Fun little game! I loved the 3D illusion with the cylindrical view. The art and controls are great as well. The only thing I’d wish for is more sound effects. But overall, it's impressive considering the time constraints
WOAH that was cool! I really liked the visuals of this game!
Never saw a platformer wrapped in a tower. Great idea! The art is neat.
I wish I was able to open the doors to go through :)
Beetles were hard, I would say. A few times they killed me, and I didn’t understood why. I was jumping on them at that moment.
The only problem I had was that I started to feel dizzy in the end. It’s super cool as an idea for a special challenge, but playing a longer game like this would be hard.
I must admit you were the first to call them beetles! hahaha I voted for an ant, my girlfriend is sure it's a spider, and my game jam partners called them cockroaches ! hahaha
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
That was extremely cool! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game exactly like this, with the 2d game on a 3d environment. Looking forward to digging through your repo to see how you accomplished that!
I would have loved to see some more mechanics, but totally understandable given the time limit. Great work, great art too!
I'm glad you enjoyed! Don't hesitate to message me if you need help understanding the code 😊
We made the game in 2D, with a fixed camera that gets the whole stage. Then we output this 2D to a texture using a Viewport node, and apply it (as a texture) to a cylinder mesh (the tower). It was a clever idea from @miphos !
That's how it looks:
Nice! Viewports are definitely something I haven’t touched (and probably should). Guess that’s my goal for next jam lol.
They are super useful! I edited my last comment with a image of our viewport if you want to take a look!
Nice idea! I wish you had more than one heart, though. It makes the game a little too frustrating for a jam entry. I find it confusing that you’ve added props like doors or chests to the environment, but you can’t interact with them.
Thank you Nubels! Those were all ideas we had in our to-do list but didn't finish in time! (having 3 hearts, opening doors and chests).
I really liked the way the tower rotates around! I reviewed your game on my live stream just now:
Thats cool! haha thanks a lot :)
This was such a cool idea and the controls felt great. i loved collecting the little fairies. I'm interested to look at the source code and see how you did this, great work!
Nice game! Unique idea for a platformer… and anything with ladders; those things always trip me up.
Thank you for your nice comment! We came up with ladders 3h before the release time hahaha
