Suggestions for speedrunning: 

1 you could add a timer, possibly with splits, to the game.

2 you could reset the game with r or a similar key.

3 You might be allowed to change the layout for controls to suit you, and your gamer strats

4. you can't completely mute the volume of the game, it can't be set to zero

5. at some points it is unclear for the player where he is supposed to proceed. has caused me some major falls ;c

, also I am stuck at this part because of

btw, you can disable your abilities?? I did not know that until now, don't know how that is useful though

I have been experimenting thoroughly with the game, one to search for speedrunner strats, and two, to find bugs which should be removed.

If you have questions with my descriptions of the bugs, or how to recreate them, then please do ask me, I'll try my best to explain with more images, or with clips, or even call on discord!

1 bug that i found while experimenting with disabling and enabling the buggy gloves you have, is that if you set your glove power to disable, and then hold on to a cliff with left shift, you are able to enable the buggy gloves again and and gain the ability again and be able to slide up. I think that once you are on a cliff with the buggy gloves disabled, you should not be able to enable it again with a big boost

it's not like it gives a game-breaking speedrunner advantage, as it's really doesn't give that big of a boost, but it's a bug nonetheless.

bug 2.  when you press enter to teleport to the next block, you have to do it twice instead of once, (see image where you could recreate the situation)

explanation for bug: pressing enter also toggles the ability on or off, so when you press enter once, the player teleports and the ability gets disabled after that, the next time you press enter, the ability is disabled, so you do not get teleported, but the ability is turned on again. and then repeat

this bug is not recreatable with the mouse button, however, because clicking the left mouse button does NOT toggle the abilities

Thanks for all the testing! Toggling abilities was an idea from really early in the jam which I remove in the next version of the game. Should resolve some of those bugs you called out.

Speedrun timer is already implemented in the next version. It'll show your your current time and best record.

 I have a fix for the weird volume sliders. 

I don't see a need for "reset" with R key at this point.

I also have a save system implemented that quick saves after dialogue and when you pause the game. There's three save slots too so you could do multiple runs of the game. 

I'm also including slightly better indicators for those blind jumps and revamped physics that are less "slippery"

Thanks again and I think you'll like the next version :)

ah, that's great, I'll play it now :) I didn't play it earlier because I was busy with assignements, I still am but I want to play lol

New update online. Still very much a work-in-progress but it at least has a timer

(1 edit)

the update is really cool! love the graphics and all the changes

hmm, I've found a bug

(1 edit)

the bug is that when you play the game, say in the first slot, collect the gloves, return to main menu and delete the save, if you start a new game in the same slot, the gloves do not reappear, infact you are stuck without gloves forever in that slot. Edit: I checked it out, and there are no gloves even in the other slots!

Developer

The save system was a little rushed, honestly. I'm not surprised there's some bugs with it. I'll look into fixing the issue if another person reports it

oh god, there are some really brutal jumps in there, wow, I'm impressed with the time you got

(1 edit)

but do not be fooled! I will beat you, surely... sometime

it's night time for me now, will try tomorrow

for now I haven't even beaten the game yet lol

one sort of problem I have got, there is this certain part where the lag is insane! I'll try to screenshot it the next time. this time, after I crossed this part, I jumped and then ended up falling all the way back.  but I really wasn't frustrated on the game, but rather on myself! That is awesome, because before with the slippery physics, I got frustrated on the game more, but here it's just my fault.

Developer

I've only tested the game on my best computer, so there could be some performance issues on other machines. Thanks for the report
