I wasn't able to jump at first platform, but game looks very promising.

gwenn 2014-08-25 09:45

Oh, yeah, you can double jump, I forgot to mention that, sorry !

It's fun! I love your art style it's like the games that I used to play when I was a child (jeje the little legs of the main player xD) :)

Loved the level design, challenging enough. Cute sprites and theme.

It did take me a while to figure out the doublejump too though haha.

Happy to see a HaxeFlixel game, was curious about the language/library the other day.

Nice game, and always cool to see some shadocks !

Nice simple graphics and a solid puzzle-platformer. A bit short, but I can relate to running out of time. :)
I was also having trouble with the first jump, because the standard jump height looks just high enough to reach the platform. You might want to decrease the jump height slightly to make this clearer.

Hey, great idea! Tiny ingame notes for first double jump and pressing the pump would have been handy. It took me a second look on this site to know the controls. (You have an infinite jump when touching the ceiling btw. - maybe put in an extra true/false to check if the second jump was already executed) I enjoyed the naive art! Especially the kicking of the transdimensional egg =D ... Any artist could now pimp that to make it a solid experience. Congrats!

Character's animations are really funny. Nice level design.

gwenn 2014-08-25 12:09

Thanks you all for you feedback. I take note for the double jump :D
@c023-dev : Yeah, I noticed the infinite jump on the ceiling but as it did not allow to break the puzzles I chose to let it as it is to focus on other things :)

For anyone else getting stuck at the first platform, you can double jump!

Very interesting, I like the art style.

Nice puzzles! It took me a while to figure out even the more simple, but I finally enjoyed them. You should have pointed out the double jump on the game description (you can still edit it).

derosa 2014-08-25 14:56

Oh, I see the double jump on the instructions, sorry :)
Nice game!

I had never heard of Les Shadoks, checking it out it does seem like a treasure trove of design inspiration! Cool puzzles!

Really enjoyed playing this game. It was fun and I liked the concept ^^

onlyslightly 2014-08-26 04:37

I really liked the aesthetic style. There were some great subtle animations you threw in there too that made it feel really polished. It felt like a Roald Dahl children's book. Great job!

i played the html5 version, but after kicking the ball the game got slower and slower?

nikki93 2014-08-26 23:12

Fun game! Not a very original idea, but still fun to play because I love platformers. Nice art and sounds too! Some funny music would be nice.

stvr 2014-08-27 12:52

Ball touches pig and all reality grinds to a halt!

gwenn 2014-08-27 19:43

Thank you all for the feedback !

@01010111 : really a great piece of cartoon satire picturing french people as stupid birds

@pythong : Hmm, that is not supposed to happen. Is your computer particularly not powerful ?

@stvr: That happens on the flash version, but not the html5. What version did you play ?

jacic 2014-08-28 01:54

Interesting idea, and pretty fun. Some decent puzzles. :)

zatyka 2014-08-29 01:32

I think it could definitely use some polish though; things just felt rough around the edges. I laughed at the animations, and enjoyed playing.

J'ai vu ton poste sur IndieMag . Marrant ton jeux. Bon boulot!

traumendes_madchen 2014-09-02 14:55

Aww, I like the Shadoks but the controls are difficult to handle. Otherwise, nice game !
(I saw your post on IndieMag too)

jukimv1986 2014-09-05 03:24

Cute game! I like the mechanics you used. Good job!

torvik88 2014-09-11 18:42

Lovely game. I enjoyed the puzzles very much.
