at first I was like wait what is triggering the platform pairs to change, then I realized it was time based and I got into the groove and I got up to like 60. I was curious does the pattern ever change or is it just kind of an endurance run seeing if you can maintain the pattern with consistency

Space Is Limited

Thanks for playing man :)

Yeah. It's more of a rhythm-ish test of endurance than anything else

l2tdakSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

Okay so that was pretty... meditative. Once I got in to the groove i had fun! I thought you were pushing it with 'one pair' but once I played, I dunno. It's kinda just one jump you make back and forth infinitely so I think it kinda works. Cool game!

Thanks for playing and for your feedback man :)

Pretty simple concept, but it lacks of diffeernt platforms. Also you need to work on movement.

Thank you for your feedback and criticism man :)

Game is lacking variety something like random platforms spawns or anything like boosts,skills that player can pick up. It's just simple jumping left and right.Platform spawn time is always the same.In my opinion this game is too easy , my score is 86. Nice idea with one pair.

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you for your feedback man :)

I did think of adding some power ups or skills but I felt it best that the player just worries about the cherries

Hey, coming from the community thread here. Agree with you the game is difficult, our best score is 37!

Not sure if this is intended, but how if the platform appears more randomly? For example, the platform goes left right, then right left to give more even more challenge.

Also, try our game as well (look forward to your feedback): https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462181#post-873981 :)

Wow, brutally hard is right! This is a fun, frustrating challenge, I like it :) Thanks again for rating our game!
And btw, 7-zip worked for me as well for unzipping!

Glad you liked it man. Thank you for your feedback :)

Nice idea, I was able to reach a high score of 36 after I picked up the rhythm. However, it gets boring after a while, so it needs some variety. Anyway, it was a fun experience. Nice work.

Submitted

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you for playing and for your feedback.

I will definitely expand on the idea and I will do what I can when I can :)

Graphics display: ultra

I like the idea and the gameplay, you might be pushing the theme a little with 'one pair' hahaha.

Submitted

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago

You should see how it looks at low settings XD XD XD

Anyway....thank you for playing and for your feedback. Also, yeah many people have been telling me that I sort of cheated on the theme 😂😂

GlitchSlayerSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

jumping and movement = epic

variety of mechanics = not epic

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago

Your comment = helpful :)

GameDevToolmaker5 years ago(+1)

feels good... and great concept behind it...
i wish if rhytmic game elements would be added this would double the fun...

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago(+1)

Thank you for playing and for providing feedback. A sort of rhythm best gameplay was exactly what I was going for but I was only able to do so much.......

I shall try and expand on the game in any way I possibly can later on. ( Hopefully life will permit XD)

GameDevToolmaker5 years ago

looking forward to it.... remember to return the favor by trying and ratting mine https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/431948

Colin EUMPSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

On the upside, your game is functional. It was jarring to have it start so suddenly, but after two tries of trying to figure out what to do, I got into it.

On the downside, your game is solvable. For the third try I figured I'd just go until I lost once since it seemed simple enough to rate based on just that. I stopped having fun at 15 points. At 120 points, I stopped bothering and closed the game.

I think if you go infinite for how long your game can last, you really need some form of progression, even if just building toward impossible speed.

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. I'm aware the game is rather light on content and is basically based on that one mechanic of the two platforms. It's what I was going for looking at the theme and everything of "only one"

Regardless.....at the end of the day, you're right. I won't take anything away from the fact that the game is basically screaming for some sort of progression system.I will definitely implement it in a final version.

Thank you so much for playing my game and for your criticism. I'll definitely keep it in mind :)

P.S 120 is a damn good score !!!! I honestly can't go past 70-ish since I end up falling out of the rhythm of the game XD

Took me a little time to get the hang of it but other than that, neat game!

Thanks for playing and for providing feedback man :)

Striking ThoughtsSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

hahaha the word play here with the GMTK theme is my favorite thing ... "One Pair"
Definitely some more platform variety and some signal/transition in between each platforms would be good.

Submitted

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you for your feedback and for playing the game man :) .

I originally thought about adding some sort of signal......but I felt it's more challenging in its current state ;)

Striking ThoughtsSubmitted5 years ago

it is definitely more challenging like this!

FiskyfiskoSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

Got like 40 points, would be cool if it started changing where the platforms spawn. Good job man!

It Devours Our Souls

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you for your feedback and for playing it . If the game gets enough feedback, I'll definitely try and implement your idea :)

JotlaneSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

Gameplay was a bit plain, it could use a bit more variation to keep things exciting, like maybe having the platforms appear at different places + telegraphing where they'll appear so it won't be impossibly hard. I also noticed that you used Unity, you could try looking into WebGL for future games on itch.io!

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago (1 edit)

Thank you for your advice. This was literally my first jam and also the third game I ever made so I thought I'd just stick with an executable for now XD.

As for your idea about the platforms, I'll definitely carry it out.

Either way, thank you for playing :)

JodacamSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

Good and cool concept, and fun but challenging game. The trick of one pair to stick to the theme it is really cool hahaha. Nice work!

Submitted

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago

Thank you man . I'm really happy you enjoyed it :)

MikaahSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

Confusing at the beginning but then I got the hang of it. Use Arrow keys guys!

When unzipping the folder is empty. Probably a problem on my site.

Bad PiggyDeveloper5 years ago

The zip I uploaded to itch contains the game in it's entirety. There is nothing missing whatsoever. Maybe you could try and unzip again or download the zip again ?
