This is such a fantastic concept. Platformers are fun, but having to build and play your own platformer at the same time makes me realize how structuring a level can be difficult. The lovely ball animation and the unique character count limit make this game quite addicting.
However, it really is difficult to control the ball. Also, if you could have the same rubber band like end-of-page scroll animation to the first page, it would make understanding the crank's usage possible from the first level. Also, the transparent characters on the HUD is a nice feature, but annoying when the text below makes the HUD hard to read.
I look forward to a fuller version of this game!
Thank you! Yes the player controller was just hacked together.. I just uploaded an updated version of the prototype now that the jam is over - would love your feedback on the updated player control. Good idea about the crank. And the transparent characters on the HUD was very much a bug haha. I fixed it.
Thanks! I plan to post a full demo soon! I'll post a devlog when I do.
very cool and unique concept. nice risk reward for picking shorter words. movment on the air controll on the jump felt a little off to me, keped falling off, but the bouncy jump animation is realy nice.
Thanks! Yeah I agree about the jump, I need to tweak it. It probably feels wonky since the ground control is less than the air control, so you jump a lot farther/faster than expected
This was such an awesome experience! I went in without reading the description and was confused but as soon as I read it I was like... woah. I'm actually surprised I was able to balance the redactions to get up to the goals as well as I was, I know I cut it close on at least one of the levels. What made you even think of this? SO, so, so rad!
wow this game is amazing! the platforming is on point!
Thanks so much!
What a great idea! Had to come back and read the instructions to understand how to play haha, but it is a pretty simple concept. I would maybe prefer if the B and A buttons were reversed, but its a small complaint. Very cool.
Thank you! I agree that swapping A & B makes more sense.. it worked on the simulator but probably feels weird on a Playdate- I’ll swap them in the next build, thanks!
Was unable to sideload this game
Oh weird, any error messages or anything? The original build was crashing but I fixed it after an hour or so
