This is a great game and might actually get a very good place in the ranking !
GG !
lovely!
I love what you've done with this! I'm a big fan of pixel art and everything in this game was so pretty. The boss fight at the end was super awesome. One of my favorite games I've played so far!
Very unique movement mechanic. It took me a good amount of time to really get hold of the movement but thats just a sign of it originality. The simple retro-aesthetics are also very fitting.
Really great and original game!
The only part I'm doubting on is the connexion with the theme "unstable". Everything else is good!
Very unique jump system.
I am surprised.
And I love GameBoy atmosphere.
I see the potential to make a full game out of it. Really polished, I love the art and the animations. Interesting mechanics, I had some problems when you have to do longer flights, it doesn't always take the imput when you switch from A to D, but maybe it's just me. Great work!
This could be a full fledged game on steam! It is so well polished, that I could already see this as a commercial game.
The art, sound and music and asthetic all work nicely together ^^
Then gameplay is fun, absolutely unique and engaging.
The only thing I can say here is: Amazing job!
i really liked the art style, the flying mechanic
and the boss at the end - amazing!
this game has great potential!
Great game! I like the unique control scheme and the amazing art style and color palate. I ran into some confusion while playing but overall I am a really big fan of this! I wasn't sure what the point of the checkpoints was since in most cases you just fall when you run into the wall. During the boss, I wasn't sure if a lose state was possible since I don't see any health bar for the character. It also seems like there is a cool down on how fast you can change direction which I would have liked a visual indicator for. Overall love the game andd I would totally play a full release. Keep it up!
The use of fixed flight to control the player mid-air is ingenious. Like the other players who played this game before me, it was hard learning how the game worked at first. But once I found out how the controls worked, I was able to get to the end and beat the boss. I also love the Gameboy-like graphics and the sfx. Excellent game and jam submission!
What a blast from the Nintendo past. Playing this brought back so many memories from my childhood. From the limited pixel color palette of deep purples and reds to the interesting gameplay mechanics is one of the most innovative games I’ve seen on this jam. At first the game is hard to get the hang of flying and once you have it nailed down you are truly a bat out of hell. The sound and music is just like most of the Nintendo games back in day. 10/10 is well deserved here. Would love to see more of your work.
Nice take on the theme! I specifically looked for your entry because I knew you wouldn’t let us down. Great gameplay feeling, a bit frustrating, as it should. It reminded me of the moths flying paths. Interesting take on visual art+sound, it felt cohesive. Having a boss was unexpected and a nice addition. Good job, Clark & Joyce!
The operation is a bit difficult, but quite fun. The overall style of the game has the charm of the GameBoy era.
Just replayed it! You gotta try expanding this idea into a bigger game in the future, or at least the fly-loop jump mechanic! That mechanic has potential for further expansion and can make for a really unique platformer imo. The game currently is a great little game! with lots of polish, and a cool final boss that makes you feel cool when you dodge and weave while flying!
Yes, I'm satisfied :)
This should honestly have more ratings. You have a unique game with an interesting loop, a clear take on the theme, and a level of polish that I wish my entry had achieved. Very nice job. I really hope you expand this because I was very pleasantly surprised with this entry.
Very fun!!! challenging but not frustrating!, and the art is so good...
(I appreciate the gamepad compatibility, it worked on my cheap ps3 controller)
This game is short but good! The controls were confusing at first, but I got the hang of them. The visuals also look very nice. Good job!
I LOVE this game. I was pretty bad at it but I still beat it!
