The story is interesting but it's almost impossible to read because the text is so stylized. Everything kills you in 1 hit, so it's kinda nerve-wracking but I also keep getting lost because I'm not sure where else to go. Still, it's neat!
I think the graphics, while minimalist, look good. Admittedly, I have no idea what this has to do with the theme, but the music sounded good!
I like the art of this game but i dont understand what i need make in this game.
Cool entry, the mood works very well. I liked the work on music switches. Too hardcore for me though, with the black platforms and the absence of checkpoints @_@
The music is pretty awesome :) That's more soundtrack than most games have! There's significant breadth of moods and tempos, as well as a subtle consistency across the tracks that makes the, feel like they belong together.
(I only have time to download the music, as I'm on a mobile device - sorry for not playing). I gave you 1/7th of a five star rating point for the audio, though.
I liked the music, great job on that. I'm not sure if I was encountering a bug or if maybe I didn't understand what I was supposed to do, but there was no background and I kept falling into holes causing the game to restart. Congrats on finishing your game!
I enjoyed the atmosphere and the minimal art, and the varied soundtrack, but it takes too long to get back into the game after you die. There's a whole 10 seconds of you fading out, and the intro replaying that could be mostly cut out.
I had thought that you were playing as a series of clones, and I thought that, for instance, after opening the fan gate, that it would stay open on subsequent lives. This might be an interesting mechanic to consider.
Ship controlled really well and I liked the aesthetic. Did feel the background could have done some more variation and colour though :)
I didn't get very far in the game as I am not good at platforming and have limited patience for long restart times. I liked graphics and the music and the actual platforming felt pretty solid. The one change that would make this infinitely more enjoyable would be instant restarts, like in Super Meat Boy. When a player dies and you show them a death animation that takes 5 seconds and then have them locked in the title screen for another 5 seconds on top of starting them all the way back at the beginning of the game, it is a bit disheartening, especially for those of us who are bad at platformers. If you had that restart time but started us off at the same screen we died on, or if you removed the restart time and started us at the beginning that would be good. Both would have been amazing, but the combo of both makes it super frustrating especially when you have blind jumps.
tldr; respect your players' time.
I have read all of your comments and deeply from my heart,I thank you all. There is a ting I noticed in most comments is the blind jump...All of the platforms are ok but there are three falls which will kill you,The first one and the two with lasers,others are safe to fall and must be jumped into. and The long death..I agree I will change this after the jam and might actually expand the game.And yes,You are a clone but ze last one.
The game was a little bit hard, I reached the red point, and when I was getting back, the enemies killed me ! I think that adding checkpoints is going to be nice, even if it's good to challenge the player to finish the game in only one try or one health. I think that you picked the wrong theme because there was also a theme called "1HP". The art was really simple and pretty. I liked those songs a lot. Overall, was a little funny game, but could you pls make it full screen ? because this will make the experience better.
