Love this game. I love platformers and your slime is very cute. I think the system of “Trust” “Don’t trust” to select a path is very smart.

cool game, though to be honest I suck at platformers :-(   I wish I didn't!  PS.  Our team is in a need of more ratings, can you please help us?  https://itch.io/jam/benbonk-game-jam-1/rate/660058, download binaries from: https://aigua1977.itch.io/onthecase-binaries

PS.  The windows version of our game got accidentally overwritten by the mac version, and it was broken since Thursday night until Saturday afternoon.  It is fine now, so please try it again if this is your platform.

Loved the game was a total blast! great use of the sounds and music too! (could u check my game whenever you're free?)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback.  It makes me so happy to see good reviews and smart ideas for improving my game.  I checked out your game and I love your 3d platformer effect! (It was also on a BenBonk Livestream!)

All round nice game, meets the theme pretty well. I found a small bug were if you die and immediately walk into spikes the spikes don't hurt you.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I noticed that.  I decided to try not to fix it for the game jam so If someone get's stuck spawning in/by a spike they won't be in an infinite death loop.  But that'll totally fixed when I work on improving it more (after the game jam ends.)

The art was nice and the concept was good, but some of the jumps felt a bit unfair! Still good though!

This was a fun platformer!  The controls felt good, and the sprite art and menus looked great! I liked the jump sound :D Great Idea for the them too!  Rated~ Good job submitting a game to the jam.  please check my game out (it's a bit buggy lol)

My only suggestion is maybe a screen on the menu to see how many endings you have, but overall i loved it

Developer(+1)

Very true.  I was planning to do it but I ended up messing up some code and had to fix the endings an hour before the voting began so I couldn't implement it.  But that is high on my list of things to end (PS, I had trophy sprites for each ending but ran out of time to add them all in so I just have a compilation of them all in the ending. Try to guess which trophy probably goes to which ending.)

Really nice platformer. It was pretty tough once you got a few levels in. Nice progression of difficulty. Could have used music or more sound. The restart animation looked a little weird for a slime. I didnt quite understand if there was more to trusting or not trusting, or if it just affected the ending. Overall, I really enjoyed playing it!

Developer

My plan for the game was to have a decision in each level which would affect your ability to get the good, bad or secret ending but because of time constraints I had to slim down on it (a lot.)  I do agree with you for the music and sound and like always I ran out of time to add all the sound assets in.  Thanks for the feedback on the restart animation,  I was trying to make it look like wings (fun note,  the sprites during the respawn animation was originally for the jump animation and the jump sprites were for the death animation.)  But I can see why it is difficult to tell.  I will clarify that better (or replace it) in my next update for the game.

Fairly simple game, but I still enjoyed it. Music is alright, graphics are great, the main issue I have with it is the game feel. 

Developer

Thanks for the notice.  I want to improve this later so knowing that game feel needs to be focused on is great!

I like the slime! So cute. The second level (I went up from the first level) was really hard, though, the spike hitboxes were a little large for the character, I think. But it's a cute slime with nice animations :)

Developer

I know.  I die the most when testing that level.  But it is possible.  Speaking of Spikes.  I wanted to make some spikes not hurt the player (fake spikes) but I ended up not having enough time for it.
