Nice method with controls it is unique :) I like it. Graphic and music fit together. The use of the limitation is perfect <3 Game is solid but I have a bug  and game stuck :c But good job :)

Very clever use of limitation, but at the cost of very difficult controls.

Developer

Thank you for your comment ^^ Just so you know I'm working on a patch to adjust several things, skip dialogues...

nice game the u + p thing took some time to get used to not used to having my hands on that side of the keyboard well not my right hand anyways.  I like how the jam page version lets you go to the next level even if you run out of health lol. Played the version you linked  to some one else. 

I had a issue with this area.


I went to far to the right and fell off the level and the game got stuck there and had to restart. That was on the not working so well version since it let you go past levels if you ran out of health 

The one where you can die I jumped into the 4th platforms in this area and got stuck in it  

and the game locked up sadly.

Developer

Thank you for your comment <3 

Wow thanks I never noticed this hole on the right haha and sorry for the inconvenience ^^'

Submitted(+1)

all good the joys of not having enough time to do beta testing of the game because of time limits.

Developer

haha yes I did some tests all along but that's all and obviously wasnt enough ^^'

Submitted(+1)

sadly it never seems to be enough. I am sure my game has issues I have not seen my self as well yet only having other play it will discover them for me.

Submitted(+1)

I love the mechanic! but it seems there's an isses with the health bar? I keep advancing to the next level each time my health goes to 0....

Developer

Thank you for your comment ! <3

Yes there was an issue with the published game sadly. If you want, I uploaded a patched version on another page because I must keep the original publication for the game jam. You can play it here ^^ That issue is fixed + there is a real game over screen and you can go back to checkpoints too.

I'm working on another patch to be able to skip the dialogues.

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the u/p mechanic! It was a bit buggy at times and skipped two levels at once but besides that it was a good game, i loved the art!

Developer

Thank you ! I really appreciate your comment <3 Yes, there was a known issue when you lose all your health, you skip to the next level. Lol convenient right ? You can play the updated version here if you want ^^

An interesting idea in management and life. The visual is cool, but there are a lot of dialogues (I don't really like dialogues)Overall, a good game.Good job!

Developer

Thank you <3 Yes, I wanted to make something a little narrative but everyone doesn't like that. Plus the first part may be too difficult and you're forced to read them again and again. I'm working on a patch for that ^^

You can play the last updated version on the other page :)

Thank you <3 I'm happy you enjoyed it ^^

unique interpretation of the limitation. sand down some rough edges and holler back at me. Check out my live review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission

Developer

Thank  you for your review ! PS : I'll add the skip dialogue mechanic asap ^^'

Submitted(+1)

Lovely game, lovely execution unfortunately did get stuck in a wall on wall jumps twice but other than that.
Incredibly creative, controls work well cute story good sound effects. 
Dialogue so many things in only 3 days Well done!
especially for a one man team :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your comment ! I'm happy you liked it ^^ I was afraid to lack some time I made some things maybe useless for the jam like the dialogues but it gives my identity too ^^

Submitted(+1)

Lovely dialogue, I'm so glad I saved Josh! I appreciate having checkpoints, because the game is quite challenging, but the concept is super creative and it works really well.  The tileset choice matches the game and helps a lot with the mood. 

Good job!!

Developer

Wow thank you for this really nice comment <3 appreciate a lot ! I'm glad you saved Josh too !

I wondered at first if there wasn't too many checkpoints but I didn't want to do something too challenging and punitive. So you can try nearly endlessly I'd say haha.

Submitted(+1)

Pretty neat, love the jump mechanic of having to press u + p, but it's a bit challenging to play. Great game!

Developer

Thank you <3 I really appreciate you liked the game ^^
It's a bit challenging to get used to it, even I can have little difficulty sometimes haha

Submitted(+1)

I like the fact that you lose heal while moving, the game need you to play multiple time to reach a certain point. It made the speed runner in me submerge.

Developer

Thank you <3 
Haha I even thought adding the elapsed time you know ^^'  

Submitted(+1)

I really like this game. The controls are hard but they make the game fun because you have to think about what you need to press and plan ahead. I had the problem of skipping to the next stage too and then my character froze and wouldn't move. But other than that, I think this has a lot of potential. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for you comment, it means a lot <3 I'm going to publish an update for the next stage skip haha ! 

Submitted (2 edits) (+1)

A really nice game! Love the artstyle, though the controls were a bit tricky to learn and even harder to master. I had my biggest struggles with the wall jumps, which seemed impossible at first. The added obstacle of your health draining was fun, though I sometimes was teleported to other stages seemingly at random. All in all, I had a blast playing it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you ! <3 Yes there's a known issue where you're teleported to the next scene instead the Game Over one when losing all your health ^^' 

Graphics are free assets from Grafxkid I love them ^^

I love the concept and the art. I may just be old, but I could not get used to the controls. If the player's fall-speed was lowered, I could have made it farther lol. Great game though, and good job!

Developer

Thank you for your comment ! It means a lot to me <3 I'm happy if you liked it though ^^
I could have made some adjustements but not enough time haha
PS : Graphics are from @grafxkid

Mechanic in this one was interesting! Took some getting used to operating the U/P platforms that moved, while also moving the character with the same controls. Wall jumping was fun. Loved the music, too. Imagined you jamming out on a set of woodwinds in a recording studio to produce the audio. Fun little game, nice work.

Developer

Wow thank you. It's my first game jam so it really means a lot to me <3
