. I was able to go out into the void during the accusation part, found a table hanging around lol
For sure, the tutorial is my biggest oversight here.
Thank you for the kind words! The game was really cobbled around the Sierra character. Much of my original idea for the game didn't see the light of day, as is the case for many jam games.
Thank you so much for the feedback! You're right, climbing the building especially winds up being frustrating for that reason. I'll experiment with adjusting the raycast that's responsible for the wall kick.
Most of my testing was done on a gamepad, and since it's a game based around 360 degree analog movement (variable speed, precise directions, etc) the keyboard experience is definitely the more challenging one.
You're definitely right. I made the bulk of the game, basically the entire map, in one sitting last night. Now that I'm rested up I can definitely see how even the tutorial is asking too much initially.
It's a very tight window between contact with the wall and getting stunned. Admittedly, probably too tight of a window, not to mention a little finicky I'm sure.
There's actually a few frames in that stun animation when you're thrown back that you can still pull off a wall kick. Maybe try delaying your button press a tiny tiny bit.
