Very fun game! I enjoyed the graphics and the happy music.
Thanks! @newtinn
It's a very cute game both in graphism and gameplay.
Really like how the little alien look! The trippy song fits well.
The gameplay feels a little bit flawed to me though. I think that's mostly because you always jump the same distance/height. I think it would help a lot if the distance jumped was determined by how long you keep space pressed. That way it's a little easier to make the smaller jumps. :)
Thanks @anstabo glad you enjoyed it!
The music is funny. The game is a little tough but I like it :)
@oneiros I've completed Cuphead Expert mode and the Splunky hell run and for some reason I was put in charge of level design 😂. I realise this game might be a bit hard for people who don't live off platformers so thanks for the feed back!
beeb is the best. i love this game
Thanks @bovandenberg !
Neat little game. You have to have good timing. And the background music is really cool. You should consider add a parallax backgroud. It really adds to the overall aesthetics, while being simple to implement. Nicely done.
@hakro I toyed with the idea and even got a prototype yet while it worked fine it seemed... out of place?
Enjoyed it, i do agree with the previous comment, that jump should be different and gauged off of how long space is held down. All in all good game bud!
Thanks @danielefisher for the feedback. I do plan on making a squeal to this game in the future with new and updated mechanics, the jump being one of them.
If anyone else feels like they have any ideas I would love to hear them and if anyone is actually looking forward to a squeal please let me know!
This is good, especially for your first playable game!Music is great, and so is the art. A few of tips, though: 1.) The first set of jumps is too hard! Fix the jumping just a little. 2.) Maybe chose a different font? In unity, you can just drag a .ttf into the Assets folder and put it into the Font variable of the Text component. 3.) There could be some variation in the gameplay. I didn't get to see the whole game, but still.
Keep up the good work!
Frustratingly good 😂
Thanks @dylanbr 👌. Any suggestions for improvements?
Easy mode for people like me! haha
@dylanbr Thank's for the feedback! I was actually going to try and implement a hard mode where all the tiles are sproingy like in the last level but i think an easy mode might be needed too 😂😂😂
Haha, very "just one more time" game. Love it :)
Wow, your game is actually quite fun! And the music is honestly great! You did a really good job considering it's your first game! Keep up the good work! :)
@procezz Thank you! @akaneiro I know 😂 I think i spent more time playing it than making it!
Probably the most enjoyable submission I played so far. Sound graphics and mechanics all on point. I love platformers and this made me think of geometry dash a lot. Going faster and slower kept it challenging and the auto restart made me want to try the game over and over again.
Thanks @dries-vuylsteke I appreciate the support. Though I hardly feel this is the most enjoyable submission, maybe the most enjoyable platformer. Haven't seen many of those in the submissions 😂😂😂
I think controlling the speed of the blocks is an interesting mechanic. I suck at playing runner games, though XD I'm glad to see you've been able to finish your first game in just two days :D
Thanks @esmouc Actually the moving blocks were a bug that i just kept! The screen was meant to move at a constant rate with the player moving within it like in Mario. However I like how it turned out better!
Very Delightful. The game's fun and controlling the speed is a great idea in a scroller like this. The theme was also played around in an interesting way. The music's also very cheery and works well with the character. Overall I really enjoyed this game
Thanks @lilkkgoog Glad you enjoyed it! Any suggestions?
A very neat little game, with a pretty creative take on the theme! While I am a fan of the music and cute little alien, the game is pretty unoriginal, and the overall execution isn't great. It feels you've taken this opportunity to make a super cool game and used it to make just another runner game.
It's a shame you think that @purrfexionator but I don't believe a game has to be original to be fun. If that were true there would only be one game per genre throughout the world!
Cute game, but deceptively difficult. At first, I enjoyed the music in its simplicity, but it does get rather repetitive after several times of dying quickly. It is especially difficult to hit several single width platforms in a row.
Good entry!
BTW, it would be better when posting a blog entry with a link if the link goes to this page rather than itch.io to make it very easy for people to give feedback as they are already at your page.
