I think the movement is a bit hard to control and could use a bit of tweeking, but otherwise this was a pretty good game to play. I really like how polished the menu system is, especially with how it moves around as your mouse moves. The camera shake in the game is also a nice touch. Definitely could use some sound though! Please consider giving my game a try too :)

The low-poly style is very good. The mouse sensitivity was a bit too high for my taste, also the jumping mechanics are a bit too difficult but it is still playable, Nice work.

Submitted

Controls were difficult, the mouse was extremely difficult because it would be so easy to flip the camera over itself.

Interesting game and concept,. But I didn't get the controls much.Overall Good attempt.

Submitted

Simple and Unique concept!

the game is nice , but the mechanics could be better, maybe implement some kind of momentum. 

and maybe make the game 3rd person..

but overall the game is great :)

it would be great if you can checkout our game and give us a rate :)

So good. Flat poly style is cute and the game is just enjoyable. Nice :D

So my relationship with this game goes like "HATE" -> "LOVE" -> "HATE".

I am gonna give the reasoning for that. So the game starts, I see I am on this train of platforms that are heading somewhere. And there some collisions which I see cause you to jump from platform to platform. So I HOP my way to safety for this level.  Levels go on, complexity increases. A lot of deaths. The momentum system doesn't help. The first-person view that doesn't allow you to see where your feet are landing doesn't help. The fact that there aren't any extra frames (a few few frames after you leave a platform but jumping is still enabled) to allow for better jumping doesn't help, leading to moments where I simply run OFF the platform.

I reach a level where platforms are going LEFT and RIGHT, like a street, you know. I am like this is too much for short hopping. What if I try to simply skip the next platform and try to jump onto the one that is already there ie the one in next to next lane. I hold shift and hold space, and instead of a hop, it was a HULK JUMP. See, this was not written anywhere, and I psuedo realistic styled first person view did not prime me to expect such a long jump thing. So I jumped long, and I was soaring over so many platforms. It changed the whole gameplay, for the BETTER.

UNTIL, I reached that level with portals in the corner that you have to jump into, and they throw you onto other platforms. See, the issue is, a lot of these portals do not seem to be placed high enough, that if the platform moves out of the way you don't have time to adjust your trajectory. The first portal-OUT is especially low. And after some 40 or so attempts I think, I was like, I quit.

See, if this game didn't frustrate the hell out of me a few times na, I would have said that this is a topclass showcase worthy game. But right now, it is just a decent game, as the negatives of the bad experiences weigh too heavily against it's positives. This one needs some more playtesting. Doing so and improving it will make it masterclass stuff.

Good luck.

I like the graphics! Controls are definitely a bit floaty, made it hard to jump from one platform to the next, but with a little more polish this could really be something special!

Submitted

Good start, gives me a feeling like i'd be jumping on the roof of a train or something. The controls could be refined a bit as it was possible to spin the camera vertically as you please, which made the control bit weird sometimes.

Submitted

Good game but need a bit more of polishing. I think you need to patch the controls, I can rotate the camera so that i look switch the up/down view.

But overall a good work :)

Submitted

That was fun! Creative level design and lots of good physics at work. Nice job!

Submitted

levels are awesomely designed,overall nice gameplay 😁

I really enjoyed the game! I loved your use of the blocks in the ground as environmental design.  The controls felt a bit clunky at first, but after I died  a couple times, I quickly got the hang of it!

The design of the levels was quite nice.  It was challenging and got more and more so, but not too hard to where I couldn't complete it. 

Awesome submission.
