I really like the music and the gameplay is great functionally. However, I don't know if it was a bug or what but jumping between platforms tends to be a bit buggy. Sometimes it will just kill me as I try to cross the gap. Still a decent game though!

The game is addictive and really fun, with some improvements in the graphics would be a big game. Keep working on it and good luck! :)

yaniv 2018-08-14 22:38

@rytannic Thank you!!! You can jump only missing one surface

megalink 2018-08-14 22:48

This is a simple and fun game! The concept is very good, but unfortunately the bugs and lack of polish alluded to only a decent execution. Music is pretty great, and the art is simplistic but effective. Good work! :)

Music was good, and I really like the idea. It works with the theme really well!

Really liked the music, reminded me of old Nitrome games. The ideas is great and fits the theme very well! One of the best games I played this LD so far. There are a few bugs that might ruin player's experience like lines not disappearing after you use ability or enemies randomly removing a block somewhere on the corner

This game was so addictive ! It reminds me a game where you should expand your territory drawing lines and some birds were bouncing on the field and if they touched the line your were drawing before you being able to get back to the border, you would loose.

Anyway, great entry, only missing the sound effects ! I first thought that I would hate the music but it totally fits to the game !

Congratulations ! I enjoyed it a lot. Don't know if it is a good score but here is my best one...

Nice game, it reminds me of the old dos game Volfied, but actually reversed, nice gameplay idea and fitting to the theme

Great little game, some small bugs: - when oponent 'marks' edge of level - you cannot stop him - you cannot jump on diagonals :( - sometimes enemies don't clear whole strip but leave some tiles

What i really liked: - easy to understand concept - well designed keyboard input (except when i had to klick with mouse "Try again" - this should be done with "x" or "space") - well designed opponents when they stoped and wait a little bit to let you know that they will attack

I really enjoy it, and it is really addicting!

Very nice game)

goudagames 2018-08-15 22:37

Simple and fun game, some smaller annoyances though, mostly things mentioned by other. Having the user switch to mouse to try again is not that great, maybe a key such as X or Z should be bound to this, as @bartosz said. I really like how enemies seem to be faking attacks sometimes, stopping as if they're going to attack and then don't. Really adds some tension to the game.

The music is great as well. Over all a very good game.

meatpudding 2018-08-16 00:22

It's a good idea but I found it really difficult. I'm not sure if it's just because I wansn't sure how the moves worked.

joh 2018-08-16 03:17

Good idea, great game, quite addictive, but really hard. I think the controls were a bit off, for something so "tight", but was still fun to me. The click to restart, is not a good idea, especially with how much retries are needed.

Fun stuff.

yaniv 2018-08-16 04:41

Thank you all I am happy for the comments thank you very much

jjcp 2018-08-16 12:08

Really fun game! I'd like the guy to move a bit faster though :D.

yaniv 2018-08-16 12:49

@jjcp Hey I'm glad you liked the game You can jump to go faster Try it =)

noah-beckman 2018-08-16 13:25

Great Job! Had a lot of fun with this game!

noah-beckman 2018-08-16 13:25

Great Job! Had a lot of fun with this game!

nam-nguyen 2018-08-16 13:34

Omg its such a fun game, a really cool take on the theme. This reminds me of the game where you make cuts on an arena to separate balls, and this is sort of the inverse version of that. Im totally in love. Great work, I love the music too!!

thegunmaster 2018-08-16 21:44

Oh, nice idea, needing to balance the collecting stuff and protecting the land.

luca1152 2018-08-16 23:41

Interesting concept there, mate! :)

At first I didn't really understand what the energy capsule did (sorry, I do not really read descriptions :) ). At fist I thought it did nothing. When I took it I heard nothing and saw nothing change (well, something changed: the text in the top left, but I did not see it). So a nice thing would have been some feedback (the same is for when you cut into the lines, even though I see the line disappeared, some audio feedback can't do any bad), such as a sound or (/and) the text scaling up and down, and changing to a color and back. Anyways, this is a pretty small thing to an otherwise good game. Great job!

baconinvader 2018-08-17 23:05

Simple concept but really well done! It actually gets pretty complex later on when you have to factor in multiple jumps and tracking enemies, certainly kept me on my toes. I did find the jumping to be a little buggy and unfair however. Aside from that, great game!

2018-08-17 23:23

Good game, I just wish it had less clunky controls.

coomzy 2018-08-18 10:39

Nice little game, here is some feedback

The good: - Pretty innovative, normally the space shrinking kind of games are pretty unoriginal but something about this makes it feels different good job. - It was pretty intense trying to survive, it was fun.

The bad: - The controls, IDK how this is for non-qwerty keyboards but Z/X are really close together I just find it difficult to use them well. - Your game over screen really should have had a key to restart as well, if you think about your control scheme from game to that screen you're moving your hands off the keyboard and onto the mouse to restart.

The ugly: - My Score, I didn't get any points, I thought it was bugged for a while and was just collecting the green things, energy is my high score ;)

brandon-napky 2018-08-19 07:36

Nice concept, I think the jump is a bit overpowered, just add it a bit of cooldown. Please rate us back <3

barrier 2018-08-19 10:32

I think this is a very promising concept! It's already fun but if you improved controls and handling of the player, this could be a really good game. And don't make the jump worse, its basically like a speed boost that makes the whole thing more into an action game :)

jared-york 2018-08-19 23:19

I like the game overall. One suggestion would be to add a sound for collecting the energy capsules, but other than that great job!

simplepotential 2018-08-19 23:28

I really sucked at this game but I liked it all the same. Nice job

gamepopper 2018-08-20 12:58

Great music choice, good concept. You could do with some more animations and sound effects, like when your character dashes and hit the energy beam or jumps or gets killed.

diwo 2018-08-20 14:47

cool but hard lol

kiirohanabi 2018-08-20 17:04

I like the concept, but it is a bit rough. Randomness creates unbalanced plays from a death to another, and robots can start cutting the level at the same time, leaving you no choice but kill only one of them. I get why you chose Z and X, but I think it would have been better with Space to jump and something like E or L-Shift to use the special ability, as it would have left WASD to move too (and I have an AZERTY keybord so my Z and my W are switched).

But as I said, the concept is original, so if you wanna work more on this game post-jam, I'm sure it could turned really good! At the moment it needs balance and polishing but that a quite common thing to say for a game jam, it's okay! :D

mowztouch 2018-08-22 13:53

Hey! Idea is good, but about 1 time out of 4 collision is missed and i can't cut the enemy line. Anyway, well done :)

draeskai 2018-08-22 22:31

Nice entry, even if it's quite hard ^^ Good work!

lu7cie 2018-09-04 10:17

The graphics and the audio are cool ! The idea is simple to understand and the game is easy to play (maybe our character is a bit slow). The theme is respected and it's a good balance between the time left and the space left. Great job !
