This game for me was not too intuitive but I think it could have been really cool. Some of the text was overlapping a lot to make it unreadable at the top, which maybe would have explained to me what to do in the level. The premise was good and the intro was cool. Maybe Im just bad at platformers :)

Developer

Thanks for playing the game… :)

Can you please provide a screenshot of the text overlapping…. I can’t see it in any level… Did it happen on the webgl build or the download one???

Submitted

sure, here you go- its the webgl version

Developer

Thanks a lot…. Figured it out…. I had Constant Pixel Size in UI Scale mode… Changed it to Scale with Screen Size…. and now it’s fixed… Will soon upload the fixed version…. :)

I like that each level had a theme or gimmick to complete it.  That being said, some of them were too hard (Fly, you fools).  I loved the robot character and its animation and sound effects.  Good entry!

Developer

Thank you for playing and the nice comments!

Pretty good game concept however the player controls pretty awkwardly. Good job though!

Really cool how you made each level different from the last. The platform controlling one didn't work for me for some reason but otherwise a cool idea.

Great game, I really enjoyed it!

I loved how much variation you could put in a single level. That was just amazing! I really really hated your "Fly you fools" levels :D. Hasn't flappy birds ruined enough lives already?!?! Hahaha! But that was some really creative thinking. My favourite level was "Welcome to Australia" That just made me go LOL! Thanks for this amazing game. Loved the innovation here. Btw, your character can still move after dying (not jump, just left and right). I know its a game jam. That thing took hours to fix in my game as well and I didn't have half the levels you guys had. Thanks for this amazing game!!

Please consider playing and rating my game too. I would really appreciate it!! Thanks!!!

I like the concept! It's a really cool idea, but the robot feels a little weird to control. And the text and menus could use some more contrast so they're clearer and stand out more

Submitted

Love the theme, it's got a really cool vibe to it, the robot feels a little slippery but it feels intentional, and the text overlapping seems bugged out but again seems like a glitchy interface on purpose. It's pretty cool! Great work, feel free to check out my game if you get a chance :) https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-3/rate/900058

Your game is really annoying, and maybe that was your intention, if so... Good work!

For real, music is great, and the death animation is pretty cool as well

Submitted

cool game but hard to move the player

Great game, but the text color in the start needs improvement!  try different colors or reduce the number of colors in one letter, also use different fonts!, Other than that i like the music! And art is pretty good! Great job!

You've got a pretty neat idea here - I like the concept of things constantly switching for new experiences on every level, even with the same level, but the execution should've been a lot better. Physics aren't where they need to be, which makes the game feel a lot more stiff. The platforming sections are fine, but the Flappy Bird sections are extremely inconsistent and really not fun to play. I do appreciate the graphics and audio in this game - they're pretty neat. I think that the idea is great, and kudos to you all for your work, but make sure to focus a little more on making the game feel great as well and I'm sure you'll have a great game on your hands!

Nice game...but the flying mechanic needs improvement...it's just way too difficult to control...it took me some time to figure why I was replaying the first level over and over...until I've figured that the gimmics change in the same level...which is a really cool idea...

Submitted

Very nice death animation but only first 500 times :-) Interesting idea, good flipped gravity and bigger robot. Flappy bird mechanic need rework, it is very inconsistent. Nice character and level design. Well done!

Submitted

I loved each level Very original. The sprites of the robot are really good, especially the dying animation. The music represents each part of the game in a good way too. The level where you had to fly was the hardest for me, I expected it to work like a flappy bird but it was different. Good job on the game!

Well that was a experience. I have died a lot :D Diffrent mechanics made the game fresh while playing. My feedback would be that becouse you die a lot in this game the music should continue when you die otherwise you listen the start of the song everytime which is annoying. Also when dying the charcter should not get input from the player :d 

Other than these i think it was a pretty fun experience. Overall great work keep it up :D

Note:I would be happy if you could check out my game as well :d

Developer

(music guy here) I agree! the music was implemented last second so we didn't have time to talk about the importance of not destroying it when the new scene is loaded.... definitely gotta leave more time for that next time. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

This was very hard for me but it has a great concept! I played it live on my Stream, maybe you want to check that out!

Thanks a lot man… :) Will try to incorporate some difficulty level into the settings… Thanks for the feedback and playing it on your stream… :)

This game is very cruel! I died A LOT! Haha! Overall, good work on the game!

Give my game a look when you get a chance, please.

The flappy bird mechanic was cool, but I didn't get introduced to that mechanic at all. I didn't know for example, that I die from regular blocks upon touching them, while in flappy bird mode. The game ideas are great, but you need to introduce these ideas to the player, so players don't get confused :)

Very cool game! Love how you use multiple mechanics in the same level layout, the art is cool and music is very nice. I really like the opening, set the tone of the game in a very unique way!

Overall very good game! Nice job!

Developer

Thanks a lot… Glad that you loved it :)
