I really like your game a lot. The music and art are well are also really nice. The idea of using virus to match the game jam theme was good but wasn't strong enough. I still really liked the game. If you have the time please also check out my game.

The chip looking platform bugged me, I thought it was some kind of a spiky platform...

Overall a very nice game, liked it, do consider playing my game too!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I will keep in mind improving the design

Submitted

Fun little game! The pixel art was nice, and the music was pretty good. I haven't seen this spring-jump mechanic in the jam yet, but I kinda liked it! The problem that I see is that the connection with the theme is a little poor, but other than that it's fine, nice game!

Submitted

Pretty cool game! the way you jump is very cool and it adds interest to the game. The enemy's are cool too and makes the game even more challenging in a good way.  The  Music was very good to but when put on loop it became kind of annoying , so I would extend the song. But other than that is is a really interesting game.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I am sorry abou the music i didnt finshed the music before the deadline so i have putted a short loop sorryyy😅

Submitted

Nice game! I really like that pixel art. Also, the jump mechanic is pretty unique.

Submitted

Pretty cool. I like the spring jump mechanic. I'm not exactly sure how it goes with the Jam's theme though. The audio was good. 

Developer

the game is about the big lie that called internet.

I am sure that probably everyone have downloaded a cracked software or game and foud out that this is a virus...

and that is what actually happening in the game!

And thanks for playing!!

Submitted

This was actually a pretty fun little game! I ended up playing through it a couple of times my high score was 400 something. Good job!

Glad you've enjoyed

And thanks for playing!

The jump mechanic was really different and it took me a while to get used to it. I felt like sometimes the level was really hard like the first two times where I had the firewall chasing me and the fire barrier to jump through after two platforms so I got like 15 points, the third run I got 450 like points because the level was extremely esasier. Sometimes it seemed to me that I was hit by the flying ships but I took no damage. 

I liked the mix between a platformer and an arcade shooter, I think it is an interesting idea to develop more.

The concept of being a virus inside a computer is cool but the theme of the jam was resolved in the first screen of the game and never used after that. If you revealed that you are the virus later on in the game it would have been more effective.

The music had a cool retro vibe to it but the loop was extremely short and didn't loop seamlesly.

Good job overall!

Thanks for the honest feedback!

yeah i am aware of all the problems you have mentioned, i tried to fix everything and make longer music but i am not an expert in audio just to find the right program took me one day about the jump i and some of my friends got used to it pretty fast so i left it as it about the levels they are generated randomlly so i think that is the reason and about the flying ships i found it very difficult if you die when you collide with it so i decided to make without any damage

Thanks again i really appreciate your feedback!

my review:

The game is very nice: the audio and the graphics are simple but very nice!

dont understand the theme but its ok.

its much fun playing your game.

One thing maiby to improve.

you should display how high the player will jump: maiby if the player goes red its max jump high etc.

keep up the great work!

would love to get a feedback too !

Really like the idea. Audio was great. The graphics fit so well with the game too.

Good job.

Submitted

The concept of it is nice, but leaves a lot of room for further exploration of the theme, and congratulations on your first gamejam project, you did great eitherway.

Fun game! But I think I may not have gone far enough to get the theme...

I can't press any buttons and I can't alt+f4. Is that normal?

Developer

im not sure what is the problem try to restarst the game

Submitted

I restarted the game and it works fine.  Nice game.

Submitted

My Windows defender alerted me! Is that normal?

Developer

Yes i think that is because you have downloaded a .zip file with an .exe

Dont worry there are no viruses

Submitted

Perfect. 

I was just wondering if it was part of the game.
