Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code was written by the team from scratch.
In addition all assets apart from the background music were made from scratch aswell.

You have good concept and am looking forward for when the game will be updated......

The controls are hard and I really had a hard time figuring out near the first jump....

Submitted

Good effort - very eye catching art style. I did manage to complete the level without using the other character which I don't imagine was intended but it was cool anyway!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!! We did plan to have more stuff for the characters to help each other through but we didn't manage to get that in sadly.

Having a Hard time just to get over the First Obstacle. Stopped playing because of Frustration.

The Game needs more Work so it will make Fun.

Concept nice, Implementation ......... mhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Anyway it think its always a good Experience and Practice to try new Stuff and working with others together.

Keep Up the Work and reach for more!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. This was my first attempt at writing a custom player controller so even though it wasn't brilliant the experience was definitely worth it. Thanks for playing I'm already working on making the experience better and easier to play along with my team who are adding in animations!

Thats Awesome. I gonna Follow and once you Update the Game i gonna Try it Again!

Submitted

Quite confused, to jump need to press simultaneously two buttons

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I've modified the character controller so that movement in air is enabled. With this you should be able to jump more easily!! You won't see this change implemented though till after the rating period has ended.

Submitted

I like the main characters art, they are nice

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!!

Submitted

I like it, its good really really well done! scenery looks great! Well done! I like it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback. I hope you check back after the rating period is done as we plan to update it to make it a bit easier to play and to have more stuff to it!!

Submitted

Will do!

Submitted

Not bad bro, but the controlls are a bit laggy. The musik sounds very nice!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm doing some modifications to the player controller to hopefully make it less of a hassle. Thanks for playing!!

Submitted

Hey! I thought that you had the beginnings of a really good game here!

What I liked:

  • I think the game design concept is really good and meshes with the theme really well.
  • I liked the set pieces and the character design for the game!

Think to Improve:

  • I think that some more time could be spent getting the game mechanics down. I had issues with the platforming it feels like its fighting against the player which makes the game less fun imo.

I'd love if you could check out my game when you get the chance: https://cthemess.itch.io/find-my-way-home

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. The player controller was definitely one of the biggest issues with this game. We're working on updating it to make it easier to control and have a bit more responsiveness.

Submitted

Interesting idea, but it's unfinished in a lot of frustrating ways.

Developer(+1)

It was very quickly put together so we didn't manage to do what we wanted to but it was fun to do none the less and was a good experience for all of us on the team. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I like the concept of this game. The sound design was great. Maybe change the jump, so you can jump over an edge easier, because now if you hit an edge the charcter goes straight up.

Developer

I didn't think about that really.  Thanks for the feedback, it was helpfull.

Submitted

This seems like it needs a lot of work but the idea could work well. Several people already mentioned the air control. I would also make the jump a little less floaty (increase gravity values) and move the camera back a little bit (the characters jump very high, so it becomes hard to see things with the camera this close). If you can build levels in such a way that the characters really need to help each other to reach the end, this could be a really good game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely increase gravity a bit when I update the game.  The camera was a bit hard to get right in the first place so I'll have to experiment with that. Thanks again for your feedback though that's quite helpfull.

Submitted

a nice game but a few bugs

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I go through the game separately...

But the artwork and the movement of the charactor is cute.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! The game is very unfinished. We were originally planning to have the characters have to help each other through the map but we were a bit too ambitious with what we wanted to do so didn't manage to get it working in time. We plan to update it though after the rating period ends so be sure to check back!!

Submitted

bugs a lot, managed to complete it with no spacebar

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We plan to add more features in that will require you to switch character to get to the end so be sure to check back after the rating period is over 

Submitted

Nice game, movement needs some work. I kept on pressing space to jump which switched my character and then I died. Also, when you swap character there is a bit of delay which isn't great. Another thing is you should be able to move in the air. Interesting game though, well done!

Developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback! I'll make the swap delay shorter and I'll change the key to swap characters to something else like maybe 'q' or 'e' because I want to try and keep all the controls close together and easy to access with one hand.

Submitted

Wow what a fun game, really enjoyed my playthrough!

The only thing I can say is make the reload on death a bit quicker as I want to get back into the game as soon as, otherwise loved the game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. We'll be sure to include a reduced game over scene time in the update after the jam ends!

Submitted

I really like your concept of the game! Getting together to a certain place. Also the art of the character and the background/tiles are amazing. A lot of detail in the work. Keep it up!

I suggest to that you make your 2 characters diffrent in the way they move or let one player start from the right and the other one start from the left side of the map so they meet each other in the middle because right now it is like you have to move through your parcour two times the same way what makes the playstyle a bit one-sided. Also if you jump with the player you are not able to control it in the air what leads into difficulties on certain challenges in your map or if you collide with an edge of a tile then you are just stuck and drop down again. If you improve that I think this is an amazing game.

Good Job!

Developer(+1)

Ye the movement in air stuff was a bit messy. I can easily reenable that though as we were originally gonna have it so at certain points you couldn't move in the air with certain stuff and then reenable it. So we do have a simple boolean we could reenable the  movement in air. I'll be sure to do that in an update after the jam rating period ends.

Submitted

The movement script needs a lot of work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Is there anything specific you'd like to see from it? I know the movement in air was an issue for a few other people and I'm going to enable movement in air in the first update after the rating period ends.

Submitted

There is a lot to do! Next time maybe pick something more simple. Better simple and finished than big and unfinished. Hope you had fun making this game!

Developer

Yes I agree really. We were quite ambitious with our idea and that left it a bit unfinished. I had fun making this game though and I'd say it's been a good experience for me as this was my first time coding a completely custom character controller (I was the programmer in the team for this jam).

Submitted

There is room for improvement. 🙂

Developer

Is there anything specific you'd like to see? I will try to improve it as best I can as I plan to continue working on this after the rating period is up. I'm definitely gonna be updating the movement in air straight away.
