Erm. Is it just me or has the jam reset?! The timer is saying that submissions close in a week.

Am I missing something?

Yeah totally agree it definitely needs some more juice, especially when catching - unfortunately I didn't have much time to work in it.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!

Thanks for playing.

Could you elaborate on the movement? Was this due to the speed of the movement? Were you using a keyboard to move, or was there a performance issue?

I'm interested because I think there's definitely many flaws with the game but I didn't imagine that would be one of them.

Thanks again!

Thanks for posting this. I've played and rated a couple of these but have also missed some - it's quite a time-consuming business getting through them!

Glad you like it, thanks for giving it a go!

Yes please if you have a moment free. Thanks!

Yeah I second this. It could do with the shots feeling like they have more of an impact.

Good job though, well done!

Ooh yes please I would love to get some feedback!

Thanks for all your input, your a gent!

Genuinely tense, love the way the sound effects ramp up the tension and indicate my impending doom!

Bloody fantastic. 

I love the snooker-like physics. Even the menu is great. I'd love to see where this goes with some tweaking!

Some really cool mechanics and design. Nice job!

My first game jam submission wasn't really complete so I know how you feel - I bet you learned a lot from the experience?! 

There's definitely the beginning of something that could be decent and there's some good mechanics in there once they've had some work.

Well done on your first jam, keep on it!

Not really sure what's going on here. I keep exploding for no apparent reason then nothing happens. I was wondering what the comment below meant and now I suppose I know!

Same

Nice concept. Looks like it's been said in previous comments that it would be nice to have more UI detail but very cool!

I did nearly finish so must be a decent platformer! I thought the wall jumping and floaty jumping felt weird at first but when you get used to it I settled in. Good job!

Very 'chilling'! What did genuinely freak me out was seeing my name in the window title!

Ah cool OK, thanks!

Yeah I thought I might have made it a bit too difficult in the end - I probably would have done some sort of progression with ramping up of difficulty if I had more time - classic case of the developer being the only playtester!

There is a 'health bar' that gradually decreases and is topped up by catching the flies - but I definitely made it too small and tucked away in the corner where it was not clear enough what was going on.

Thanks for the playing and for the feedback!

That's weird - don't know how that happened. It's been a long day!

Yeah that makes total sense. You could even put in a little rebound to push you a little bit away from the edge.

Nice. Love the smooth movement, and the soundtrack is well tasty!

Nice. Love the smooth movement, and the soundtrack is well tasty!

Totally understand the rush - I did mine in three days too! I think you did really well with the visuals, they're basic but they totally work.

The gameplay is cool too, it feels really nice. 

Do you reckon you'd add controller support?

Stunning looking, and some pretty cool mechanics. Nice!

I'd like to see where this goes. Some of the little details are really nice - the jump in particular feels really nice, and the visuals are cool!  

Yeah that's fair, I wasn't really totally happy with the viewport constraints in the end - I tried wrapping the viewport so that you warp, Asteroids style, but that didn't feel right either.

Also yeah you're right the UI elements could probably do with being a bit clearer.

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

I made it! 10 minutes, 21 tries and 1 crystal.

Cool game. I really like the idea of a platformer with really restricted, almost frustratingly so, controls - kind of made it feel like a puzzle having to decide exactly where to jump from.

Nice one!

(I did encounter a slight glitch. I dropped down to a previous level but the camera didn't follow. I jumped around randomly for a bit and it eventually it snapped back when I made it back to the previous level before. Sorry I don't know exactly where it was.)

Yeah balancing the difficulty was quite hard. The collision area is actually about twice as big as the sprite but yeah it's still not easy!

Thanks for playing, and for the feedback, appreciate it!

Loved the mechanics, looks really cool too - those people are so hard to avoid!

I recommend switching the rotation when reversing so it behaves like you would expect a real vehicle to when turning whilst reversing.

I'm so impressed, great idea!

I would prefer if there was an option to not zoom in on every move, I found it quite disorientating!

Hi Lam,

Thanks very much for the feedback. I'll definitely take it on board as learning as I develop the game further. I found the part about the portal disabling particularly interesting - this was something that I had considered a key part of the design, but getting another person's more objective point of view will make me reconsider!

I really appreciate you taking the time to get back to me, it means a lot, especially at this stage of my journey. I look forward to the next jam!

Cheers!

Well done to the winners. I'm had a lot of fun playing some of the submissions.

I'm very disappointed that my game was removed. I've since discovered my error in exporting the game, and have since uploaded a new version - one of the unexpected learning experiences of uploading your first game I suppose.

Obviously it's too late for the jam, but, if you'd still like to give my game a go, I would still very much appreciate some feedback.

Thanks

Nice one, I like it. Well done for releasing your first game! This jam was also the motivation for making my first game. It's nice to see someone else using Godot too!

Congratulations on your first game, this jam was also my first! Very good effort - have fun on the rest of your game dev journey!

Great game, so beautifully simple and I love the style. Very impressive in such a short time.
