In the beginning it was hard to get used to the controls and get the knack of the game. But after dozens of falls it started being quite fun. The concept is very interesting and the game is definitely challenging.
It would have been cool to make a little tutorial Level to get the controls :-)
I really liked the fact that connecting more wires into the light bulb it's making more Light in the game.
I'm not sure this should stay as a platformer tho. Would be maybe nice as a top down game as well I can imagine.
Nice concept.
For the next time don't forget for us it's first time we play the game so it is always good to explain the controls and make an easier level at start to understand the core concept :-)
Nice visuals and music by the way the fit well together which is a rare thing into jams so far.
Cheers,
The world is dark and there is nothing beneath it. I know this because I can't see very far and also because I've fallen 26 times. I have began to understand that you can rope with a click and that I can dangle with the hook so I don't have to jump into the deep dark bellow, I am starting to connect the dots very literally.
13 falls later I now can see the trail of light I have left. I swing from the light into the final platform just a jump shy of the final node, I can already taste my victory. I am the light and nothing will get in my way. The trail is connected and as the world zooms out I see the connections make a smiley face. I am Shokey Bulb Jr. and this is my domain! Victory is short lived...
There is no floor. I know this because I have fallen and its dark. Who knows how many falls await but victory shall once more be mine.
I am hooked and want to see this game to completion. It's a bit of a chore getting to know the controls but there is a lot of charm and I'm willing to put in the work. I see some promise, but I see more of a challenge. Good job on getting to the Game jam.
This is the best comment i've read in my life.
AMAZIN GAME!! Finally a challenging game I can play whilst enjoying the music. It takes time to grasp the controls, but I really do enjoy the challenge
Thank you!
This is game is very hard but once you get a grasp of the controls its super satisfying to play through. I think if the ropes levels came out quicker it would be a lot easier to play but this was actually very fun to play through.
Very tricky to control, but it looks amazing, good job!
can't get to connect to the third bulb, seems really cool but the ropes are too slow
You should release the music, I love it. If you can make your own art to suit the theme of the game, that would be even better. The controls take some time to familiarize though. Interesting concept, well done!
Crispy, flowee game design. Super fun difficulty. The music really keeps you hooked and enjoying each level. Well thought mechanics. Potential hidden gem. Definitely a strong contender. Also, a good dose of indie game nostalgia. These guys are no joke!!!
really nice concept, but the movement is a bit icey, nice try and gj
Thank you very much, yeah, we realized the hook mechanic executes slower on some cases, its a shame, we enjoyed the process allot thank you very much!
Really challenging game hahaha, the sound was a little bit loud to me but overall great work!
Thank you very much!
Excellent game execution, challenging and in harmony with the music created. Love the creativity and concept. In a nutshell, wow.
Thank you for playing, your comment alone was worh not sleeping in 48 hours! :D
Impressive! I really enjoyed the immersion I got from the music and the ambiance. Thought it was creative the way you guys used darkness, being able to create intresting figures before you can even realize! Congratulations!
Thank you fellow jammer! im glad you liked it it was a very fun process.
Everything you said X 100!!
Shocky Bulb jr. smile was so cute! The art was very fitting for the game. I was bopping to the music the whole time! Very nice!
I really like the music! The controls are a bit finicky, and it can be hard to connect to a new light (sometimes the rope won't connect to you), but cool game.
Thank you very much ! im sorry you couldn play the hole game the hook works on some computers and is too slow on others, i hope i can update it so i can fix that its a very challenging but fun game.
You guys rock!
