I really like the idea and the design of the character. It would be nice though if the blocks did not stack up above and block other important blocks to fall down to make the way to the safe platform. The game is pretty fun though :)
Thanks ! Yes we would to make the game engine better and to avoid to get some stack problem with block appear but we missing the timer.
Maybe in the future we'll correct this ;)
my feedback: :o: the graphics are so good :o: colors and style is very good :x: it's a bit difficult
I love the graphics, the audio is pretty fine the idea of the game isn't that innovative but it fit perectly with the theme and it works overall really nice job :)
Thanks for your comments. I'm take your feedback for a future version of the game. :)
Thank you all for your comments and feedbacks ! Of course, we take every advice into consideration for the future. We'll definitely improve the mechanics, graphics and music after the Ludum Dare rating session, when we'll have all the time we need.
We are aware of some issues you may encounter in the game, and those will be rectified.
Nice game with slick controls I made a similar game Good luck🍀
Thanks for your comment
I could be a really good game with a design pushed a bit ahead. We can feel there is a good idea, but it is not set up perfectly yet.
Greeted by a nice colourscheme. Not a big fan of the big text in the bottom right, self I prefer that to be smaller and more discrete. Something you can look up, not something that gets in your face. If you jump as you're about to get crushed you get "stuck" inside the falling block, in the same way you can escape tricky situations. Music is a bit repetetive and simple, but it gets the job done. It fits well with the game and the sound effects (swoosh on jump) is neat! Animations are few but well done! Controls work well. Liking the camera work but there is an issue on the 2nd level when you get blocks that fill up the screen and you have to go on top of what you can see.. Maybe for a future release try to get the randomness more towards the finish or to empty columns(?) since most of the time I'm waiting and can't decide where I want the next block to fall. For a game of this kind, it would also be good with a visual clue in some way to hint the player roughly in what direction the goal is. A small arrow in the edge of the screen, starting a level starts with the camera at the goal and zooms to player, a minimap, the name of the level giving a hint.. something like that so you know whether you're supposed to traverse horizontally or vertically.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm nagging, don't get me wrong. I really liked the graphics/artstyle/audio/controls/gameplay/idea. You did a really nice job with the theme and I'm looking forward to where you can bring this game and I hope I catch a glance of your upcoming jam games as well! :)
Wow, thank you so much for your comment @nightsong ! There is a lot to say in this game and you raised major of them. We are really proud of us because we was only two with no skill in sound design and pixel art it was the first time i used MonoGame. So it was a challenge for us.
I know we don't have any UI and it's the main problem to create beatuiful interface and if i should correct issues, this game would be so great.
So we'll try to make our best to improve every elements of this game and make it very entertained. Sorry for that english by the way ^^
@nightsong Thanks for your feedback ! We will definitely take each point of it in consideration. Glad you like the sound effects, I actually did most of it with mi voice, haha. We'll improve the gameplay and enhance the graphics and music for sure !
This looks like a fun game, but it has got one problem: The randomness of the blocks being spawned. Because sometimes the level is just impossible because of how the blocks fall. Either you get crushed, or you can't jump high enough. Fix that, add more levels, features, etc. and you got a great game!
It's a nice game. Movement is a bit floaty (which happens to nearly all platformers) so you can't really perfectly align a jump. I liked the graphics and audio. Good work! :smile:
I really love the game idea. My only problem is that the game can be impossible in some cases and I get stuck (huge blocks on one column stacked too high and kept going while I was stuck in my starting position). Otherwise, the visuals are really great and the idea is simple and really fun. Great job.
Fun little game. Was hoping the block's velocity increased per level to increase the challenge.
