The game is really great and really challenging ! I especially loved the music which I found incredible !! It reminds me a bit of Mindustry's OST which is one of of my favourite OSTs :) Just one thing : When you jump and a platform spawns where you actually are, you are trapped inside it and are forced to jump to escape. It would probably be better to die in this situation and respawn at the beggining ( which would make more sense ;) 

Developer

You are 100% correct.  I appreciate your feedback!  I found that particular bug on my last play test, sadly because of adulting responsibilities I had to just hope no-one else found it as I had no tie to fix lol.   I see you were the lucky one lol

10/10 would die again!

Game is very challenging. I like the Concept. Music is really good, the Platform Change Sound could be less loud because you hear it so much during play.

When I played in window mode the Sides of the Level were cut off... it works in full screen.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!  It def needed a little more time in the oven but I had to adult which meant I had to submit early.

Impressive you managed to do this on such little time!

Developer

Thank you!

Loved the challenge on this one! Super fun to play, and you can tell that a ton of thought and time was put into designing the levels. Good stuff! 

Developer

Thank you!   I wish I had had about an hour more to playtest the back half of the game but alas I had adulting to do....lol

So well designed game! Very impressive for a 48h game jam! If i really try to say something maybehelpful advice: when you don't  think forward and see the next platform you should jump after the next jump either, you will know where it is, so it's maybe a bit too deterministic. It could be a bit ragey spice if you place some platforms to a really undeterministic (but ofc still reachable) place. Really good work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for the feedback!   I plan on continuing development beyond the jam so I appreciate your insight.   😁

The concept of platforms switching per jump felt novel. This did lead to deaths that were frustrating or amusing at times. I'm not a fan of the music used, but it does mesh well with the game's difficulty and the art style. 

I liked the forest and bramble aesthetic of the levels. The art style could have been a little brighter or more contrast could have been given between the ground and the background - it started to strain my eyes by the third level when trying to look for platforms to jump onto.

Having a par score and time would be helpful so that the player knows how far off they are/were when trying to improve their rating.

A challenging platformer.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!  The contrast was definitely an issue I wanted to fix.  I appreciate you taking the time to play and critique!  I didn't know what to expect for my first game jam (and first game...)  :)

Submitted(+1)

Even the first level was super tough! Great concept. And I'm a big fan of the music. Great job!

Developer

Thanks!  Yea it was a bit brutal.  I leaned a little hard into the "rage" in rage platformer lol   Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Haha. Nice.

Great game! It was a bit hard for me to get through but it was interesting that I could mentally mind map my jumps and get through the level :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!  Yea in hindsight a bit more time in the oven to playtest would have been a good thing.  I have since released an updated version (that you can download) that fixes an issue with the hitbox and increased the 1 star level timer.  

Submitted(+1)

I liked this game a lot! It is way too hard though. i got through the first level on 15 seconds but still only got one star. I wish it was easier to reach the next level, but that the hard part was getting those 3 stars. Right now that seems impossible.
I'd love to see this get polished a bit and then try again later. Level design looks really good, art is nice and the music is fantastic!

Developer(+1)

Agreed.  It needed a little more time in the oven.  Be lucky you didn't make it to the last level, which was literally impossible :)    I made a downloadable version that tweaked the times to make them more forgiving.  Appreciate your feedback!!

Developer

I updated the hitbox and made the last levels time actually beatable.  I left the original jam submission as the playable version for review since that is what was submitted, but version 1.1 with the changes is downloadable.

Started with 2 monitors ended with 1, thanks

I do apologize lol.   It is quite rage-y

It's very clever, and fun too though! Good job

Submitted(+1)

great looking, great sounding, great theme implementation, but the first level is too damn hard to get passed! with some level difficulty build up, this would be fantastic.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!  It needed another hour for playtesting.  My wife threw the controller at me on level one.   Although, they only got harder from there :)

Submitted(+1)

the game looks very cool. I like the music. To honest I didn't get far as the game is very difficult

Developer

Thanks!  I ran out of time when playtesting sadly, darn responsibilities :) 

Submitted(+1)

Really cool game. The only thing i can point out its the hitbox of the player that its a bit off and make the game a little too hard.  Other than that i really enjoyed it.

Developer

Thanks! I agree, it was a little tight for some of the jumps.

This game makes me very angry and I don't know why..

Developer(+1)

That kinda makes me happy :)
