the concept is very cool and original, the sound and design are so good, its a bit too easy in my opinion but other than that great game
Probably the best 2D platformer I've seen, love the music, controls are good. I may have missed something but as you collect the 3 portal gems could that be shown in the UI?
Really enjoyed learning something too.
Will play again, often.
Of course it could! I didn't think about it :)
Thanks you!
Very interesting concept, and fantastic sound design. I could definitely see this being a full game if the combat gets more fleshed out
Hello! I liked your game and the aging mechanic! I actually used more the "get younger" than the "get older", because it felt a bit like regenerate life.
I got inside the ground fighting the Egypt boss and couldn't continue! Couldn't get out or hit the boss :(
It happened after the boss gave me the melee attack when it charges forward and smacks you down with its pawn! And I was jumping!
I'll put the screenshot for you!
Other than this ground bug, I had a good time!
Good game and cool knowledge regarding the gods!
Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed the aging mechanic. It's an interesting take on player health where having full health is not the most advantageous. Like the others, I did fall through the floor during the second level and the boss level. During the boss level, I fell through the floor when the boss swiped at me, and I was directly underneath its foot. It happened three times and was a little demotivating. I did end up completing the game, though!
The quit game button on the main menu did not work for me, so I just closed it manually.
I found the aging mechanic very unique, and I enjoyed playing around with different ages to progress. Well done!
I really enjoyed this , Ageing mechanic is really clever . good level design . the only comment is i could do with a little coyote time jumping on the platforms . Fantastic job :-)
Great game!
Like the others though, I also ran into the problem when falling through the floor. For me, it even happened at the final boss. Somehow I could still shoot at him, but then I couldn't reach the final door! It was pretty funny but a bit sad because I didn't want to start again.
Thanks for your comment, I knew about that glitch in the second level, but the boss level? Where exactly and how did this happen? I want to reproduce it.
I'm sorry I didn't get a screenshot. I can't remember the exact circumstance but somehow when the boss was pushing me back when he comes out to push it happened. I hope that helps!
Yes, thank you. Some other guys has the same problem.
Excellent game, I like the aging mechanism and that you actually have to use them to get through, so a platformer with a hint of puzzle.
When I jumped from up high, I somehow ended up inside of one of the platforms and needed to restart the whole game. I think that might be because of the Rigidbody collission (if you used that) I think it was collissionDetection that helps with that :)
Anyway neat game and perfectly made for the theme 5/5!
Thanks a lot! Yes that happend to a few people and it's driving me mad, that I didnt know about this earlier :(
Indeed I used the Rigidbody collision. I will look into that, if I want to continue the game, but the code is a mess :D
Thanks again!
I really like the aging mechanic and the level design around that. Really well done there. I ended up giving up after I fell through the floor on the 2nd Egypt level (where the really long drop is). The pic is me at the bottom of the world lol.
Sorry for that... Sadly you are not the only one...
Did you restart the game and fought the boss? I really wanted some feedback on it.
But there are too many games to play each one for a decent time, so it's okay if you didn't :D
Thanks for your feedback!
I really like the tutorial. It was very explanatory. Sometimes I felt the jumping was a bit strange but maybe it was because the mage was too young. A very enjoyable game. Nice entry!
Cute game, I love the little history bits thrown in! Now if only getting older meant getting more powerful and jumping higher haha! I can confirm eyesight fading is a thing :)
Yeah I know , right? The only thing getting more powerful is my bed and belly :D
A fun game, I really liked the mechanic of the eyesight going as you get older but getting better in other ways.
Nice work! Really interesting to see age used as a binary mechanic like that
I was wondering why the game had the size of 206mb, but it turns it the game zip file includes both the source code, and the build of the game.
Anyways, I have tried out the game. The art looks awesome, and I find the gameplay interesting.
However, I got older even when the dialogues are showing, no time to read them. I have to rush through it all to get a chance at completing the level.
The age also seems to go down way too fast in the ancient egypt level. I keep using up all my "Make younger" crystals. So I game over often, trying to navigate and see where things are.
After dying 3 or 4 times I think, I got the game over screen which is fine, but I then clicked the "Try It Again?" button, and it all is black. Can't see anything. Until a game over screen pops up again after a while :-)
I can't seem to get past the egypt level no matter how hard I try to stay young :-)
Thanks for the feedback. I know about this bug, but I couldn't fix it... :(
Which level do you mean, the first one or the second one?
And I have a tip for you, try to stay at a middle age :) It helps with jumping and shooting. Would you mind to try it again?
And about the zip file... I really didn't know what I was doing... it's much smaller now, thank you!
The ancient egypt level is the one I have to rush, due to getting old way too fast :-) But no matter the level, the time doesn't pause when a dialogue is shown :-)
I'll try the ancient egypt level again tomorrow (about to sleep) , but I seem to get old too fast in that level to keep it balanced :-)
There are two ancient egypt levels :)
Ok thank you :)
Oh, well then it is the first ancient egypt level, never got past it :-)
Just tried the game again :-)
I still can't get past the first ancient egypt level no matter what I try. I kept it balanced in near the center but it probably took 4-5 attempts before I found the first and second relic, I thought that was it but when I got to the portal it didn't glow. I might be missing something, so I had a few more attempts with no luck. I find it hard to have the time to find anything without dying constantly trying to find everything. I don't feel like there is room for mistakes either, I have to rush with no time to read the dialogues either :-)
I do like the game mechanics, it is just the difficulty of the level that I have issues with :-)
Hi! It looks like both your downloads are the project source? I don't see an executable in either of them. Let me know if I am missing something..
Oh! Thank you! It should work now! Thanks for telling me :).
