Hey, sorry for giving you feedback so late. I like the concept and the minimal style. I feel the collision is not 100% accurate all the time. or too sensitive sometimes. Maybe you should make use of the different colored background from the beginning. For example, if you jump on one color, only the blocks with the same color will disappear. Anyway, good job!

Developer

Thank's for the feedback

Nice game. The colours and sound made me feel I was inside an old TV :)  

I best marks were L:4 S:56

Thank you!

Seems easy at first, but has a really good progression with each level becoming increasingly more difficult. Overall, very fun to play!

Developer

Thank's for playing and for the review!

hey pretty fun game!  i really like the concept and it was fun to play.  it seems like there are some collision detection issues though, so it was a bit frustrating when i'd die while being at the top corner of a block.  also a lot of times the little guy would jump up off a block after pushing it down even when i never pressed up, and that lead to a lot of dying as well.  pretty cool though!

Thanks! Ahah it seems you got all the bugs xD! I actually think I fixed all the bugs, but I totally forgot to update it here XD

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

cool!  let me know when you update it on here and i'll try it again!

Developer (1 edit)

I'm actually updating it right now. I haven't played it alot, but I believe most of the bugs are fixed. If it still has bugs or you find new ones, please let me know!

Thanks!

Pretty retro, pretty simple, pretty FUN! :O It does have that retro-challenging feel, thanks to the sounds and graphics, and it's got a really nice concept!

The way the game was built also made it pretty intuitive to me (how to play, etc.) and it's quite easy to get, even without reading the how to play instructions. :P

Loved it! :D I kinda always die when the "golden"  blocks start  falling :P

Also, you made the console/engine? That's neat! :O

Developer

Thank you for such a complete review! I'm glad you like it. 

The game is still a bit buggy, but playable, I have to make the levels a bit more balanced, the "golden" (you mean the yellow ones right?) are a bit hard. I'm glad the game turned out have such a retro feeling!

And yep, I'm still making it (Console), but the current version was already good enough to create this game, which is pretty cool. Right now it's a bit like Pico 8, the code is mine (obviously ahah), but I intend to change some layouts and to create a color palette of my own and other stuff, Actually if I have the time, which will be hard this and next year, I would like to create a version just for the LowRezJam, it would be cool to see other people using it and one version with less restrictions. I published some info about it on java-gaming site. 

I'll leave the link, in case, you are interested in it: http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/what-i-did-today/33622/msg/370008/view/topicse...

Once again thanks for playing and reviewing it!

Simple and fun, I really like the concept. I can see booting up this game from time to time for some quick fun.

Developer

Thanks! I hope you do that once I release the updated version!

That's a nice game.
It sends me back to the beginning of digital era with that 1 channel sound. =D

Thank's for playing it, I'm glad you like it!

Simple and funny. I see the potential for a rhythm game here. By the way, the jump felt a bit clumsy, and I found a bug in the collision detection (screenshot attached). Good sound effects.

You already played our game: Blind Bird, so we can't do anything but thank you. 」( ̄▽ ̄」)

Ahah no problem!

What you see in the picture is not exactly a bug in the collision, but an illusion. You see, I did not create 3 sprites to make the effect up and down, that part is in the code, what happens is that the real position of character is touching the block, but the animation makes it look like it's not touching. Anyway that will be fixed in the next update. Thank's for playing.

Simple game but fun to play :D However, the jump and push could ve been be better I guess 👍

Developer

Thanks! You are indeed correct. I'm trying to find the time to fix a few bugs and perhaps make the jump more fluid.
