Cool idea! Would have loved some more levels but I like what's there.
very cute game. it felt satisfying and intuitive to play. i like the van halen reference!
Hey, nice idea and fun while it lasts, great job!
I second the idea that the dangers came up a bit quick, maybe zoom out a bit? The physics can be a bit janky where at times I couldn't jump because I was stuck up against something I would have been able to jump over. Nits though, nice game!
I finished all three levels. :)
Loved the concept. It gave me sonic vibes for some reason.
Neat concept, I recommend for a game like this to add some background graphics to kind of 'hint' to the player what they may have to do next or throw some coins in a path a la kaizo mario so they naturally head for the right direction. Or zoom out - but you want to give them a fighting chance. Nice work! :D
nice game, kinda reminds me of the game 'bounce' for the nokia phone... also u might want to consider adding jump buffering, to make the jumping feel smoother (˶˃⤙˂˶)
You're the second person to make that comparison haha. Jump buffering is a good suggestion. Thanks for playing!
Short and sweet game. Would be nice if there were more levels!
Umm…I beat this in one minute, so I’m a bit confused, but I’m pretty sure this was good! The levels where well designed and the size changing mechanic was fun. The visuals are not the best, but I can’t really say they’re bad. Pretty good work nonetheless!
Nice game! Good platformer. I would advise adding reset button, beause I have to restart all game to restart level but it's not critical. Great job!
There's a reset level option in the pause menu, but its not a bad idea to bind it to a button. Thanks for playing!
Oh, sorry, I didn't see this option
Frantic fast-paced gameplay! I think this is a great concept and would love to see it explored further, with more mechanics relating the different ball sizes. Had a rollin’ time!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Enjoyed it a lot, it's bit weird when the ball hits a wall, and sometimes there is a delay when trying to jump again right after landing, but the overall games feels pretty good to play and well designed.
that third level was exhilarating! well done
The movement is smooth and dynamic, excited gameplay, there's a bit frustuation that when the ball bumps into the wall it's not possible to reaccelerate
Thanks for the feedback, I was torn between the ball moving at a constant velocity the entire time vs having the player control it at all times.
I like it. Simple premise and game feels nice to play. The 3rd level was designed well, having different parts for different sized balls.
Thank you and thanks for playing! I left a comment on your submission as well
Nice short game! Theme is well implemented. I do wish you were able to zoom out a bit more, so I don't have to remember as much lol! Other than that, well done! Would like to see this get updated with more levels after the jam!
Thanks for the feedback! We'll experiment with the camera zoom and try to find a better balance haha
First thought that came to my mind when I saw the game, was bounce, the game on old Nokia phones, where the ball can get smaller or bigger! Good old days. Your games feels like a new version of that and very much more fast paced. Would love to see more levels, with traps and objects to collect. Great work!
Thanks for playing! I hadn't heard of Bounce, but I checked it out and I agree with the comparison haha
Fun game a concept! Good use of the theme. Wish there were more lvls so I could play more haha. Well done!
Thanks for the comment! I wish there were more levels too haha, I feel like we had a lot more potential for level design but just ran out of time. Really enjoyed your submission as well!
Neat mechanics, though I found that I couldn't jump when against a wall. Could be cool with a shapeshifting character, like a Tanuki.
Yeah, I was intending to pull a kill zone there, but didn't have a way to communicate that to the player, so felt too unfair. Did you submit a game? I'd love to give it a play if you did
I don't have a game yet, still learning Godot. I may participate in GMTK's Game Jam next year.
I see, good luck! Godot is very rewarding to learn. Looking forward to playing your game next year!
Cool game. Finished all three levels.
Thanks for playing and rating! I wish we had more time to make some more levels haha. I had a blast with your game!
