The upgrades really added so much depth to the game. On my first playthrough I didn't get the dash so I was just using the super jump but on my second playthrough I decided to take it and saw that you could get a invincibility with and combined that with the super jump to go through the saws. to final beat the game.
I really liked this game, the character, and the shotgun, but I did get stuck on what had to be the hardest part (the section after you have to shoot down the trash can) of the game and started shooting upwards and I may have shoot myself through the floor. Other then the that this game was great!
Making minigames for a game jam is pretty ambitious but you have managed to not only do but do it with great presentation and with a great integration with the theme.
I really liked this game but dying felt very punishing. Since every level did not have a checkpoint once you started it you would have to redo any puzzles that you already did which isn't that fun.
I think I have an idea for dealing with text size might be able to make it into a type of command or setting the player could enter. I can definitely see cutting the "next" input for text like the ones that lead to the next question. I could do some sort of auto system so the dialog wouldn't be to much text if you decide to skip it.
I was thinking about doing ASCII art but I had no idea where I would start with it. But now that the jam is done it's something that I'm adding to the list of things I want to do.
I normal don't like these types of games but I think the lil' worm and your amazing trailer made not get angry. While I only got to like 20% I had fun while I played it. Also great job at making a game design document!
From the games that I played so far during this jam this is one of the best interpretation of the theme from a platformer. I loved the how your momentum stayed throughout resets, it really reminded me of Portal. This is a concept that really could be expanded!
This game has incredible polish and the movement did feel great. Though I wished the final level had you use all the mechanics together for the race as only dashing is kinda boring.
