I think this is a very philosophical platformer :D. The mechanics resemble a simple platformer, but you were able to make it outstanding and completely different than most such games. I didn't know at first what to do with the first puzzles, but I figured it out in the end.
The game you're describing is a fascinating experience that really grabs you from the start. Its dynamics keep you hooked and wanting to continue playing it until the end. The main character feels very well designed, with smooth gameplay and an emotional connection that draws you into the story.
One of the most ingenious features of the game is the mechanic of not being able to go back. This adds an extra challenge and forces you to make quick and strategic decisions, as every move counts and can have significant consequences. This restriction keeps you constantly on your toes and further immerses you in the plot of the game.
In addition to the innovative mechanics, the game also features a variety of well-designed challenges, puzzles, and enemies that keep the interest level high at all times. Each new level or scenario presents new obstacles and surprises, preventing the experience from becoming repetitive and monotonous.
The graphics and music also contribute to the immersion in the game. The environments are beautifully designed, with carefully crafted details that immerse you in a rich and vibrant world. The background music is perfectly adapted to each situation, creating an exciting and captivating atmosphere.
In short, this game is highly recommended for those who are looking for an addictive and intriguing gaming experience. With its inventive mechanics, well-developed characters, and exciting challenges, it will keep you entertained for hours and you'll want to keep playing until you reach the end. Get ready for a unique and exciting adventure that you will not be able to forget!
I liked this but found not being able to move left a little frustrating at times but i also think that its what makes the game more interesting. well done!
Very unique! Felt very polished and fun to play, the jup sound did get repetitive but the gameplay was very enjoyable :)
Not bad, controls felt wonky to me but im old fashioned in game controls lol. I did like it though, it was well done.
If anyone wants, they can check mine out too.
Don't know if you've done an update and broken it since others played, but on the WebGL version (can't see another anyway), all I'm getting is this on my Safari browser -
Error
The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing:
Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
and on Firefox it just sticks on the loading bar.
What browser is anyone else using?
Oh scrap that, Firefox finally loaded :P,.. BRB
And I'm back :)
What, I can't go backwards? Must be a bug!,.. oh no wait, it's a feature :D, Made for a great twist on play to have a fun strategy game :).
Making it through the doors room was an achievement,.. I found that cat and a couple of other out of the way rooms, a few too many times :P. But I was rewarded with the fun endless falling space which was a really fun one.
Great work on this, brought a lot of great ideas and such together. Well done!
I really love the level design!!! also, the mechanics are a very interesting twist :) it is very well thought. Congratulations!
Edit: I didn't make it to the end, and I didn't know I could pet the cat!... so, now I'm playing again :P
Second Edit: pet the cat 5 times! ♥
pretty cool game. I love the art style, music was chill and fit the art. I love the concept where you can only go right and up xD.
haha the final stats made me laughSuper cute game. I enjoyed the map variety using the world-wrapping mechanic. That one where you fall through the map and the whole thing is floating coins was fun ^-^
Love the game, it feels overall very polished! Would love to see more levels.
It's a great aesthetic with the music, sound effects, colors, and figures. They go together really well. Like suggested before, a little more guidance would be helpful. I passed that cat so many times! I really like the take on the 2D theme -- didn't not think about that as a possible interpretation. Great work!
Good job on your first game jam submission! This game is very coherent and well put together. I especially like the music and art combo.The attention to detail in the graphics and sound design is truly remarkable. It's evident that a lot of passion and dedication went into arranging the tiles.
I feel that the connection between the gameplay and the theme could be strengthened. If there were more instances where the player could directly interact with elements related to the theme, it would enhance the overall immersion and make the experience even more engaging.
Additionally, I believe that providing players with clearer hints or guidance on what to do next would greatly enhance their overall experience. The arrows are definitely helpful in terms of controls but a mention to the objective would be nice as well.
Overall, great job on your submission! Keep up the good work! I see a lot of potentials:)
An excellent game that will be staying in my collection. 5 star mechanics.
Great submission. Was an unusual challenge not being able to go left, it added to the challenge.
It's just you and me here now, cat. Forever.
Hey there, I enjoyed your title here, creative interpretation of the Theme. You know, ever since Portal I've wondered about that effect where you fall through one vertical portal into another and gain momentum, and you've neatly incorporated it here. I dig the tunes and general atmosphere. I guess the feedback I would give is I'd like to see if you could go further with it, take the mechanics and make it more of a puzzley brainteaser eventually. You keep that chill vibe though, my little alien guy.
