The movement definitely needs improvement, and the controls were a giaant oversight lol, I like using my keyboard like a big controller but I have learned that's not a shared sentiment.
I'm a bit curious to know when the dash doesn't trigger. Few key things I wasn't able to teach was that below 15 seconds you can no longer dash, and the dash depends on the direction you are moving (hold W to dash upwards). If it isn't working outside of these conditions, that's something I would definitely like to look into
Oh interesting, thank you for the feedback. I didn't consider making the blue orbs mathematically reachable, but that is definitely something I'll be looking into. As for the mold, it is kiiinda like an enemy! If you get caught inside of it as it grows, it'll wring the poor little slug guy out, and you'll be taking damage as it does. You can also slice through it with your sword!
Thanks a ton for the feedback! The dash itself needs some explaining (I didn't have time to give a tutorial), but it relies on the direction you are aiming. I put it in the description, but essentially if you hold W while doing the dash, you do indeed go pretty high up! As for a cooldown, it falls under the same umbrella (I reaaaallyy wish I had a tutorial), but once your timer falls bellow 15 seconds, you can no longer dash.
Thanks a ton for the genuine feedback! I'll be sure to write all of this down and learn from them <3
Hey thanks for the feedback! I do recall trying to implement a transition but in the end ran out of time, and I 1000% agree, my pinky just ends up cramping quite a bit
Pretty cool idea, can get tense trying to go down as fast as possible. Some auditory cues when you're getting hurt would be nice, I didn't realize I lost so much health for quite a bit
This is a VERY impressive project to have finished in just four days! The art looks great, the controls feel nice and snappy, and the generation is super neat, good job!
This is a pretty good representation of how many developers feel. So many ideas, to the point of analysis paralysis. I liked the story. I will say the movement felt a bit wonky, the FOV in sprinting made it feel like I should be going way faster than I actually was. Other than that, well done!
Hey, thanks for checking my game out!! The platforming was the one thing I took a lot of time to get as right as I possibly could, it's not perfect but it is what it is!
And thanks a ton for the feedback! I truly wish I could've built a tutorial, but I'm glad you were able to pick it up quick!
I remember seeing the progress posts on this game and just thinking "Holy that art is insane!" I'm so glad I am now able to play this! The sound design, the characters, the animations, and the gameplay all have careful consideration and make this game such a gem because of it. Good work to all of you!
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it!!!! That strategy is one among many, I've seen some people try to get rid of it before it grows, some hoard them to kill the birds, and some are strategic and hoard them until the time is right! Also nice score!
This game takes so much inspiration from BPM and I absolutely love it. Not only is it snappy and powerful like a shooter should be, but it's got me grooving as well!
I think this game could be suuuper fun, but some of the enemies are way too aggressive. I think it's a tad unfair that you can get shot from a room adjacent to an enemy before you even see them. Other than that, solid game!
A beautifully crafted game, made by what I could only assume some insanely talented and disciplined engineers, artists, musicians, and passionate writers. Thank you for making something so special, and an even bigger thank you for using your platform to highlight other developers! I'm excited to see what you all build next!
An amazing and incredibly unique idea, everything is counting down, the numers, the pogo, my life, my savings, my payments, EVERYTHING! Such a fun game, wish my score saved to the leaderboard </3
Going back, definitely a tutorial, theres the ability to dash up that I neglected to mention and a tutorial would have done wonders to explain. Thanks for playing!
Whoops yeah lol! I'm glad you liked the game and some of the sound design, the music was made by my amazing sister and sounds picked out by someone very dear to me <3
Thank you so much for the feedback and for playing my game! The spawning is definitely rough, going back I'd definitely rework the concept, and yeah the screenwrap is almost like a secret little feature considering I didn't have time to make a tutorial </3
Finally! I meant to comment yesterday but itch didn't let me >:L
This game is so insanely fun to just play, the controls feel snappy and being able to cancel your momentum to go in the opposite direction is icing on the cake. I will say it sometimes sucks to have all this momentum just to be stopped because of a sign in the way, it's like whiplash.
One of my favorite entries this game jam, it actually got me to play all the way through! It was a bit rough at first but I was able to pick it up and have some fun very quickly!
Thank you for the feedback! I did realize after the jam that I mostly just catered the controls to how I play, and the constant sprinting should def be the base speed rather than the sprint
