Thank you so much for your support!! We're working to make sure the final game lives up to your expectations :D

Thanks so much!! If you haven't gotten the chance, you should check out our 2hr long prologue on Steam! Slime 64: Slimes of the World

Thanks for your feedback! I completely agree re: collectibles, and would absolutely love to polish this up more into a "complete" release!

And honestly, completely agree with regards to ranking in relation to other jam entries. I'm totally flattered that folks rated it so highly, but when I joined the jam (a week before the deadline lol), I didn't realize it had prizes - I'd probably have just submitted to the demo disk if I had realized. For transparency the stuff I did for this jam specifically was to make the game 4:3 and extra crunchy, all of the level design, and tweaks to existing powers (the double jump, dash, and rock forms are all from the full game this is a spinoff from). On the one hand, impressive turnaround for a week, but on the other, still not really a fair comparison to folks building stuff from scratch for the jam.

To deal with this I'm reaching out to the event coordinator to ask if I can decline a prize, so that the lovely entries placed #3 and #4 can receive prizes instead.

Due to the lighting I really couldn't see where I was going - after a few too many deaths to falling down a pit I couldn't see, I had to drop it :c

the vibes are absolutely on point though!

This was adorable.

No matter what I try, DuckStation is forcing my controller to run in Digital Mode, rendering the game unplayable. If I try to force Analog Mode in the Controller settings, it tells me the Game Settings disallow that, and that the controller will boot into digital mode.

What I can see looks neat though!

Hi Tara! Thank you for reaching out! You're actually the second German player who has reached out about this. What was strange was that Steam was telling me I had already filled out everything I needed, but upon re-submitting all the necessary forms, it seems to have stuck! Could you do me a favor and check again?

Thanks so much, and happy new year!

I appreciate it!! I'm hoping to at least have *something* to submit before the deadline, but we'll see how it goes with the holiday and all haha

Gonna try and whip something up by forking my longterm project to make a small project that is fun! We'll see if I can make something fun in less than a week!

Really impressive and longer-than-expected prototype! I'm a fellow 3D platformer developer and so I've got a lot of feedback for you, but broadly just know this is really impressive and I had a lot of fun!

In no particular order...

- I never felt that the roll was necessary in any circumstance - it just felt like a more restrictive version of the attack dash, and it never felt like it'd be better to have iframes than to just put out a hitbox.

- The slide dash on RT killed me more often than it helped me

- The camera, unfortunately, is pretty rough. This is a combination of the actual way the camera is configured, combined with the level design. The level design expects you to go through a tiny hole that the camera cannot fit through, right onto a precarious ledge. What happens is that the camera aggressively pans forward, magnifying even the tiniest horizontal discrepancy, and ultimately makes me walk off the ledge if I'm not *extremely* careful. Additionally, many small or thin objects have camera collision when it'd be better to simply let the camera phase through them. Cameras are a super tough problem for this sort of game, so best of luck!

- It was so easy to break out of bounds with the character's movement that it was sometimes hard to understand the intended path. I had to pretend I was playing as a character with far more limited movement to be able to stay in the normal play area, or I'd end up out of bounds or criss-crossing different areas without even intending to. While degrees of freedom while moving are good, I think the world just needs to be better scaled to the movement of the protagonist, with a better distinction between play-area and boundary.

- I had no idea what to do after the boss fight. The environment had changed so drastically I found myself all turned around and didn't understand if I had hit the end of the demo, or had simply gotten stuck.

There's a lot to like here - wishing you all the best in the future!

Heya! Yeah, you're absolutely right. this was a 48hr game jam project where around 9 hours before the deadline we didn't...have combat, so it definitely didn't reach our target experience 😅

while the odds of us updating this are extremely low as everyone involved is hard at work on other projects, we really do appreciate the candid feedback

Oh huh, as a now-owner of a Steam deck who hasn't touched this project in a longgg time I'll have to see.

Any chance you've tried running the Windows version through Proton?

I'm afraid I'm not sure, as I don't own a Mac. This game is also available for Mac through Steam - maybe give us a shot over there? Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to play and for your kind words!!

I really enjoyed this. I could see this being a simple mobile game or evolving into utter bullet-hell chaos. Fantastic work!

I love the concept! I found figuring out what to do a bit tough and had some difficulties reading the text of the cards, but the designs and flavor text on those cards was hysterical.

Hey - unfortunately with Unity games you need to zip up the entire folder that the .exe file is in (including the Gravity Jump_Data folder and UnityPlayer.dll plus whatever else) otherwise the game can't be played on others' computers. :(

This was an excellent entry!!! Had a lot of fun - super creative take on the theme and just a creative game in general. Fantastic work!

I enjoyed the minigames and found the visual style to be very cohesive!! I was a little stumped on objective though. Nice work!

I feel like introducing the second photographer later on would have helped ease us into the experience, in addition to reducing the number of spooky objects at once. All in all the gameplay felt a bit confusing but the visual presentation is top notch. I especially love the picture being taken and shown to you at the end.

I'm...at a loss for words.

(definitely turn your volume down)

Laughing the entire time. Truly unbelievable. I will never be the same again.

Before I read the help screen and learned you could extend cars by holding, I couldn't land a hit on these dang frogs. I'm blown away at how smart they are. Great work!

I love this concept. It's a bit hard to read at a glance but that is part of the challenge. I'd love to see what other mechanics from Fruit Ninja could be brought in!

I love this concept!! Would love to see more levels with different shapes, maybe a time limit (or bonus for finishing quickly)!

This is one of those jam games that just utterly blows you away. It feels like the v1.0 version of an indie game I'd buy on Steam for $10. Masterful.

I love this!!! Agreed with the other comment - but the best thing a jam game can do is leave me wanting more :D

What a cool concept for a puzzle game!! I'd love to see this as a mobile title with more content :D

This was awesome!! The vibes were immaculate and the entire experience was very smooth. A few of the puzzles saw me squeaking through with what felt like frames to spare, which was tense and exciting. Fantastic work!

some notes:
- I get that this is supposed to be a rage platformer with hard controls, but the way in which the horse would gain like, rotational momentum never clicked with me. I thought it was hard enough to control even without suddenly going into a tailspin for what feels like making a minor adjustment while in midair.
- PLEASE include an option to invert camera X and Y input. They're backwards from what I'm used to and it lead to me not touching the camera the entire game, which was a handicap.
- The fact that you get stuck under the bouncepads if you don't jump ahead of time, and then if you do jump you get borderline softlocked bouncing straight up and down with no lateral velocity, made me sad

very cute concept, unfortunately due to it being a rage game I made it to level 7 and got fatigued lol

We worked on a pretty big update that's now live! We've uploaded a web build, the Windows build, and also got approved and are live on Google Play!

Echoing others who never saw a six, but I liked this take on mitigating RNG through on-the-fly decision-making! Awesome stuff :D

This was awesome!!! The risk/reward of getting additional chips made this a really interesting concept. This combat in an entire RPG?? Tons of room to explore ideas here. Fantastic work.

I'm not sure it was possible to roll a 5 or a 6, and the difficulty scaling was super crazy, but I really liked the visual style of the game! All of the characters were super charming and I was very impressed with this entry. Great work!
