The transition between levels is amazing!
Thank you! The Doppler effect is strong in this one.
At the start i was a bit confused but after i started running and getting momentum i was unstoppable, or at least i thought that, then i realized that i was hitting every hazard in the level and that my hp was very low, tried to be a bit more careful, but wasn't enough, i already was too low of health.
Those graphics look really smooth and awesome, great game, nice work!!
Thanks men, really cool reply :)
Nice game, although i dont think you should restart from the very start when you die, maybe just att the beginning at a new level. The background is also very nice!
Feel free to also rate my game : https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/475557
Hey thank you. It is possible to skip levels. while in the level, press escape for pause menu, then press skip. ;)
Oh, Guess imma go beat the game now ;P
Whahaha, nice.
Hi, I really liked your game, but I think you should be careful with the sounds and musics, they are pretty well made, but can be really annoying sometimes. I also had a bug that all the sprite renderes were wrong, but I just F5 the page and everything was alright again. Well done
Hey Napalion, thanks for trying that. We already have the fix so when the review period is done, we put it on here! :)
Okay, good luck on that
Fun game, I think the way the music switches is clever. A bit stressful when music goes crazy. I like the concept.
Hey how cool, I remember your game and now you came to rate ours, really nice!
Thank you, In a more final version, maybe it's good to keep the intense music only for endbosses ;)
:) I like your idea and it works because the music is randomized anytime in the level. I think this worked well with the theme. Great work!
Hi there, I really want to thank everybody that played and rated the game. Thanks to you we now have the required number of ratings! So again, thanks everybody!
I really like the background. Sounds are a little hard on the ears - especially button click :D The game is quite fun to play.
If you have some time come and see our game: https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/475756 :)
Haha, yeah some of the sounds are harsh. What about the sound when you die, the flatline, super annoying. Thanks for the feedback and compliments :)
I enjoyed :)
Thanks man :)
This was fun! I kept dying so I decided to cheat but I wasn't able to move/jump once I did that. i liked the music too.
thanks! After the rating period is over we will update the game with a bugfix for that.
I was first confuse if it's was a 2D game or a 3D game haha. You have nice graphics, were you created a lot of depht. That is quite impressive knowing you only had 1 week. Good job !
Carefull with the color language. You put the potion white, wich are object to grab, and the ennemies white too, wich was very confusing. Or is it your lie?...
Audio is good as well.
My main complain is that you made the player start from scratch when he die, even when we reach upper levels. I didn't had the courage to redo the whole first level to get back were I was...
Hey super cool feedback men, Yeah the starting over from the beginning is a drag (you can press escape and cheat though ;)
In the pause menu, there is an option to skip every level :)
Cool game, I liked the feel of the controls for the character. Also the background was pretty neat.
Thanks. It took some time but it worked out well in the end
it is very funny. Good job.
Thanks :)
Love the mix of 2D and 3D. The mechanic where the more you shoot the smaller you (and your bullets) get was clever as well. Only problem I found was that some of the bouncing enemies were slightly hard to hit sometimes. But it was a good challenge!
Thank you! With the smaller Blob you also apply less damage.
A fun and well made platform game. Love the music and visual style. I believe I got a bug where two levels loaded at the same time. overall a great jam game.
Hey thanks for the compliments. Yes we found and fixed the bug, but for the next two weeks we're not allowed to update. After that though ;)
Cool how you made it look 3D, you sure had me fooled. Though, the music is a bit repetitive. I also couldn't make the jump pictured below. I think it's pretty early in the level.
The idea here is to do a wall jump so you move to the wall on the right and keep jumping while pressing the right arrow key
Thanks, yeah we could have explained that better. With double right or double left you can do a sprint, and then it is possible ;)
Nice game - like the way you made a 2d game feel 3d :)
Thanks :)
Liked how you mixed 2d with 3d . Looks really cool! The music is so good I can see myself listening to it while doing my homework. Overall a nice game.
Thank you - good to hear!
This gamejam was a good moment to experiment with the 2d/3d layering. We are happy with the result and think we could take it further on a next project.
I like being able to see all of the flat levels beyond yourself in the distance. That's really cool! The music is charming. The wall jumping mechanic is well tuned. Great entry!
Hi Binary Bedlam, thanks for the compliments,
We really put some work into that :)
A and D to move with CTRL to shoot is a really awkward control scheme. The bright green with the various colours of text was also hard to look at but inside the game looked much nicer.
Maybe I just didn't get far enough in but I didn't really pick up on the theme here.
Hi Walrusware, Thanks for the feedback. It is also possible to use the arrow keys.
Ahh ok I tried that and it didn't work, and I also had some 'sticking' witj WASD at times.
