Nice game, very smooth for your first gamejam game. I loved the randomness of the incoming objects some made me laugh out loud as I came into the 80's and a piece of debris came flying at me fast and rotating hella fast... must of been on something. Nice choice of assets for the game. I would love to see your future game jam submissions! Keep it up :)
Thank you very much for your comment. Yes first time I tried it to before configuring the randomness system I was crashed by maybe 3 bombs and 4 spinning walls :) It was surprising. Thanks for the assets : the bomb wasn't mine but the ugly walls were.
I hope to have time for next game jam. Anyway I found this experience very cool. And people are very nice too !
Have you ever seen "The Langoliers"? This game kinda reminds me of that movie's portrayal of traveling back in time and the past trying to destroy them.
I digress though. This was a fun game to play with an interesting concept. The music fit with the years, though I wish that maybe the obstacles and backgrounds were more themed for the year. (Though I do understand the difficulty of finding good free assets).
The random generation of obstacles was fine for the most part, but specifically with the spinning platforms I often found myself in an unwinnable situation where both were near side by side. A spinning wall of unavoidable death. A checkpoint system would be a welcome addition too!
Over all I had fun with this game!
I have actually ! From Stephen King, I remember the movie when I was a kid, it was very scary for me.
Thank you for your comment. I do agree ! I would love to have more time and talent to make obstacle fit to the current year as for the backgrounds.
Yes the spinning walls and bombs are generated randomly. For the "most difficult" level, the 3rd one, there is 35% chance that a generated enemy will be a spinning wall with an enemy generated every 0.8s. So Yes, it can happened that 2 walls are generated aside and it's kind of impossible to avoid them. It was pretty much ok because there are only 4 levels and the only one where you can have this problem is the 3rd. But you're right, maybe a checkpoint system could have been usefull :)
By the way, I've already told you but your game rocks... So poetic, very nice dialogs with fun also ! First time I explored to the right at the end and I was declared a coward by letting all my animals friends lol :)
I said to myself, "Hey, someone made a langoliers video game!"
Did you eat 404 cookies? XD The game is very good! You chose/made the songs very well and gameplay too!
lol. Tank you for your comment. No but as a web dev, 404 seems to me the perfect hell number ;)
I love the first music track!
Yes it is cool. You can find it here : https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music?nv=1 The name is Strange stuff :)
I liked that the player had to weigh the remaining space with convenience of just flying forwards. Fun submission!
Thank you for your comment. Was my first Jam but it was cool :
It was interesting having to balance how far to fly forward and be able to see the obstacles ahead.
Thank you for your post :) It put a little pressure on the player and he has to choose between going forward immediately or not :)
