This is one of the more innovative games here I'll give it that. It has a couple of platforming bugs, unless it was intentional for you to hand off of the edges. I don't know how important it is for you to beat the static out though considering it doesn't do anything except block the view.
Interesting concept, and fun gameplay.
I loved the graphics, and the difficulty curve was perfect!
Really great! I loved the concept, 5/5 for theme, your volume slider nob was really cool too. I wanted the numpad thing to be more obvious, i couldn't figure it out at first. The concept of the TV's was really awesome though.
Great concept. The difficulty ramps up a bit fast. Nice one!
Good spin on the theme. Not sure what is the use of the volume dial. Good work !
Really solid game! I really dig the tv tuner knob as volume control. The little dude's anmiation seemed pretty smooth. The hit detection was a bit odd at times but I like this game a lot
Neat idea! Jumping to platforms that were right above each other got a little hard. Nice mind bender for remembering where each screen edge goes to. :)
Really cool idea with mixing up the tiles. The controls could have been a little tighter but the music was really nice. Good work!
Interesting mechanics! I love how the screens work. I like the art style, even though it is limited.
Completed the game getting 9 out of 10 stars. I'm guessing the last was on one of the two blank screens but I couldn't find it.
The game was fun, and the audio choice worked well with the game. It was pretty cool with the multiple, misplaced and rotated screen. I'm guessing there are many games like this, but you were the first I saw so you get the innovation vote.
The controls were a bit slippery though. It was very easy to miss a platform even when its not rotated or misplaced, and levels 5 and 8 were definitely the most frustrating because of this. Also the wall hanging mechanic was a bit wonky, and often when I tried to jump from a hanging position it would immediately get me stuck in the same location. It's probably possible to fix this by triggering the wall hang logic only when the player is falling, but that's making quite a few assumptions on your code.
I liked that it was not too easy. Better to make it too hard than too easy. I did notice that you could stand on the side of platforms.
A very clever use of theme! I do wish there were some visual clues to help figure out which screens are connected where, without having to rely on trial-and-error. Maybe gradients or something? Anyway, great job!
good innovation. love the game. overall, a job well done!
I love the interpretation of the theme, that's your best category :D
So there does seem to be a way to hang onto walls with your hitbox (use your head), then jump again. Dunno how intentional it is but I used it to cheese level 4.
The static element feels somewhat disjointed from the rest of the game, like a little chore you have to do in order to be allowed to play the game. Aside from maybe an evil mobile game where you need microtransactions to get rid of the static, I don't really see a way the game could need that element :s
The music is well chosen, the sound is neither lacking nor overwhelming, so points there.
The game may be hard, but because you show clearly how many levels there are, I find this is mostly OK. I say mostly because there is a bit (having to make blind jumps in level 5) which does feel unfair (even if you can think it over, it doesn't feel great having to do a blind jump so many times in a row)
Great game, strong contestant, and like any game has a few ways you can make it even better! Well done!
pretty cool. I like that the continuity of the screens breaks up after the first level, so there's a bit more thought required to progress. However, I did *not* care for the static that eventually blocked out screens after awhile. If it was manually scripted in such a way that it imposed a consistent time limit, it would have been fine. Unfortunately, since it seems to affect screens randomly, you can find yourself failing a level in virtually no time at all, even though you haven't done anything really wrong yet.
You can clear the screens by pressing your numpad keys. :) Although others have had issues with the static too so I'll accept your criticism.
This laptop doesn't have numpad keys! That didn't seem to disadvantage me too much though, since you can just reset.
Also would like arrows to work as well as WASD.
