Nice job! I really enjoyed the way the platforming felt. I thought those tiny platforms would be too hard to jump on, but I managed to do it. Really enjoyed the last level. The background art was really lovely too. I thought the idea of the computer slipping off the desk was pretty funny. Maybe when the player dies, a fist should slam down on the desk knocking it to the side a bit. 😄
Thank you so much! Really great idea.
The whole premise of playing a platformer while the display slowly moves to is death is very novel, and it's such a fun take on the theme. The movement mechanics are quite nice, though admittedly it took me a while to realize you could double jump. I like the parallax you got going (but I noticed in level 8 that it sometimes bugs out), and I agree with other people that this game could benefit from better menu controls. I also wish there would be a crashing sound whenever the monitor falls off. Nice work!
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
A very interesting game! The only suggestion I can provide is that it might not be a bad idea to have a way to change between keyboard and mouse and controller input map for the menu.
Yep. A lot of people don’t like the menu system. Thanks fo the feedback!
Nice little platformer. Controlling the character is quite pleasant, and the graphics are pretty. But the menu controls are definitely confusing at first
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
I like the parallax effect, cute game! To add to other comments I would say sounds need some tweaking (jump sound is a bit too loud imo).
Thanks for the comments!
Had to read the instructions to know how to play on keyboard/mouse. Maybe the UI buttons could be left as usable with the mouse? Some tricky platforming but I managed to pass most of the levels and I'm not even good at platformers. :) The background art is probably my favourite part. Nice submission!
Thanks for your thoughts! I did try to have mouse input for the UI. Sadly, it was not working, as I was displaying the game on the computer through a viewport, and for some reason it wasn’t working. The buttons worked fine in the actual game scene, but the viewport just messed it up. Hope you had fun!
nice platformer! Not sure why the monitor is off to the right though
Thanks for the feedback! The monitor is off to the right because it slides to the left, and eventually falls off the table.
Beautiful art, especially the parallax background 🖼
However, the camera seems to glitch behind the main character by 1 frame, it’s very annoying.
I didn’t get too far because the jump (I used controller) is extremely unreliable, it doesn’t seem to register sometimes when directional input is also provided. I don’t think this is a Godot export bug, because our game is very similar in controls (it also has parallax bg) and the jump works normally in browser. I assume this is an improper input handling/logic.
Finally, the falling monitor is brilliant and I give 5 stars for originality :)
Congratz!
Thanks for the feedback! The controls are more reliable for desktop versions. I’m not sure why, but if you want a better experience go ahead and download it. Glad you enjoyed the art!
Tried playing in Firefox. I can't get past the main menu. The buttons don't react to my mouse (or detection is offset). The space bar seems to trigger the press animation, but still nothing happens. Does this only support using a controller?
The buttons never worked with the mouse. The keyboard instructions are in the description, and you should be able to press enter to get past main menu.
Thanks for pointing that out. Using 1-8 to select levels worked. Played a few levels, then jumped ahead to level 8, and that's when I noticed the monitor moving toward the edge of the desk. Nice work.
Thanks!
The game played really well and the controls have a nice fell, but I think you could have explored the theme more.
Maybe you could’ve made the environment interact with the PC more (like earthquakes making it shake), or make the computer have some sort of virus that makes it unstable to use.
Congrats on submitting!
Thanks for the feedback! I really liked your game too.
