Funny little entry :)
Game looks so dope, I love this type of art-style, it reminds me baldi's basics and it's really interesing. Music suits it graphics perfectly. Gameplay is good too, but controls are too smooth (I don't know how to describe it). Anyway, so good entry. I loved it!
I don't know why I love this art style so much, it really just fits the arcade feel of the game! Good job on that. The controls feel slightly wonky, but other than that it's great! (It's probably jsut the web player since it's so slow.)
Good job my guy, the only complaint I have is the death sound, it messed up my ears :D
Thanks for the kind comments, I'm no artist or 3D modeller so Paint 3D comes to the rescue!
@danidev Fixed the sound balance while building the Windows and Mac versions :)
@borys Know what you mean about the controls, I removed the smoothing on the input axis to fix a bug where the Reaper doesn't turn to face the direction he's going. In the end something else broke that so he still doesn't turn....meh.
Very cool game! The gameplay is good and I like the music too.
I really enjoyed this little game. It has a charming art style that's very unique and a great soundtrack that adds to the whole aesthetic nicely. My one complaint would be that the controls were very floaty and hard to control, and I was left feeling a little frustrated on more than one occasion after drifting into an enemy while trying to land on a lower platform. Having said that, I've given this multiple attempts and I still had fun with it. It's a nice combination between pac-man and a 2d platformer, and there's certainly a fun game in there with just a little bit more refinement on the movement. I hope you continue to develop games and come back for future jams, you've done really well on this one.
Fun game... took a while to get used to the physics and the height of the jumps - makes it quite difficult to dodge the enemies, but that's a good thing. Music was really cool too. ;)
Fun game, nice work. I made it to Round 3. The floaty controls can be a bit frustrating, when I'm still moving upwards from a jump and I wish I wasn't about to hit that golden ball thingie.
Also! After I use the powerup and collect the enemies as coins, when new enemies spawn, they should flash for a second and not kill me. It's very annoying when I instantly die, the very frame a new enemy has spawned where I'm standing. That happened to me twice.
@trevor-shoe Yeah, I ran out of time to implement the invincibility period after enemies re-spawn.
When you're floating upwards, you just need to hit jump again and you'll start to float back down....by pressing again you can slow your fall either to avoid enemies, or by pressing repeatedly float almost horizontally.
The game is nice and has potential! Good job! :)
The movement in this game feels really clean, which is very hard to get right and I see a lot of other game jam games failing with this. My only remark on the movement is that my double-jump felt almost existent but not quite? I could almost cancel my vertical velocity with it. I think I would've liked if it didn't affect my double jump or gave me a proper double jump, since now I'm not sure if it was intended or not.
Overall fun game! Music was great as well!
The old good Bomberjack :) Ah, the memories!
Really fun game. It got quite difficult fast so it probably could have been tuned a little better, the jumping was a bit weird, but it did make it fun and challenging to play. The graphics were charming, and I liked the retro music and sound effects.
Very cool and fun game! I like the music a lot and the graphics were very nice! Gameplay reminds me of some good old games :)
Wow this was really fun. I like how it kept my high score from game to game, I kept playing to try and beat it!
This is a cute game. I like the sound effects.
This game is just plain fun. And there are some really interesting design decisions here too. Being able to jump the entire screen is really cool and makes dodging enemies more the focus. I also like that you can immediately come back down by pressing space in the air. I may start using that mechanic myself.
