Really liked the concept! My favourite levels were the cloud ones :). Did run into a few bugs, not sure if it was to do with the resolution of my browser, but the UI is a bit oversized? The jump sound also plays on input press rather than when the character jumps. The soundtrack and graphics fit the vibe well. Overall, good job :)

one mistake i have made during this game. not scaling the ui to screen. and then after i realized it was too late.

Just wow, this one is is such a brain teaser! Love it.  Once we got to the cloud I was like brotha, brain power required for sure! Amazing job!

Developer

Glad you liked (actually loved) it! When I started dev for the platformer levels I thought it was waaaaaaaay too simple, so I decided to add the cloud parts. Thank god I added the cloud parts because like 2/3 of the levels are clouds.

you executed this game extremely well! i think the level design makes this game really intriguing!

Developer

Thank you! This is one of my first times making a game so level-focused like this, so glad it turned out well!

Submitted

I really liked how the movement mechanic created a sort of 2D platformer-puzzler combination, fun game!

Submitted

Really cool interpretation of the theme! Love how you explored the mechanic to its fullest. I did accidentally win by touching the flag that was on the floating corner platform though.

Developer

Thanks for playing! also YOU CAN DO THAT???? Out of my 5 playtesters (all my family) that hasn't happened one time! Thanks for letting me know!

Submitted

I love a good puzzle game and this hits for me. The scaling difficulty is perfect. Great job. 

Developer

Thanks! Loved your game just the same amount :)

Submitted

I liked the concept, it's simple but works as a puzzle game.

I think it could be expanded and more work could be done on the level design, so there are more interesting challenges.

Great job! :D

Thank you! Yeah, I agree for sure the level design is lacking, hopefully I'll get better with experience. Thanks for playing the game!

Submitted

First of all got to get it off my chest: I just love the soundtrack, it just hits different. The game is very fun, guides you through it very well and the graphics are very fitting. As others said, sound design is top notch, and I think the gameplay is super polished.

The only things I would suggest is some UI improvements, idk if it's just me but the "next level" screen is a bit crowded, and I would like to be able to see how many coins I've collected while I'm playing the game.

10/10 love the game

Thank you for the feedback! Had to rush the UI elements so thats probably why they look a lil goofy, but glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted

Same hahaha, I guess that's how it is with game jams

Submitted

I think your strong points on this are the core mechanic, and how well it ties into the theme. Sound is crisp and makes the experience for me as well! Any plans to update for future levels or areas?

Developer

for sure man! I JUST THOUGHT OF THE IDEA FOR MOVING PADS, sad i can't incorporate them now :(

Submitted

Such a cool way to use the theme, the soundeffects were really cool as well. I honestly don't really have any feedback, great job!

Submitted

I really the theme interpretation - super unique! Really well done! Controls and everything is super intuitive!

Submitted

A fun take on the theme! Taking a moment to plan out where you're going to move in a level to optimize is enjoyable.
