Nice puzzle game, I got through the three levels after a couple attempts. Nice go for a jam game, I'd be interested to see more levels added.
It's a neat idea for a puzzle, but I ended up figuring out most of it by trial and error. Maybe being able to see the entire level would have helped, since I kept having to reset because I couldn't fit in a place that I didn't even know about when I picked up a bit. (Or maybe if there were more levels I would have learned to explore the whole level first, like I did on my second playthrough.)
The relation to the theme also kind of felt like a stretch to me. I guess it's that these bits are from a game that you're developing, but that's not really clear from anything within the game itself, without reading the description.
Very cool idea to combine platformer with a puzzle game. I thought the game was pretty intuitive although it would've been nice to see the "code" you need at the start, rather than walk to the end first.
nice one, just wanted to notice that I (and probably a lot more) prefer using w to jump and supporting both is not really a problem. also a bit of feedback which numbers are incorrect would be nice
Really cool puzzle game! Though I wish the first few levels are a little bit easier so the players could clearly understand every mechanics of the game.
The controls are not that great, it would be better to give the player the possibility to jump with w or up arrow. The game is quite short which is usual for a game jam, but the 2nd level is not obvious so it take some thinking before completing it. I really like the idea of getting bigger the more you collect bits, maybe another mechanic could be to be able to delete (definitively) the bottom of the stack, making new puzzles possible where you have to sacrifice some bits but in the correct order to get to some platform. Solid game overall, GG :)
Interesting puzzle platformer game that makes you think as you get closer and closer to the objective!
Fun puzzle game! really makes you think before acting.
I would like to have the sequence always on screen, i think that would make the game more enjoyable. Also at first i had a little trouble knowing how the order of the digits would be. But that was not a big deal.
Great entry :)
Fun little puzzle game! It would be nice if the sequence was known from the start, but otherwise it's pretty good!
This is a fun game with a really creative concept! I agree with one of the comments that said that the sequence should be known at the start, but I also don't mind exploring the levels first without a goal. Good game
Great game which makes you think more than you expect to! I love the idea of the player growing larger making it harder to enter areas as you collect more binary numbers. The only complain other than the ones already mentioned would be that I think the jump is a little too basic and could be improved for better game feel. Would love to see more levels!
Thanks for your feedback! I'll take that into account if I decide to keep working on the game thanks!
I really like how you get larger when you collect the 1s and 0s. I really think you should make it so you know the goal sequence at the beginning. Great job making this in 48 hours!
Thanks for your feedback! I'll definitely show the sequence at the beginning if I keep working on it past the jam!
actually very fun!
This is a pretty creative interpretation of the theme. It makes for a nice puzzle game. You have to think pretty carefully about which bits to pick up first, which I think adds a lot to what’s otherwise a fairly simple platforming game. Great job!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it !
Pretty neat! Few levels, but had fun playing it. Good job!
Thank you very much for your feedback!
Cool concept! It's simple and requires some thinking :))
Thanks for playing!
Very fun and original puzzle! I would love to see more! :D
Thanks for playing! Maybe I'll continue working on it past the jam!
amazing, I really hope that! <3
Unique and fun idea for a puzzler!
I love the mechanic that you grow by size, which makes you actually think and not just follow the combination needed - so the levels aren't as easy as they look in the first place.
Only suggestion would to give a way to see the combination at the start of the level, instead of me just rushing to the end, seeing the string, restarting and then thinking how to solve it.
Overall, super well done!
Thanks for your feedback! I'll indeed probably show the required outcome at the start in potential future versions!
Loved it! The puzzles really give a moment of "Aha!" when you figure out which bits to grab first. The levels are well-designed, would love to see more of it!
Thanks! I'm happy the puzzles worked as intended !
Fun little puzzle platformer! I wish there were more levels
I wish I had time to add more haha! Maybe I'll add more in the future !
