In what way does your game fit the theme?
You have to acquire a DVD rewinder and then run back to the start of the level (rewind progress) to finish.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote 99% of the code myself, the assets are free assets from the Unity Store.

Nice graphics and animation. Could use some polish on the menu / menu interactions. Good  job.

Could you please play and rate my game as well?

The game was good, but there were a few bugs, like sometimes the spikes don't do damage, and the UI could be scaled a bit better but the theme could be a bit better but it was a nice game.

The game looked great and ambience was sweet. However there were a few bugs. It looks like it has a lot of potential! (If your wondering: you can freeze when running into a wall and some spikes don't do damage at first). I enjoyed hopping around tho

The Good:

  • Good art and animation
  • Challenging platforming
  • Signs marked dead ends - lets player know they are going the wrong way

Could Improve:

  • Add more sounds - adds feedback to the game. Right now the game feels very void (especially with the music). There could also be a hurt sound that plays when the player touches spikes
  • Learn to scale your UI and game - even when I clicked fullscreen, some parts of the game were chopped off and the camera was zoomed in. I can see you're using Unity, I recommend you change your canvas scaler from "constant pixel size" to "scale with screen size". This should help you a little
  • Weak implementation of the theme - only the vague idea of the theme was there

Overall:

Well done on the game. The theme for this jam was hard, and I understand that it was hard to create a game around it. I recommend you take what you learned from this game and use it to make an even more awesome one in the future.

Edit - for some reason my comment got posted 3 times, sorry if you got a lot of notifications.

I'm gonna be honest. The game makes some crucial mistakes. For example there is no feedback for the player. When I get hit by the spikes I would like to know that. Also the game is really short and the assets seem to be plopped together. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating. I just want to point out some things that may be improved upon in your future games. Cheers :)

I really enjoyed playing this game and would love to see it expanded , i think the take on the theme was good but could definitely use more work. i think you could have also added a way to show the players health as it was really hard to tell if the spiked did damage or how much damage they did, the graphics where good but it would have been nice to see a background of some sort and also would have been cool if there were other obstacles like enemies to make the level more interesting and challenging

Submitted

I like the concept, but the spikes don't work and the graphics, even though they are very nice, don't really fit the theme that well. Also, the collisions on the spikes did not seem to be working. Still a fun game though!

Submitted

The animation and the character design are nice! The controls are smooth. Maybe you can adjust a little the jump only. Congratulations for the game, it's very, very nice!

Submitted

Hi, Like the main character  animation.. you can improve the background to have more atmosphere.. I notice that the collision with the wood sticks not always work well. 


My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match , Thanks

Developer

I noticed after it was too late that the colliders on the spikes were too wide and causing issues. Thanks for playing. I rated your game back.

Submitted

Cool character and animation :) The controls were very smooth too. Needs to be longer though, definitely would've played more!

Thank you, It was my first gamejam and i didn't know how long the games should be. I know now for next time. I rated your game back.

Submitted

Interesting game! I like the character and animation! I feel that maybe the jump is a little too high, and maybe a background could help a lot! Also the game could be longer.

Good job though!

Submitted

Its alright. Few notes:
1) Some feedback about taking damage would really help. It took me a while to understand that i took damage from signs
2) Background other than solid gray could help bringing some atmosphere

Developer

The signs don't damage you, i think i put the spikes too close to the sign and the collider was touching. Thanks for the feedback, i rated your game back.

Submitted

The platforming mechanics could have been a little bit easier. I noticed that you must jump from the very edge of the platform to reach the next one. I kept falling down and had to play the whole thing again. But otherwise , the art style is nice and the controls feel responsive. Nice Work.

I'll remember that for next time. Thanks for the feedback. I rated your game back.

It was fun playing your platform game! Cool levels~ If you want more people to play, you should at least have a cover image for your game. But it's also good to have GIFs and screen shots. Plus decorating your game page makes people have a good first impression. Awesome job submitting a game to this jam and I hope you improved your game making skills. If you have time, please check out my game :D

I added an image. Thanks for the feedback. I rated your game back.
