Surprisingly kinda tough! I really like the art and the zombie sounds.
Is there a way to restart after you die? 😅
Pretty cool and simple game! A bit hard to get into initially, but really fun when you get the hang of it!
Something about the gif and gameplay of this game immediately reminded me of a game I played years ago on Newgrounds, it was Galaxy Jumper by OneLifeRemains. I recommend you check it out - I think it could give you some inspiration for interesting things to do with the magnetism and ball-hopping mechanics you have going!
I love the overall atmosphere of this game, visuals and audio-wise. The chaotic particle effects, the really pretty customized UI, the way the screen shakes and how all the stuff is all over the screen, it's awesome.
That the platforming is a bit difficult to play, though. Since the platforms are always falling as you stand on them and your shots can't go through platforms, I often found myself being walled from going any higher due to not being able to shoot enemies or platforms falling too low.
That being said, I would love to see where this game goes and where you go as a creator from here. Great stuff!
The art on the game is pretty stellar, I really admire it! Maybe some of the best I've seen in the game jam.
To be honest, I found the game a bit difficult to play for some of the reasons already mentioned - camera, foreground/background differentiation. Also, sometimes the apples don't respawn, making it impossible to continue.
That being said, I really admire the work that was put into this and possibly see what this game looks like in the future if you both choose to work on it!
Fun game! I do think that managing/memorizing the different knights was a bit frustrating though, and I would generally prefer to use the blue/green knights to just dodge instead of using the others. I think there's a lot of potential to this idea though, and I'm very curious to see what you may do with it in the future!
