cool game and fun to play, but could use some work. maybe having the same loud sound play everytime you hit something isn't the best idea? at least it got annoying to me.


The physics are also a little hard to control. Bouncing off the walls gets hard to estimate exactly where you are going to land, which leads to more deaths. speaking of, when you restart at a checkpoint, your timer resets. I'm pretty sure this is not intended, as that completely defeats the point of the timer. also I found the two buttons "restart" and "checkpoint" to be a little weird. restart should be below checkpoint on the menu. 


The gunplay was good enough, I really liked the recoil with the shotgun, but I found it a little hard to shoot enemies, as there are almost no hit indicators or a crosshair/aiming visual at all. also I feel like you could have stuck to the theme a little more. i know when you hit the red you "overheat", but its the same basic function as most platformers, and there is nothing saying it is fire or lava or whatever.


besides all that, this game is still fun to play. good job, make sure to rate mine too!

Cool game! Really fun to get the gun and just boost yourself through the rest of the level. The graphics are simple but work well :)

Nice game! I think some of the visual effects could be toned down a bit, but you did a great job of getting a good aesthetic without a lot of art assets. I liked the gameplay but the upgraded gun seemed insanely OP, once I got it I just flew past the entire rest of the level

yea the end part of the game was super rushed. i made it like half an hour before the deadline so you can just skip it all

Submitted

I like the controls and the physics

Developer

thank you!!

Good game! It has potential for speedrun. it's a bit too bright. For me the camera has a bit to much prediction and sometimes feels slow. Also 'restart' button can be accidentally pressed instead of 'checkpoint'

Developer

thanks for the feedback, ill fix the bug after the jam ends!

its a great game and ima big fan of the gameplay (especially the shotgun part), as well as the parallax effect. but the bright colors in the background make it hard to distinguish between the background and the foreground, and the bloom is a bit brighter than desired. If you know what I mean.

thanks for the feedback - yea the background was a bit of a afterthought

I really like the visuals, also the movement feels super good :D

Developer

Yea, i spent the most time on movement. Visuals are kinda last second lol

The game feels nice, aesthetics are simple but cool

Developer

Thanks!!

The game is really nice! The movement was a bit too smooth for my taste but it has great speedrun potential!

Developer(+1)

Thanks :)

I don't particularly like platformers but this has to be my favorite one so far in this jam. The mechanics are simple but I think that's the strength of this game. Just as a point for improvement, right now, because of the layout, it's very easy to mispress "restart" instead of "checkpoint" which resets all progress.

Developer

Thanks - yea most of the menu is kind of fucked since I did it last minute so i´ll fix it after the jam

Really cool game.

I really like the visuals and the concept!

I think that there are too many collision sounds which is annoying after a while.

Overall, cool game

Developer

thx <3
