You did a great job on this game, the hitboxes feel a little unfair on the right half of the boxes and sliding doesn't seem to add anything, but everything else was great!

Thanks I was pretty stuck on how to expand on that mechanic (pun very much intended), but that idea came to me by just randomly placing tiles

THIS IS THE SINGLE BEST VIDEO GAME I HAVE PLAYED IN 50 YEARS, MY NAME IS TODD HOWARD AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE, THIS GAME IS BETTER THEN ALL OF THE NEW AAA GAMES AND HOLOW NIGHT IS SO BAD IN COMPARISON BECAUSE THIS GAME IS JUST SO GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You did an amazing job on this game, if it ran on browser it would probably do even better I hope you get a good score on the jam!

Thanks, my main project is a turn=based platformer. after my break I'll get back into prototyping it

Pretty much the only issue I had was the acceleration feeling like I'm on some kind of super ice zone all the time. other than that it was great.

This game is extremely well made for a game jam, you did a great job! The things that bugged me about the game after playing it were how hard it was to find elements (until I realized they were in alphabetical order lol), and how long the game was. I'm glad to have watched some of the streams

I finished the game and here are my thoughts

Pros:

Game audio was great

Game art + animation was superb (amazing use of squash and stretch)

Overall presentation was awesome

Cons:

The game mechanics felt a little bit poorly implemented, the bomb jump specifically felt really variable since if you jump the same frame the bomb spawns you get way more height then I feel is intended (this could be fixed by giving a consistent velocity rather than a velocity based on position or however it currently works)

The level design felt very unfair at times and I found myself just running through parts as fast as I can without any thought after multiple attempts of trying (this sadly isn't an easy fix and its something you learn with time)


The character feels very slippery, in Celeste you have about 2 frames of accel/decel, but here it feels more like 15-20 frames


In conclusion, your team did a great job and I hope to see more games from you in the future.

I figured it out, its because the audio player is attached to the player but the listener is the camera, so it teleports on death

I use that tech to speedrun all the time lol

there's 10 jams in total

(1 edit)

a lot of people are getting stuck on the 3rd room since they think you aim with mouse, I'll probably add some text on the main menu since I don't have too much time (because I'm a bit busy these last 2 days) before the jam ends

Yeah, about a sixth of people are getting stuck on room three because of this, I might need to put some text on the start screen or something saying (you aim with wasd)

yeah, I'm not too sure why

You should add microtransactions

I feel like Jump buffering, checkpoints, and coyote time would improve this game a lot

I had the same idea, cool

This game was so slappin, I cried so much on the part with the dog dying and I couldn't believe you would kill all of those innocent people so violently.

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing my game, I noticed after I submitted the game that the final jump was way more difficult than it needed to be

Thanks for playing my game! Celeste is my favorite platformer and if I ever turned this into a full game I would spend months on a refined momentum system

Did you like the "credits"?

Thanks for the feedback

This reminds me of space invaders, and I feel like its a little bit of a stretch to say its a "shooting mode"

Its a super fun game, although I don't see how it fits with the theme whatsoever.

thanks, I did all the music and art

This game is in a playtesting phase, please give constructive criticism such as x level is too difficult compared to the rest of the game. (no "I don't like 2d platformers so this game sucks" kind of feedback) 

Is there a way to get 2 different auto-tiled tilesets to connect with each other?

like having a snowy tile connect to a grass tile and getting them to connect like this

I think as long as it follows the template it should scale

I cannot pay for the pack with my card for whatever reason (US currency), this pack looks very useful and I was disappointed to find out I cannot buy it as of now.

he is one of our friends lol

Very funny...

Thank you, the attack animations were super hard to get to look enthusiastic

well the theme connection is in the story, your character is trying to get a new beginning by basically infiltraiting heaven
