amazing game
I quite like the concept, and the visuals are done pretty nicely! I especially like the “wall wave” effect, but the rain was also a nice touch.
Sometimes the game didn’t seem to register my button presses. Otherwise, everything else worked pretty nicely.
I'm glad you liked it!
Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to figure out how to fix the input, but I will work on that when I update this game in the future 👍
The animation of the walls appearing is really cool! I'm gonna have to figure out how to do that myself 🙂 I wish there were some way of knowing how far I'm moving when I take a step. Since the camera follows the player, I can't tell if I'm only moving one step, like a chess board, or if I'm moving all the way to the next wall, like in 2048. Zooming the camera out so we can see the whole playing field would help a lot. Excellent concept!
Thank you for the feedback!
In this game, the character always moves across to the next wall, but I can understand how it's hard to tell where you're going 😅
I think I'll zoom out the camera when I update the game :)
Cool idea, took me a minute to figure out how to play, and that at first you were showing the player where the exit is.
I couldn't get WASD to work in Chrome or Firefox. In fact, the game crashed my whole browser when using firefox.
But neat idea, you should continue to develop this game!
Thank you! I definitely will finish it :)
Also, thanks for letting me know about the crashing, I'll have to fix that before I continue the game 😅
Hey! I know it's not finished but I like the mechanics :). I was a bit confused at first but once I understood the assignment I found my way. What do you had in mind for other levels?
Congrats for submitting a game in such a short time.
I'm glad you liked it!
I actually already drew the levels on my phone, but I didn't have the time to copy them into the game 😔 I made the levels slowly get more complex, with some that had traps that you can't get out of, and I also wanted the level timer to decrease to add a bit of pressure towards the end 😉
I was also going to make all the colour come back when you finish the game, since everything is black and white throughout
Btw, your game looks beautiful! I really want to get good at pixel art because of games like the ones you make :)
