Great game! I loved the art and the characters, it gave the game so much personality. The game is also a relatively short but challenging rage game, or at least moderately rage, which is a genre I enjoy a pretty good amount. Unfortunately, I did encounter a few problems with the game:

  • Starting with the controls, it was a little finnicky. I understand that in a game where the controls are the difficulty, it's not meant to be easy to control, but the jumping still felt pretty inconsistent. Sometimes I'd go short, far, or in a different direction despite holding down the same button for the same time. 
  • The toasters and water sections also suffered from a lot of this same inconsistency, but were mostly pretty predictable.
  • Unfortunately, the wall jumps were the worst of this, where you really couldn't tell whether or not it would work, because a lot of times it wouldn't.
  • This ones a bit unrelated, but at regular-ish intervals the game would sort of pause for about a second, and I'm not quite sure what was causing it. The rain also seemed to restart from the clouds whenever this happened, so it's not just some visual freezing. It didn't take away from my enjoyement from the game, but I just thought it would be good to mention the bug for the future.

It may have seemed like I had a lot of problems, but the only problem I really had were some of the controls, so I actually really enjoyed this game. Very good job!

Amazing work on your game, the art and the character were very charming.

The controls were pretty weird, I found them too random to be predicted, especially on the toasters, I would most of the time just be flung downwards instead of to one of the sides if I tried to lean in one direction. The camera also didn't help. If just a tiny bit of the bread boy passed through a hole, even if I didn't fall down yet, the camera would just move places, and stay there until I restarted.

The checkpoint system really helped, but if you want to go the Getting Over It's route, you'll unfortunately have to get rid of it. The game would fit perfectly on the genre, but it's your call if you want to go that route. Congrats on the game!

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I really struggled getting the movement predictable because of how random Godot physics are haha, I tried my best though. Yeah I’ve found that with jam games, if there is no checkpoint system, people won’t want to try again from the start and they’ll give up. Thanks!

Some camera movement was a little buggy ,but other part are just great, though I don’t enjoy the struggling , made me mad at my keyboard :)

Developer

Cool concept and nice story telling :D

Controls feel a bit hit or miss, but that could just be me :D

Developer

Thank you! :) It’s definitely not just you hahah, it takes a while to get a hang of them, and they could be explained better in-game.

Besides a few camera issues and the walljump being slightly inconsistent, i loved this entry. It very much reminded me of getting over it and that frustrating yet rewarding gameplay. Best of luck!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! Yeah the camera issues are frustrating, I spent most of the final day finishing off the levels rather than bug-fixing haha :)

Really cool game. I love the intro cut scene, and the main character. The game is full of charm with the soft body toast character giving off little statements and the different pieces of death text. Nice job. I found the game very challenging. I was able to get the first upgrade but after that I really struggled. 

Developer

Thank you for the kind comment :) The game definitely ended up more challenging than I intended.
