How does you game fit the theme?
Choosing a character doesn't affect the gameplay. But it does affect the story.
Experience the level with all 5 players - each of them controls a different character.
Watch how each of them plays on their own, and experience his own life story.
However, as you go through th game you find out they're all connected, and each one effects the other.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes!

Hey there!

It was a very fun game.
I really liked the graphics, they looked neat!
The controls were tricky but I managed to get through an entire level!
And level 2 seems to be the same level but a different story line.

Was it on purpose that Vlad's cigarette smoke particles cover up the entire playing field lol?

Well done for a jam game! :)

Thanks for playing and the positive comment!

Yes, it's on purpose that they cover up the screen, basically all 5 levels (not only the first 2) are the same platform-wise.

The difficulty (and the difference between the levels) comes from the story of the person who plays in the lower screen - which affects the platformer up top.

I see!

It's an interesting concept that there's always a person accompanying you and commenting, so that you're 'not alone', especially if it influences the game play.

Yeah that smoke particle is funny! That might actually be a fun idea also that you can jump on the smoke particles, maybe for another game.

Very interesting as a concept!

Really deep atmosphere, but the unpredictable controls really detracted from my enjoyment so much that I had to stop playing because I was getting very frustrated. It’s not that the game is difficult, the controls often feel unresponsive and overresponsive, it’s never just right. Have a look at this! https://gmtk.itch.io/platformer-toolkit

Hope you’ll adjust the controls so I can play the rest of the story!

Here’s also my play-through video… beware of frustrated gamer! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1585147542

Thank you for the feedback!

I appreciate the honest response and the advice for the toolkit, I'll have a look.

I'm working on the next game at the moment, but hopefully I'll get back to this and change the controls a bit, alot of people have found them quite frustrating.

Thanks again!

The combination of the unsettling music, color scheme, backstories and how they were directed synthesized a really engaging atmosphere, making this game really addictive! I had a really good time playing through this one.

Some issues I had were that the stories ended too abruptly (no conclusion or whatsoever), some graphic inconsistencies (some sprite assets were much more artistically complex/simpler than others + blurry UI) and that I didn't understand your explanation on the theme too well.

As some have stated, the controller was indeed very sensitive and imprecise, but since I actually enjoy trial and error games, especially when you get rewarded as you get past the segments (with the continuation of the story, in this case), I didn't see it as a bad thing.

Great work!

Developer

Thank you for the detailed feedback.

I'll take those into consideration in my next games, those are some very good points!

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Reading in my jumping? Or jumping in my reading? Anyway, nice project, though the last bit of the level is kinda hard. Would appreciate if you rate our game too!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :)

So addictive! I really like the art style and gameplay, I wish there was more levels! And that upand down going platform before checkpoint... My god. It took me more then 10 minutes jus for that

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 

And yeah I do agree it could've been slightly easier :)
