Really nice! I found it difficult to start with but once you get the jump timings it's a beautiful game.
good job! Its a bit too hard for me, but I'm not really a gamer. :) I like the idea, and it was fun, but I couldn't get enough gold to build anything without landing on some spikes. Perhaps an easier first level would be nice, but probably most people can get through.
nice game! I liked the ambiance, pixel art and sound!! :)
Great work! Loved the aesthetics and the overall gamefeel. Reminds me of Hollow Knight in terms of platforming (which is a very good thing :D).
A wonderdul platform played ever !! Really liked the character and the completeness and originality of the game art!! Thanks for making it !!
Do check our game too and comment what you feel. Thank you!!
Excellent game, very difficult in the first attempts. I made a platformer too and I understand the complexity of designing challenging levels. Congratulations!
I love the look and the sound of the game, but it was really hard to play. I think the hitboxes are unfair and some of the spikes are hard to see, because its grey with sometimes red on grey.
I like the gameplay idea, but I think there is not enough feedback. For example I have no idea when then enemies reached the shipwreck unless I'm next to it. (If there is feedback in the HUD. I didn't saw it and it should be made clearer).
thanks for playing and for the feedback! All of your points are great ideas and I agree that more feedback would help make the game more rewarding
Very good theme interpretation! Super nice visuals, and nice audio.
The game is really nice to play, and yet so difficult.
Hitboxes seem a little wonky but that's just a minor nitpick. This game is a great design and well executed on top of that. I genuinely enjoyed playing it and trying to get farther.
As a Super Meat Boy player I have to say that it controls really damn well. My biggest issue is that there are PLENTY of sections where I just walked and platformed around to find absolutely nothing. Also after exploring for a while I could only get the top crystal in the start and the tutorial one.
The visuals are stunning and the music feels really nice with the gameplay. Easily one of the best entries I've seen in the jam. Not very innovative but the theme is applied pretty well.
Protip: there's only 2 crystals spawned at any given time... :) Glad you liked it!
Damn! Once I got the hang out of it it actually became really good fun, although there's an specific crystals with 2 dirt barriers that's a crotch kick hahaha.
It'd be awesome if you tried our game :)!
Reminds me of Flashback
Hard but very good, great audio and graphics as well.
I felt that the flow of the game is a little too slow. But I loved the atmosphere, especially the sound. Your interpretation of the theme was impeccable.
Great graphics and atmosphere. I enjoyed the gameplay. Double jump felt a bit floaty but I got used it quickly.
Amazing pixel art / controls and gameplay! Did find it a bit too hard and punishing tough
Absolutely stunning visuals. A bit difficult but that's really my only criticism; the concept is novel, it feels GREAT to play and the audio is effective too.
Very good game :)
I'll add that this is some damn good work, but is very hard to play - I found that I can only get the one crystal above the starting area without jumping into spikes. Aside from that the art and feel of it is extremely impressive, just needs some easier crystals to get to to get the defense snowball ball rolling.
Excellent work!
I can see myself getting addicted to this. It's pretty hard as it is, but that's all good.
I would buy a full version of this game. Excellent interpretation of the theme as well.
Congrats!
