Super cool art style!

I wasn't able to move, even after several page refreshes. Fun music!

Developer

Did you get stuck after a few levels or were you not able to move at all?

Submitted(+1)

I clicked play and couldn't move. I heard some sound effects like I was trying to move.

Developer

That's pretty weird considering there is no sound for moving/landing. I'll look into it.

After a few restarts it was god to go. Overall love the vibe I feel like I am in a coffee house I don't know why.

Too bad, there seems to be an issue with the input. Had to refresh to get it to work but I couldn't move my character afterwards :(

I really like the art style, music and sound effects. However, I'm not sure the game is working properly since I couldn't scale down my player size to complete one of the levels. Overall great job for 4 days though!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing! I'm aware one of the levels is broken, it is completeable but you may have to restart the level a few times.

It isn't very clear to me why the player's size changes? Sometimes the portal does and other times it's the player position in the room? Cool concept though

I managed to get it working after refreshing, its a cool idea to shrink as you teleport, Sadly i didnt respawn after dying. Still good job for finishing, and i liked the cardboardy style!


if you wana try out my game its here! - https://aviv-youker-harel.itch.io/scales-of-olympus

There's a message at the start of the first level that tells you to press R to respawn but I get that you didn't see that since the game doesn't seem to work immideatly for some people

Unfortunately, I cannot move the character. Even in my game the character changes size.

Developer

I know there's a bug in Level 3 where you might get stuck under a ceiling that I wasn't able to fix in time. If you need to reset the stage, try pressing R

it didn't work ):

oh nevermind it's just that the camera isn't following the player so I can't see whats happening. The arts cool tho
