Didn't make it very far sadly. Enjoy it though!! The using points system to get stuff before the level is a great idea!! BEAUTIFUL music. I couldn't figure out how to get any cogs, but I'm sure if I devoted lots of time to it I could. Anyway, really liked this. One critique is to work on your fades. I can play for quite a few seconds before the screen is gone. Nice game!
The music is actually cc0 music, I added a keybind to go to the credits by pressing C on the main menu, but that ended up being something I added at the last moment but I didn't test it, and turned out it didn't actually work, the fade screen is actually a problem I am aware, seeing little problems like these makes me kinda sad despite people having liked the game, as I had to rush through the final hours to make it to the jam.
Bro some of our game is next to broken. It’s a Jam. Short time frame. You did good. If you keep adding to it, you’ll do great.
I know, I had fun doing it, I am just an overly ambitious person that likes to do a bit of everything xD, it's not good to be like that though, overscoping is very bad.
Amen to that friend. I’m the same way! But even Bob Ross says it’s good to never be satisfied with your work, or you won’t strive to continue and improve :)
Cool game!
Really nice game and intro
Hi
I really like the introductory story in the beginning, it's really nice.
Thanks for your feedback!
You're welcome!
Can you leave a feedback and rating on my game as well?
Don't worry I was going to do that, I was busy so I couldn't get around rating some more games.
the art is simple, and some mechanics like parts to modify the player is really neat. some level design was a bit... too difficult? one area in particular was level 2. the autoscrolling is neat but the area with the first turret is quite miserable without double jump due to both the bats and the turret and very precise jumping being required. that though is just my personal thought on its difficulty, but as for the game design, one major issue was the fact that the autoscrolling has no barriers at the start or end of the camera. i was confused and jumped off a cliff at the start because i didn't realize it was an autoscroller because the camera only moved after a few seconds of waiting, and had a barrier been there, then it would have both prevented the fall as well as made me see clearly first it autoscrolls. you can see this used in games like super mario bros 3 in its autoscrolling levels. another critique would be turrets. because they angle at the player location before shooting, it makes the visual off in that a bullet would be fired but then the turret immediately faces another direction. stopping the movement for a moment to fire and then wait and then continue rotating would make the turret visual feel a bit nicer since it is required to be looked at in order to avoid being shot.
the levels were fun on their design though and the music was nice. some changes just would make it a little nicer and more smooth and overall feel better to play. regardless, nice work!
I am totally on board that what I made was a little too difficult, I originally intended for this game to be very different than it came out, however due to time constraints and college I had to cut some of that content out, and some of the level design, despite being tuned to be completable without any power ups, still got pretty out of hand with the difficulty, that's one of the things I said I am unhappy with about this game in the discord a while ago, and I want to re-make the game once the jam ends from scratch with the scrapped content back in place.
I like the simple game art, black and white is always a timeless contrast!
Thank you for your feedback!
Fun game has a hard, but fair challenge. Only improvement let players restart from the level they died on
I like the game and art. I don't love the controls and i couldn't tell sometimes if i was near an edge or not. also, i thought a skip text when I've already died would've been nice. I like this game a lot and enjoyed the menu BG and dialogue. dialogue can be hard to write level design was also easy to understand. Also shooting when my gun is inside the box does not seem to damage it. I also like the particle effects and gun. cool game glad i played it!
Thanks for your feedback! The gun issue is something I was very aware of, I fail to see why it happens but I want to re-program the game from scratch after the jam ends, and what you've said here will be very useful.
Nice feel on the game and the story is good, Also I liked the simplistic art design, spot on on that.
Thanks! It warms my heart to know a lot of people are enjoying this art style as much as I enjoyed to make the entire game around it.
Hey, I was actually going to rate your game next! What a neat surprise to see you here!
Such a smooth art using only few colors wow well done !
the game is really fun to play and the level design is impressive :D
i finished course 1 and lost in course 2 >.< but i survived there for so long :3
Great game !
I've asked for a friend of mine to test the game and they actually complained about course 2 as well, I will re-balance it once I have the chance to after the end of the jam.
I am glad that you enjoyed my game despite course 2 spiking in difficulty a little too fast! You got pretty close to finishing the game, the game only has three courses and the third one is a one-act.
The art with the black n white colour scheme simply looks brilliant. keep it up
also checkout our game. would love ur opinion 😄
I am glad you enjoyed the game, I've just tested yours and I think it's great!
Also fun fact since we are mentioning color schemes here, originally the game would use a color pallette closer to the C64, but I decided to just make B/W when I went over to Charalian and asked to help me with the art.
Awesome art style. Controls are quite good as well, just stuck on how to get the cogs.
Some of the cogs are actually a little tricky for myself to get too, and I made the game, but there is always at least one cog that is accessible without any installed modules every level, at least one that is accessible only through shooting, and one through double jumping. There is also a few that are under pass-through platforms, but I feel I didn't convey very well you can go through some of them.
Simple but efficient graphics. Good work.
I'm glad you like them! I like B/W graphics a lot and I really wanted to do something it that!
Liked the pixel art!
Thanks! I had to fill in quite often the role of artist, so we had to go for something simple because I am not the greatest artist ever.
