FANTASTIC. Best game I've seen so far in the jam. The sprite art is sublime (is there some tweening done with AI?) Controls are tight.
But man it is SOOOOO PUNISHING with really little room for error. And the levels kind of go on for a while although each level displays a very different idea. At least a restart is quick and not too far away.
Made it to the end though (that last bit is just - omg plz kill me already)
I'd say there's some minor stuttering at parts which really kill the game, otherwise, no gripes.
Oh wow the presentation here is stellar! The art and animations especially are sooo so good.
I also love the gameplay. My favourite levels were the ones with the iWindows. That combined with the virus pressing keys can create some really cool situation.
I do think the level design could be a little more interesting in? Quite a few of them, especially the later ones, feel like they underuse the mechanics and become a very standard (but very good and VERY pretty) precision platformer.
Amazing game! one of the best so far, i love the concept! also the art and the audio are amazing, very good job, please continue this project! Please check out my game too :D
You don't need me to tell how how phenomenal this game is.
I love the animation when you die and restart. The wall jumping feels a little weird but I like the virus that can block or press keys for me.
Really nice game. I loved both the audio and the visuals
Marvelous game, The presentation is amazing and the main character reminds me of Yung Venuz :)
This is just drop-dead gorgeous, both the audio and visuals.
The platforming feels pretty good, though I missed coyote jumping and wall jumping with the wall direction blocked is just weird. A lot of the levels would probably be more fun without such restrictions. The puzzly ones were great, but once it got to skill based lvls, than I'd probably have more fun with regular platforming.
Also, there's just too many levels for a jam game IMO. I got thru 2 worlds which took quite a while.
THIS. IS. AMAZING. Just...WOW. Perfect job. Perfect!
This game makes me go YES! Great presentation!
Just WOW, all of it is excellent! the art, animations, sounds, music, mechanics, etc. are very well made. I love the idea of something take over the controls and makes it even harder. The fact that the level design are just great, the new mechanic introduction, the difficulty is just perfectly balanced! This should be on the top 10 no doubt about it.
The theme, aesthetics, graphics and sounds are amazing, I really like it, and it's so well done. My one criticism is that the difficulty ramps up too quickly to my taste, and the controls aren't tight enough to accommodate that. I ended up losing patience and gave up. But I'm still blown away by how well done everything else is! I like that some tiles get different uses depending on what controls you have available, and what buttons the virus press.
Amazing Art! Fun gameplay! You get a lot of milage from the control gimmick. Good job!
The art is great and the number of levels is incredible for a 48 hour game.
It took me 40 minutes to beat, which is by far the longest I've spent on any of the jam games I've tried. I did a lot of times on the last level.
Great work, the art is amazing!
Good job, Is really fun to play
Great job. The visuals are fantastic and it's definitely not for the faint of heart. It feels like a more pure platformer version of the game I made (which is more puzzle platformer).
Amazing art style, the game is really 'tricky' at points and it's a little hard to get a handle on when the virus is going to press a key, but everything else about the presentation is top notch. Your team did a fantastic job!
This might have been one of my favorites, the art style really complimented the feel of the game and the mechanics were really fun to play with!
Very original idea. I find the setting very fitting. The amount of polish put in is simply astonishing. The little idle animation arrowy boi does when not moving is soo cute. The art is <3. In level "Aristhrottle" there is a bug where when you fall from the eyes at the bottom you don't die.
