You did great job on designing this game, the mechanics feels different from any other platformers and it feels really special, the music and the graphics are great.
My only two comments would be that it is really hard and some times forces you to rage quit, the other thing is I don't feel the "Holes" theme at all in the game.
other than that great work!
Please try & rate our game it is also a platformer: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574177
First of all grats on beating the game, i'm glad you got into controls. Thank you for checking up on it.
I agree on graphics, character looks out of the picture. it's just my software of choice - dragonbones broke for some reason, so i had to use unity's animator and didn't had time to figure out how to pixelate animated character (probably with shader of some sorts), if i'll continue working on this project, that issue will be adressed for sure.
Now about meta-feedback, Sorry but i don't agree. Just because it's feedback and free, it doesn't mean it's always right nor i need to accept it "with grace" no less, that's recipe to ruin any kind of personality your game has right there. I accepted every feedback that i considered helpful, but i don't think you are right that i have to do that with all of feedback (Yours about how i deal with accepting feedback for example). All you can learn from some feedbacks is that some games aren't for some people, trying to dig deep into those kinds of feedbacks will make you mistakingly assume things and that's bad. So sometimes (most of the times) you have to accept feedback, but sometimes if feedback is wrong, you have to explain it to player, why it's wrong, where did they approached wrong and how to improve on that and there's high chance you can get secondary feedback from them which would be more valuable, that's what i think and yes - feedbacks absolutely can be wrong. Not all feedback is diamond in disguise same goes for games.
"Sometimes you will slide a short distance, while sometimes you slide long." - because all movement is working according to momentum - whereas without momentum character doesn't slide at all, you can build up it not only from last jump but from previous jumps aswell and solving of several puzzles heavily depend on that mechanic. Movements will work exactly how you want them to work as long as you keep that in mind and use throttle/acceleration accordingly to control momentum. Although if you haven't figured out how it works by playing it yourself, this particular game just might not be for you since i created it for very specific target audience in mind, afterall momentum based experimental style of movements are its core fun and figuring out it yourself is part of the experience, so if you didn't enjoyed that experience, that's okay, not every game is made for everyone. I also thought about adding tutorial but explaining every little detail about how the mechanic worked with tutorial would make all of the trial, error and discovery go away which i don't enjoy in such games. Movement is anything but uncontrollable, it's precision was one thing that was worked on with specific focus.
Thank you!
As for audio, glad you saw it that way. I wanted to create audio which would be charming and relaxing because game is so difficult and stressful itself it pushes you to ragequit, so music is there to balance out gameplay as much as possible.
