Nice little metroidvania! Minimalistic artstyle is pretty good. But sounds are a bit too loud and there's no audio settings... Some rooms are challenging but not too frustrating! Fine balance.
Thanks!! Glad you like it.
Well made! Only thing to add is that the message disappear once you first leave the room. And sometimes you accidentally enter the room and exit immediately (I did, anyway) and then you don't get to read the message :(
Thanks!!
This way you have to play the game again if you want to read to them. No, seriously, that was the only quick and easy solution I could think of at the time, at first I had a Timer but I didn't like having to wait to stop seeing the message.
Excelent. I love metroidvanias and this one is really well made. Small messages on some screens made the feeling of progress more enjoyable
Thanks! That was just the intention of the messages
Great game, I like how the mechanic go deeper instead of going for wider.
I like the theme, but listening to it on repeat without stopping is kinda annoying.
Thanks!
The song is the first one that I do in all my life and I love that you notice it, I know it is short but believe me if I tell you that for those 30s that the song lasts I spend more than 3 or 4 hours. Composing music is more complicated than I thought.
Nice metroidvania, perhaps a bit hard at times. But I have one serious gripe: Can all of you QWERTY gamedevs please respect that there are keyboard layouts where Z and X are not next to each other? I’m getting cramps from playing games with Z & X keys on my QWERTZ keyboard. Thanks.
Thanks for playing even though the Z and X keys are not together on your keyboard. The game has 2 or 3 very difficult levels and with your handicap it had to be like hell, sorry. (-_-;)
That's one of those little things that no one ever counts on.
Sorry for being so harsh, it was a bit of a rant because I’ve been facing this problem in a lot of games.
You can use alt + maj to swap from a keyboard to another, normaly you can swap to qwerty by default on windows but you might have to twerk some settings.
Why just why is it so hard to complete the dam parkour. Is it because I'm a boomer? Great game love the unlocking moves :))
I suppose you mean the level that leads to the room where the super jump is, yes, it is difficult, but you can always go the other way, that is why I left that level in the game XD
Got really addicted to this game, and had a lot of rage moments, but was really fun and unique! Good job!
thx!!
Hey there,
I've played it longer that expected, was hooked to it. Really nice job on the simplicity of the design for the game.
My only concern is the controls are a bit off, but all in all it was a fun game.
Cheers!!!
Thanks for playing
How do they seem a bit off? Just asking because I want to improve them.
based on my personal preference. Im used to having the jump button be space.
ah ok, thanks for the reply. I thought it was something related to a bug or some kind of weird movement
nice game
I really liked this one, I completed it. :D
Good job!
What does the large number mean, though? XD
Lol nothing, I just wrote random numbers to see if anyone was trying to find meaning for them.
At first I was going to write coordinates of something funny in google maps but after 15 min searching, I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if I put random numbers.
that actually sounds like a neat idea!
I was having a hard time with controls, so couldn't make it past the block climbing level. Sorry!
This is an impressive amount of mechanics and design for such a short period. Nice job!
Thanks for the feedback
What didn't you like about the controls? I'm just asking because I want to improve them.
It's awesome you like to hear feedback!
I often found myself jumping when I wanted to shoot, and shooting when I wanted to jump. I think it has to do with the key assignments. I'm just throwing this out there, but what if you fired discretely from movement? Like, using the arrows to fire in 4 directions,while moving separately with WASD? I dunno, something like that :)
Yes, I think I know what kind of controls you mean, ejejeej I hate those kinds of controls o(╥﹏╥)o , but lately I see them in a lot of games. I grew up with Mario and a jump button and a shoot/run button is what I'm used to.
I think the solution would be a configuration window for the controls.
Thank you for answering.
nice art but hard to play
Very well done but I get stuck at 6219562471912 for almost 30 minutes.
hahaha yes 6219562471912 is quite difficult, I reached the same conclusion when I tested it. I left it that way because it is not necessary to go through that room, I thought that people would turn around and try it from the other side XD
What have I just done...
I made it! The game really did feel like a mental prison at some points, but reaching the end made the struggle worth it.
Thanks!!
I was a bit worried that maybe no one would make it to the end because some of the rooms are very difficult, but knowing that at least one person has made it to the end makes me very happy
