The visuals are AMAZING, but the black screen transition, the slowness, and the long drop could hinder the gameplay experience. Overall, the game is good. Please rate my game as well (Ascent 2: https://itch.io/jam/polymarsxspeedjam/rate/2864099)
i really love the art nice game plz rate mine too
The art here is an easy 5/5, super well done. Sadly the game is pretty buggy atm, but I am interested to see what you all do with this game post jam, if you plan on polishing it and fixing bugs. If you're interested, check out my game too :)
We will be working on and ironing out the bugs + adding some more content after the jam! Thanks for the great comment :D
It's a very fun experience, it just felt weird that I was able to move during the start when the game's name appeared on screen, and then my timer began before I could even understand what happened, and I accidentally crashed the game by grappling into a wall and no clipping, but it's still a pretty fun game
Alright, first of all, it's a beautiful game with high quality graphics. It is really polished and fun to play (The sort of 2d bunny hop mechanic to keep the momentum is amazing!!!).
However they are some flaws and some bigger than others unfortunately.
Let's start with the tiny ones :
-Death doesnt reset the timer
-The starting "black fog" with the name of the game is too long and you can still move during it
-Some aspects feels unnatural (especially when you have to jump in a hole and to me this hole looked like a graphic bug)
-No music :c
Major flaw :
-A big crash which seems to happens all the time when you have the momentum of a hook and you hook the roof while your character is against it here is a screen that will help hopefully (last frame before the complete crash)
Despite all this, it's a very solid submission!! Congrats and keep it up!
Thank you so much! Unfortunately time ran a bit thin with the programming near the end, I'm glad you enjoyed it! There also is music! I'm unsure why you were unable to hear it as every test run we've had has had it playing with no issues.
I really like the style and the hook. Keep it up! :)
Oh no why is Bhoping both required and frame perfect ;-;
Good game rate mine too please
Great game
Gorgeous visuals!!! The gameplay definitely works for the speedrunning skill ceiling, I wasn't very good at it haha but it was quite satisfying to chain all those grapple hooks in overheat mode, nice! Non-overheat and overheat music could be balanced a little better volume wise but they both sound good! Well done guys!!
Thank you so much :) Will be squashing these bugs in first patch after ratings :)
Like other say good artstyle! I don't know if I did somthing wrong but my player was so slow?
Bit buggy cause the timer already was starting and I didn't see the game yet.
Hey! Thanks for playing!
You gain speed by consistently bunny-hopping and dashing to keep your momentum, and fill your overheat bar!
Wasn't able to play it, didn't load :(
Great art style, Overall a great and fun game. Great Job!
i love the art and sound!
Nice graphics!
Great art and sound effects. The game itself was a bit buggy but the aesthetic was great.
