Neat, simple, quite polished, and clear use of theme. Lovely time, very impressed.

Really nice short game! Adding the secret rooms was pretty cool also. I think though in order for the player to know if he collected all orbs the UI may say like x / 25 orbs. There are few stuff from game that can be improve, and most of them were mentioned, but there was one that my eyes kept looking at and was that whenever you jumped the sprite will reset facing left. Overall, great job! is a really fun platformer game to play. Congrats on your entry

Hello! Thank you, I plan on using the orbs as a currency at some point which is why I don't have a out of. In my offline build I have fixed the jump sprite issue. Thanks again for playing.

Nice little platformer! Short and sweet, I love it. Cute backrounds and a cute character.

Thanks, good video!

Pretty good game! It really felt as if I was exploring a living and breating world. Since I think you're going to continue on this game, let me give you some feedback.

First of, I think that the moving platforms need to be faster because dying means that you'll have to wait a lot and player will get a bit bored.

Secondly, the gravity of the player is a bit too intense so I suggest making it lower, because whenever I fall it feels like i'm falling at light speeds.

Last but not least, I think some enemies could be useful to help make the world feel a bit more alive.

I hope everything goes well for the future of your game!

Thank you, this was really mostly jus a prototype to test out the ideal. I have tons of stuff planned, and I have been working on it quite abit. I have been taking my time, and working out better systems, artwork, and code. Thanks for the tips!

ItsGeppySubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Nice little game! Few things i noted though, the platforms are a little too slow and i'd prefer to have the jump on either space, W or up arrow for a couple reasons: i'm in a very uncomfortable position cause i have to hold both hands on keyboard and so close to eachother, and most platformers do that so it took some time to get used to. Could just be me not used to keyboard only controls, but you could still include W and space as options and still keep J as jump if you so wish. No other complaints, overall not bad! Good job! :)

DecliveverDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Sounds Great. I am working on a better version, it includes, faster platforms, controller support. I plan on doing re-mappable buttons at some point as well.

Thanks for the feedback!!

TreemoloSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Nice platformer!

You shoul tweak the moving platform speed, because it becomes tedious to wait for them to come, more when you die multiple times in a section.

I actually liked the painted style backgrounds, are unique. Keep it up!

I made a platformer too. I'd like to know what do you think of it and how I can improve it!

GolopogusSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Nice game! I have to agree with others on some heavy movement, but that changes as you receive more upgrades so it's not the biggest of deals. Really like the environment and character animations!

Feel free to check out my game as well!

Thank you, I plan on upgrading the game after the jam, you can see where I am currently at with the dev updates section.

Hey man!

Great lil game. I actually didn't have a problem with the movement. Idk why everyone wants things to be easy, I enjoy when it takes a lil skill (obv if you play my game haha). I actually do like the music too. reminds me of paper mario ttyd. It is repetitive for sure and you should give it a hook and build and what not, but I like the direction! I did get stuck once and to restart which was annoying. It was on the upper level near the water, it spawned me inside the ground for some reason and I couldn't get out.

Please check out my game if you get a chance!

Good Game, most of the sprites looked alright and the levels were quite fun,

few problems though:

-Character jump is way so small and falls way to fast

-The music is short and respective

-The moving platforms move WAYY to slow

If you have the time could please rate / give feed back to my submission as well.

HelperWesleySubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Cute game, looked good, and the level itself was laid out well.

Couple of complaints being:
-That music needs to be re-done.
-You character feels like he's made of a tonne of bricks. He falls a lot faster than you'd expect him to.

In And Out - Night Burglar

Nice game! I enjoyed the squishy feeling character. The only thing i can say is that some of the platforms are a bit slow, and maybe use space for jumping next time. Well done on your game!

Lost in the dungeons

devdaveSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Nice little project :). When making a platformer, I think paying super close attention to the character movement and getting that right has to be priority #1. Player movement/controls make this game harder than in should be. Improving on that would make the game much more enjoyable. I like the art you made. Doing everything yourself must have been a lot of work! Mad props for that.

There and Back (Viking edition)

thanks I have been updating the game offline, with feedback in mind. Look out for a update after the jam.

WoolamanderSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Good simple platformer with tight controls that felt pretty good. I would suggest increasing the speed of the moving platforms. I had to restart that first platform room a few times due to impatience and trying to make the jump :X. Cheers!

Expecting Groceries

Cool game, i personally didnt like the music. Nevertheless the design and art are great. Could advance too much because I died a lot. (im bad at platformers)

Feel free to check my game

zcarterSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Nice game! I liked the art style. There were some orbs and platforms that seemed impossible to reach because the jump was too small. I'm not sure if there was an intended way to be able to do that and it wasn't clear, or if the jump was just not set correctly. Overall though it was pretty cool!

If you have time I would love it if you played and rated my game :)

The Great Outback

DecliveverDeveloper4 years ago

there is a double jump ability about 1/2 way through that makes all orbs 100% possible.

zcarterSubmitted4 years ago

Ah I see sorry I didn't get far enough to find that. I will be sure to try it again and try to get farther.

Fun game dude! I enjoyed playing it! If you could also check out my game that would be great!

I checked it out, good game!!

BAM StudioSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Nice game, but the platforms are too slow,

I think is weird to have "j" as jump, but I think It's ok.

The music was good, and It fit the game pretty good.

Submitted

DecliveverDeveloper4 years ago

I plan on mappable keys and controller support.

PhoopiesSubmitted4 years ago(+1)

Cute game with awesome music and sounds. The platforms are really slow and frustrating >:D

I would appreciate if you could check my submission and leave some feedback :) Thanks !
