It is a game that can be played easily without any special explanation, but it is difficult to do well. It's a little difficult because there are so many things to take care of, but it's a game that makes good use of the theme of "rotation".

Submitted

Nice little game! I would love to see some more elements here so that it holds attention a little longer, maybe colored enemies that if you land on them with the right color you can defeat them and get a boost, or a trampoline that would bounce you extra high

Submitted

Cool concept, would be really great with some sound effects and music! I think it has potential 

Submitted

I like the concept! But got too distracted by the enemies below haha. Overall its a fun game to play.

Submitted

Cool concept! I think you could do a lot more w this mechanic in the future too. Using the colors for more elements in the game would be awesome. 

Submitted

Good idea, I made it to about 70 points. The concept seems very flexible and addicting, with some polish a full game version of this could be really interesting. Maybe with different enemies you have to avoid, or platforms that change your bounce. Very interesting concept!

Developer

Thanks for playing.

The idea about the different surfaces that change bounce is actually really smart, I appreciate it!

Submitted

Nice little game ! Works well with the theme.

 Good job :)

So simple, yet so addicting! It's a very enjoyable mechanic, the controls are perfect (you've nailed the rotation speed and jump strength). Really well done! Any plans of a mobile version? Maybe tilt controls for movement and tapping the left/right side of the screen for rotation?

Thanks for playing. No, I haven’t thought about a mobile version, that does sound like a good idea though

Submitted

Very good game! I think this gameplay could be quite addictive and with a bit of iteration and more levels it would be great. Nice!

Developer

Thanks, adding more levels is something I plan on working on soon

Submitted

This was a fun little game. The movement felt satisfying without being floaty or too dull and the rotation mechanic fit well with the theme. Well done!

Developer

Thanks, it took a lot of tweaking with to get right. I do plan on adding falling debuffs that will effect the bounce

Submitted

Had fun with this one. Found the text with the next color a little hard to read and I wish it stood out more against the background. If you're looking to develop this game further, I think it'd make a fun challenge mode if there was a mismatch between the color of the text and the word itself (so for example, it says blue but the color of the text is yellow). 😉

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I agree about the text color, I’ve already added a sort of panel behind the color instructions in an update.

Submitted

Unique concept and fun gameplay, the bonce of the character feels so good.

Developer

Thank you!

A great different take on it. The only thing I found was the difficulty with that it said blue but I still couldn't touch the blue cart... :( I will try again. Ah...you can rotate the character! I expected different colour carts...lol...this makes it different, but not easier. Fun!

Developer

Thanks for playing. Your comment does give me an idea, that the player can attack the enemies by matching the colors of them (if I made different colored ones)

Submitted

Awesome work! It was really fun to play and a great use of the theme. At first I was a little confused on the what the coins do, but then I realized that it multiplies the score gotten for getting the correct color, which I think is a really nice mechanic that adds some more strategy to the game. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. The coins were originally supposed to be for a shop in between levels for paying power-ups, but like most here, I ran out of time. I am currently working on making it a better game.

Submitted

Fun game! The controls are great and the jump gives you plenty of time to rotate. Some sounds would have been nice, especially when collecting coins. Overall I really liked it. Good job!

Developer

Thank you. It took a lot of tweaking to get the bounce like that. I’m actually working on adding sounds today.

Submitted

Great concept and quite fun! I did find it a bit hard to read the colour and react fast enough while also keeping an eye on enemies at the bottom of the screen and the falling coins. Perhaps changing the colour of the ground or background could help?


Nice work :)

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for the feedback, that was a concern of mine. I’ll definitely fix that before any other additions.

Submitted

A nice game jam entry! A bit camera shake, and sounds would improve this game by a lot :)

This is fun! Idk why but the bounciness of the little alien feels really neat, like it's on a perfect trampoline. I like the idea of having to land on a certain side of the player too. My high score was in the 140s which is probably really bad haha but I kept landing on the enemies. One thing that I think would really add to this game is some visual/audio feedback. For example, playing a success sound and have particles when you land on the correct color. Or red particles if you land on the wrong color or an enemy etc. Thanks for sharing!

Developer

Thanks for playing. Adding player feedback is on my list for things to add, I plan is to have sounds and I love your idea for some color particles when the player lands.
