This firefly is CUTE AF !!!
It would have been great to add jump and landing animation (like sparkles and a squishy effect).

Developer

Thank you! My girlfriend made the art and she is really good at making cute animals. She actually made several animations but sadly I ran out of time to implement any of the animators, which is why there is also no victory screen when you "win", haha.

I'll hopefully get around to finishing this idea and uploading a more polished version soon with all the animations, sounds, and levels (not for the game jam, but a separate project).

Submitted

Actually a fun game , best jump sound ever

Developer

Haha, thanks! I'm planning to upload a finished version sometime soon since I liked the idea so much - this one will actually have proper levels and animations. If you're curious, the jump sound can easily be achieved yourself in Audacity if you shift the pitch of your voice up 5-10 semitones haha

Submitted

Haha, those jump sounds! xD

Basically what chrissx2 said.

I got 1 cake. Was there any more?

Developer

Sadly no - I had a couple levels/scenes built but didn't get a chance to hook them all up with the victory animations. Had to leave a few hours earlier than expected, but oh well! Thanks for checking it out, haha

Submitted

haha really cute, especially the sounds :P.

Developer

If you're curious: you can record yourself saying "oof!" into a microphone, and using Audacity just shift the pitch up 5 or 10 semitones and you get perfectly cute sounds, haha

Simple but fun concept, i like the light limit and remembering where leaves are. Getting the cake didnt do anything though.

Thank for submitting!!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I really wanted to do more with the idea of remembering where the platforms are each time you reset. I even considered making like an "infinite runner" or Flappy Bird-style game where you just see how far you can get. I'm still playing with the idea even after the jam so we'll see where it goes!

And yeah, unfortunately I had to stop working a few hours early to go meet some family that was in town, so I didn't quite get to finish up all the victory animations/conditions. Thanks for checking it out though!

I found the cake!

BUT THE CAKE IS A LIE

Thanks for playing!

The firefly is so cute! I get the cake but I don't understand how to progress more (or I'm just stupid xD). You can cheat a bit by jumping repetly on the wall left and right and get the top of the world border. Nice idea with the in-game istructions! :)

Developer

Glad you like the artwork! I actually had some animations for it but didn't get to hook up all the animators. And nah, you're not stupid at all - the lack of animations means I also didn't have the victory/success animations working when you find the cake. The plan was to have a little victory animation and then load the next level, but I had some people visiting from out of town and had to stop working on it earlier than I would have liked.

Thanks for checking it out though! I'll have to look into that physics exploit you mentioned...
