The game is quite hard with the weird physics. The portal is very cool and why there is no audio ? (even simple sounds for jump and collecting coins)

Developer

That weird physics is the only major dificulty in the whole game... You need to gain some speed in order to jump higher and farther.

Thanks for the Portal (I made it to look the coolest I could in last days...). And the Aura effect too ??

Audio, Music, these are the things that I missed... Sorry for that.

Thanks for rating and trying it out. Rated yours too.

Nice game, however I think the controls were a little hard to handle. Anyway, it was a good game!

Developer

Thanks!, the jumping control, right? It was the only difficulty in the game. One is supposed to use momentum , i.e., moving with some velocity and then jumping will actually make you jump longer and higher... that's the trick.

Also, you can use your Aura shield (what you get in the end of level 2) to jump on the coins...

Submitted

Yeah, the jumping control. I didn’t use the shield, but maybe it would help me a lot!

this game is hard with those physics

Developer(+1)

Really? The jumping mechanism may had troubled you. Anyways, thanks for trying it out.

btw, Your game was nice and interesting. And with the level editor you included, we can play it our friends. Thanks!

Thanks.

I really like the main character, it reminds me some kind of Digimon baby stage form!:) I am glad you asked me to play it! With a little music and sound effects it would improve a lot!


Developer

Thanks very much.  About this character, I made and animated it myself, for the first time. And I was unable to compose music and sound effects on time, and don't know how to do it too. Thanks, and your game is awesome too.

Submitted

thanks, then I'm waiting for your rating too :)

Developer

Already rated, nice game, thanks!

Submitted

Pretty sweet intro! Fun game as well even if I did find the controls a bit tricky to get the hang of personally.

Developer

Thanks for playing. Your game is great too. I shared it with my friends also. Did you manage to find all the controls, especially about the camera zoom controlling Z key ??

Submitted

Nice submission. I like the simple art and the sense of humor!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Nice game=) Maybe you can add opportunity for player to control movements during jump?

Developer

Hey, Thanks! Movement during jump??, that is the only difficulty in the game. If you were to move in air, then you could easily jump on the platforms and dodge those bugs. You may have to gain enough momentum to jump on higher platforms. Though you liked my game, Thanks.

And your game is great too.

Submitted

The game is interesting, I've finished all level including the boss battle. 

Just asking, is there supposed to be sound? I can't hear any on my device, I've checked running youtube and the sound is on though.

Developer

Thanks very much for trying out my game. This is my first ever game jam, and you are the first person who is playing my game whom I didn't ask to play directly...

Did you found that the Z key was used for something,  two of my friends whom I asked for play testing didn't.

And there was I bug in the Aura, that when Aura is totally finished, it won't replenish in certain scenarios, and you are stuck in the aura and you can't jump, forever... (didn't you encountered it ???)

I just fixed and uploaded it though (v1.0.2)

Tried your game too, and the first battle is too complicated and difficult, as you said. But overall the game and further gameplay is a fun. I voted your game too.

And for your query on the sound of the game, the truth is that I was unable to compose songs for the game (I didn't make any songs ever). I asked some musicians here, but in the last few days, and they said it's too late. Then I decided to make the plot somewhere in space (and hence the gravity is too weak too). But all the art was made by me, and I made and animated the Main Character and the Bugs, all by myself, for the first time.

Thanks again.

I will check v1. 0.2 but I didnt find any game breaking bug with the Aura since I never use it until empty. And also I didn't check Z key, I will check later. 

Great job on creating all art assets. The low gravity makes the jump mechanisms nice too, like walking in space. 

Edit: oh Z key is for Zoom, I notice that I always use that key to zoom out so I can see the area better.
