I used Gdevelop. It's pretty limited as an engine and I don't think you can add multiple colliders. I also don't think that would work because when the direction of gravity changes a different side would be in contact with the platforms. I tried increasing linear dampening but it affected jumping. I also tried to change the speed when in collision with a platform but it bugged out. I'll keep working on it after the jam and see if I can find a solution. Thanks for the advice!
I tried to fix the vertical speed but I have no idea how to do that in the Gdevelop Physics Engine without also affecting the "walking" speed. I could in theory add 4 extra points to the object for 4 independent ground checks based on the orientation of the gravity and add a second set of controls for the object in the air. I'm not sure that the physics engine would handle that well and it might cause more bugs than it would add features. I was also limited by an extra day as I was busy the last full day and a half of the jam. I might keep playing with this idea as a side project though. Thanks for playing the game. I appreciate the feedback!
I thought about changing the sprite of the cube to have an arrow pointing towards the gravity source but it kind of ruined the aesthetic. Do you think there would be an easier solution? I racked my brain and the only other idea would be a UI element but my game was kind of lacking in the UI department.
I saw bolt as an option a long time ago but this is the first time I've ever worked on a game outside of a class in high school. I completely forgot about it. thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will def be using unity in the next game jam! Hope to see you then!
It definitely needs some work on the movement such as the ability to press the opposite direction and run your head directly into... itself? but I like the idea and mechanics and even the music. the execution just needs some work. :)
This game is awesome. the effects were a bit overbearing at first but it makes sense for the world to be so jarring if you're asleep and trying to wake up. My only gripe would be the lack of character animations. but over all incredibly solid one of my favorites! 9.8/10
Everything looks and sounds amazing but the game is lacking depth. I'll chalk it up to time restraint. this game is awesome for the time limit and I'd love to see a more in-depth version in the future!
Yeah, I'm thinking of switching to unity. I figured Gdevelop would be easier as I am not very fast at non-visual scripting. Thank you for playing the game!
10/10. The only issue I had was when throwing water down below me it would sometimes be glitchy and throw me off. I wouldn't hold it against this game. I absolutely love it!
It's a bit finicky at times and could use some audio. The mechanics are pretty solid and I could see myself playing for hours if this was fleshed out as a mobile game! 😁
I thought some people might have trouble with level 4. You didn't miss much. Level 5 is essentially credits. I should have made a level selector. That's my bad. Thanks for playing the game. 😀😀😀
I agree the music wasn't very good but this is my first time making game music and I didn't know what tools to use. if you have any recommendations I would appreciate it! I made the game as a standalone for windows but decided last second to release it as HTML5 in hindsight I probably should have removed the exit button before the export.🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I spent way too much time trying to fine-tune the jump sound. 🤣 I liked the feeling on level 4 of not resetting the velocity so I left it. so we'll call it a bug that is also a feature.
Thanks for the feedback I really do appreciate it. I hope to see you in future jams!
I'm not much of an artist and I tried to make a different character but it was... not great... so a cube it is. I will work on improving my art in the future. Thanks for playing!
