Amazing Work :) Loved it.

tasteslikefuture 2015-04-20 19:16

This game is amazing! The aesthetics and sound are really great, and the mechanics are super awesome! Definitely fits the theme. Has an almost super meat boy way of making one look at the puzzles to try and think outside the box. I would love to see a full release of this game. Excellent work!

Wow, brilliantly designed. The way that you make each area impassible until you figure out a new way to use the bubbles, and then you have to use that technique from then on! EXCELLENT level construction and difficulty curve.

kyyrma 2015-04-20 19:52

The aesthetic is spot on, very good emulation of an early monochrome LCD screen. Deceptively simple mechanic and fantastic puzzles.

ccglp 2015-04-20 19:53

It was fun! The level design is amazing, and I like this style of graphics, good work!

sbarrio 2015-04-20 19:54

Very well executed. The art style is really cool and the controls are spot on. Great work!

secret_tunnel 2015-04-20 19:55

Oh wow, this is a really cool mechanic! Really nice minimalistic art and sound that blend really well too.

I'd like for there to be an automatic checkpoint on each screen. Having to go through puzzles you already solved is tedious. I got to the one where you're on a high cliff with a wall of spikes on it before giving up. But I'd be really interested to see this mechanic expanded into a full game, if there's anything more to explore with it!

Awesome game mechanic with an great art style. I loved the game despite getting stuck fairly early on into the game. I will definitely put this aside though and try and figure it out.

I suck at puzzles.

haveric 2015-04-20 19:56

This game definitely needs checkpoints. It takes a while to get used to new controls like this and going back to the beginning of the level each time is frustrating. Otherwise, it's a fun game with great music.

hyoga-3d 2015-04-20 19:57

Really nice idea, animation were very nice, but putting the gun in X button complicated because it's difficult to walk and shoot.

arttut02 2015-04-20 19:58

Nice job. Game was really well made. Nice use of the theme...

chromebookbob 2015-04-20 20:02

Brilliant puzzles, I love the aesthetic!

junber 2015-04-20 20:02

Damn really awesome game. Probably the best one I have played so far. Nice idea, cool retro graphics and challenging level design. The only thing I could think of missing is music (especially since the name is Beep Boop)

sch00f 2015-04-20 20:05

The best game I've played so far, and I just love it!
Awesome gameplay mechanic that I've never seen before, minimalistic & nice artstyle (love that you can change the colourpalette), cool soundtrack and a good difficulty curve.
The only negative point that I found was that I couldn't exit the game with ESC...
I hope that you make some more levels!

maesk 2015-04-20 20:06

Great gameboy style graphics, music is fine, and nice mechanic. It's a little to harsh to start from the beginning every time you fall, but nice work nonetheless.

snesgaard 2015-04-20 20:06

Really great level design and control scheme. Even the visual was pleasingly reminiscent of the original GameBoy.

knarf2011 2015-04-20 20:12

Love the aesthetic, love the puzzles. Was a great deal of fun to play.

furrikira 2015-04-20 20:25

This is great! Now this is my kind of thing~
I was expecting 8-bit beeps since it's "Beep Boop"
Either way, I don't want to repeat what Tasteslikefuture said but I would also have the same opinion as him and would really like to see a full release of this game!

I also won it: http://puu.sh/hkWWB/a8f11d44e4.jpg

influxwishdream 2015-04-21 02:05

Everything is pretty much tied together very well. Save for the music but, that's fine. It makes you calm.

I've enjoyed the game, specially with the difficulty curve. It's very nice.

nightlord 2015-04-21 03:00

very cool feel and level design for a relatively difficult to implement mechanic. very nice puzzles too. congrats

shawnfeatherly 2015-04-21 17:22

Loved the level design and overall mood. Wouldn't mind a few more re-spawn points along the way tho.

fixitteam 2015-04-21 19:31

smooth gameplay :)
good job

sayhiben 2015-04-22 02:24

Love the MegaMan death animation. Clever mechanic.

khaotom 2015-04-22 19:16

Plays very well. It's a nice use of the theme. The LCD look is nice and clean. The game does a good job shoing how to play and introducing the mechanics. A very well put together entry, well done!

themeorch 2015-04-22 20:00

You've got a really cool mechanic here, and you explore it really satisfyingly over the course of the levels. The visual aesthetic is great too. The checkpoints are a bit too unforgiving I think, resulting in the need to replay sections you've already mastered multiple time, but otherwise this is really quite amazing. Nice work!

hotboxgames 2015-04-22 20:22

Oh wow - simple, clean, great looking platformer with a pretty neat mechanic. Love the colour change options, adds a nice retro feel somehow :D Found it to be a little bit easy, but this is ludum dare after all (plus we always get told our games are too hard xD).

Great work!

jesterswilde 2015-04-22 22:59

Very well executed on all fronts. You're like an executioner. One who executes. Good job.

hexdie 2015-04-23 03:14

Really good game! I liked the mechanic and the level design is great! I also really enjoyed the art and aesthetic. Great work!

jmaggard62 2015-04-23 04:37

Was a ton of fun. I basically just pogo'd everywhere I could. Loved the mechanic

kristof 2015-04-23 07:17

Very nice mechanic. The graphics remind me of my old Nokia phone :D
It took me a while to find out, that you had to jump and press down at the same time to shoot down. Probably because I used W to jump at first, which does not seem to work with pressing down at the same time. And for some reason when I found out how it worked, my brain still couldn't handle jumping and pressing down at the same time :D
But still, I think you did a great job with the game. It feels very polished!

andrea 2015-04-23 21:51

Very cute and very interesting game!
The level design is amazing even though I'd love a save point afer the hardest part, but then again, once you're used to them they go down easy.
Loved it, well done!

thescragglyman 2015-04-23 21:54

Such a great game, Love the difficulty level, and the mechanic. Great entry.

daredevildave 2015-04-23 22:30

Great, polished, fun. The full package.

crazyheckman 2015-04-23 23:14

Really fun, a couple of the puzzles I found frustrating, but maybe I was just solving them wrong? The one that is just a huge drop off with spikes down the side was really difficult to pull of even though I knew how to do it the entire time. Flawless in every other respect though.

xanjos 2015-04-24 00:52

Slightly difficult due to how the checkpoints are paced out but I loved the mechanics and the Game and Watch style graphics.

twoscoopgames 2015-04-24 02:36

I really enjoyed this game! The mechanic is really interesting. It ramped up in difficulty rather quick, and I could not get too far. I noticed from the screenshots there were different worlds/ obsticles/ artwork that looked really fun. Great work!

srakowski 2015-04-24 03:40

Love the style, mood is great, and the mechanic is awesome. Solid platformer. Well done!

tselmek 2015-04-24 15:10

Great game! The mechanics are pretty unique and the controls are easy to use, the level design is more than amazing and the progressive tutorial is really well handled. Sounds and graphics create a nice atmosphere and the color swipe is a neat touch.

I really wish for a full version of this game, it has a lot of potential. Congratulations!

rnlf 2015-04-24 19:01

Really, really cool game! The mechanics remind me a bit of Pid, but in a good and different way! I like the (almost) monochrome art style (for some reason Unity didn't allow my native resolution, which blurred the display a bit, but I guess that's not your fault).

It could have used a few more checkpoints, but besides that, very good entry and great level design.

seconddimension 2015-04-24 19:59

Really well designed and thought out game. Graphics were simple yet perfect for the game and the controls felt great. Very enjoyable game.

ftvs 2015-04-26 08:52

Good idea and level design. Respawns are on the harsh side.

mrshoestore 2015-04-27 00:56

very clever and fun. i do feel the checkpoints need to be a little more frequent, because if you solve on of the movement 'puzzles' then die on the next, you shouldn't have to redo past challenges. though that could be that i wanted to see more of the game, but was spending too much time redoing my mistakes over and over

perecil 2015-04-28 21:12

One word. ROOOOOCKET JUUUMP! (OK, that's two words) :D

norwalnate13 2015-04-28 21:34

I really like the art style. I read your post mortem. I see what you mean by there being difficulty spikes. I'm stuck in one area, but I'm determined to figure it out.

managore 2015-04-29 02:14

Fantastic game! There is an impressive amount of puzzles using the mechanic in really interesting ways. Awesome work! :D

joe40001 2015-05-05 16:07

Very well made game. I love how you could change the 2 colors. Some people might find the difficulty a bit too much but for me it was alright. The song could have been a bit more upbeat, but overall really good job!

deadbodyoutline 2015-05-05 22:13

Great game, loved the old style visual and the sound! The level design on this one is incredible too!

team-ex-sword-stential 2015-05-11 19:20

What I like about this game is definitely longer than what I felt needed work. The controls were very smooth, I liked the minimalist, old-school graphics style and the tonal audio/SFX. I also enjoyed the gameplay mechanics immensely.

However, as an individual who is notoriously bad at platformers in general, ending up back at the beginning every time I failed a jump was intensely frustrating, and caused me to stop playing even though I wanted to continue with the levels.

For a game with mechanics such as this, you really want to make sure that the player, at minimum, ends up back at the beginning of a new "section" of puzzle/platforming, and not farther back than what they've already completed. It can make things tedious and wear things rather thin, and you want to make sure that the game doesn't get stale. You want to make sure the player is either a) experiencing something new or b) overcoming an obstacle they haven't mastered yet, in order to keep things moving.

Other than that, this was solid. :) Good job!
