Something in me just kept wanting to collect the boxes to see what they do even if they kept hurting me. Story of my life I guess XD Nice polished game!
Thanks for playing, I hope life stops throwing boxes at you!
177 seconds, not bad. It's always a pleasure to find Kenney's assets on a game. Really fun and I appreciate that you don't die touching the borders, and it pushes a little, that feels perfect. I finally decided to avoid boxes since it seems like they are more negative than positive effects, ha. Congratulations on finishing it, and I hope next time you can make it on time!
Thanks for playing and getting so far - I like that you took a bnit of a strategic approach of spacing out the boxes :) Planning on staying very strict on the 3 hours for the next jam!
Very fun little game. Only complaint is it would have been nice for moving sideways to actually move sideways, as opposed to slightly moving up like it does.
Thanks for playing! I hadn't actually considered that part of the movement, thanks for raising that
Hey, really glad you decided to submit even though you went over the limit. The gameplay was very smooth and balanced and I kept playing to see how weak my character could become after losing my dash recharge. Unfortunately, the boxes ran out so I also survived for 221 seconds :D
Thank you for the kind words, but particularly for playing to the end! I feel now that I should have created a 'Win' screen for people who made it to 221 seconds :O
I really liked it! Not easy to survive when you no longer have the dash :D
On the other hand, I don't know what happened, but at one point I ran out of boxes. So I finished the game until the timer ran out. So I survived 221 seconds. But anyway, I really enjoyed the gameplay! Well done :D
Thanks for playing, and for getting so far with it! I just realised that I only coded a certain number of box effects and once the player had them all the boxes stop spawning - unaware of the fact that this means I accidentally created a hard end to the game 🤦♂️
Good Game only the sound is missing
Thanks for playing! :)
