Such an amazing game! I'm surprised you pulled this off in 3 days. The music is an absolute bop, the game looks really nice and its straight fun to play. I seriously can't say anything bad about it. Great Job! :)
THIS IS WHAT I LOVE! phenomonal level design, amazing mechanics, the movement feels so nice! The one thing that got to me is at a certain point theres alot of specific jumps that have to be made and then place an angel and if you dont hit on the second way through you have to completely restart with no check point, otherwise this one is my favorite!
good game!
Cool game, especially the idea with the angel. Good job.
Thank you so much for playing :)
i love the art
Thank you :)
That was nice ! It feels and looks good !
However having to wait to make your soul appear is a bit frustrating to me, but that's still good.
Good job !
Thanks for playing and for the feedback.
We saw other players also found the wait time a bit frustrating. We really appreciate that people point out these things to us. We hope that in the updated version of the game, this issue will not be present.
This one's fun, most of the mechanics are executed well, the only one that I didn't like was the suicide mechanic, while using your soul as a platform is great, having to time the explosion so you can properly make a platforming is annoying because it really just boils down to waiting 2.5 seconds and then doing something and that gets boring/annoying quickly. everything else is good though, the art, the enemies, the music, good stuff here
Thank you so much for playing, and for your feedback :).
We really appreciate that you took the time to write this. It is very helpful when people address those things we overlooked.
We will make sure that the updated version will improve that aspect for sure! We are actually considering reworking the exploding feature entirely while still keeping the "Double jump" feel it provides, and we hope that the rework will improve it, and most importantly address this issue.
Really fun to play! Nice art, and the player controller feels very smooth.
Thank you so much:)
great idea and awesome game! only problem i had was wating for my angel to go to the place, i know it was just 3 seconds but still, and waiting for the robots with pickaxes as well, since they camped the place hahaha, maybe have them reset their spot when you die?
Thank you for your input and for playing the game :). We are considering reworking the angel feature in some ways after the jam voting period, and would hopefully improve that aspect drastically. The enemy reset spot should be a quick thing to change, so we will definitely address that as well.
Interesting and well implemented use of the theme, really liked it!
Thank you!
Really nicely polished game well done, very good platforming feel and I tell you spend a lot of time crafting the mechanics and levels, as they have a nice flow almost rhythm to it.
My nitpicks would probably be to add a jump buffer so there is a second or less after leave an platform you can still jump. I think that would improve the overall feel.
Thank you for playing and for your input. We actually have a jump grace period but it's only about 0.35 sec, replaying the game now it definitely doesn't seem like the feature is there. We will fix that the after the jam voting for sure :)
Being able to jump on the ghost and the ghost being frozen in place when dying is brilliant! One of the more creative games I've seen this jam and I love it!
Thank you so much :)
I really liked the visual style of this one! Nice game
Thanks for playing !
Huh I really liked it and it reminds me of Celeste but has more mechanics. Well Done!
Thank you
you’re welcome!
A fully packaged game! I really liked the core mechanic! Well done!
Thanks for playing
Wow, this is really well executed! The visual design is amazing and the feel of controlling the character is super solid.
I really liked the idea for the main mechanic and I think it fits well with the theme. Unfortunately I'm not very good with platformers so I spent a lot of time wait for 2.5 seconds and then totally failing my jump timing :)
Really good job overall!
We were considering, after the jam, adding a condition where if the player fails a jump several times an angel would be spawned on the correct spot by default. I think that might properly address this issue, hopefully.
Thank you for the feedback and for playing the game :)
woah, its crazy idea) 5/5, i liked it
Thank you!
Very cool game! I liked the animation of the character as well, and the gameplay was fun. nice job
Thank you!
Well. First of all: I couldn’t put it down. The core mechanic is freaking awesome, even though at first I was skeptical about it. You’ve got some serious level design skills, and I really, REALLY appreciate the level of mercy shown, in terms of the very well placed and ample checkpoints. I’m not great at precision platformers (even though I like them) and playing Neon Rush was 95% satisfaction with only about 5% frustration due to the great level design.
But pretty please: get some new/better music for this gem. Now I have Katy Perry’s Hot’n’Cold stuck in my head.
Thank you so much for the nice feedback. Just a quick note here that this is not a solo project. It's a collaborative effort between me and a friend of mine @taiix . We have tried our best to make sure the final product is the most we could provide. We are super excited that you show such excitement for the game. Again thank you.
In regards to the music, i DIED when i read this lol. "Now I have Katy Perry’s Hot’n’Cold stuck in my head." you are not alone in this hahaha nice catch. I decided to make some music, and after the first track i was out of ideas so i decided to try making something similar to hot'n'cold. I think it shows but music clearly isn't my strength lol.
great achievement on such a short time-line, particularly in the level design department and concept of using your deaths to progress through. The game calls upon a lot of familiar early platformer puzzles and bundles it up with into a unique and highly enjoyable, replayable product. Bonus points for the "dark mischief" feel to the game in art and audio, really helps with the feeling of puzzle-solving but simple enough to let you concentrate on the solutions. Really enjoyed myself
Thank you for playing and for the feedback. We have tried to plan carefully the level layout, and we are really glad you appreciate it.
