How does your game fit the theme "Unconventional Means"?
Classic elements of a typical platforming game were changed to effect the player in unconventional & unexpected means (i.e collecting coins make you die).

Great game! very creative!
thanks for playing! :)
Great game! The moment I started playing I immediately liked the music, which gave me a good first impression for the game. The graphics are also really good, as well as the level transitions, and I enjoyed the puzzles / levels a lot too. Your game mechanic was also a neat response to the theme.
I think one of the only issues I found were that, while the whole "twist on the platformer norm" was cool, it began to feel more and more like a regular platformer later in the game (such as how platforms were added that I COULD stand on, kind of taking away from the idea that "in this game, you don't actually jump on the platforms.") Other than that though, I liked this game a lot. Well done!
yeah I get what you mean, the caution platformers were more so for level design purposes than anything else.
thanks for playing! :)
Wow! This was very unconventional! Liked the sounds, and the art so much! I hope that no birdie was hurt during the jam time! ^^
lol no pigeons we’re hurt during the making of this game! :P
Thanks for playing! :)
This is a very fun game! It's always cool to see platformers that break common conventions. I really like the visuals and the sounds (especially the jump sound)! I'm not sure how I feel about the lives system. Nothing about the game felt frustrating so I had no issues with it, but if there were more levels it could make the game a lot more tense. If you work on this more post-jam and add more levels it might be good to also add a way to get extra lives, (maybe every couple of points added to your score gets you an extra life).
Overall, great job!
yeah definitely wish I had more time to make more levels!
thanks for playing! :)
Nice take on the theme, but I found the introduction of many mechanics to be confusing. For example, walking on air was something that I initially though was me simply walking on ground that I didn't see. The lives system is also very unnecessary for this, and would be better suited with level oriented progression. With a little polishing and improved level design, this could be a great puzzle-like platformer. Good work!
I guess technically speaking the "walking on air" IS a ground you can't see, since it's just a box collider with no sprite! :P but appreciate the suggestions!
thanks for playing! :)
Really enjoyed this one. Clever use of the theme :)
It was really smart to make the player able to walk in the air, really unconventional.
The sounds and music are also good.
Great entry :)
thanks for playing! :)
My brain hurts, but I really enjoyed your game! :D
thanks for playing! :)
very good sound design! The reversed controls threw me off - maybe that was intentional?
yes, whenever you start on the reversed side of the screen (right side) the controls are reversed.
thanks for playing! :)
Great use of the theme!! Was fun the way you broke typical platforming rules! xD The art was nice too! Awesome job on this! :D
thanks for playing! :)
I really like the idea, but the controls feel abit too slippery and it feels abit random wether you land a jump or not. Great game, I had alot of fun playing
thanks for playing! :)
I agree, I'll probably decrease the speed of the player so it doesn't feel so slippery.
Had fun playing this game and the sound effects were on spot. Overall, a awesome game!
thanks for playing! :)
Quite a fun game.
thanks for playing! :)
It's a lot of fun! but are the controls meant to be backwards? or is this just me
the controls are only backwards when you start on the reversed side of the screen (the right side).
thanks for playing! :)
nice mechanics and cool game! I love the soundtrack
thanks for playing! :)
Nice idea for the game, the fact that you have to avoid platforms and coins in this platform made a huge impression on me. When you play the game for the first time without a tutorial, the game is really intriguing
thanks for playing! :)
I liked The idea the sound,artwork and in general that good game to "Relax"
thanks for playing! :)
Such a good game. I loved the pigeon sound effect!
thanks I did those myself! First time "voice acting" lol!
thanks for playing! :)
I like the sounds and music, especially the jumping sound, but overall the twist didn't make the game play that different from a traditional platformer. Don't jump on the dangerous parts (platforms and coins in this case) and make it to the goal.
That being said, this is still very good for 48 hours, the platforming itself feels good and again, the sounds are great.
the unconventional part was more so the element's effect were unconventional (i.e coins are normally collectable, not harmful), but I get what you're saying!
thanks for playing! :)
Really cool game! I love how unconventional this actually is. A great twist on the platformer genre!
thanks for playing! :)
The game feels really well polished and love the art style think it all flows together well. Definitely felt un-conventional was definitely scratching my head on some levels before I figured out the underlying theme. Very cool!
thanks for playing! :)
