Thank you, but I suggest not considering stuff like the extras content added in version 1.1 for the rating, this is stuff added in an update that is not supposed to count for the rating of the jam, which is why I didn't remove the original 1.0 version
as for not getting killed, you have to listen carefully for specific footsteps to know if the enemy is near, its logic is a little complex but just keeping the console closed or using the flash of the camera when its very close will make it go away for some time
Very well done and polished game, only complaint is that dash could've been put to a different key or a mouse button cause having to repeatedly double-tap is just not comfortable
this game is really fun, I enjoyed speedrunning it a lot
Only problem is that it seems the level select screen shows your latest time, and not your personal best, you could just write your PBs down, but I feel like you should replace the latest time with the personal best, and maybe add your PB near the timer in level after you play it for the first time.
Thank you for the feedback, I took a break form it for quite a while and I found it harder and harder to work with, comments like this keep make me more motivated to continue this project. I'll probably have to rewrite a lot of code, you know, spaghetti code...
It will take some time to have something to show,expecially for the collision, thank you again.
The
videogame industry is a special one, it's an industry were you can't
just tell a story, you have to put good, engaging gameplay to say
it's a videogame. What I love about videogames is how the gameplay
and the story can fuse together, and Poppin & Jupa: Pocket
Adventure does this perfectly.
Calling
this “Pocket Adventure” wouldn't be fair, despite the fact taht
this is a demo, this game already feels huge, but let's start with
the protagonists.
After
the first dialouge between Poppin and Jupa, all I wanted was to hear
more, Jupa introduction shows her exciting nature, and Poppin's
dialouge shows his more serious and curious nature, they're both very
well written.
Their
idle animations are beautiful, sometimes Jupa would fall asleep, and
I loved when they started playing together.
I
really liked how you can heal your friend by hugging him, but it
feels very slow, I'm not saying it should be instant, but it's very
difficult to heal your friend during a boss fight.
The
main combat mechanic is very unique, and it feels really good to
play, for some reasons I can't jump while pressing up, so it was
difficult to attack under the enemies.
The
actual combat is very fluid and fast, I really liked that you can
charge your attack, you colud add a moon walk option so that the
player can't turn around when charging.
I
also liked how Poppin and Jupa have different abilities, Poppin being
able to pull heavy stuff was very smart, but I don't see why he
couldn't crawl.
Another
problem I have is how easy the game is, after one of the protagonists
dies, you can wake him up, but there isn't a limit on how much you
wake up your partner.
After
playing through the entire demo, played trough it again and again, I
know you have been daveloping this game for a long time, and I can't
wait for the final product. Great job!!!
The game is really fun on mobile, there are a lot of different levels, now you should work on the little things: maybe you could make the countdown for the levels go faster after you die, it's a little fraustating to die and have to wait to retry. I'd also suggest a text that tells you how fast the cube falls.
The game looks very good, but I think the feel of the game could have been better, you can't attack while falling, the levels are big but when I die I start from the beginning, and for some reasons I can't see the health bar
I'm happy you're waiting for my games, Autumn Story is going to be a big thing, but for now I'm still learning, a demo for another game is coming soon.
This game is good, the movement, the explosions, and the hitboxes feel great. I liked the parallax scrolling, it really effects the immersion, and the game manages to fell great even without screenshake.
I think the player should meet the first boss earlier, I was almost to quit, thimking the enemy waves would just restart. I also noticed that staying on the bottom center with the green 3-projectiles kills most of the enemies before they can hit you.
Overall, I think this game woyld be better on mobile phones instead than PCs, but it's still good on PC ;)
Thank you for the feedback, the pallete update will make the game more readable. An upcoming small update will showcase the new pallete and more levels.
Thank you Jalecko, I'm going to rework all the sprites with the Endesga 32 pallete. I'll be happy if you could reply with some screenshots of the sprites with bad pixel size.
The concept is great. But it's hard to understad what you have to do at first, maybe a little cutscene could help a new player to understand what to do.
