Nice game!
Game idea is nice, but I don't like how the jump is implemented (multiple jumps "in the air"). Anyway, nice game :)
Great game, I like the 3D-2D style and crazy boxey characters!
Perhaps it's not the most original game ever, but considering the time it is impressive you have been able to do it.
As you said, the controls are broken - floating through the air is somehow fun anyway. Interesting camera angle.
And potatoes!
Looks neat! Wish my platform (mac or linux) was supported!
Nice game, it seems to have some problems with jumps sometimes. Good job anyway :)
Really love that perspective, it's really cool.
Controls are a bit buggy, but it's ok.
The gameplay is really conventional but it works.
Nice done.
@netguy204 it might work on linux/mac, we didnt try it ourselves due to lack of linux/mac computer.
good game, but really buggy. + for minimala jones
Character stopped moving a couple of times, even though I was still holding the button. I liked the victory music. Game seemed to freeze when I tried to start the second level after finishing the first.
The collision detection is completely buggy and is annoying to restart the game over and over.
But, man, this game is hilarious, really fun.
And i love the graphics.
To get this working on linux/mac, you will have to rename
content/sfx/Jump.wav (upper-case J)
into
content/sfx/jump.wav (lower-case j)
Maybe it's just my computer, but I actually really like how wonky and jittery this game is :)
As the testers before me said, it's pretty buggy - sometimes I got stuck in the ground, pressing jump repeatedly allows you to fly, lots of crashes, etc.
I loved that every level had its own art style, the music fits the game really well and the characters are gorgeous. With a little bit of polish on the collision detection, it'll be a nice little platformer and it's impressive that you pulled it off in such short time!
Also: What is that blue thing bouncing around on my level select screen after I've collected all puzzle pieces?
I like the camera view, it adds a kind of adventure dynamic to the game without complicating the game play.
Semi:
Thanks for taking the time to test it AND fixing it for linux.
Regarding collisions and movement, we struggled with it and could not overcome the challanges in time. the 3D and 2D mix was also a new thing and had alot fun experimenting there.
The blue thing is an easter egg, a minimal piece of art.

Missing wasd support for azerty keyboard : zqsd (or arrow)

Support for arrowkeys and a renamed jump.wav is now in the release. Hopefully this means it will work on linux/mac without any issues. :)
Nice job, love the art style and music. Also, it's cool how the level select screen is a jigsaw puzzle. I was able to play through all levels (when relaunching in between), but it crashed after level one. I saved the log file if you want it. Btw, I can imagine being a team of 6 people was quite a challenge:)
Neat perspective and visuals - the controls and movement were very wonky, but not enough to break the game.
Pretty good, liked the camera angle but the controls made it really hard to play. Still a very good game though
I really like the perspective/angle thing you did with this, seems like it would be good for creating suspense. If you expanded it a bit this game could be really cool!
Loved it! The characters were great looking and the levels were fun!
I had fun playing it. You should polish it up.
