Honestly, it is a really bad game, my first really. But a short game where bugs are intentional.

clever mechanics just a little complex for my liking, but really well done 

Developer

Thanks for the response!


I actually legitimately want to know the complex game mechanics. I just have a 1 in 60 chance every frame to boost your velocity in the direction your currently moving.

This lets you stay still and not move while having some control when you do. With a narrow hallway, you can not jump to the side into your death just forwards a bit faster.


By the way, thanks for rating! What did you give it? (Criticism is always constructive for me.) Also, I you can't see anybody's rating until after the voting period has ended.

i guess I just had poor or good luck depending on how you look at it, at some points I was zipping around and other others it was quite slow comparative. And it was quite hard for me to adjust to the changes. Very well done however, good game

The controls are, weird and the music gets rather repetitive rather quickly. If there was more to do it would be better. Overall a good start for a game though.

Developer

The music was a last effort for inmprovment, made in 1 minute...

If enough people want a full game, I could add more  game mechanics, levels, etc.

Hi!!! good job there!!! I enjoyed the buggy movement, i wish i had more obstacles to avoid! when i got out i got pretty lost and was just wondering around O_O Simple and solid game ^^ 

Developer

Sadly that is the entire game because of time constaints. I always do the level/s last so I have an almost 100% complete game at least with a small level at worst because everything is already complete.

If you and enough people enjoy the game enough and give a good rating, I would be happy to make extra levels and mechanics, maybe 2 or 3 enemy types for example. Make sure to follow me if you would like to be notified when for when a part 2 is released if one is made.

Nice little game, i liked the pixel art. but try zo be consistent and have one type of art everywhere (the menu could be pixel art too). The buggy movement is more frustrating than fun but i can see the time that went into making it feel buggy, and it does :D

Developer

I hope you still enjoyed the game thought!

The random movement was added fairly quickly late into development as just extra topic related mechanics. All I did was have a 1 in 60 chance each frame that it will do a large increase in velocity in the players input direction. Repeat this for both the x and y axis and you get this random movement on average every second. I then fine tuned the ammount you move and chance that you will move so that it is just enough that it makes some difference to your game but not to much to be a 100% game of chance.

Nice game with cool story, maybe little short.

Developer

Yeah, the level itself was the last part I created, so it is just a demo level. If I create a part 2 / extra level/s, I willadd extra content and features, maybe an enemy but I will certainly take all of the feedback. Let me know if you would like to play a part 2 or an extra level/s and follow to get notified if I make one.

Cool!

I have no idea where to go after I've escaped though. Also, the glitchy movement is just infuriating.

Developer

Sadly that is the entire game...

If enough people want, I will add a part two but leave this jam submision as a secondary download.

I'm not totally sure what the overall game is supposed to be. The only way I can see it relating to the theme is with inconsistent glitchy movement, a sort of rage game. Overall decent work.

I think it would have looked better if it was a little bit brighter, but other than that it was pretty good. 

Developer

If I create a part two that is longer, I will change the graphics on the new version.
