I've never played around with controls like these, the movement feels very smooth!
The last few levels were a bit harder than expected, but I managed haha.
I didn't like the visual style that much, but I love the music. Good theme and good Soundtrack :)
Feel free to play my game too!
Great game! Smooth controls, though the player does feel a little bit out of control, at times. Coll idea, very creative! I love it!
At first, I thought the condition is a bug then I realize that's the THEME! lol, would be super cool if it conveys the idea more in the dialog that the computer is a liar. I like that you can switch between a platformer and a normal topdown(because I'm really bad at platformer lol), it's a little confusing to me that sometimes the topdown changed back without any feedback. Another thing that confused me is the wall jump, it might be intended to be like this but really annoying that you would do a wall jump just because you are close to the wall. But other than that a really good game with nice levels! I really enjoyed it!
That isn’t intentional. I just wasn’t aware of an easy fix , and instead of wasting time bug fixing a complex fix, I wanted to focus on a few more important things. I am doing a small post jam, so it’ll be fixed in that, don’t worry
Also, I don’t think you interacted with the pink character (although that is my fault, gonna refactor the tutorial as well) as it conveys it well (I think)
Oh yes, I was confused about the pink one like what should I do with it and why the empty room gets repeated lol.
Cool game with some fun ideas. Movement is hard to get used to, but very rewarding once you do.
I had a blast and got slightly frusterated lol. Great work, I made sure to rate!
The game is very difficult, like very difficult. I could not get beyond the 5th or so level, as the movement was just too fast for me. Anyways, good job
yeah, I should’ve made it easier, mainly the one level I know ur talking about.
the wall jumping was all over the place, otherwise great game, love the differnt variety of things i had to do on each levels
Loved the music and level design. The concept is simple, yet the game is challenging
Each level having diffrent failing conditions was so cool :D My only problem would be that the walljump force is too much you should tone it down. Also there are some difficulty spikes that can be frustrating :/ Other than these i think you did a great job :D
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll try toning it down in the post-jam
This game was good but I had a few issues. The tutorial dialogue was obscuring the play area on my machine. I had to randomly press stuff and hope I made it through. It took a couple of try's for me to make it. Then I had a problem with the movement was just unintuitive to get use to. It was well done but just hard to get comfortable with.
Thanks for your feedback. The tutorial was a last minute haphazard thing, should’ve made it better. I’m doing a small post jam to change some silly decisions, so I’ll update it in that.
It's a really ragequiting game, or maybe i'm just bad at it, but after dying 50 times to each level i started to get a hang of it. it is very well polished and fit the theme pretty well.
The end of the girl
The movement system with the sound effects felt very satisfying! Plz check out my game if u can ;)
neat game, cool concept of doing what you're not supposed to do. It was a little tricky to control the player on some of the smaller platforms. Awesome job overall!
I enjoyed the concept of having to do the opposite of what the Game tells you to do! I think the game would have been a lot more enjoyable with some better Movement. It felt a bit unfair to have a precision platformer/ topdown game with unprecise controls. Still impressive how much you made in a week!
I am aware of the imprecise top-down movement, but it bugged out my code when I tried to add in more precise movement, so I unfortunately didn't get to implementing. Good to hear you like the main mechanic tho :D
Very good take on the topic, however it gets a bit repetitive quickly - always the "2 coins" - but, that's understandable for the jam. Really cool music though. I just wish the controls when moving were a bit more delicate as it's sometimes almost impossible to align properly when you have the upgrade to pass things - if it wasn't for that annoyance the game would feel much better!
I love abusing jumping to the left wall and hugging the ceiling though in many levels, feels satisfying :D
Yeah, I am aware of the issue with flying. I couldn't get precise movement (damping) in because I hadn't put any precise parts of it in until the last day, so I went into fix the issue and it broke the code, so big oof to me. If I take it further I'll try add damping tho. I was hoping to have time to add more powerups, and a few extra polish things, but game jam, so I wasn't able too, so I unfortunately didn't get as many levels as I would've liked, which would've made the reoccurronce of the fail types less severe, but game jam.
I thought it was interesting having some gameplay before the main menu, it took me some time to figure out the wall jump but I enjoyed the discovery process for it. I also think it was interesting how gravity would change from room to room, sometimes being a platformer and other times being a top down style game. I'm impressed by how much you were able to get out of the 72 hours for the jam.
If you wanted to improve, I suggest making the change in gravity more apparent. I always have to take a moment with the rooms to see what to do. Some of the rooms felt unfair, like the one where powerups fell directly on the player's head at the start. I think fixing that some and adding a more consistent jump would make this game spectacular. Overall, good job!
Thanks for the tip. I wanted to add more vfx or tips to it. I might if I go further with this make a tutorial level with the powerup to make it less confusing. I think your problem with the jump is that has variability depending on how long you hold jump. If this is not the case, then I will look to my method and see if I can make it better. Thanks for your feedback on the room design. In an ideal world that wouldn't of been how I made that level, but it was unfortunately the best way to make given my current spawning system (everything gets predetermined and spawned on runtime). Thanks for your suggestions and positive comments :D
Great gameplay! I enjoyed the movement and it was rly fun!
thanku
np! i also rly liked ur game for the btp jam!
thanks x2. Imagine if I manage to make my game blow up, twice! That'd be cool, but one can only dream.
I really enjoyed this, the warioware style fail conditions was a nice way to spice things up
Ahh! I hadn’t thought of it like this, and now it looks exactly like it to me. Why Spacespy, WHHHYYYYYY!
The core game loop was fun and I also loved the use of dialogue!
thanks so much for the positive feedback, excited to see ur game :)
This is a unique and interesting concept! (I'm saying this because I made something similar about switching control schemes.) I like the fast paced platformer movement, but I think it doesn't suit this kind of game about precise movement, as I find myself running into coins a lot.
Good game though! had fun!
hey, sorry if it hasn't shown up yet, but have you rated my game, or just commented? Also, thanks for the point about the movement (30 mins into the jam and someone has already told me how silly I am) I'll see how it plays with slower movement.
