the concept looks pretty gnarly, but I keep getting stuck in the walls...Is that supposed to happen or am I just not that good...

skullsoft 2012-04-23 01:30

I fell into the floor just before the first NPC and was unable to escape...I agree, though, cool concept!

simonchauvin 2012-04-23 10:43

Sorry for the collision bugs, it happens in the corners because I'm only considering one side colliding at a time !

I keep getting stuck in the walls as well. Graphics and mood, however are pretty good!

simonchauvin 2012-04-23 11:55

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. It's rather funny cause I'm a programmer and game designer. I've never thought I could actually produce a game with "good" graphics :)

I dig the minimalist soundtrack. Also kept getting stuck in the rightmost wall, couldn't get too far.
Good work for the first entry.

Yeah I ran head first into a wall and disappeared before the NPC's could! Fun though if you look past the bugs.

I like your idea about how meeting more people can help your character achieve more, but the execution was rather lackluster. I liked the short music track though, very calming.

simonchauvin 2012-04-24 13:07

I totally agree

Fun game, had some bug though, was trapped in a block a vouple of times. First i though when jumping he was sweating ;p Was fun to play :)

Getting stuck in the walls quite often and had to restart.
Character graphics look great!

Is the guy flying by shooting stuff from his shoulders? :)

simonchauvin 2012-04-25 11:43

Than you all for playing and commenting. A friend told me about the sweating thing, I added this at the last minute but I should have not ! :)

It was fun besides that collision bug :) Great concept!

rabbits 2012-04-25 21:20

a lot better than when I first played it...I'm sad that all the npcs evaporated...

I was having the collision issues as well, but assumed the blue was water (hence the 'water jump'?). Overall there isn't much depth, but enjoyable nonetheless. Loved the disappearing NPCS.

The end is quite rough but I liked the sound design! (the game takes a looong time to load!)

gregdevice 2012-05-03 05:06

Interesting idea. I like the background graphics. Couldn't make some of the jumps.

simonchauvin 2012-05-03 08:34

Thanks guys for playing and everything.
@Rémi, how long did it take to load exactly ? I've never noticed that and the assets are really lightweight! (I'm loading it in like 10 seconds)

I do like the sounds and the general concept.

criticism:
- collision detecting is buggy when jumping from great heights (was inside floor)
- textures for humans are ok, but you should use other colors
- the level texture(s) are very simplicistic
- it's way to short
- the idea itself is innovative, your game isn't

Le concept est interessant mais je trouve qu'il manque quelque chose à découvrir lors de l'apparition progressive du monde.
