Hey thanks Tubby! It started with a simple idea and and I piled on more ideas so your idea about expanding it is spot on! Oh I just realized from your avatar you made the desert game! Incredible!!!
Hey thanks John! I was afraid to release it actually since I knew it required a fun community and I wasn't sure how it would work there. Of course I could only test on my channel with me and my test account since I don't stream so when I saw the results I was really happy. Thank you also for providing a great Jam!
ah thank you!! I know I always put controls in but I ran out of time. Especially at the end I wanted the plain circle to be a heart shape. I even know how to do it.
Ah that's so great you liked it! It's a weird game and I just added crazy ideas i had along the way and when that happens a good idea at the time might not be that good since it's not planned or thought out. It's risky but sometimes it pays off.
Hey thanks for playing it! Yeah exactly, some of those flash games were great.
You can enter any channel in the box next to where it says twitch channel. I found the ones with around 200 to 1000 viewers the most fun. Although it depends on how active the chat is. Some are surprising. I've seen 1000 viewer chats have almost no chatting. The only problem is of course a random chat they won't know about the special chat commands.
Hey I was thinking about the controls and what it means for them to be slippery. Basically the ferret has a mass and friction And when you press left it applies a force to the left and right applies a force to the right. And jumping applies an upward force. So when you say it was slippery how would that translate to the physics parameters for the ferret? Would you adjust the mass? would you adjust the friction? would you adjust the force? I have tried many combinations until it felt right. I gradually got good and was able to move through the levels pretty fast given the parameters I used.
Hi, thanks for playing it! One thing to try I think that might help. Can you juggle? If you can you know you start out repeating a very simple task. Just transfer one ball from one hand to the other and you repeat that for a while. Now apply that to the ferret controls. On the first level on one of the thin horizontal platforms just move side to side with the goal of getting as close to the edge without falling off by holding left and right and only lifting your finger once per pass. Basically just oscillate back and forth in a slow consistent rhythm. Repeat that until you can consistently get very close to each edge without falling off. Once you can do that add some jumping in there and still maintain your accuracy. I believe once you can do this you will be very good with the controls.
