@ilezhnin Fixed it, thank you for commenting:)
Stressful gameXD It's hard to find keys but thats the goal of the game! Good and simple graphics:)
Web version worked for me and I was able to complete all the levels. Its a pretty simple maze runner type game. I don't really see where the running out of space theme is in the game but overall it's a playable game.
Wow, simple idea, but in all it's really fun and a lil bit hard. Unfortunately, one bug stopped me while playing (when i enter to green wall, win message displayed, but i couldn't press "space" to skip this message), but otherwise it's even a lil bit satisfying. Nice job :thumbsup:
Nice and simple game. The controls were smooth and I enjoyed the look of the dude I was controlling. The only real problem I ran in to was when I failed to complete a level, I was greeted with a "Press Space to Try Again" screen, but, no matter what I tried (including pressing 'space') I couldn't get the game to restart. Good job!.
@borys @fussenkuh Yeah I totally missed that bug before posting^^ Tip to restart quickly in either case is to press Escape. That will take you back to the home screen from any state:) But I should probably fix the bugs too^^ Glad you enjoyed the game!:)
@swini Haha thanks!!:)
@negativegeforce Due to time running out I didn't implement all the ideas I had that would've made it more fitting to the theme. But maybe I'll add them in a later version, along with bug fixes^^ Thank you for playing and rating!:)
Fun game, but as others already said you can't restart with space.
Also, I very rarely could not move further if i was walking diagonally in a wall. Very weird but not too bothersome.
In general a very nice game :)
when I hit the blue wall on the bottom, I got the "You won! Press Space to Continue" screen but pressing space did nothing. I was able to hit esc and select the level again but I wish I could restart without waiting through all the animations.
There's not a whole lot I can say about the mechanics; I wasn't able to work out what determined which direction the wall was coming from, and it would have been nice to have some way to track where the keys were, other than learning the levels through multiple playthroughs. Maybe 4 arrows around the player. Some more depth wouldn't have hurt, but I understand wanting to keep the scope small. The controls were a little bit floaty, since the character doesn't stop when I stop pressing the button. I don't know if that's intentional.
You might want to add "esc to exit to menu" to the game's description.
@winnie33 "I could not move further if i was walking diagonally in a wall." Hmm.. that's weird xD I'll look into it;) Thanks for the inputs and for playing!:)
@amras0000 I just now uploaded a version where I fixed the major bugs, so now it should be a better experience to some extend^^ I really liked your inputs, I was actually planning on giving the player a higher view for about 5 sec, just to get familiar with the level before playing it. But I liked you idea of having arrows pointing in the right direction. It got me thinking of maybe adding some similar indications of where the walls are. Instead of the timer.
And one thing I definitely wish I added was some way of knowing how many of them you collected^^
Thank you so much for your input, and for playing my game!:) Feel free to try again now when the bugs are fixed;)
Snappy, tight controls, good test of my crappy memory to be honest. Is there sound? Could do with some nice audio
Pretty solid game man, definitely would have helped if it had sound though. Good job :)
@tednesday Yeah there should've been som audio, next update;) Thanks for playing!:)
It's amazing how such a simple idea can work so well. I really lucked this once. Wish I my orientation sense was better, though xD
Hey, a good old fashioned maze game. Ain't nuthin' wrong with that.
If you were to continue work on this post-Jam, I can think of a couple of quality of life tweaks you could make; some kind of UI showing how many objects you've collected and have left to collect, and maybe some pointer arrows if not to the objects themselves then to the exit location.
Solid compo entry in a classic genre that fits the theme, I can't really say much more than that!
Simple and fun. Wish the theme wouldve been used more as a game mechanic and less just a time restraint
It was hard but fun. I love the clean art style and the simple animations. The concept is easy to understand but i was expecting a little time bonus when I delivered each key (mainly for level 3 and 4). But great game! It reminds me in some way of agar.io.
@girania Haha great exercise for you then, glad you enjoyed it!:)
@mrnyarlathotep @omnipotentindie @bichodust Thanks guys for the inputs, I'll keep it in mind when I develop the game further and in future jams!:) Awesome that you liked the game!!
Simple concept, simple graphics, but very challenging and additive. Nice job.
The art style is quite impressive. Simple concept but good gameplay. Time limit makes is a little hard. Overall good job!
@schizoid2k @lastleaf Really appreciate that guys, thank you so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed my game:)
A cool game, the scroller seems to be redundant as you have time ticking off already. The control feels very nice, except that the ball has too much friction with the walls it seems. A fun game with a bit weak intepretation of the theme. Im sure if you had more time it would have been much much better. Would be cool to see a local multiplayer version of this as well!
