The look of this game is really Top Notch! How the levels are integrated into tv guide is brilliant! I did struggle with the gameplay at times, but overall, and very interesting concept! Good work!

Submitted

The concept is really cool and I really like how you can switch through different channels and progress through the game on different channels. I think maybe if there was an indicator to see how each platform translates to the different level that would have made the game a bit easier to play. But overall very fun game!

I was a really cool theme and I like the concept. I had a little trouble figuring out where to go at times but overall enjoyed it.

Submitted

great game! I loved that the music changed when you changed the channel, but it was always the same tune.

Submitted

Really unique idea. The static effect when the channels change is great. Had some trouble with the controls. Tighten them up and it'll be a great game

Such a good concept! I loved it! Well done! The after-effects are superb 😁

Submitted

this is a really cool concept!! changing the channel felt really cool thanks to the CRT effect and synced up music tracks, but unfortunately at a certain point i just couldn't figure out which channel i was intended to progress in. nonetheless the game is really really cool and y'all should be proud :)

Really cool idea but I don't know if the invisible platforms are intentional but it made it very difficult to try and play still really cool game good job.

Submitted

It was interesting to play. Great idea and good mechanics! Good job!

Please check my game as well ;)

I really liked the concept though there were some issues with platforms either not being visible (but you still didn't fall down) or where you hovered way above where the visual for the platform was.

The first second I didn't really get what was going on in the menu but then when the text said that I could change channels it all clicked and I was pleasantly surprised! Unique and cool concept, guys :-)

It's a very cool idea, but unfortunately I didn't manage to figure out the game. You can also fly here thanks to invisible walls, their collider updates the jump, so you can go through levels without switching channels.

Level is too big and the screen is too small to figure out where you should be going half the time, this is not helped by the 80s television filter curving the screen and making everything so hard to see. The colors of the platform blends into the background which is normal, but make them incredibly hard to spot when you are switching between channels every 2 seconds to try and see where you should be going.

Some backgrounds (like the iron factory) have lines that are straight, just to add to the confusion that you can't see where the hell the platforms are at.

Other than that, I would say the it's a bit weird to use this particular idea for this theme, but the execution is well enough.

The art is amazing
