Cool ideas, charming art style and great execution! However, sometimes the jump doesn't work and maybe the introduction to the gravity mechanic is a bit hard. Overall very solid game!
Thanks for playing and for your feedback!
This was very fun. I love the puzzles you cam up with using this mechanic, and once you get the hang of them it's very enjoyable to form a plan and then be able to execute on it. That being said, I have a few critiques:
1) Something when you gain the abilities to let you know, I walked into the first guy for almost a minute before realizing I could now jump.
2) Sometimes the character wouldn't jump when I hit space, although the other abilities worked all the time.
Thanks for playing and for your feedback! I definitely agree there should be some animation or something to let you know you got a power, you're not alone in experiencing that unfortunately. Also we saw that jump bug post-release, I think it's when you teleport and clip up out of the environmental collision box that your jump doesn't reset? We have something funky with our logic there. Thanks again!
I love the comic-y art style, and the game mechanics were really fun and creative! It was really cool how you had the player repeat some earlier sections after getting more powers to see how they were changed, and I loved how the powers served to both help and hinder the player. One thing that might have made it a bit more enjoyable would be to reduce the amount of precision jumping and timing required, and figure out a way to make it feel more like a puzzle than just a platforming challenge, although I think for the most part the platforming focus worked as well. Great game!
Thanks for playing and for your feedback! Some of the final levels / rooms weren't as finely tuned as the first couple due to time constraints, but this is definitely something we'll keep in mind going forward!
Your game was super fun ! I love the way you could change abilities it was actually super entertaining xD music was on point too
Thanks so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed my time playing your game.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks :D
I really liked your game! The animation was smooth and the power-ups stacking really made the character feel out of control.
Thanks for playing!
this is just super creative and i really liked the artstyle
Thank you! We're glad you enjoy the game.
This was a really fun game! I struggled to see how it was out of control at first but I quickly realised that it got very out of control. The physics puzzles were really fun and I had a great time trying to work out how to time my spacebar uses to not kill myself. I died a lot of times but I made it to the end. Great job!
Thanks for playing! Glad the dying did not dissuade you :D
This is a very fun game and I love your character and level design.
I was looking forward to learning what each subsequent super power was, and it was quite fun discovering each new one.
Some parts were unfortunately a bit finnicky and glitchy and did hamper what is otherwise a fantastic game and idea. With some polish this could be one of the best games of the jam. Great work!
Thanks for playing! We're glad you enjoyed the super powers, anticipating the next was exactly what we were hoping for in players. Did you have any specific bugs or glitches that come to mind, or just like the general feel of each room? Thanks again!
This was really fun!
I was a bit confused at first but then it was really great.
The music went well and the game was fun!
I liked flying with the gravity + moveable objects, although it was hard to control ;)
Only thing that bothered me a bit:
There were some edges on the floor where I couldn't walk over without jumping which made it a bit frustrating at some points. They looked as if it should work!
Great game! :)
You're RIGHT! The pipes, right? So irritating lol. We found that bug very late in development since during playtesting we usually just jumped and TPd everywhere. At that point we decided it wasn't worth to change the player to a capsule collider as it might cause other bugs, but in hindsight we probably could've just changed the pipe hitbox. Thanks for your feedback and for playing!
Yes the pipes! And also later there was a really small edge which stopped me once... but it was alright!
I still very much enjoyed the game :)
Great idea. This could definitely be expanded upon and developed further.
Thanks for playing!
the game is fun, as you said on the game site, the game bugged to me too, so I downloaded the patched version, which should not count, but I hope you didnt changed the game. The concept is fun, I had some problems in a few rooms/levels in with the spikes right above you and the platform moving. The platform was supposed to block your jump, but for a longer while I thought it will kill me, since it was the same color as the spikes. Overall it s fun concept executed pretty well. Great work :)
Thanks for your feedback! The game was not changed at all in the patched version besides a small hotfix for the game-breaking bug that some people were experiencing. We understand that you can't change submissions though, so definitely feel free to rate us just on the original version. Also regarding the spike color, that is a good point we hadn't thought of. We'll be sure to try to find a way to make the spikes pop more. Thanks for playing!
Your game is amazing. I like the theme of having uncontrolled super power. It is very original, the art and music and the levels work together nicely. I wish the game was longer. Keep up your great work!
There was a lot of content we wished we could've fit in! Thanks for your kind words and glad you enjoyed it :D
That was really fun! Loved how out of control it got. I killed myself too many times :D The art and music is great too.
Good job!
Thanks for playing :D
This game is very cool! I enjoyed it, it's a really clever concept, after a bit it starts feeling really out of control hahaha! good job! rated! please check out my game too :D
Thanks for playing! Just left a comment on yours, that 3D is insane!!
Really fun take on the theme! It's a great concept with amazing art and music!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it 😀
That's very inventive and really subtle (while being totally over the top, clearly). I love how much control you've got over all your abilities just from a single button. Haven't seen anything like this before. I kinda wish it was a bit easier, but I love it anyway!
Thanks for playing! With our controls being so weird we realized that us as devs have just gotten used to them. We tried to keep it simple for new players but found we may have still left things a bit tough in some areas 😁 Glad you enjoyed it despite this!
It gets some getting used to but it gets better the further you go! Music and art were stellar as well. I can see this being a great game after some post-jam polishing!
Thanks for the kind words and for playing!
Really cool idea, great art style with nice character animations and the music fit perfectly for the game love it :)
Thank you for playing and glad you enjoyed!
The music and art are really great. The game as a whole feels impressively polished. The gameplay is really fun with all the powers getting out of control really quickly. The level design was also really smart, that part where the corridor with spikes at the top was repeated, but with the added laser superpower and purple enemies, felt like something Mark would analyse in a video. Great job overall!
Thanks so much for playing, glad you enjoyed it! Here's hoping that IS something Mark analyses LOL
