It's tough, the diagonal platforms are really annoying I HATED THEM. I had to try so many times but finally beat the game. Cool game, it's fun and has good level design reminded me of super meat boy a lot... I guess it wouldnt be wrong if I call it Super Dough Boy haha had fun playing it. Good job overall!

Thank you for your nice comment and Super Dough Boy sounds fun but I'll stick with The Tales Of The Magical Space Dough.

I really liked the level design, the voice acting and the challenge! so far this is one of my favorites games on the jam, really good job here!
You could definitely use some animations and some feedback when you die, and also remove that movement on the camera when you respawn (it made me feel kind of dizzy). And maaayyyybe the music wasn't spot on with the gameplay. But otherwise I loved this. That level 5 was crazy!

Developer

Thank you for your nice comment. I am currently busy with animations, I can move the camera to the starting position of the character to fix the respawn movement. And I am making a seperate music file for the levels them self but I did not have the time to make a second song for the game(With my basic knowledge of fl studio). Hope you have a great day and hope you like the improved version if you still wan't to play it if it's out.

Cool game!  And great voice acting and level creativeness!  My only advise would be to promote your game better by having screen shots, a trailer, nice game page etc. (I tried your game last because the first impression felt lazy and no passion haha)  Also, the plus to doing this is there are a lot of YouTubers that play random itch games and I noticed most of mine get played cuz perhaps I sell the appeal with the effort i put in on my game pages.

Developer

Thank you for your comment I still need screenshots and a trailer and all. I'll add them as soon as possible.

This was a lot of fun, I really liked the dry almost bored voiceover lines, they were really fun :D Controlling the character felt a little slippy for a game about precision platforming, but that's more of a personal preference. I kept hitting an invisible kill wall at the edge of level 3 which was a little annoying, but otherwise the levels were very well designed! Nice work :)

Developer

Thank you for your nice comment I will have the border at level 3 fixed in a future build

Alright. I've beaten through Level 6 as of the time of this write up. I have a lot of feedback. 

First:

SO FAR, THIS IS THE MOST FUN I'VE HAD PLAYING A GAME FROM THIS GAME JAM!!!!

I really enjoy this game- I love dough and I have been a pizza cook for a while so the overall concept appeals to me. 

When I first began playing I didn't like how I couldn't jump after falling off a ledge (something I test for in almost every platform, I like it) but after playing it for a while I think it adds to the overall feel and challenge. 

Speaking of challenge: this game is challenging. I've played for almost an hour and a half. The controls and obstacles PUNISH YOU. Not like a normal punish either these REALLLLYYY punish you. As of writing this, a lot of the slopes are just terrible to use, you cant jump of of some parts, you cant move easily in the upward direction (etc...) at first it was jarring and felt bad but after playing I think it adds to the overall challenge of the game. I avoided slopes at all possible more than avoiding spikes and blades. Honestly its pretty fun in a strange way. 

The level design was actually pretty cool. Some of the levels there was more than one exact path and I feel like a lot of thought was put into planning out the levels. 

Before I get down to what I really want to say some small things: I love the voice over. I thought it was funny. I only heard the narrator (the credits mentioned other VO but I didnt hear any) and a note I'd have would be to add a lot more VO- it added a lot of really fun personality to the game. 

ALRIGHT NOW BELOW IS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE DEV AND ME EVERYONE ELSE BACK OFF!!!!!:

Level 5. (I'm not going to mention any key parts because I don't want to spoil any surprises anyone might have)

What on Earth. 

That was so hard. I died and retried so many times that I MEMORIZED THE LEVEL. I DID. SERIOUSLY. I figured out some sick tricks to getting over certain parts, avoiding slopes, and dang dang dang. My pointer finger hurts now from holding down the D key. I actually ended up having to use a controller to finish the level because my fingers were tired. BUT IM SO HAPPY I STUCK WITH IT AND BEAT IT.  Honestly Level 5 was so crazy. Playing it over and over (and over) again really made me realize how things were at least thoughtfully positioned. 

Great job on the game overall. I enjoyed playing it and will probably keep it. The save feature is really nice. You should add a way to play past beaten levels again because I want to show my friends level 5 without doing levels 1-4. haha 

If you ever want to chat gamedev, or play some online games sometime let me know because just based off playing this game I think we'd get along. haha cheers!

Thank you for your comment I really liked reading it and it gave me a warm feeling inside reading that you liked my game. I never had any trouble with the voice acting if you wan't I can send you the intro cutscene video. I thought about adding a level select I think I'll add it to the extra menu. If you wan't to talk about gaming or play a game sometime here is my Discord: justifrusti#9475 hope you have a great day.
