Somehow i couldn't jump high enough to get on the first platform.

nontheless funny game, but got at some point really laggy ^^

Developer(+1)

The plat form immediately next to you you shouldn't be able to reach, but there are two or three to further to the right that you can.

If you can't reach those, then you've found an unintentional bug somewhere :p

It's not the first time that some physics in an unity webgl build are not working correctly on my gaming pc. however on my laptop i could jump much higher. maybe you could contact https://itch.io/profile/snapplers . I had a simmilar problem with his game https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/552266 but he said, that he may found the issue. could be the same reason?

Developer

The way I implemented jumping uhm, has a lot to be desired. I had to do botch it because it was being inconsistent, so I'm guessing the difference came from there.

If there's one thing I've learnt from this, it's that I need to change how I do jumping, thanks for flagging it to me!

Really loved it. Sadly i had to stop because the game became really lagy at - 105 health lol.

Great game.

I loved this game!  The controls felt great, the idea worked well, and I gotta be honest I'm a sucker for simple graphics for some reason lol.  Nice work!

Btw I'd love for ya to check out my game, if you don't mind :)  https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-2/rate/552768

Very nice experience, it's great :)

Fascinating twist on something that we generally just take for granted - a health system. Wish I could jump with W or the up arrow. I prefer having the movement on one hand.


The way you can exploit the system is actually quite a lot of fun! Good job!

Developer(+2)

Thanks! I was chuffed when the idea hit me :p

See, the tutorial says "WASD or Arrowkeys" to move because I'd somehow managed to trick myself into thinking that I had made W or up arrow a jump.

Ah well, live an learn haha.

This is a very great game it could be cool if some enemies would heal the player instead of killing it as a lot of potential for a mobile game

Developer

Thank you! That's a really nice idea, actually... If I don't abandon this here I'll implement that for sure!

Submitted(+1)

It's a really great game tbh! The only feedback I can give is that the music and the game goes a bit repetitive after some time playing! Afterall good job!

Developer

Thanks! Music really isn't my forte :p

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the strategy behind this game, I thought at the start "Why would I ever want to lose health" but then after a few rounds I discovered the benefits of the trade off! The tutorial was also a really nice touch, as well as the camera shake animations! Overall, this is a great jam entry!

Submitted

Nice one! Having trade offs are nice!

Fun little game. Visual pleasing even without a lot of over the top art. Sounds got a little repetitive though.

Fun game, couldn't find the bug myself tho.

Developer

If you manage to get to - 1 hp, you don't die :p ie, get hit by the bouncy guys twice in a row

It's a neat game!  The simple shape art looks great with the colors and particle systems.  I like the screen shake as well!  Keep working on it, it's fun.  Great job submitting a game~ Please check out my browser game when you can.

Great little fun game!

I wish there was more oomph to the bullets and a little more variety to the enemies.

But considering it’s a jam game, it’s a great game!

Thanks for such a fun little game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! There are still a few kinks that need to be ironed out, but I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!
