A bit of a weird game, it's like a mix of VVVVV and The Stanley Parable. I touched the cherry :P
There are some very creative mechanics in this game, but it also has a couple of issues. I really like the float mechanic, and I used mainly that to finish the game. I was not clear what [C] does, and I didn't need to use super speed even once.
Some possible improvements:
- Make it so some segments can only be finished by using [C] or Super speed, if you can't do it I'd just eliminate them completely
- Checkpoint system, make it so the player respawns at predesigned checkpoints. Currently it seems like its done in a way where the last time you safely touched a wall it's your respawn point. I was able to brute force this several times to work in my favour by just spamming movement randomly(I could set my respawn on spikes). This also caused some issues where I would die 10 times in a row in a second as well haha
And finally a bug I saw was, when I was in inverted gravity mode, the bird was saying something to me but it's text was black. I guess you modified some parent node and that affected the text. I was not able to read what the bird says in both occassions :(
Thank you for the feedback, when the rating period is over, I will try to update my game and add some of the stuff you described, just saying, what [C] mode does is that you can no longer jump on the ground but need to go on a wall to jump, to be able to jump off a wall you need to move towards the wall and hold the left or right key that your already holding plus the up key, like that you will stick to the wall. Then you can let go of the left or right key and it will make you jump up (sometimes you may have to press the opposite key to get it working). It's definitely a complicated concept that I came up with and it would be hard to place it in two or three lines of text. The thing about the bird text is somewhat intentional. If you went into super speed mode you would see that the bird's text and appearance would be multi-colour/chromatic. I don't know, I will still consider it too.
I'm glad that you enjoyed the game.
Hey, I really had fun playing this game. I'm glad those spikes were not too deadly, by the time I got to the end I had more than 350 booboos! :(. It made me laugh out loud a few times (cheered me up after my meh day).
Don't think I've seen this controls/concept combo before - very unique. Also very happy that my pet couldn't get crushed. I didn't really need to use the climb the wall or the bounce off the wall ability I don't think. I liked the idea of the audio switching to match the changed environment and well done for making the graphics feel alive - overall, it came together to give you a charming game!
Well done!
Thank you very much I also thought that booboos would be a funny and original way of calling deaths. I'm glad that you liked it.
Hello there, strange thing to upload the pck as a separete file, would be better if you uploaded the files zipped for each platform, in case somebody misses the pck file. Finished it, picked true game and cherry, liked the surreal artstyle and sound, liked the bird mascot, didn't use the stick to the wall too much. Congrats and keep jamming!
Thank you very much, I'm glad that you like it, I would like to upload it as a .zip but since it is past the deadline I don't know if I could because the rules say no re-upload after the deadline except for "GAME BREAKING BUG FIXES" but I'll remember for next time! I really appreciate the feedback!
:)
