Pretty cool stuff. I like the designs of your character, and the idea of starting with ten seconds and needing to replenish it with game items. It seems like after losing the first level, and restarting the game objects were gone when I tried again.
Pretty cool, I like the character design. I hit the same bug as asc3nsion where after a run or two the items would stop appearing. Also it was unclear to me what the items were doing... "+2:00" makes sense, it adds 2 seconds to the clock but I couldn't tell if "+2" also adds two seconds or if it does something else.
I had to reload my browser tab to restart the game due to non respawened game items.
I love how you have to do the correct jumps to balance red vs. white powerups. Gets a bit repetitive after a while though :( Really like the graphics!
The +2, when you get a red buff is a bonus for fury. But Fury isn't implemented yet...
***FIXED : the bug concerning the game objects spawning.
Aside from the replay bug, this is pretty good. Really good, responsive platformer controls, I like that its restricted to forward or straight up and down movement. The art is beautiful.
Beaaautiful art, and a perfect fit for the theme. Great job!
so pretty!
Great graphics, I love the character. The terrain is okay, some sort of simple lighting for the surface-level tiles would have made it really stand out. Overall, really good!
The graphics are great. Music is nice and sounds. I love the heroine!
I like the idea that you cannot go back but I do not know why? I kinda did not understand the fiction. If there was just a title screen explaining a bit about the game. To set you in the mood of the world.
Great nifty game! I bet it can be turned into a full fledged one. Did you make the music?
Pretty cool. I like the graphics style, and music is not annoying, which is certainly a plus. Seems pretty easy, got past the whole thing (up to TO BE CONTINUED...) in the first run.
One thing - the graphics lag pretty badly on my Linux + firefox. Flash is constantly around 50% cpu load, so no idea what's that about.
Good one either way :]
Pretty cool ! And your art.. <3
I really like the douple-jump effect, the mood/setting and the use of music and effects.
Oh, and your graphics are great, btw! :-)
Freaking lovely :) Especially the character art.
Very fun, only those "fury bonuses" were confusing, would be better to not have them at all if the mechanic is non existent yet.
Nice work. I'd like to see the red dots being positioned so they're always possible to avoid. Also I think it would be nice if the 'left edge' chased you at a rate based on your time remaining. Good game, well done
***FIXED : red buffs has been deleted because they concern another power-up and not a time malus. Some improvements have been made in order to play with good average fps.
Nice work on the graphics and the audio, created a really cool mood!
Nice graphics!
The web version is very laggy. I keep falling into the pit before I know I'm there. Great art style though.
Awesome graphics! Decent gameplay. And great use of theme!
The web version lags at times though.
Pretty graphics, adorable main heroine, and control is responsive. My concern is that you cannot go backwards, but it's on the design i guess. Nice one!
Awesome graphics and audio, also very nice responsive controls. I really like the fact that I can't go back :D
***************************
FIXED : A BIG IMPROVEMENT ON FPS RATE HAVE BEEN MADE. ENJOY A FLUID RUN !
***************************
Aw man, dat animation. So damn cute!
Really slick. :)
Nice graphics! I also like how the gameplay feels agile and smooth.
This is lovely! I love the character, sheis great. The jump-noises make it feel much more awesome.
Nice work on the environment and gemplay too :)
Liked the game. Only downsides were that it was a bit laggy (played the web version) and more importantly that i had to stop and wait for the screen to follow the character, otherwise i was able to run out from the right side of screen and fall into pits I did not see yet.
Otherwise very cool game!
Awesome art, solid mechanics!
Good idea and implementation. I had a hard time with the pace. I wanted to be able to back up because I either went the wrong way or went too fast and couldn't see what was coming.
Nice game. Good graphism (the character is cute).
Game play is fun...
Just one question: why no backward?
I love this female character, it looks so cute and energic!
The gameplay is a little bit too hard though, but overall you done a nice job. I really want to see the complete game. GO GO GO~ :)
Really nice artwork
very cool character, not sure about how the 10 second theme is integrated here because it starts with more than 10 seconds and you can keep adding time. The graphics are awesome though.
Gorgeous but terribly challenging!
Smooth graphics and well polished movement!
Great job! Great graphics :)
Well done guys!
