Wow, I have so many feelings about this game. At times it was fun, and at times frustrating. I don't know exactly what it is but ultimately I left the game feeling frustrated. It took me a while to figure out that the big purple thing was a level select screen. The levels are cool but some are really frustrating. I'm not a fan of the mouse grappling hook, I find it a chore to use. Sound effects when Jumping and using the grappling hook could be louder. I didn't finish. I dropped out somewhere in the Centrifuge room around 45min playing. The room with the two platforms moving and you have to change gravity between them.
The game on the whole is a vast improvement from when I last played it. About 4-5 jams ago. Keep up the good work. I didn't pay attention to the story much but it seems to work ok.
Suggestion... add a death counter, I found myself wanting to know how many times I died. Add it to the pause menu or something. It's not essential.
"Katana ZERO" but without enemies. Quite unusual!
Will wait for the next update and bug fix.
Keep Up the Great Work!
Very neat game! The opening was quite epic~ Keep working on it. That grappling hook is a fun mechanic, perhaps it could use a texture upgrade since it's used so much. The raycast line looks a bit cheap. Maybe a cool scifi chain with particles or lightning bolts would really sell it well more! Awesome work~ Please check out my game when you can :D
Very nice work! Presentation is great... although I did hear some music from Final Fantasy / Chrono Trigger, I guess this is temp music?
The game crashed for me after I made it to the powerplant & tried to teleport back to the Ark (this appears to happen every time when teleportig back).
I liked the game mechanics and controls. Personally, I don't care that much about the story in a platformer - still good to see that you gave it a lot of attention on it though!
Really appreciate the feedback (and the critical bug find!!), I'm happy to hear the central mechanics felt good to you. I'll definitely look into why the return back is causing the game to crash
There's definitely still a lot of placeholder music and art in this game, and I will probably look at replacing everything holistically if/when the time comes to get the licensing figured out. Until then, I really want to wrap up the rest of the game before doing so
Thank you again for giving the game a try!
