Cool music. Nice game :)

bryan-coen 2018-04-23 01:49

Looks great!

Hey, I tried playing your game through HTML5 and am getting the following error - http://prntscr.com/j8skbs

I downloaded the game, and it was quite fun! Great job :).

moczan 2018-04-23 02:05

Quite a fun little game, it could be a great party game with multiplayer that's actually in the game contrary to my original comment :D The game's theme song is quite nice, why don't you play it during gameplay tho? It would be ideal, like a gentlemen's boxing match, but with pogosticks!

jcmonkey 2018-04-23 02:10

nice game you have here. i just wish i had better control over the characters. other then that it was fun.

poroh 2018-04-23 02:18

I did not expect to hear such a good sound in the compo. :) nice work

wskilljoy 2018-04-23 11:34

@Serious07 Thank you!

@Bryan Coen Thank you as well!

@SniperA When you get that error, you need to disable adblock. Thanks for playing, though!

@Moczan Thank you! I felt that having the music during the gameplay was a bit overwhelming, and it didn't fit the style of the game, but maybe you're right.

@JCMonkey Thanks! Yeah, physics-based movement doesn't really work.

@Poroh Thank you so much!

This is a lovely, lovely idea and you executed it well.

damien-remars 2018-04-23 13:12

Bookmarking it to play it later with someone!

Simple yet brilliant game, me and my gf played against each other and had a blast! Bonus point for Godot, always love to see good Godot games. Bravo.

blinkenlights 2018-04-23 22:04

SO MUCH DRIFT! But incredibly fun and simple. Would probably be great to play with friends...if I had friends *sob *

wskilljoy 2018-04-23 22:05

@Blinkenlights Physics-based movement isn't great, I agree. I feel you on the friends thing. Nothing like beta-testing against myself.

fashionbatman 2018-04-23 22:06

The movement was a bit too floaty for me, it felt like I didn't have that much control. But other than that this was a fun game. A really simple concept that works well. Great job!

incobalt 2018-04-23 22:13

It looks and sounds great! That opening music made me hoping for more in the maps, but I didn't hear anything bust the bouncing there. Oh well. I don't really know what you were going for with the theme here, though.

I enjoyed the starting screen music - felt like a 1960's diner lol. This game gave me such bad flashbacks to my early SSMB days - getting shoved off the edge I wanted to yell at the other person playing. Simple mechanics executed well. :thumbsup:

chormacorple27 2018-04-23 22:18

This game is really fun, even if it's also super frustrating. I died a whole bunch, but that's ok, because dying is part of the fun of it. I love how quick it is. You don't have you wait to come back, you just do. I really like this game!

morphine 2018-04-23 22:23

Well I'm the undisputed king vs my wife. Her hand eye coordination isn't so good you see. Nice music too!

blinkenlights 2018-04-23 22:24

@wsKilljoy Truer words were never spoken. I used physics in my game, but I had to severely counteract it with formulas to get it smooth (an I feel it's still a little slow), but the feedback's been positive! Give it a spin if you feel like it: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/cruise-co

mathiouza 2018-04-23 23:40

I haven't friend ... :( But the game seems to be really good ! It is pollished and seems to be challenging with these controls.

Nice game ! Keep coding :)

wskilljoy 2018-04-23 23:49

@Mathiouza thanks!

notb 2018-04-24 00:00

it has a nice responsive feel to it. gonna try it with a friend later. great job!

adroitconceptions 2018-04-24 00:13

so... interesting game... with the AI.. all but level 1 you just "don't fall' an you win.

wskilljoy 2018-04-24 00:25

@Jason Kennedy There isn't any AI. It's meant to be local multiplayer, with one player controlling red with WASD and the other controlling blue with the arrows.

dob 2018-04-24 02:39

Terrific music - very nice job with this. The game was fun. I think it would have been more fun had I another person to play with, but I got the hang of jumping around and bonking folks. I think having the option for bouncy walls rather than transparent might be a cool addition. Graphics were simple but stylish, gameplay solid, although I think you might be retaining a keypress variable, because some levels I started out with my movement toggled on, and died instantly. Very good work overall. Nice job.

ananace 2018-04-24 16:24

Can't comment on how well of a versus game it plays due to not having anyone to challenge. The music is really nice though, and the controls are quite solid, if with a slightly low lateral friction.

On another note, the Linux version seems to segfault on exit, with a whole block of errors left filling the console.

wskilljoy 2018-04-24 20:48

@Ananace That's quite odd. I'm on Arch and have no problems. What distro are you using?

silkworm-sweatshop 2018-04-24 22:28

Me and a coworker had some fun with this. Some polish to the graphics would help to keep the interest up though and maybe some music for the levels too.

mrwillowb 2018-04-25 05:22

Simple looking style it wasn't my sort of game.

designernap 2018-04-25 10:50

Great game! Simple, fun, great audio, solid presentation. Nice work!

baby-dino-herd 2018-04-25 16:14

Really cute! Loved the music (and that you've shared the score). Game is simple but fun, and the graphics are effective enough.

I would agree with @Ananace that the low lateral friction felt weird -- being able to accelerate so much in mid-air is not very intuitive and makes it a little difficult to control in the small spaces of the levels. Great job otherwise!

nilstastic 2018-04-25 17:42

wow! this was so mutch fun! nice work!