I love the graphics, but the game is really hard. Didn't get past the first level (maybe I'm just bad?). It would be great if you could run to the left as well. :)
I really liked the graphics, but unlike others i would have preferred to have the option to walk backwards. If you wanted us to only walk forwards, you could have made it a canabalt-style infinite runner, going forward automatically.
Very fun to play and great art style! The music suits the environment well and the jumping feels good. Some of the platforms sorta feel randomly placed and some of the short step blocks are hard to navigate if you rub against them while jumping. Great job! :D
Really like the design of the player character
That character design is so good. Simple, but full of, y'know, character ;)
Good idea for the time limit concept. Reminds me of run lola run, hehe.
Nice music, great grafix, nice!
The design is nice :)
Great Art style ... with some fps problem .. :(
great game -- i only wish there was more -- great artwork
Great little game. Love the graphic style !
I would literally sit and play this for hours, mario could not go back - here we even cannot go left. Great idea and execution guys.
Nice game, I like the art, but the gameplay is too simple for me. Why have you bloc the scrolling screen, it's a bit frustrating.
(Is it normal the dooble jump character sprite disappear)
Graphics were really nice. Controls solid. Just it ran slow for me and became incredibly easy. I constantly had about 10-15 seconds of time Music was good too.
Your character and environment design is beautiful! (And checking your second image, I like all of those too.)
The music sounds good, but doesn't carry enough sense of urgency. That's how the game feels to me too at the moment: I run, but I don't feel like I'm in a hurry.
Not being able to go backwards feels forced right now. Having missed a time power up that just barely, but not being able to go back these five pixels is frustrating and I'm thinking: The girl got legs and can work foward perfectly fine, why can't she walk back? I hope you understand what I mean.
You've got something fun here, but it's still missing something to make it special and URGENT and RUN FASTER I WANT TO LIVE! I don't know exactly what that is, but I have a few suggestions you could try:
- Auto-running like in Canabalt. That would explain the no-backwards-thing too.
- Every block you touch dissolves.
- Something is chasing you - that feels a bit more urgent than just a camera scrolling. That's a good thing to think about in general: WHY is the heroine running? How can I communicate this to the player ingame?
(I hope it doesn't come across as if I didn't like the game - I did! I only wrote so much because you asked for feedback :) )
Really nice and polished, rated highly. :)
Good execution. Like how the game play stand.
I think it become a little too easy. Need more speed, and work the experience of never stop. I think you can accelerate the pass o the game.
But nicely done.
Nice designs and game play is fun.
Cool game but i think it needs scoreboard. Awesome graphics and design.
Wow, amazing art! I really like it! The graphic mood feels great. I'm really lame at platformers so I don't manage to go very far XD
Pity the mood was a bit ruined by the jump sound though, I thought it really clash with the designs.
(oh right, that's another member of the GSM team ^^ sorry)
Great art and music. Good job!
great design! i also like your take on linearity and the theme; to not be able to go back in time, i.e. left, made me more aware of my jumping. good controls, but the game could do with a little more variation, and i guess that's where the power-ups come in.
your character design is really good, so is the background, but maybe the level design could become a little more organic.
Really nice art style. Game could be expanded well. :)
I liked it, a bit slow maybe at first, but graphics are done with style..
Simple, addictive and fun.
Love the art!
hello fellow Stencylers!
I really liked the art, the character and setting was very well done. The music was nice and moody. Liked how you always need to go right, the game just needs bit more obstacles and items and what else to make it interesting. Otherwise it was very well done.
Really loved the art in this though it unfortunately ran at quite a low frame rate for me (I was using the web version). The music was lovely and really fitting, too.
Great entry! It perfectly fits the theme, graphics are nice and music catchy. It would only remain some sort of points or distance achieved (something to keep me playing to beat my own score, lol). Brilliant!
I love the character design, really good! I would love to see an extension of this game. Maybe some more risk vs. reward in game mechanics would make this game highly replayable. Overall, great game!
cool audio and graphics... gameplay is fine... a little to slow in sidescrolling... super idea no to let the player step back... you have to hit the waypoints or you have to run to another... like it!
Really interesting game. At first I didn't like the "never go back" mechanic, but it really makes sense in your game. Oh, great controls, really tight.
Nice runner, I especially liked the graphics and the mood of the game.
fantastic mood and art!
Very nice graphics style!
