Loved this one, so unique! Kept going for a long time because I thought there may be an end to it, but really I think that was just my excuse to keep playing because I found it very fun. After a certain size though the levels started to get a little glitchy in rendering. Would love to see this taken further with new types of enemies, maybe different attacks, and just more things.

thanks! Seeing the good reception this game received i'm definetely going to add more variety to the game and fix some glitches, specially the ones related to being super giant/small. I'm sketching all kind of enemies and rooms hehe

I fell of the map so many times .... ^^ good concept. I just had a bug

the "red screen of death" after wich you have to alt+f4 your way out. didn't have the strength to start over and try to complete it

Thanks for the feedback! i'm already testing some solutions for the problems that arise when you are extremely big or small, unity kind of freaks out in those cases haha. Also, falling is kind of annoying, so i'm thinking of adding a "vertical recursion" effect, so when you fall to the void you land on another level

As others have said, a very cool concept! I would love to see the core mechanics expanded and added to if you develop it further!

A very interesting concept. The theme was well realized, and the music was very jazzy! I personally didn't find it extremely fun, as it got repetitive quickly, though that's kind of the point, yeah? Overall, I think you did a good job!

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago

thanks! yeah the repetitive aspect is one of the most prevalent criticisms, i think of adding more variety in rooms and enemies once the jam is done

The music is amazing, the art is hella trippy absolutely love it. The game plays really well and the controls feel good. I think I had too much fun playing the game.

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

haha thanks! that error means that you got so big or tiny that the computer though your size was infinite :P

I liked the combination of 3D and 2D, but i got stuck at level 256 cause I got hit too many times and couldn't pass the barriar to the next level. I had fun playing it, I think maybe if you gave the player the ability to attack up and down, it could have made it more fun to play but idk maybe it gets too easy this way. Good job :)

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago

thanks! You can also use the tunnel at the end of the level if you are too small to jump over

Teitoku LowlietSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Quirky visuals, simple gameplay loop, I tried to see if I could just jump over all the levels but it didn't work out haha

Submitted

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago

thanks! If you are super small you can pass every level through the tunnels, but it takes forever haha

Really like the premise, but it get's kinda boring quite fast as there's no new challenges besides how far can you get. Sound and art looks GREAT!

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

thanks Cabritta! yep i think that's one of the problems to address in a future update

Great music, did you compose that ? It sounds awesome!

my talented brother is behind the music of every one of my games haha

mashumafiSubmitted4 years ago

Game has a nice difficulty curve. I reached level 16384 but wonder how big it gets. The art style is cute! I like the music and sound effects too. Thanks for sharing.

Submitted

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

thanks mashumafi! there's literally no end, the game generates itself till your computer can't hold no more, so had you probably seen all that there is to see in the game :P

GeniusGamerSubmitted4 years ago

This game is really cool! The art style is nice as well, and crashing is... nice? Oh well, that's what happens when you try to reach the end. :)

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago

thanks! sometime in the future i'm planning to fix the crashes by essentially resetting your size and scaling back to normal when you are too big, but keeping it all the same around you so that the player can't notice any difference. Got short of time in the jam haha

GeniusGamerSubmitted4 years ago

I hope that works. I’m just surprised that the game doesn’t crash instantly, considering the recursion. :)

CameronHowellSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

I wish there as a lose state when too small but other than that, it was a lot of fun and I was jammin out to the music :)

Submitted

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago

thanks Cameron! at first i though about adding a lose state but damaging yourself on purpose just to go to smaller levels ended being funnier haha

AkipSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

I made the character grow so much that the game crashed x)

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago

that will always happen on some point as i put no limit in the size haha. It just depends on the computer :P

RGBguySubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Crushing those creepy things was so satisfying. Nice one!

Getting some cactus vibes from this, phenomenal music, controls work well enough for the game's pace and your choice of colors is just mwah, great job.

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago

oh, you got me! I'm a big cactus fan so there's definetely some inspiraton here haha. Thanks!

Fishy delishySubmitted4 years ago(+1)

nothing to be ashamed of, cactus is God emperor bae every day.

DanielSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Really unique and with music that is beyond amazing! Controls felt weird though; I'd like the option to have space/mouseclick to jump/attack. Other than that, pretty cool puzzle game

Submitted

Untitled Space Game

Retsa GamesDeveloper4 years ago

thanks! you are right with the control scheme, mouse buttons should attack/jump, going to add them as soon as the jam ends
