Cool vfx and gameplay concept but unfortunately held back by the camera and controls :/ I think even just allowing players to change momentum in air would improve the gamefeel significantly.
Not quite my cup of tea as I don't have much experience with games like this, but I can tell there was some real care put in here to give the player total control of their ship! Great work :)
Super slick pixel art and sound design! I think I encountered a bug where the kick animation would stop right after starting, which ended up killing me a couple times. Still had a lot of fun with this one though, great job :)
cool concept! the captcha at the end was pretty funny lmao. i found the firing system a bit tedious sadly. i kept aiming and then realizing i hadn't yet loaded a bolt in. the pulleys often jumped to the wrong position when i clicked on them too. but overall i enjoyed myself. keep up the good work!
this was a lot of fun! tight controls, solid platforming! there were some tough sections but it wasn't too bad since enemies didn't respawn. unfortunately the game froze when i got to the door at the top of the tower, but i still had a great time :)
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself! The sandbox mode was a bit of a last-minute addition for the exact reason you mentioned. We had a lot of fun messing around with infinite items during development and figured it would be a good way to introduce players to the mechanics without throwing them in the deep end. The nail freezes objects in place :)
Yup, this was 100% intended :) A key part of the design philosophy was creating items that could interact with each other in fun ways, even if it wasn't necessarily realistic!
Cool concept with the jenga blocks! I did find myself spending the whole game running away from an ever growing mob of enemies, so it would be cool to add a special attack that can take out a bunch at once.
nicely done! great graphics and sound design! movement felt really smooth and satisfying.
i personally would've preferred a few more checkpoints as it was a bit frustrating to have to redo the same challenges i already passed just to get back to what i was currently working on. that kind of difficulty can definitely work in a full game! but imo in jams like this people are playing so many games that they might not have the patience to sit through the same thing they just did like 10 times lol. especially if they JUST completed the challenge and then immediately die on the next one with no checkpoint in between. definitely not speaking from experience here :P
of course! the issue with the pots might be solved if you make some simpler collision shapes. honestly if you have a big complicated bunch of polygons like that it's better for performance to simplify their collision shapes as well. i probably would've just put a big box over all the pots lol.
pretty cool! i was immediately drawn to your game by the creepy low poly jester in the thumbnail. i liked the graphics a lot, what shaders did you use? unfortunately i got stuck in some geometry in the room with all the pots and had to quit. i wish there was a pause menu or at least some other way to for the player to regain mouse control.
there are some really solid ideas here tho! it's TOUGH trying to coordinate between 5 people especially as beginners (i would know), so don't feel too bad if the product didn't quite come out the way you hoped. yeah a more experienced solo dev might be able to do something similar in a few days, but there's literally no need to judge yourselves on that standard lol. just because you have 5 people doesn't mean you can make something 5 times faster. keep up the good work.
