Very Unique and great idea. Christ it take a while to work out what you have to do but I guess that is the whole point. I see the comments about having a hot key has now changed. Pressing 1 2 and 3 works great. Very impressed with it.

What fun to drag and drop the actions into the level.

I see other people mentioned it, I was desperate for a hotkey. This was a ton of fun though, I loved the action packed, intense music. Everything looked and played beautifully. It was really clever and I really enjoyed it, I'm just not great at the drag and drop :)

Good concept. Just wished that instead of dragging the actions you had a hotkey to perform them.

Developer

Don't worry we are already working on that ;)

Enjoyable game! Like the other person here said, it was sometimes not very clear what each item did, but for a game made in just a weekend, that kind of polish cannot always be applied. Overall nice entry!

Developer

Thanks  ! Indeed we are currently working on the polish, all this feedback helps a lot :3

i like the idea of this game a lot, it's hectic and i like the trial and error of every level

however it did start to feel like a bit much, and not know what each thing actually did was kinda rough

good job on this one

Developer

Thank you for the feedback !

If you are talking about the items it's a shame because we designed the first levels as "tutorials" for the player to try out every item in easy and straightforward levels (from level 1 to 5). But if you went through every of these tutorial levels and didn't know which item did what then, i guess we did something wrong... ^^'

i think it was level 4, the one with the red and blue sparkles as the items

i couldn't figure out which should be used at what time, my thinking was that the red was supposed to be used to get me over the rocky section but then the boxes at the end block me :/

if there was some way i could have seen a description of the items i would have had an easier time with it

Developer(+1)

I understand where you come from, but we figured it would be a bit dull for some players to have such a description, we thought trying to figure out the items would be part of the challenge.

I think what you missed on level 4 is the green bar on the top left corner. This is your stamina. You need this bar full if you want to use the blue sparkle properly. And we did such a thing because we think it would have been too OP otherwise.

i like this game a lot but i don't like the ability to have runs give you bad items so you loose right at the beginning i wish it was a deck of abilities that i could stack or something

Developer

That actually was our first idea, but we decided to go deeper into the "die-&-retry" concept by randomizing it. Although we figure with the feedback that it might be better to go back to our first idea. So that might change in the future. Thank you so much for the feedback !

I really like the idea of this game, though it's super hectic and a lot of trial and error, which I think was intended? I wish I could use the items easier, as some need to be pretty precise. Beautiful audio and parallax on the title, nice job!

Developer

It actually was intended, but maybe it is a bit too much. We are going to work on it in the future. Thanks for trying it out !

This is a really cool and clever spin on the auto-runner. The art and the music are on point. Thematically, this game is oozing with flavor. Love it. 

However, the controls were super frustrating. I almost quit on the first level because timing dropping the icons on the screen felt impossible when the speed kept changing. It's difficult enough as it is, but when the whole thing slow or stops to perform an action, it felt really unfair and unfun. I'm not sure what the better solution is though. I ended up getting to level 6, but the levels where the powers started to randomize were just too frustrating for me with everything else. 

Awesome jam entry. And I saw some other comments mention touch controls worked a lot better. That's probably the solution. But for a browser game, it felt a bit out of place. 

Developer(+1)

I get your point, and we actually have some ideas to make the controls better. We are gonna try to implement them in the future. Thanks for the feedback it means a lot !

What am i supposed to do is a great name and a great game, found it really hard to position things with a mouse, but when using a touchscreen I managed to get to level 6.


Graphically it is really cool and the music is great, it fits the theme brilliantly and overall is a top notch game.

Developer

Yep, as I said to CFHM, we are working on better controls. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated !
