Nice game, great music, too bad there is no Azerty controls :(.

Nice game with great music, but as you said the controls are a bit odd.
Good luck!

Nice game.
The controls are surprising but have a lot of character. It's actual fun jumping and floating around.
I also liked the music.

Am I crazy, or are the levels in this game actually designed around your screwy controls? There was one jump across lava that I definitely wouldn't have made without a mysterious double jump.

I think you could have done with more darkness. The first few levels I forgot I had a light power because I could see everything fine. More actual darkness + more light sources would have been a better solution I think.

@cgmorton Well, you're right with the level design :). Once I realized that fixing this control will be impossible in the time, I made the levels a little harder. And I know which jump you're talking about. If you look carefully, the rotating blue light shows you hidden, invisible blocks when shining directly upward. The shaddows will also help you. And using your scepter light will make it obvious.

I will continue working on the game and definitely play with the lights a little more.

I love the mood of this game. The music and sound fx are great too! The wall climbing seemed a little 'floaty', not sure if that was intended or not, it didn't detract from the game though.

Great job! Nice music and light effect! Like you said, the controls are a bit strange, it feels more like jumping than flying xp
My score is still low (94) but I'll try to beat it!
Find it funny how in the end the game is named "Gravity Warrior", I guess it was your original idea xp

sim00n 2015-04-21 00:26

Haha forgot to change that. Thanks for noticing. Yeah at first you were supposed to control gravity but I changed my idea to using light as your weapon and making the levels darker.

I couldn't see any particular relationship to the theme.

monkeedude1212 2015-04-21 01:08

Yeah, the only real Issue I had was all the movement controls that you've mentioned. Gameplay concept is good, music and audio good, level design good.

Is the light the weapon for the theme?
The graphic looks nice, but the controls are hard to get
And the levels are too dim, and SPACE should cast more light.

sim00n 2015-04-21 01:25

Yes the light is the weapon. The point of the dim light was that you use your light scepter to illuminate the area around you and carefully get through.

Very very cool game! Fits a lot as the kind of "perfect" games for jams. Congrats!
