Challenging but fun! The only thing I would change is the character but all in all, Well Done!
Very challenging and addictive! It is super difficult and raging but that makes it even more engaging for me. I also love how satisfying it feels once you get on the platform you aimed for. Amazing entry would love to see it as a mobile game.
Thank you! It even works on mobile right now (landscape mode) :) Maybe at some point I will come back to it after the gamejam
Great game and very challenging, great work!
Fun but super challenging, love the concept and the precise aiming! Having three different power levels was a good interpretation of the theme.
Really fun and cool concept
very hard but fun gam
This game achieves exactly what I believe you intended it too! very frustrating and has me going back for more. Only advice would be to have the camera continue moving up, had a hard time seeing where I was aiming.
Nice Game!!
Polished and additive, wish the camera would move up a little earlier as you can't see where you are aiming .
Feels like a Foddian game and it's fun.
welldone
Nice little rage game :D Difficult but addicting and it feels polished and good to play. The background art is nice too. Good job :D
Great game, a lot of fun to play and very frustrating
The Game Concept was very close to Jump King. The only thing that's setting them apart, is the three different states over time. I see what you tried to make, and it's nice. The Music felt really relaxing, which is always important when playing a game like this.
Very challenging! Once I figured out how to use the short jumps to shimmy around I started getting a bit more comfortable with it. But when I fell a couple of screens I gave up ><!
Like the idea. It's funny though that the three jump is the weakest one. Did you try how it felt when the power was in reverse?
Thanks! Yep, my wife had the same idea but after testing, I came back to the current approach. There were 2 main problems -
1. it was not intuitive when playing - it's more natural to hold longer to jump higher,
2. you more often use small jumps in a short period of time (to "shimmy around"), so it felt weird that you have to wait for it longer than the long jump.
the player and the obsticles dont match (sorry if there is some explanation is at the end i didnt get there)
Do you mean the color and style? Yeah, I wanted to make the player more visible against the level - tested some designs and ended up with this one. It could be done better but not sure how :)
i thing it would be beter if the color would be white or between gray and white but that is only my opinion (sorry for my english if there are mistakes)
No problem, English is not my native language as well :)
I tried similar colors but it blends too much with the background - especially in the higher levels where there is much more light.
try to color it like the mouse i think but then the mouse will maybe blend with the player
or try this. the yellow color it is good idea it is visible but not too much.
Blends too much with the env. Wanted to share a screen but it's too big for itchio
ok
my last idea is brown color or to stay yellow and link it somehow enviroment or story like on icon there is kind of creatur or for the first time i foutgh that the ball is a star or a part of sunlight and i found one problem you can skip one stone in the game i dont now if its good like that
It's ok :) There are many places where you can go up different ways. It is intentional.
thank you i wasnt sure
didn't get to the end. sorry.
:(
Annoying but GOOD kind of annoying :D
GOOD kind of annoying is the BEST kind of annoying :D
Btw this game has an ending. I am curious if anyone will Reach the Sun :D
Awesome game 👍
My only complaint is the screen switching instead of moving the camera with the ball so you can always see higher up.
Well done for 72 hr game jam.
Thanks :D
I took the camera from my inspiration - Jump King. It adds to the difficulty level :)
I love rage games, this is simply awesome, well done!
pretty cool game :D (getting rage game vibes over here...)