The framerate for me was very low, probably because the images are too high-resolution. I'm not sure about other people.
Great job!
Excellent design/art and sounds.
Loved having female characters
was quite hard though, i felt like I didn't have enough time and never made it very far, despite collecting everything along the way?
This was fun : ) I liked the character but didn't like that the camera didn't catch up with you if you ran really fast (you end up way off screen haha) and that you couldn't go backwards(I know you didn't want us too heh) to get some stuff you missed : (. Nice though!
VERY very cute graphics, a bit on the easy side, but fun!
Bonus points for having a female protagonist!
sexy, good movement.
Beautiful! love the overall mood, graphics and animations, pretty smooth.
Really nice art style and animation turned a simple runner into something special.
I really like the character designs. Looks really cool. Great game
Terrain was unforgiving at times, especially with being unable to move left... aside from that... sounds fit, graphics were pretty awesome, and game played smooth, so good job!
Nice graphics/audio assets, I didn't saw crazy generation or anything weird, keep up the good work !
the design is amazing - great visuals and audio
the gameplay is straight forward but certainly not boring - great game
loved it
Nice visuals and audio create a really lovely mood. I like the thoughtful nature of the platforming too. Could have done with a bit more variety but very enjoyable nonetheless.
I like that you can't move left, it definitely adds interest!
In the level design, I feel like the buffs were all arranged along the lower path, so there was never any reason to jump up to the higher path (especially given that the higher path seemed more difficult and more likely to trap me). Perhaps more or better things could spawn up there?
Polished, good feel, great game. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Good job.
The character is great and the controls are very precise. I kind of wished the screen to move with me. I sometimes hat to wait on it. That breaks the flow.
Nice game! great art and sounds. gameplay was fun. Only critique was that the scrolling was pretty jerky.
Graphics are nice and i found the controlls to be very responsive and polished. However its very short, and lacks a few more mechanics. Hope you develop more content for this game soon !
Sound good! Girl is pretty cute! Nice game at all!
I like the beat and stylized graphics
the way the timing worked, you only get a few seconds for each star kept the game fast pace.
pretty fun jam entry
Nice but i think that allowing player to go backward will be better (well this is just my thought ^^) because you already have the camera scrolling and if you want player to wait and think, for me, this must be the player choice. Also if you add the camera to go up and down (following the player), it will allow the player to have more choices for the path.
Lovely graphics. :) Gameplay was a bit on the dull side but a solid runner nevertheless. Good job :)
This graphics are modern and cool. I like the idea of double jump because it makes the game comfortable.
Nice character design, good game. It was a bit disturbing at first that I could run faster than the scrolling.
The art style is great, and while the music is great, it depends what mood you want to set. I can see it has been pointed out but really the no going back is fine but does need explaining. Fear of seeing what is coming? Needs backstory. I didn't see any power ups (playing web version.) Floor dirt kick up, the trees, all looks great.
The art is so beautiful! Great job!
I really like the art and the animation, and I sort of see what you're going for with the no-going-back, but really, not being able to go back feels arbitrary, and makes it less fun for me.
Very nice! o/
Great graphics but i think the ability to go backwards combined with an increased camera movement speed would improve the game play greatly.
RESPONSE TO MANY COMMENTS :
* No going back : for now, we want you to not go backward, it's wanted and it makes the game more fun to play because at least, you have to wait&think before running and jumping wherever on the scene.
** THIS jam is just a "pre-game". We'll go on a full-content game as soon as possible with a lot of new features (good ranked or not in this LD), power-ups and a barely better gameplay.
*** Finally, it'll be available on PC, iOS & Android.
This jam is kind of a "test" for us, seeing if a lot of people are interested in playing this kind of game with our 'art'.
Nicely done procedurally generated content!
The art is great, what you need to improve is the gameplay. The camera movement felt a little weird, the character runs faster, so sometimes I needed to wait for the camera in order to continue. Also, if you move during the countdown in the beginning and reach the limits of the camera, you lost.
Still, is a good idea. Keep working on it!
Visually pretty but I found myself waiting for the screen to catch up so I could run further
Redo > if you move during the countdown, out of camera, you fall into a pit, so game over is logical. (-_-' )
Remember for everyone who asked > if the character runs faster than the camera, that's normal. How do you do if you're close to the death on the left, and you can't catch up the lost time forward ?? Please, think harder before writing, otherwise, thanks.
