Amazing game, probably the best ld42 game I've seen so far! Everything from the visuals to the audio is so polished, and as soon as I saw the idea, I knew I had to play it. I actually did a similar concept but in a completely different direction. That being said, it was sometimes annoying getting stuck when it felt like I shouldn't have, so if it's possible to make the trail not solid for a little bit longer, that seems like it would help a lot (Or if the trail solidifies only when you exited a certain radius of it, make that radius slightly bigger. It might also work to make the trails not solid from below, or if you have upwards velocity.) The biggest issue I found though, was that if you jump straight up, you can skip many of the challenges. I'm not positive that this is unintentional, but it seems to make some levels trivial. I'm not sure how to fix this issue, but I think it's worth considering. Again though, excellent job!
Interesting twist on the theme, with more elements introduced besies kill zones would be even more fun to play. Graphics feel simple, with over-the-top effects, where enjoyable audio got its positive kick. Wish that there were more levels!
Nice concept, but really hard at times, I had to quit on a lvl where the spot where you start is so narrow and like 80% of the bottom floor is red! But it was really fun and you could finish a lvl in so many ways, but it would be nice if you could tell which of your trail is solid, and the trail doesn't always look to good, maybe being a sphere would work better? The glow is cool but maybe a bit to much for my taste, but I also tend to go crazy with effects sometime in demo's. A great different entry my man!
Awesome game with beautiful graphics and comfortable audio.The idea of walking on your trail is really cool.Using this feature to reach the checkpoint is enjoyable.But sometimes I can't figure out where I am because the color of the trail is the same as the little cube.Maybe you can change the color of the cube into a deeper one so it's much easier to distinguish the cube and the trail.I love the idea,and well done!!
Love the music and atmosphere! Very cool puzzle mechanic as well. My only problem was the movement controls felt very slippery, which made it hard to control when walking on your trail, but that might have been intended. Either way, good job! :smile:
Very nice game! It's a very smart take at the theme. Good job!
Great entry, shout out to the composer - really liked how the theme developed throughout the levels of the game, having the sound effects match the harmony is a great idea and adds to the immersion of the experience. Loved the minimal aesthetic of the game and that overall everything was very consistent and well polished. And the gameplay is fun as well - excellent job, guys! One minor 'bug' that I encountered was that if I would press the space bar just before dying, it would sort of 'carry' into the next level and I would start the replay by jumping up immediately. That didn't effect my experience too much, just thought you might want to know that.
Amazing job 10/10
Very impressive entry! The mechanic and overall level design seem to be well thought out and the graphics + audio created a very cool mood. The increase of difficulty in each level was done quite nicely, too. Had a lot of fun playing it. Great work!
I wish I could play this but I only have a chromebook at work :(
This is awesome! The graphics are simple yet stylish, the audio is amazing, and the game is a blast to play! Great use of the theme. I also enjoyed the level design. I'd like if the trail color was slightly different from the player to be able distinguish when things are getting crowded. This is a stand out game of the jam imo!
Interesting concept, a simple nice game.
U forgot an "exit game" option! :P
Brilliant. Fantastic aesthetic, great game feel. Perfect example of delivering a mechanic and demonstrating its potential. You managed to make an impressive number of levels to boot. I'm super impressed. This is probably my favourite LD42 entry so far.
Amazing game! I like the innovative game mechanic, stylish art and the musik fits perfectly.
