Everything is Box2d. In most of my Jams I've always done simple custom AABB collision checking with rectangles or circles. But this seemed like the perfect excuse to finally dive into Box2d, way too many custom shapes/polygons to worry about. And doing it myself would probably take forever and just have a worse result anyway.
So festive! Great job. Was doing fine at first, then it got way too busy and could not last. It was after that I read the ICE Mechanics. Which I should have done first. Helped a heck of a lot. This would be great with a 2nd player as well.
Great work! Love the randomization and collecting treasure for "Points" classic. Perfect with the theme. Had some issue's with the .jar version staying open in the background when exiting. But other than that good show.
Awesome Work. You did a great job with the style and music pairing. All the little effects and particles were nice touches. Also, the game itself had that nice, simple to pick up and understand what was going on aspect to it. :-D
Ah, the Champion has arrived! Glad you enjoyed it. That secret passage was a mercy. When testing that level, I was like. Ya know, this is a little TOO frustrating to backtrack through. How about a tiny bit of "help" for those who can read signs. Glad it didn't go unnoticed. Thanks again for the nice words!
Don't tell me what keys not to press. I'll mash C and V as much as I want! But seriously though, another trippy entry. I didn't even realize it was a cube at first. Took a moment to figure it out. But after I did I was crushin it. Great Work!
Great work and choice of music and sfx to set the mood. And there's nothing wrong with vector lines to build a map sets a nice style, hehe. Gets pretty difficult as well. Great entry!
This was great. The mechanics were exactly on point with the theme. Felt like a fully realized concept, which worked great with the puzzles you came up with and using interactions with the past version of yourself was done really well. Great work. One of the best of the jam.
Thanks! And I totally agree. Needed a lot more chaos. This jam schedule was super tight. I was a bit disappointed in my output this time around. I'm working on trying to add some more stages before the jam review, so it's not over in 15 seconds lol.
Ah, thanks man. So the code to deal with the recorded moves is done in a surprisingly simple, but probably messy way. I literally just have an array with an instance object that contains the x and y positions and the characters current animation state. Every frame I just add an entry to that array. And then when time comes to "go back in time" I basically just create a new player character and every frame i update the time clone characters x and y positions along with state, to match what the array holds for that frame. So the clones are not performing any actuations, just frame by frame going to the x and y coords and state i recorded for that particular frame. Again, Thanks for playing. Also, just updated it to add the levels which I was not able to put in originally in time for the jam review.
Yea, with the Holiday around the corner time is limited. So I was looking for a way to keep it very simple while still keeping it on theme AND shoehorning in some seasonal holiday cheer somehow. lol Thanks for playing.
Thanks for giving it a try! I went through like 6 different background music choices and searched itch for like 6 hours until I found one that worked. lo
Haha! To be honest I'm a terrible typist. I can't actually beat the game in it's current state. So there may be a balance issue I need to fix up. lol Thanks for taking the time to play! :-D
Great to know! That must have slipped through I should have all that browser control nonsense locked down. I'll try to fix that eventually. lol Thanks for playing
While I don't have any specific use for these right now, maybe in a Jam game one day. These character sprites are very well done, so I picked them up to show some support. Keep up the amazing work!
These effects are very well done. While I don't necessarily need them for anything right now. I picked them up as a nice to have for the future. Keep up the great work.
Great work. I love the ultra simplified pixel art for all the underwater creatures and the sounds you chose to use. I'll be honest, I only made it to level 7 before I had to cheat. Those damn tracking octopi. I did manage to beat level 20 though. So I don't feel too bad. Good job
This was a challenge but in the end I earned my Eternal reward! Overall this was a great entry, felt like a micro game sorta thing, basic task, multiple mechanics, short story added in for flavor as well. Good Show! My only suggestion. In a game like this where you are expected to die a lot. I think it would of been a nice QoL feature that when I die, I could just "press any key" to retry from the death screen instead of using the mouse to click to continue. :-D
