That's a really nice game ! The color palette, and music are really pleasing, the controls are great and the level design well mastered.
All of this makes the game really pleasant and even the tricky parts where I died mutiple times weren't upseting of frustrating cause everything feel smooth, nice job !
Love the platforming, very tight controls great practices put into exercise when it comes to great feeling controls. I loved the coyote time, the squash and stretch, the jump SFX was very nice and plesent to hear and even felt great spamming (once ulimited jump was unlocked).... sadly I couldn't rememeber where the secret was so I spammed jump all the way into the sky hoping to hit a roof and follow that along... sadly I got lost and seemed to be falling for ever when i tried to return to the floor :D Loved the game!
haha a lot of people seem to get stuck falling infinitely. guess I should have put a floor somewhere
Every nice Art and Music . Good Game !
Solid metroidvania - lots of VVVVVV vibes! Maybe some more savepoints. Nice job!
The feeling of getting a jump power-up was great! I loved jumping around obstacles and finding the coins. Backtracking was fun, and the checkpoints were well placed. Great polish with the graphics, sound, and the way the text appeared!
yo awesome game! its very polished! the game managed to keep me entertained even after failing multiple jumps. the level was cleverly designed and the obstacles are challenging but fair. the consistency of checkpoints also make the game much more engaging instead of frustrating. couldnt find the secret tho :/ i didnt know i was supposed to jump above the sign lmao but still, really enjoyed it! it is, however, a really simple platformer. i think adding mechanics like wall jumping or controlling the height of your jump would spice things up. amazing job regardless!
you are right about the game being simple, i am working on a sequel with controlling jump height and way more different types of platforming challenges. i am also going to add a save system so that people who don't find the secrets can go back and look again without having to replay the whole game
excited to hear! will stay tuned :)
Perfect.
Great Game!
Overall, a really good game.
I really like how you implemented the limitation into the art style and I really like the concept, it's a really original way of adding exploration in a game, without the necessity of making a massive open-world game like most games these days do to create a feeling of success when finding new areas. Usually, I play these games for a short period of time and may not be entirely excited, but yours was relaxing and fun to play.
I am really looking forward to seeing more work from you!
Nice game! I really enjoy the controls and nice music. Great use of the palette limitation .
Congrats for finishing this awesome game and the Jam!
This is will be best game in the game jam!
Super cool little game.
A meaty platforming challenge, and the controls are sharp enough to carry it. Animation is spare, but the movements are juicy. Good music and sound effects, too. Really good game.
In the spirit of constructive criticism, I have two very minor suggestions. Firstly, the color palette is generally attractive, but I'm not a fan the dark blue blocks. They subtract from the clarity of the high-contrast presentation (since they belong to the foreground, but blend in more with the background), and waste a precious color to do so.
Secondly, while it's great that respawning after death is instantaneous and hassle-free, it would be nice to have at least a little bit of audio or visual feedback when the player dies. (E.g., sweat drops emitting from the player, or a little chime.)
Great feedback, glad you liked the game! You know, I totally planned on adding a death animation but it completely slipped my mind.
Hey there I was doing feedback on stream and played your entry! Here is the recording
Really cool. So simple but so funny. I would like more checkpoints so it's less frustrating haha
Very cool game. The controls are responsive and the jump is juicy. I think I got stuck in the air or something when looking for the secrets but I liked that you could take different paths, like getting the compass before the third jump.
Definitely wasn't expecting to see a genre like Metroidvania in a jam, but this was really cool. I managed to beat it in 6 minutes, but I didn't have time to find the secrets. Really well made, all of the assets came together really nicely into a charming game. Great work!
Yo this was really cool. The controls were abit awkward, and it took me a while used to the 'holding down jump', but I managed to get all the coins!
Also i love all of the secrets ;)
Amazing though it starts off a bit slow it is an amazing game, ecpecialy for a jam. Keep up the good work
