Very good for the first time! I don't get what the record button do... 

Developer

Yeah,it's not a record button... it's a pause button(also the flag restarts and the red sign turns off completely)

Congrats on your first game!

Developer

Thanks!I tried my best!

Good first game, if only a bit glitchy. I look forward to seeing what games you make in the future!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!I have a lot of ideas in mind, they'll just take some time, considering I'm starting to learn Game Maker Studio's s coding language.

I have the impression that we get 1 or 2 pixels into the floor, preventing us to jump. Tried to get enough velocity to run over the gap, but, unfortunately, it’s too wide.

Was curious about what happen when the villain reach the hero.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Yeah if you look in the collision(which is a separate object) you are a bit buried, for some reason the collision only works if you're with your feet buried on the ground.And I did find this(the "can't jump thing") when playtesting, just didn't know what 'caused it or how to stop it.

Great job on your first game! I think if you set/reached a max speed much quicker when running (especially since the levels are so short), it could make the game feel much less out of control. Congratulations on making a game, though!

Developer

Thanks!tbh is didn't have any idea when programming the velocity(is that how it's spelled?)of the character

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, it can get really complex, especially when you're trying to get it to feel just right. It felt like you added force to the character so they were acting in the physics system. A simple thing you can do is just set a max velocity, and then every frame, check if the characters velocity is greater than the max velocity. If it is, just set it back to the max velocity. That way, you can still accelerate and use the physics system, but you get to control just how fast the character can move. If you already know this stuff/already looked it up, sorry for the paragraph.

Developer

Thanks! Really grateful for that tip!

This is a great first game! I like the "twist" in the middle I was not expecting that.

Things to improve...

  • Use WASD for movement, it's more conventional.
  • The jump was a floaty and mechanical feeling. I could jump from the starting point to the end of the room.
  • Slow the character's speed when pushing an object.
  • Sounds. :D
Developer (1 edit)

Here's a respective response to each thing(also I'm sorry 'bout my spelling, not my native language...):

  • I completely forgot about WASD
  • The jump WAS floaty, but it's because I couldn't keep the player in the air for the correct amount of time; Either too floaty or the character would just go up and immediately downwards...
  • Getting the pushing collision to work was just luck, I didn't know how to do it correctly and took way more time than expected to program everything involving the box
  • Completely forgot about sounds, but even if I remembered I'd still be confused as I never composed music nor sound effects...

Quite buggy but this was still fun to test out.

A bit glitchy but a nice little game and concept!

Submitted(+1)

my jumped glitched the first time but after i reset I completed it and thought it was a cute idea, great first game!

Developer

thanks!

Developer

Hi! just wanted to say, before you play the game, I COMPLETELY forgot about the audio and only concentrated on the game being playable and fun.

Submitted(+1)

very glitchy, but nice idea. wish the puzzles were different instead of just doing everything backwards.

Developer

yeah,me too.I had a ton of ideas in mind, but i woudn't have time to do all of them;I even thought of boss battles!

Submitted

of course, this is scratch

Very short, but pretty good for a first timer! Keep learning and good luck :D

(+1)

Sadly, the game is very short, but its a good idea

(+2)

wasn't great as much as i was hoping the game could be alright it couldn't the controls were laggy/unresponsive and sometimes the jump didnt even work 3/10 

Developer(+3)

Thanks for being honest! Even though I'm a first-timer, I want people to be honest and give me constructive criticism and feedback, so I'm really thankful for you being honest with me!

Developer(+1)

Also just realized the contros are laggy/unresponsive 'cause I programmed the collision separate from the animation in two different objects("sprites") so that's what happened!About the jump dunno what happened but it happened to me as well when playtesting but I couldn't find what caused it so.....
