Fun Game! It's really challenging, but I finished it!

i dig the art style
but for some reason the movement feel stuttering

davidcmcdonald 2015-12-14 05:22

couldnt get it to load on web, consider webGL

jcmonkey 2015-12-14 05:23

interesting game, the art style is nice and clean.

Super cute main character and song, but waaaay to hard.

Eviscerated myself completely, made it to the end of the world, flew off into blue.

frenchie 2015-12-14 05:34

Cute graphics! But I had a really hard time controlling the player. I would get stuck in the ground sometimes and I once died just from landing :(

karlipoppins 2015-12-14 05:34

Great graphics! The sound loop was a bit short! Very challenging! I hated that cactus at more than one moment lol!! Also a bit of an issue with stuttering? Otherwise it's a really fun little platformer. Good job!

Unity Web Player doesn't count as Web (to me, at least. Needs a plugin not available on Linux), can you change the link to say "Unity Web Player" or something along those lines?

chaserbrown 2015-12-14 06:27

I managed to exploit a glitch where you press "x" while the smallest size. It essentially keeps on side-scrolling while popping the Sea Cucumber out of existence! I love how you incorporated actual Sea Cucumber behavior!

duobix 2015-12-14 06:28

Too hard, I can't jump high enough to say that this isn't frustrating.

mukult 2015-12-14 06:38

Nice game!! But the game seems to be a bit laggy with the web build...
Controls do feel clunky... But awesome work! :)

The main character is really cute. The difficulty is a bit high at the beginning; I would've liked to see a less steep difficulty ramp.

You get top humour for making a Sea Cucumber game! ( http://bit.ly/1QnLzSu )

I liked the growing mechanic a lot.

boundtotheearth 2015-12-14 07:36

The whole "press x to eviscerate organs" thing is pretty funny but the game is a little too unforgiving with the jumps. I like how you ease the player into the game by introducing the mechanics gradually instead of just dumping it all in one place

Cool concept. Possibly a bit too difficult at the start, but fun once you get the hang of it.

elenesski 2015-12-14 09:10

Fun game, really a challenge. Worked fine for me.

veverichka 2015-12-14 15:50

Hard, yet somehow addictive. Good job!

plasmaernst 2015-12-14 18:14

Nice game, though it was very hard for me (only got to level two). At times the Cucumber would stop, messing up my timing - unfair. Good job overall, a pitty my slow reflexes kept me from completing.

takemikazuchi545 2015-12-15 06:31

Hey guys. Thanks for all the feedback and comments. I've updated the game to fix an issue where people were getting stuck and losing as a result. I would love to tweak the difficulty but I feel like that wouldn't be in the spirit of the rules since it would change much of the design. If I end up polishing this more I'll definitely post links though. Thanks again!

I'm getting old, my reactions aren't fast enough! ;D
Love the chippy music and retro oldskool fee. :)

roseninja 2015-12-16 04:24

like the music, but won't jump when press space good game tho

donengland 2015-12-16 08:07

There was a bit of stuttering that made the jumping difficult in some places. Especially the triple obstacle plus bread in level 3. I like the graphical style!

disdanes 2015-12-17 04:56

This was really challenging and fun, I also liked the clean art style.

mountainranger 2015-12-17 06:45

Really solid gameplay. Great game.

themeorch 2015-12-17 06:52

Absolutely lovely artwork in this game. I just love the style!

There seems to be a little stutter whenever I hit the ground -- it looks like it might be because the character is actually falling ever so slightly through the ground upon landing, but I'm not sure.

The game definitely is challenging, but I worry that it's too much in the direction of frustrating/tedious challenge, at least at the start.

sikosis 2015-12-17 07:00

Very cool graphics but brutal gameplay with the steps to jump. Great entry.

ludic 2015-12-17 07:05

The graphics are good and music is funy, but the control is tough and the game is to hard, it would be good if the jump was highest or gravity force lower.

dustyroom 2015-12-17 09:26

Think it would be nice made a higher jump.

bubsypoochies 2015-12-17 09:26

Love the presentation and humor in your game! Thinking about a sea cucumber for a platformer is not a simple task at all, really creative and innovative stuff :D Wish we could get a bit further though, it's incredibly challenging ;) Great work!

jezzamon 2015-12-17 11:45

Uh.... so it took me a good 10 minutes to get past the first stair case.

After that I couldn't really find it fun anymore. I tried to! I got up to level 3 and then was like "no thanks"

drfallos 2015-12-17 12:40

Seacucumber is fun! i haven't seen scores or progress while running.

monetai 2015-12-17 13:32

The character is cute and the controls and physics are good but, wow, this is way too hard ! I finally gave up after trying 30 times to pass the first steps.

knason 2015-12-17 19:44

Cute, fun game it was a bit hard I never seemed to get past that 3 step obstacle, but I really liked the music and the graphic was nice that sea cucumber was really cute! well done!

nassi 2015-12-17 22:24

Barely made it to the second level after countless restarts. The stuttery movement and the jumping not feeling too good made it a tough sell although the art and the aesthetic in general was pretty solid. Also I feel like the mechanic makes the game somewhat trial-and-error based, since at least my reflexes aren't good enough to adapt to a given situation fast enough by shrinking myself.

tobia88 2015-12-18 08:23

interesting game here!

jupiter_hadley 2015-12-29 20:34

Found it strangely hard... I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/EztdlDzFrUE

fisilva 2015-12-30 16:44

Nice art style, but a bit too hard for me.

georgebroussard 2016-01-04 16:20

Solid entry. Barely got past second level. Pretty small timings on the jumps. Interesting idea with the growing of your character and shrinking.
