Pretty cool platformer. The animations are a bit offset to your actions though and jumping off of curved surfaces is pretty finicky. The theme seems to be somewhat lacking from the game design of this, but good job on completing the game regardless!
Thank you! Fully agree. The collision was a bit weird with the curved edges. I even almost decided to fully cut them (which is why there were none in the ice levels).
With the knowledge I know now after the fact, I would love to draw more frames for the enemies. (And draw our own character model)
The game looks good and the level design is quite varied.
Besides the obvious lack of music and sound, my main gripe is the jump height, it is way to big and it forces the player to make leaps of faith a lot. You could almost cut that height in two IMO.
You've got good ideas, keep up the good work!
Side note, try to make a web build for your next jam as people usually don't chance installing stuff on their computer.
Thank you! Totally agree on everything you said.
Originally, we were supposed to have 9 levels for 3 floors, but a bug had come with our enemies that consumed a lot of time, so I wasn't able to to dedicate as much time as I would have liked to the later levels.
The leap of faiths definitely weren't planned. I think they sneaked by when we changed some camera settings.
We also compiled a web build, but we didn't realize how to submit it until it was too late.
We have plans to clean everything up when we can update the game. I'd definitely would love to add some music and sound effects when I get back to my keyboard.
You know I never liked platformers too much but although this one is super simple I kinda has fun!
I love that. 😂
It's a bug?
Or a new feature XD