I enjoyed the game because it was so hard xD
Really fun, challenging and addictive! :) Well done mate! Good twist on a classic platformer mechanism, the audio and the mood was absolutely on point.
However, I think the game could have used a bit more variety, like tinting the blocks differently in each level or so. Anyway, I enjoyed playing through the whole adventure. :v:
Thanks @james-dunlap for the feed back. I was going to compose more music but of course there were time constraints. @guladam Thanks for the tip, @sunlark was the one in charge of art though so I'll feed that back to her! @taner ... Nice job finishing it, I've gotten the analytics of players progress and not many people made it to the end so a big well done to all the players who did!
@htmichael Dont get me wrong, I liked the game. I just felt it was kinda unoriginal. But overall, good job!
Funny game, still it is reaaaaally hard to control the jump. The music is on point and fits well. Congratz n.n
Great little game and somehow humorous! The innovation was cool and it's nice that you took the theme literally!
@bungalow thanks! Some other people followed it the same way but I haven't seen any platformers this time. Starnge 😁
Nice game guys!! :) It's very hard !
Very hard and very fun ^^
I think something went wrong with your game :( It's a shame, I really wanted to play

@foxserranu oh no! But by the looks of that background I don't think that is our game! The page should have an asteroid background with a green foreground. I don't know where that red came from. Could you please take a screen shot of the website you played it on?
The different speed controls are an interesting twist on a running platformer. I'm not too good at these kinds of games, though, so I never got too far in. Also, I like the look of the little alien's sprite.
Nice game, really challenging. I really like your controls, and you character is so cute!
I thought this game was cute! It was really challenging to get a hang of the jump timing because of its regularity, but I did appreciate the simplicity of the controls quite a bit.
If I could change anything it would be just playing with the idea of gravity in this context. Beeb feels very grounded for being out in space. Loved playing and the music! Thank you for posting!
Loved the music and art. Very challenging gameplay. Also, I thought the initial platforms were a bit too difficult.
@jka @nats @taner @hakro @esmouc @camcam @newtinn @guladam and anyone else I missed 😂. I've been getting alot of feedback about how challenging this game is but I found it to be quite easy actually. Does anyone know what makes it hard? Because I honestly don't have a clue 😀. Are you all remembering you can speed up and slow down? It isn't a speed run, you should be spending more time slow than fast!
@htmichael how do you slow down?
This is such a clever interpretation of the theme, and I love it! You run out of space, and it's as simple as that. So, I don't see any way this game couldn't fit the theme.
The graphics are pretty good, overall. I like the way the background was done and I think the tiles look especially nice. Also, I really like the character animation.
I like the music, it was well done and sounds upbeat, so good job in that regard!
I think the gameplay is very good. It's difficult enough that I can't just run through the whole level, but it's not too hard, either. It's a good balance, in my opinion.
I found the ending in this game rather amusing, so you actually did pretty decent with the humor aspect!
Overall, I think this is a really interesting and entertaining game!
@hunter-towe Thank you so much for your feedback! I'll make sure to tell every one involved! @sixbeeps The controls are on the itch.io page right?
Wow, tough as nails but not unfair. When I lost (which I did constantly) I didn't feel like the game was cheating me--I felt like I hadn't mastered the skill. Ultimately I stopped early because I wasn't willing to master the skill but that's no negative on your game.
Pretty Fun!, I played it for quite a while, lil beep is cute.
@netguy204 @driagonv Thank you both for the feed back! Perhaps a less steep difficulty curve is in order?
@htmichael Depends on your goal. I could also see doubling down on that difficulty and finding a way to make the small victories more sweet. Maybe shorten the levels and juice things up a bit. I think there's a definite place for tough-as-nails platformers.
@htmichael Argh, my bad, I completely missed the slow down/speed up controls somehow. It's still pretty hard, but doable! :grin:
Wayy to hard in my opinion.. Sorry :unamused:
@htmichael Those are new. When I played, there was no controls section.
@sixbeeps Really? That's strange, maybe you didn't scroll down the first time?
