I liked it a lot ^_^ the dash jump was very satisfying

I'm not big on vaporwave stuff, so I rated this harsher than other people will. But I think this was a very clever way to get around the one screen rule.

IT'S NOT VAPORWAVE IT'S CYBER-FUSION

Love the sound and the gameplay. It's challenging but thanks to the checkpoints not unfair. I think, I will return to play this game from time to time.

Wow, this is a great entry! I loved how you used the checkpoint/level end system to create more levels in the same space, and the ambience was great. I really struggled trying to get to that second checkpoint, though. I'm not sure what it was, but I died something like 45 times trying to make the jump from the first pedestal to the next. Did I need to dash and THEN jump? Not sure... but in any case, it's a brilliantly done little platformer.

Thank you for the game!

YEAH YOU NEED TO DASH AND THEN JUMP / IT'S OKAY THOUGH I FORGIVE YOU

pixel-jolt 2014-12-10 05:33

THANKS EVERYONE

Good job. I got stuck before getting to the second checkpoint as well, just needed to know the dash-jump trick to continue having fun.

My eyes hurt. A+ Good job.

It's nice to see something like this. The audio was great, really enjoyed it. The difficulty ramps up a bit too fast though. Looking forward to getting to the last level.

I finished it! OH MY GOD MY EYES!! After 358 deaths I picked the leaf? And actually thought my eyes were really failing me. It took me 510 deaths to finish. Nice!

HelkeGames 2014-12-11 08:18

Beautiful game! Awesome and unique concept ... I love it

spotco 2014-12-11 08:18

Dash jump should be explained more, and got pretty frustrating with the scarcity of checkpoints.

raiyumi 2014-12-11 08:41

I love it! The main character reminds me a lot of Juni from Knytt Stories.

rottenmage 2014-12-11 10:16

Nice! It was challenging and fun!

pjimmy 2014-12-11 15:17

that is a very funky looking game, nice

huntthewumpus 2014-12-11 15:44

that was fun to play :) instant respawns make games like this so much more enjoyable ;)

foxfiesta 2014-12-11 16:15

I like your style. Everything is nice in this game, well done.

dokthar 2014-12-11 16:31

Damn too hard,but still nice game and nice concept, loved how you did the "levels" :D. For me this game is too exigent on the jump "combo" (if I press an arrow the long jump stop in mid air ...) and that hitbox AAAaarg!

Chroma Kuroma 2, huh? Great work guys, played this game for a while! 4 stars.
What's the player supposed to be?

brighterorange 2014-12-11 17:42

Super! There are always some games in Ludum Dare that I play through to the end even though they are frustrating me, and this was one: I finished with 502s and 375 deaths. I thought the level/game design was the shining quality; the game was really good at showing you that things were possible without too much hand-holding; the checkpoints were in generous enough, and there was some opportunity to "do it the wrong way", which is my favorite. I thought that the controls could be improved: The "dash" key should probably just be a "dash jump" key, since that's what I did 99% of the time, and some of my deaths were just from not successfully timing those two buttons together. Jumping off edges could have used a little help. Otherwise the controls were extremely tight. Visuals and sound were cool, but I really found myself squinting at the board on my screen and I can only imagine on a high-res monitor what it would be like. I also was pretty lost until I saw that 'x' was a key I could use; if this had been introduced in the game like LEAF I think it would have been helpful. I never quite figured out what the rules were for LEAF, like, why do I jump higher when I've been falling longer? But it was still a very satisfying game. Nice work.

IT IS A SEQUEL TO A GAME WE MADE IN GAME MAKER A FEW YEARS AGO. THE PLAYER IS A MYTHICAL CREATURE WHO BOUNCES AROUND. THANKS FOR PLAYING.

zi 2014-12-11 17:47

Awesome game. Cool and trippy audio/visuals, tight controls, and neat concept. However, the difficulty increased way too quickly for me personally. Congrats!

fil00dl 2014-12-11 18:12

great plateformer with strange music and background

randomdragoon 2014-12-13 17:34

Awesome game, had lots of fun. Finally beat it after 500+ deaths

Sometimes the goal is hard to see, and it kind of breaks up the flow of the game scanning the level to figure out where to go. Because of the "one-screeness" of the game, the level design sometimes doesn't make it obvious where I'm supposed to look first, because some level elements are just leftovers from previous levels.

Tip for people playing: Sometimes there is another path...

pixel-jolt 2014-12-13 17:49

THERE IS USUALLY ONE INTENDED PATH, AND ONE HARDER BUT DOABLE PATH. AND ABOUT THE SCANNING THE LEVEL THING, I FOUND IT BEST TO TURN THE BRIGHTNESS UP ON THE MONITOR.

yodamaster 2014-12-14 14:33

I gave up after dying 30 times at the same position.

donovanwu 2014-12-18 05:59

It's very hard... 205 death and I have only made it to the stage of your first screenshot... The double jump is a challenge to really master.
Overall the game is really good. Things look a bit simple at first, but soon you will find that the graphical effect is amazing! Also, I'm amazed that you can make and test out so many levels in just 72 hours.
