Ranked from 20 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does you game fit the theme?
The user has an ability to swap between the true sight where he sees the true world, if he don't uses it he often see fake tiles and don't see the real one. So some things arent real and some are invisible.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I made everything from scratch except of the backgroundmusic, Cave-music. This sounds were made by my friend. I also took the footstep sound and the coin sound from the Internet. This sound were free use without any conditions.

That's a really great game ! It's pretty hard to go for all the coins and chickens with the very limited amount of "real things vision", but that's a great idea !

I would have personally added the fact that the coins give back some of that vision ! That would push players to go for the coins even more :)

Nice job !

The EPIC adventures of Skeletrox

Pixel Myth StudiosSubmitted2 years ago

Cool game! This is pretty good for a first upload. The platforming felt solid, and I liked the idea of using hidden spaces to find collectibles. The main thing I would advise changing about it is to add a more in-depth set of controls/directions (maybe even add a brief tutorial), so that players would have a better idea of the goal of the game. Still, way to go on this one. Best of luck for future games!

But it's a little bit rude for the chickens xD Thank you!

Love the graphics, remind me a little bit of fez! I managed to save 1 chicken and gather 3 coins in the end.

The fact that your power to see the true world runs out in 25 seconds and cannot be recharged (or at least; couldnt find a way) is pretty interesting. It motivates the player to remember where things are, or to very quickly toggle the true-world-vision. Cool! But it can also be frustrating when it completely ran out. Maybe replaying the game could be motivated, so the player can learn from burning 15 seconds on the first coin? That could be achieved by making a game resets really easy, e.g. recommending that the moment your time runs out the first time?

Thanks for building this game :D

Motivated Reasoning

PokemaxiDeveloper2 years ago

Thank you for your comment! I really appreciate that you have finished my game! Maybe I could add an option of better resetting but i thought the if you go back to the mnenu trough escape and play will be enough. About refilling the true vision is also a nice idea!

Morning Calls (Itch Edition)

PokemaxiDeveloper2 years ago

Thank you for your comment! Yeah i dindt thought about implementing an refilloption.

ThatANonoWordSubmitted3 years ago

The idea is interesting! Spread-out coins to collect is very fun, and saving chickens become an interesting challenge. The potion being completely limited is kind of a bummer. There's no clear end goal, so you never know when to stop using. There's also no audio at all. Overall, solid game!

That's No Ghost!

PokemaxiDeveloper3 years ago(+1)

Thank you for your comment. The goal is to complette the level. I got some sound and music but its probably very silent on your pc.

PotatoNetoSubmitted3 years ago

I actually didn't know what to do, the music was find though and I liked the pixel style art.

You can try my game now :)

Its just a Platformer where you have to go to the right and on the way you have to collect some coins. You can also pickup some chickens and drop them at the end.

GabrielNic31Submitted3 years ago

I don't know what I have to do when my bar it's in 0 and I don't know what is the function of the chicken.

Anyways.

I like the graphics and the relaxing music. Great game! :D

Submitted

PokemaxiDeveloper3 years ago

Thank you for the comment! I didnt implement anytink to reload it. Maybe I should let it refill automtacly or when you pickup a new chicken.

ba7opSubmitted3 years ago

Hey

I like the game and specially the music :)

I did have some trouble understanding the game, I had to read the description on the page and then I was good.

I think it would be more intuitive to jump with the space bar. I of course realized it was the W key, but I had trouble jumping because I was expecting to keep jumping if pressed (I'm used to leave the W pressed on most games) where as with SPACE BAR I think that wouldn't have happened to me,

Is there a way to reload the true sight? I couldn't find one.

Congrats on making your game :)

Social Induced Insomnia

PokemaxiDeveloper3 years ago

Thank you for your long comment! I didnt have any idea how to make the controls more understandable.

I realized it after the deadline that it was a big mistake to put jump on W instead on Space.

I didnt implement any reload. Did not think about it that the player will need it.

Thank you ! :)

ShellcialSubmitted3 years ago

clear the game and well done. I didn't realize the T button and that icon means the swap ability at my first try, I guess maybe the icon design can be changed to something else so that player can associate it to swapping more easily? just a tiny thought.

Submitted

PokemaxiDeveloper3 years ago

thank you for the idea. maybe i should just use some glasses as an icon. i dindt know how to make it clear to the player with the swapping.
