this was really fun. I could see this as a mobile game for sure if you made more levels! Also the screen-wrapping fit the idea of the game perfectly.
Thank you!
Had a lot of fun playing this game! Really liked the level designs and how the screen was a loop. Also, the art was very great.
Thank you!
A really well polished game! Big probs for making it! Had a lot of fun. Also like the whole idea of going to the other side by going off screen :D Well done. Hope you try mine too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/722968
Thank you! I checked out your game, its really great!
A very polished game making use of clever mechanics
Thank you! Your game was incredibly creative!
Great game!!! The controls are great, super smooth!! Had a good time playing it
Thanks, I loved your game too!
Really cool game! The movement was very responsive and it felt smooth. Loved the art. :)
Thank you very much!
That was a lot of fun! I really like how you can teleport to the other side of the level by going off the screen! I just wish it was a bit more clear on how to do that since it took me a while to figure out. But the game design is really good and interesting. Nice work!
Thank you! I really couldn't decide how to word it in the tutorial, and I don't think I settled on a very good solution. Luckily it seems most people have figured it out!
Man I was going crazy trying to figure out how to get on that first platform until I went off the screen by accident lol. Nice job. The controls are nice and the soundfx's line up nicely. I like how rewind is your enemy it seems. I think there might have been a bug in the level with the clouds? I hit the first cloud from below and destroyed it and had no way to get up or reset the level.
Actually that was intended, if you press r it resets the level. That and the screen wrapping was all explained in the tutorial, maybe it should have been in the first level though. Thanks for playing!
Ohh tutorial!! I completely missed/skipped that :p Yeah make that the first level for us lazy people haha.
Thanks for the feedback!
Very Fun!
Thank you!
Amazingly fun for a simple concept. You nailed the character controller (responsiveness - most important thing in platformers) and the level design was creative. The death blocks could be highlighted more and you could make use of the theme more in various ways :)
Thank you! I definitely agree with everything you said; I'll keep that in mind for the future!
Visuals and gameplay were a lot of fun- felt like something I'd love to see on like a cool app sort of experience.
Thank you!
I think I'm bad at this game or my laptop is lagging haha, I couldn't get passes the 2nd room haha.(I bounced on the mushroom but couldn't reach the wall to wall jump) Also that is a huge jump for a first room~ perhaps make the first few levels a bit easier so the player can get more into the game. The movement does feel awesome! Great controls for sure~ and the pixel art is awesome! Keep it up! Please check out my game if you haven't :D
On the second room you're supposed to bounce on the mushroom, then go off the edge of the screen and land on the platform. It's impossible to reach that wall. That was definitely too hard for a second level, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, I'll try your game too.
Very Nice Man, i like the visual and game design os fun, rate my game too ;)
Thank you, I'll check your game out!
I like how you have to think out of the box for this one. That and the platforming feels great.
I didn't fully understand the purpose of the rewind though. Is it just there to be avoided? If so, it could be fleshed out even more in my opinion.
------------------------------------------------
Do you like games that make you rage? try my game it will be worth your time.
Yeah the rewind definitely could have had a more major role, but thank you! I'll check your game out.
i like how the game looks and feels.Good job!
*Maybe you would also like to try and maybe rate my submission*
Thanks! I'll check your game out.
cute graphics! solid platformer controls, good sound design. nicely polished up. but doesn't really use the theme.
good job!
Thank you!
cool game nice mechanics i like it
Thank you!
The jumping felt laggy/unresponsive sometimes, may be webgl fault.
Interesting little game, very punishing level design, I like it :D
Thank you! I never noticed any lag, so it might be the webs fault. It could also be the game though, not sure.
It is a very nice game. Love the mechanics and feel of it. Even thou it does not quite fit the theme it is really worth to try out and experience. Nice job!!!
Thank you! I definitely loved the experience and will be competing in more game jams in the future!
Doesn't really use the main theme as it was already pointed out by others, but the main mechanics are really solid and are fun to play. You can consider turning this into a mobile phone game, good job!
Thanks, this was my first jam so I had the mentality of "make a game, fit the theme in later", but next jam I'll definitely just build my game around the theme from the start.
