Here's my take on the jam results, with some postmortem stuff tossed in the mix!

Developer

@Jupiter_Hadley Hey, thanks so much for the feature!

Really nice, little game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Low Rez Jam games, if you would like to take a look :)

Thanks! I've noticed that it tends to really blur a bit when you move quickly. As for effects, I haven't really experimented with them in Construct 2, but I will definitely look into how they could help add a certain style to the game.

Really fun! The checkerboard grid pattern does weird things at high speed -- if you're attached to it you might try adding blur as the marble really gets going. (or for maximum 64x64 authenticity, you would use a dither pattern...)

Version 1.3 is now live!

  • Yeah, I've been meaning to alter it to fit a 64px grid. I wasn't able to find a way during development, but I have found a suitable replacement and it will be implemented today.
  • I'll look into altering the controls for progression since they are a bit scattered.
  • As for restarting after death, that period between death and hitting the restart button was mostly there as a bit of a rest stop. For instance, a few folks I had that played it would take their time waiting between resets, which helped them to gather thoughts (or lament at me for how cruel my level design is).

I don't think the text display fits the 64px grid, does it? Also, it would be useful if continuing to the next level and starting that level were controlled with a keypress you're already using, such as up arrow, as well as restarting after death, rather than having to wait or press R.
