Playing this game feels like being in hell. Which is appropriate, I guess! I like the retro single-screen look and you did very well at getting that masocore extra-frustration gameplay. I feel like a bit more forgiveness on jumping up through 1-tile-wide gaps would have been nice. Cute look into a sisyphean quest.
I found the game very hard to control, the character was sliding very easy and it felt at times that the jump didn't triggered correctly.
Lonely Mac.
It's a really fun platformer. The sound effects were a bit too loud, though that doesn't distract me from playing. Great game!
Nice little platformer. It got a bit frustrating to slide off the corners of blocks. I like the punch animation!
Interesting concept. Basic platformer which required you to get to the top of the level. Not sure if it REALLY counts as entire game on one screen as each level changed screens. But either way. The controls were tight. Really tight. Like, almost so tight it was bad. The jump has one velocity. Jumping diagonally also launches you about 40 miles in the direction you jumped. That proved to be pretty difficult when trying to achieve precise jumps. In the end the game isn't bad by any means. Pretty fun but I think it kind of dragged on after playing through roughly 4 stages, especially when a jump I was sure I was going to make resulted in me falling all the way down to the bottom of the screen. The ability to destroy blue blocks was kind of unnecessary in my opinion as they should act as barriers to getting up, but there are multiple ways to get up. The background was a bit obnoxious. Would have been nice if it changed as you scale each level.
In the end: well done in 72 hours.
Xbox controller support was a nice touch. It wasn't obvious to me that I had to go into options to enable it, but I found the game quite a bit easier to control with the gamepad instead of a keyboard.
Nice sound & graphical style!
This is a fun game, but the player graphic doesn't really match up with the rest of the graphics.
It's cool looking, and I like this kind of tight platformer. However, the player control was a little stiff. A little more work on the movement/jumping could do a lot here, but it's really cool for a jam entry. Good music too.
It was too hard to control, in my opinion. The blocks were too small for that kind of controller scheme. atleast when the groundChecks aren't in perfect working conditions. The acceleration on the movement also made it almost impossible to ascend the level, I'm sorry to say. Good job nonetheless. Not easy creating a game in such a small timespan! :)
Nice concept. Some tweaks to the game play and it will be great.
Good game. Jumping controls were a bit frustrating (he really is a bit clumsy) and the concept as a whole too, which played nicely into the hell theme.
If you loosened up the controls a bit, that would be a good improvement (I agree with others on that one). I think it's great you managed to pull this off in just a weekend. Nice entry dude! :)
Fun and interesting. Controls are a bit wonky, and I'm not sure what the "action" key actually does.
The controls on this are pretty problematic. It seems like the character accelerates too quickly for how much space you have to work with, and the bug with moving while jumping makes being accurate all that much harder. It's interesting, but the random generation can make some levels impossible, especially after world 5 when you can't really make any mistakes. The music is good, though it does get repetitive after a while, and the graphics get the job done despite the high contrast of the background making it hard to see at times. With a bit of polish, and a bigger playing area, this could be a good platformer, but it's got some technical flaws right now that seem to be holding it back.
Very funny! Great job
