Lovely game and really polished! Only feedback I could give has already been given (quicker restart animation and lvl 7 being really hard). It has nice music and a cool introduction to the mechanics giving it a professional feel, really well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!! Yep, I'm planning on fixing both things after the evaluation period ends to be fair with the rest of the games on the game jam :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Great entry! Though, I couldn't solve level 7. I don't really have any remarks.

Developer

Thanks!! If you want to take a pick on how to beat the lvl 7, check this stream Corgibits did on my game last week: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/720146458?t=01h29m03s

Cool game. A lot of features and very nice screen effects. The music combined well too.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! :)

only one i wish is to have a more quick restart transitions!

excellent work!

Developer

Thanks!! Yes, others have mentioned the respawn time, I'll definitely make it faster after the evaluation week ends! :)

Great soundtrack, great polish, lovely ending! Really cute puzzles too! I liked that there were layers to the puzzles (normal solution as well as solution that gets diamonds and coins)

I think I agree with others about the bat (especially in level 7). It could be frustrating to get hit by it, especially when your movement may go off camera and the bat can be off camera as well.


Overall though, great work!

Developer

Thanks!!

Yep, you have to have patience on that level and probably play it a few times. Once you won it a few times it gets a lot easier really. Not completely sure if I can remove the bat on that level without loosing its essence, I might have to change that level completely to a different one. Thanks for your feedback!

This game has a lot of polish and charm!  The puzzles were well thought out, but I'm not really a huge fan of the bat in level 7.  I get why he's there, but I felt it got in the way of the puzzle a bit (also sometimes you can't see where he is due to the camera, so it can be hard to predict where he will be at times).  Regardless, that's a super minor gripe for a game that was very fun and enjoyable!  Fantastic job!  

Developer

Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it :)

And yes, everyone talks about that lvl 7 lol, I'll probably adjust it a bit somehow after this evaluation week.

Submitted

It's a great level honestly, I just get salty when I think i have it and then the bat decides to chomp me!   :D  Is he using A* pathfinding?  JDev (he made True Colors for the jam), has a game with a bat and a skull that chases you using A*, and your bat movement really reminds me of his skull lol.   

Developer (1 edit)

Yes, I believe pathfinding is actually using the A* algorithm. But what I really used is the Navigation2D tools that's part of the available Godot engine classes, so for me the algorithm used for pathfinding was abstracted by Godot, which made it super easy to implement. Here's the documentation on that:

Nice!  There are some aspects of Godot that i really wish Unity had.  In particular, I love the way Godot handles input management.  It's simple and intuitive.

Nicely made game! Loved the animation you made for the bouncing, really clever.

Thanks! :)

Wow, this game is really cool, I love how you get used to the controllers at the beginning, each puzzle has it unique solution, and the game looks very polished, love the music and SFX, The only thing I would change is to respawn faster, the bat kept killing me because I was too slow lol, Congrats ;)

Developer

Thanks!! Yes, others have mentioned the respawn time, I'll definitely make it faster after the evaluation week ends!

Really fun and challenging to play. I appreciate how you made the puzzles challenging but not in a frustrating way. It seems like a lot of thought and planning was put into level design, and you did a very good job of teaching the player how to play the game with very little written instruction. I really enjoyed playing this game!

Developer

Thanks!! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool. Made it to level 7 and then I stopped because it was taking too long.
The mechanic is an old one but you explored it a little bit more than it was already done, so nice job about that. I like how you introduced it without talking about it, just putting the player in a level and let him figure out how to move.
The moving enemies are an interesting decision, I don't know if they really fit with the puzzle gameplay, but I guess that comes down to personal design taste

Developer

Thanks!! Hope you find some time to come back to that lvl 7 and beat the game :)

Fantastic game with a unique concept! Clearly a lot of effort was put into the game in such a short amount of time.

Developer

Thanks! :)

This game deserves more ratings and plays! You made an excellent job creating such wonderful soundtrack and game juice! Definitely the puzzles were super engaging too!

Really, one of the few games that I rated so highly!

Developer

Thanks!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

If you think this game should have more ratings and plays it would be super helpful if you can post this game on one of the Community posts like the 'Cool games to rate' one, I've been trying but not been able to promote the game much. People usually plays only the most popular ones, though I don't really complain since this game has more ratings than hundreds of other entries on this game jam, but I'd love to see more people playing it before the evaluation period ends :)

(+1)

yeah, I'd be happy to!

Developer

Thanks!!

Got 4740 (not 5k sadly)

This doesn't have enough plays.

it's in my top 3 games this jam!
So polished and so fun. Also gameplay is super addictive. You managed to not put a tutorial and make the learning ingame.

You could like add some random scale manipulation when the player does nothing (Like sonic).
Maybe a  camera shader would work for game too.  (hard to find new stuff everything is here already).

You should've made more mistakes so i could've given more feedback O_O

Edit : i got it


Developer

Thanks!! I see you managed to break your own record. congrats! :)

You made me laugh regarding me not making enough mistakes for your to give me more feedback lol

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

By the way, if you think this game should have more ratings and plays it would be super helpful if you can post this game on one of the Community posts, I've been trying but not been able to promote the game much.

This is a really charming game that takes the classic gameplay of keys, locks and switches and makes a polished, professional quality game. I enjoyed it a lot! Apart from some very minor graphical glitches between tiles (I think it's a Godot thing with web builds) I can't fault anything. The puzzles were all very well done and increased in difficulty perfectly, adding new concepts one at a time. Beautifully done, a great entry to the jam.

Your story resonated with me also! I've only recently come back to making games after a few years in the professional programming world. I also worked full-time while working on my game and I understand the struggle, it felt like I was on the computer for a week straight!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

I think I already fixed the glitches on my computer but unfortunately I can't upload the fixes during the evaluation week, so they'll be uploaded right after!

And yes, working on the game while also having a full-time job is SUPER exhausting, literally more than 100 hours in front of the computer on a span of 7 days. I completely enjoyed the process though, but it definitely got me really tired by Thursday that week and still had a few days to go. 4 days later and I think I'm still recovering. I will certainly be participating on other game jams in the near future, but I'll leave some time in between them so I don't loose my mind :)

Very well polished! The gameplay was super engaging and got me thinking, was kicking myself when I missed a few of the gems haha. I really liked the respawn effect it was so cool. This is a great game good job!

Developer

Thanks!!

Wow I'm blown away by this. It was very polished and fun, the game was cute, and the puzzles were super challenging (for me). The way all the mechanics worked together was really amazing, and the "hints" were just the right amount of information to be helpful. And the last level....without spoiling anything...was perfect. 

Seriously awesome work.

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
