Very fun and love the fact that the mechanic was so unique as well, fits the theme perfectly. I know you can speed up the timer by shaking but for the first few levels with the constant rhythm of the bomb I felt like it would be perfect to have a track with the same bpm that could maybe progress as you go through the levels or checkpoints even
Noted. Maybe an even more rhythm based approach would be something to explore with a game like this. Perhaps a "beats" mode? Not a bad idea! Thanks for playing!
Fun little platformer :)
Thank you! Seems I missed yours. I'll try to give it a go before the ratings are in.
That was really fun! The periodic extra jump was predictable and fun to work around, and the levels, while a bit difficult for a jam game, were quite fair (or maybe I'm just too good at these sorts of wacky platformers?). The art and character designs are cute!
While the instability was predictable, there could've been more indication to it than only the green bar in the top-left corner. Maybe a subtle aura around the player character? Perhaps an audio cue? (An audio cue that's subtle, or it would get annoying quickly).
I could not read the first intro cinematic in the time it was on-screen. Pressing a button to advance it might be more convenient.
The songs are really cool! They encapsulate the game's goofy dystopian vibe. Although, the audio is a little bit loud; the music and sound in combination regularly peak above +0.0 dB.
Also, while the level design was, all-in-all, pretty good, there was a leap of faith in the final level.
Fantastic! Great work!
Eyy, you beat it! Thanks for the detailed review. Yeah, these issues were largely something we though about, but had no time to address. :) The bit about the music being too loud I didn't really consider, just eared it on my laptop speakers. :)
Very nice concept.
Really challenging, I don't think I got very far. Great job on the unique unstable mechanic.
The background music is great. Couldn't get past level 3 but I could tell from the screenshots that the game has more to amaze me with. You could do some improvement to the graphic and I loved the start.
