Nice Idea overall! Was a little slow for me and hard to restart after failing. Good job!

Good points! Thank you for your feedback :)

A very well made game, fits perfectly with the theme, and feels very smooth; good job! :D However it is very challenging and I wasn't able to get past the first few obstacles... :|  Anyways the game is very good, well done! :D

Also I would really appreciate it if you checked out my entry, Sheepherd Dog. Thanks in advance! :)

Developer

Just played it and reached an awesome 55 points with 42 sheep :)

Thank you for the feedback ;)

Thanks so much! That's way better than me :P

You're welcome :)

This game fits perfectly to the theme on so many levels! But it's quite hard, I think it could benefit from slightly increasing difficulty. But however this a great entry!

(+1)

Thank you so much for your feedback ;) Yes we totally aggree on the difficulty issues :D

I seem to be unable to play this - the game just goes at hyper-speed and then closes on me. I've captured it with gyazo so you can see what's happening. gyazo gif

I use an ultra wide monitor, 100Hz, gsync. I'm guessing that is interfering with the framerate or something? Unity can be a bit dodgy when it comes to that! ( I haven't rated it yet - I'll only rate it if I can play it properly otherwise it's unfair :) )

Wow, we just had quite a laugh with your footage :D I'm sorry that you had to go through this. That is definitly not they way it should look! Did you try out the WebGL build we uploaded today? It's exactly the same game but more accessable. Probably it works better as it is not fullscreen there :) https://craftler.itch.io/one-line-browser-build

Developer

We've seen a lot of funny things during development (especially when working on the physics) but this is better than everything we encountered xD Thank you for sharing the gif :P

tough as nails (high score of 14), great execution on everything, amazing adherence to the theme

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Wow, highscore of 14, I don't know if I ever got this good xD

Thanks for the feedback :P

See you in the comment section of your own game after I tested it :)

Super fun concept! I love how the music is only one note. I closed the game a few times on accident before I realised how the menu works :D Very challenging as well, great result!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback :)

You are not the only one who closed the game unwanted. In the new version we will make a continue to menu "button" at the end of the tutorial section to make sure the user knows how the menu buttons work before he is released into the menu :)

Realy good game with all the details

Loved the graphics but couldnt get used to the mechanics xd Max score after 10 tries: 2 :')

Developer(+1)

Thank you for giving our game a shot :)

What I myself struggle the most is to remember that you always switch sides before jumping. This is the twist which really changes things from a normal jump game but is really hard to come by xD

We really need some easier level patterns for people to get used to the controls :P

(+1)

Thank you for playing! Do not worry the mechanics are not very beginners friendly and the game starts hardcore from the very beginning :D This is definitly subject to improvement!

Submitted(+2)

Cool concept but I kept hitting a bug where all the obstacles would disappear, it would thank me for playing then quit.  Bugs are to be expected in jams though and I can see that this deserves a good rating :)

Developer

Well this is the intended behavior when you roll over the exit-letters in the menu, but you are not the first one who reported that kind of behavior appearing pretty much all the time although we never experienced this ourselves (Although the menu is a bit buggy at times xD).

Many thanks for the feedback! :)

Big well done to you :) ! The game fits extremely well the theme, and I love the sound effects and simple gameplay. I would have perhaps made the ball jump a little higher to give the player a bit more time to press 1 when in the air.
But all in all great work, keep it up

Thank you so much! Actually I did not really expect you to play test our game as you might be overwhelmed with people showing you their games :D Your Feedback means a lot to us and we will definitly keep your remarks in mind! Cheers!

Really good game. Fun, litle hard... just perfect

Thank you! We appreciate your feedback and are glad that you had a little fun :)

Great game, like to see it on the iPhone.
I would give 5 stars to design! Very simple but elegant. Only one button was used and the UI and the Menu and the smash move, love it!
Personally, it would be better that makes the difficulty curve more smoothly. It's too difficult for me now.
Excellent!

Thank you so much foor your lovely feedback! We totally agree with the difficulty issues :D We will also consider a post jam mobile edition with a better progression system! 

Submitted(+2)

Neat game concept although a tad bit difficult maybe due to the level design but that's understandable given it was made during a game design. I would appreciate it if you checked out my game as well, thanks: https://mark-auman.itch.io/one-shot-in-the-chamber

Thank you! Yes the difficulty curve is definitely subject of improvement :D I returned the favor :)

Submitted(+2)

Very very nice concept but I wish the game had bigger jump, cause it's a very hard game

Developer

We really appreciate the feedback :) Following all the comments we will tweak the difficulties in feature. We wanted something like difficulty progression right from the start anyway, but we didn't manager to implement that in the 48 hours.

What do you mean with bigger jump btw? There are obstacles (The long spike and the double box) that are not meant to be avoided with jumps but with a swap or in the case of the boxes also with a smash, so if the jumps were higher they would fail their purpose. Or did you mean to make the jumps just last longer so that they are easier to time?

Anyways ty again for giving our game a shot :)

Cool game ! Brilliant design concept. Most impressive UI i've ever seen (btw how can you implement that ?). Some input : the difficulty is pretty hard, maybe consider level design progress so player can adapt.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback :) Yes I guess we definitely need to do something about the difficulty. We had different difficulty obstacle patterns in mind so we can spawn easier ones first but we were pretty close to the deadline and had to postpone that idea :P One thing we also played around with was camera position, because it feels much easier the earlier you see the obstacles you need to avoid.

Implementation wasn't too easy because we were not able to use unitys build in physics (Because of the curved line) and had to more or less implement a new 'curvy' coordinate system. The UI is basically just a bunch of gameobjects living in that 'curved world' with colliders on them :P

(+2)

Awesome concept, phenomenal presentation, but too difficult. Still impressive though, especially with how you did those menus where the text matches the line!

Developer

Thank you for giving our game a shot :)

We already have so many new ideas for the game that we can't wait to implement and that's also thanks to the feedback of all of you ;)

Submitted(+2)

Very cool game, though very difficult too. I like that you even had the mechanic as the menu screen, that's a nice touch

Developer

Thank you for the feedback :)

Funny story about the menu: Sometimes people have problems with the menu because they miss the tutorial at the beginning and then don't know how they use  the menu (or exit the game)  and are trapped in an endless start-death-loop xD

We really need to make sure everyone is aware of the controls before they are released into the menu :P

Submitted(+2)

Pretty good game. The concept is terrific (the way you guys integrate the menus with the core mechanic blew my mind). The game is hard, four was my best score. I also like the presence of the 1 everything: the visuals, the control, the music. Great game.

(+1)

Wow we really appreciate your positive feedback! Yes, we really need to start the game a little easier :'D 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback and four can be considered a pretty solid score with the current difficulty I guess. At least I also always get around four and I designed the level patterns (Which should have been a hint to make them easier I guess... xD).

Submitted (2 edits) (+2)

Very cool. Simple mechanic that runs through the whole game and even through the menu. Very clever. For my taste it was a bit too difficult, I never got very far and it took me a long time to tighten the controls.
But visually and from the general look and feel very mature for 48 hours. Good work!

Would love to also get some feedback :)

https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462544

Thank you for your feedback! Yes the level design is not very beginners friendly which happend due to lacking time after game mechanic developement :'D We will improve the progression and have already a bunch of other improvements for post Jam Editions :)

Already gave you some feedback, also! 

Submitted(+2)

Pretty cool :)

Thank you, I really enjoyed your game idea as well -> See Rating and Feedback :)
