Pretty great game! Achieving a difficult-but-fair feel is NOT easy for any dev, let alone with a time constraint, so I'm impressed.
It took me a while to get to this score...
but I **KNOW** I can do better, and I will, as the replayablility for this game is fantastic. Even though I'm not exactly a top-tier player, (lol) I don't feel robbed either. Can't wait to come back and play again! Definitely got me interested in PICO-8 too!
EDIT: There's supposed to be an image in the review, but it's not showing up on my end now. Anyways, my score was 234M :)
If you're a player and didn't have fun, go back to the game and take it sloooow. I went in thinking I had to go up as fast as I could and I did not have a good time this way. But then I saw all the glowing reviews and I figured I missed something. I didn't realize the screen only moved up when you move up and I could take each platform one at a time. With this new perspective I HAD A BLAST! Really fun addicting gameplay and nice art. I may be just bad at it but there were a few times where I thought platforms where unfairly placed. But overall super job on this!
I enjoyed this way more than I expected from looking at the screenshots! I wanted music in the world so badly, but I know how it goes, sometimes you don't have the time or resources. Couldn't put my thumb on the application of the theme... but still, amazing product for a jam game, super fun!
Very glad you enjoyed it :) The debuffs you get on your way are permanent, but you can counteract them by getting buffs, so you cant just wait out if you have a -7 jump or something. I know it isn't the best, but I feel like it fits at least somewhat.
I see, not bad at all!
Really cool game!!! Looks pretty polished and is definitely something I could see myself spending lots of time on. Great submission
honestly this is awesome if this was on the app store i would so much time playing this over and over again! great work!
This was really cool. It had quite a good frantic vibe even though there wasn't anything in particular rushing me. I would love a two player mode, or race or something.
Really neat that you lose buffs instead of health. Nice aesthetics!
Very fun! makes me wish I were better at games like this!!
I'm not sure if this is something I can just do myself in the pico-8 player (but if so I couldn't find it), but I'd like to suggest a setting that swaps jump + buff display. I feel like it might be more comfortable for some players (myself included).
Didn’t even think of that! Definitely going to add that after the jam!
Just wanted to add if anyone is wondering:
The idea is that every debuff you get are permanent, but you can counteract them with buffs of the same stat. Its not the best implementation of the theme, but I think it fits :)
I keep putting off rating this game because I can't stop playing it! You nailed that "one-more-game" feeling! The art is top-notch too; (I love the scrolling backgrounds!)
Really happy to hear you liked it :)
It is addictive!
A little speedy for me, but it plays nice. Good job
Cool to see an endless runner with some added mechanics!
No problem understanding the gameplay and had fun!
I would love to see not jumping with the up button as well as some sliding animations on walls to make it easier to wall jump.
I'll look into that if I'm continuing development! Thanks for feedback :)
The game is fun , I liked the level design and it does take time to get used to it its fun overall lovable artstyle cool concept and the game is pretty great and smooth ran into one issue when I first started I fell down by accident and the game didn't restart I was imply walking in the void outside my view but other than that its great well earned solid rating!
