Platformer with a lot of levels. Unfortuntely I could not get the dash to work on my keyboard. The music sounds strange since it is not in a key.
Completed normal mode in 15 mins. I suck, Not gonna even attempt the challenge mode.
This game is difficult af, I like it.
Pixel art is lovely, music and sound effects were nice.
I would have loved a better implementation for keyboards though.
Great game, cool levels, music and sound effects fit well together, unfortunately, programming a Jump and Run is very difficult. Many nuances need to be considered so that the player feels comfortable and has the feeling of controlling the game character. In your implementation, unfortunately, this is not yet the case. Nevertheless, a good game, keep it up.
Very nice!
Excellent UI and visual presentation! I really liked that there was a time to beat for the levels (dev time).
And I really, really appreciate controller support, that was such a huge plus for me!
A few nitpicks
I wish I could play the rest of the game, because it was really promising! Well done :)
Thanks for playing, and I appreciate the feedback!
Unfortunately the shoulder buttons (dash & scale) on controller don’t work on the web version. If you’d like to use controller and get the dash working then I’d suggest one of the downloadable builds.
(If you’re on Mac then you’ll be stuck with using keyboard on the web build, sorry!)
Good loking platforming game that I SUCK at ;P
The second level was already too hard for me. I don;t even know what the game wants me to do because I cannot seem to get the height needed to make the jump in the middle of the level.
The music accompanies the frantic gameplay nicely and the art looks very good.
It's a shame the game is so hard, because I didn't even get to the scaling part and reading the comments I am not alone in finding the game very difficult. For a game jam I would either err on the side of being too easy than too difficult or have a difficulty slider, or ramping up the difficulty more slowly after players at least saw all your game has to offer.
Still a great game though, I just suck at it ;P
(I did get kinda close to your level 1 time at least !)
Thanks for the feedback! The second level definitely spikes the difficulty too much which is too bad because the levels that come after are a bit easier (probably not enough so though). Lesson learned!
In terms of not getting enough height on the second level - you need to use the dash vertically (it’s omnidirectional),turns out this mechanic could have used an explicit tutorial.
Thanks for playing!
Got stacked on second level LOL, nice game!