Nice graphics.
The character is wonderful. Art and animations are clean and pretty. I think not going backwards is good for this game, like you said it makes you think more about your actions.
Nice art style!
nice variation on the autorunner genre.
the overall style is great!
I really like the character design. :)
I like the "not going back" decision. I tried the web version and it was a bit monotone and in slow motion, but maybe because of my slow computer?
The music and sound are really good here. I like the character design, and for some reason the ghosting effect on the character when she double-jumps is intriguing to me. I really like that touch and if you continue on with this game, I hope that plays a role somehow.
Pretty cool graphics! Game could use some more obstacles and powerups to spice it up! :)
Pretty cool though music is a bit annoying, and the collision system isn't pretty good it's like she stops in a pretty noticeable distance that's annoying. (like she hit the platform from the side)
Nice art, but the scrolling is waaay too slow. I had to wait at the end of the screen every 2 seconds to go further. Interesting idea, good job!
loved it overall, would like to move backwards, would like the jumping to be a little better, but it was simple gameplay and good music / art :)
Nice job guys. I like the art style you went with and the background music really fits well. I think the mechanic of not being able to go backwards works well, it makes you slow down a bit and think through your actions. I like it!
"This jam is kind of a 'test' for us, seeing if a lot of people are interested in playing this kind of game with our 'art'."
I'd play it; I dig your art.
-thatwhichis, team RoyBatty
Good graphics!
Bit laggy, but I love the art style.
Amazing visuals and art style! Loved the mood of the game. Gameplay is solid but nothing new, but well executed, and the player controls feel good.
Great game. I quite liked the no going back idea, and the slow moving camera.
Simply LOVED the graphics and the animation! The music is very good too. The gameplay was a little boring, it would be better if it was faster and harder, and a checkpoint would be nice too. After a little while I just got tired. Besides that, the theme wasn't well elaborated, but overall, great entry!
I really liked the idea of only running forward and never go backwards, gameplay is very simple but well executed. Nice!
Great graphics and sound! The game plays well but is a bit limited. Why do the trees in the background move faster than the foreground, rather than slower? Visually it doesn't make sense to me.
So polished! i like it!
I'm definitely glad that you guys are planning on developing this further. I really like what you have so far and really think you can do some cool stuff with it. At first I didn't like not being able to move backwards, but that ended up growing on me - it forces you to be a lot more careful with your movements. Great work.
Wow, incredible art, music, and mood.
Very nice graphics. I like how the character becomes transparent when double jumping (don't know if this is a feature or bug). Slighly laggy on my old macbook air, but fun and challanging.
Neat!
Great visuals, great audio, polished controls, promising overall
Ah, I think I've seen works in progress for the protagonist on Tumblr - the design is hella cute. The game is perhaps a mite too easy - having the time cap at 10 seconds, or making the pickups give variable amounts of time would be a fun way to build on the idea.
Looks and feels gorgeous - gfx and sound are both nice.
Runs fine on Linux/Firefox.
Core mechanic of having to constantly get extra-time buffs works ok but it's hard to tell what the end result will be like when that's the only thing going on. Didn't see a single non-white power-up in the run I played.
That said it's clearly WIP and I look forward to playing the fleshed-out version of the game.
Nice graphics and sound!
I liked the game a lot. The jumping felt a bit unpolished but a really great entry overall.
Very nice graphics overall, and the animation on the girl was impressive. The platforming become a little bland after a minute or two, but the visual style and audio kept me interested. Good luck on the full version!
Great game good job :)
The art style is very nice. Very interesting game.
Very solid entry, I love this graphic ^^
It was a little choppy for me, but great game nonetheless. It took me a while to realize I couldn't go backwards.
Nice! Pretty easy but still fun.
The desing of the main character and the music are the strong points of the game. I don't see the theme match really well with the theme, but it's a good game. Good job!
I don't know if this is just the web version, but the scrolling was very slow when I played it, making the "run" theme a bit weird.
Apart from that, this is gorgeous, with beautiful graphics and music, and fairly original gameplay (the inability to go back, the time bonuses). I'm impressed that you managed to make it in just three days.
Good luck developing it more in the future!
Cool graphics, nice game!
beautiful art!
amazing!
