this fits the "out of control" theme of gmtk2020
challenging indeed
True
wait, without an engine? i wouldn't even know how to start...
that IS impressive.
did you make the descision not to reset the timer when you die? cause boy-oh-boy was this testing my patience. also: dying from spikes that point away from you because of a certain hitbox size did feel unfair. apart from that very competent game and the sky looks super good (as does the rest, but the sky especially, yo know?).
Yeah I should make it a little more forgiving... Thanks for your opinion!
Well, you definitely created a challenging game - good job.
Sometimes it especially gets frustrating when you are in a spawn -> die instantly loop.
Great job creating and submitting a game!
Thanks
"Don't worry there is relaxing music in the background."
Thanks, I was worried I'd have to suffer in silence! Seriously though. I both love it and hate it. It's such a test of patience, but when you nail a level, it feels pretty damn good. Of course, I don't think it has to be said, but the art is great :)
The graphics are adorable, the music is nice and the sound effects are good. The controls are responsive, even if very limited. A very funny idea for a game, got a chuckle out of me!
However, after getting stuck in a death loop on level three, I would like to say that please, respectfully, go screw yourself xD
Interesting idea, though not one I cared for. Controlling the bird was a struggle, which while I get is the point didn't make for a pleasant experience. Which is unfortunate since it does look and sound nice. Didn't feel it fit the theme.
Fun
Did not enjoy it. Ever had that controller that drifted? Very frustrating. Maybe if you enjoy flappy bird you might like this.
Aesthetics
Fantastic. Reminds me of celeste. Looks professional and could see a commercial game with this art.
Music
Fantastic. Commercial game level quality. Fits the game and isn't distracting.
Sound
Sounds like sfxr. Not a good match for this game art.
Mechanics
You often jump out of view, and mid air jumps only work occasionally. I respect trying new ideas, but forced movement and precision platforming did not feel good.
I could see the potential for a mobile game with this mechanic. I am undecided if this is a genius idea or an awful one. Maybe just have the timed jump by itself, or the force right movement. They seem too much together, but they might work by themselves.
Story
None as far as I am aware.
Theme
It feels like this was designed for the theme "It is a feature not a bug". I don't feel that this qualifies as a game where "Death is only the beginning".
Nice game. The gradual increase in difficulty is also well done.
Good work!
Very happy to see monogame (I assume based on the icon) being used! A great framework, and impressive to be used in a game jam. As you promise the game is super difficult, It’s fair, but I would have liked it if the jump timer reset when the player respawns, it would make the game more predictable. The art is good, you should probably mention the music credit in your sources section. Your git repo seems to be empty too.
Thanks so much. It always warms my heart to hear such a thing!
Game doesn't load for me
Did you extract it? Please describe it. thanks
Yes, extracted but when I open the exe it plays a sound and nothing more, no window opens or process spawns?
where did you open it like what folde
just on my desktop, double click the EXE and nothing happened
you might need xna framework downloaded but i dont know
btw you cant have .exe seperated from the other folders
Hi, you will have until day 3 of voting to update your source, otherwise I will have to remove your submission from the jam.
Hi there, your github link doesn't include all of the source. Source is everything a user needs to download the files, open it in Unity, and hit Play to play the project.
Your github should look something similar to this: https://github.com/icepol/DeathIsOnlyTheBeginning
ok
I just did, its not unity tho
Ah, it's XNA. You're still missing files from your source though. Your scripts are referencing spritesheets that aren't in your GitHub. You need to include art, audio, etc. files.
Sorry. Do you know which one?
It looks like your GitHub repo is just empty now.
Ok after long hours i got it done! I needed to do it through git bash... Thanks for letting me know!
Yup, it looks good now :)