A think the graphics required a little more polishing, but the controls work great. Im not sure how the game fits the theme though, but as i didnt find any bugs during the gameplay i had fun playing it.
@nam-nguyen Thanks man, appreciate the comment!:) A multiplayer version hit me too at some point, I think that'd be fun to add somehow!
@derek-volker Yeah I'm with you on the graphics^^ Thanks man, glad you liked playing the game!:)
Great game! While the graphics are simplistic, I think they're fine that way, personally. This game is definitely one of the more challenging ones I've played so far, I almost got through level 4. Keep up the great work!
Simple game and fun to play. I loved the simplistic art style, especially the level selection. The text shown when levels are completed was a little bit too big. Great work though!
Simple and fun little game with good graphics. Level design was good too. Good job!
@jared-york @pixelformedstudios @albin Thank you guys so much for comments and for playing my game, truly an great experience through out this LD!:)
i love the simplistic look, it shows how little is often more. And i liked the fast movement for fast paced gameplay. But i think it didn't fit the theme very well, because the wall is not of great importance. It felt more like about running out of time
Thanks for being a web game lol. Enjoyed the game, the controls were very easy to use, the player felt fast but not too fast, and easy to understand. No complaints really - good job!
Simple but there was something that could not be stopped. It was fun that decision I carry back the item soon, or find items more. Good job!
@johannimations I agree with you about the game not really fitting to the theme, I came up with some better ideas afterwards so the game would be more fitting, and all I had to do was to tweak some minor things. That just shows how important it is to really think through the ideas.. Haha well, maybe next time!:) Thanks for the input and for playing my game, appreciate it a lot! @rayaarito @shimage2 Thank you guys, glad to hear you enjoyed my game!:)
Nice game, I like the flow. Could be much better if music is added.
Now you can play our game, CUBICAT leave a 5 STAR humor rating please!
Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D
Simple game, I like it ;)
@danny-sun Yeah I really wished I had the time for audio x) Thank you man for playing my game!:)
@suchista @cristihkj Thank you guys! Glad to hear:)
Nice little game.
Nothing groundbreaking, but a solid maze runner. You got the timing perfectly for the 4 levels. I was always down to a few seconds.
I only saw the theme appear in the last stage, never saw the closing in wall on the first three.
Sound!
Simple but challenging :) Design is simple and to the point.
I don't get a specific mood or humor involved but there is a sense of urgency. Good job on the theme :)
@endurion Yeah I wished the theme was a bit more clear in the game, and of course some sound would definitely improved the game. Unfortunately, time ran out on me.. But hey, thanks for playing my game, and I'm glad you still enjoyed it!:) Hopefully I'll make an even better one next time! @leif-einar-eide Thanks man, appreciate it a lot!:)
Wow! Such a simple game and yet it made me so stressed haha! I loved it! This mix of tight time pressure and trying to keep track where everything is.. amazing! You also hit the theme perfectly! :)
A simple game, sure, with a simple mechanic, sure, but the most important to say is that it works quite well!! I had no issue with controls and I managed to finish the game. And it was fun! Although I didn't notice the walls you were talking about?
This is your first LD if I'm not wrong and you managed to finish a game that is easy to improve, that's really good, you should keep working on it until you have something very polished that could be showed to anyone without looking "too jammy" ^^'
Good job!
@kivuli Oh wow, thank you for that generous comment man!:)
@kiirohanabi Thanks man, and especially for the fine words about this being a really good first LD! I really appreciate that!:) And yes I really want to keep working on some of the flaws and improve some stuff(like the wall thing) just to polish it up. Thank you again!
I liked the simple mechanics and the way the player moved but as others has said it would be nice to add some more mechanics. Also some music would have really added to this experience, but yeah you probably ran out of time. Overall simple and well done but it would need a bit more to really be fun.
@shakedimus Thank you for an honest review and for playing my game!:)
Fun little game. But i think camera is zoomed in alot. I headslammed to borders without seeing them. And you should know that most people(including me) doesn't read controls or description. So maybe a text telling the objective would be nice. :thumbsup:
@ytaha Thanks man for the constructive criticism, I'll have your ideas in mind when I'm improving it!:) Thanks for playing my game!
I like the controls and the mechanics of the game, and they were really smooth. Interesting concept, good job!
@anubhav-kashyap Thanks man, appreciate it!:)
Loved the smooth controls and feel when playing the game! Acceleration feels great! :) It does miss a few sounds, though, but you've got something there! ;)
It reminded me a lot of playing with marbles! XD
Really nice little game! Character movement is smooth and enjoyable and the concept is a nice use of the theme.
@yuigoto @jordantanner Thank you guys!:)
I liked the Graphics, and the Gameplay was fun, Nice Game. :thumbsup:
@andrei9 Thank you, appreciate it!:)
