The storyboard was one of the biggest challenges, had no idea how to do it. In the end it came out nice, but unfortunately couldn’t get it to work properly. (The game still runs in the background)
Rated!! I usually don't download games from itch, but made an exception because yours looked amazing in the screenshots. It was really cool, graphics were amazing and loved the main menu!!!
Game feels nice, its a shame there arent more mechanichs or other types of enemies. After a few levels it get repetitive. Mambe some level design would help. In any case its really fun!!
(Edit) The poison mechanic could be utilized much more!
I really think it turned quite good. Maybe the ratings aren’t as good as I spect because of the difficulty. Lots of people hadn’t seen the entire game, which may affect negatively on the ratings. Other than that I really think it’s quite a cute platformer with nice visuals that is indeed a challenge with its unique mechanics.
That is indeed one of the places we were more worried about. You are supposed to time your tail flap with the spring to get both momentums, which turned out to be way more difficult on the web than when we tested it. On later levels we opted for aiming all springs on a slight angle, so that you don’t get stuck.
We’re really glad you liked it, thanks for the feedback!!!
We created 18 levels for our game, making the last one a boss fight. As we locked every level you hadn't beat, and levels are quite challenging, I scared of no one seeing the boss or end screen.
Thats unfortunate! You are supposed to time youre jump just right to get both jump momentum and spring momentum. In later levels we tried to always face springs slighly towards walls, so that you coulnd't get stuck. Anyway if you get stuck you can just go back to main menu to restart the level. Don't worry for your progress, it will be saved, even in between games! Thanks for the feedback!
Really interesting idea. The only issue i have is that enemy's cards show very fast, so you dont have time to process what happened or what youre supposed to do.
Really good idea! Love the art and how the interactable things look like part of the background. Maybe a clearer game loop and some levels will make it more inteersting and fun to play. Anyway nicely done, keep on the good work!!
We should have made clearer that swiming more than onece grants you momentum. We thought if we made the players do it on the firts level the wll figure it out, maybe not the best choice for a game jam in wich you only get a couple minutes of playtime. Anyway, now that you how to do it, maybe give it another shot, there's about an hour of interesting playtime with lots of new mechanichs.
Nice job uploading a game in the short time we all had! Enjoyed your game, although it was completely cheasable. The artifact lets you survive under any condition anywhere, which makes the entire game really easy. Maybe next time try to foccus on gameplay, fun and engagement. It should be somewhat of an effort beat a game. Please take into account I'm just trying to figure all this out myself andmay not be the persn to give any advice. Keep on with the good work!
You are only able to jump when your tail is touching something, so that you can push you away from it. It is indeed true there is a small bug that sometimes(couldn’t figure out why) you can’t jump when on top of a box, but as we didn’t had more time we couldn’t fix it.
You get momentum by swimming twice or more in the same direction. Once you learn how to do that, an entire game with much more mechanics opens to you. Please give it another shot and enjoy!!
