BOI, those are some FLOATY controls. You shouldn't use unity physics for jumping and walking. But you probably had a good reason to do so. Besides that it is a great entry. The graphics are fine, the concept is nice and the game is actually fun. You did good on your first compo. I can't wait to see, what you are doing next.

Good job for your first compo. I had some trouble with the physics behavior of the character, jump speed could be increased i think ?

Well done. Fun to play, but too hard for me. Damn that lava!

So bloody close, rage game!

Nice job!

bit difficult, but fun!

@j0ye Since it is an upwards platformer and needs a punishing downfall, I thought it is the best to use a Rigidbody2D, so I controlled the rest of the movement with it aswell. I didn't put enough time into it, other than limiting maximum speed and height, though. Thank you for playing and giving me feedback!

sebastien-bourgeois Thank you! You are definitely right, I didn’t focus enough on making the controls enjoyable. Next time I’ll focus more on playtesting inbetween to notice whacky controls faster. :)

anna-karpova, donitz, hypp I kinda enjoy giving the players a hard time by making the game difficult. However I couldn’t do it exactly as I wanted, since Level design is pretty time consuming as a Compo Beginner. Thanks alot for your feedback!

Good first entry!

I like how the music increases in tempo with the lava speed. I gave it a few shots, but I got dropped super far down after stepping onto a fake platform. Nice job on the first compo entry.

Great game hard to complete and annoying controls but you did a good job nice work.

Good job for your first compo. Good music. Smooth animations. Would love to see the acceleration/decceleration on the controls reduced a bit, so the controls feel snappier. The lava really starts to move FAST later on!!!

The graphics are good, as the idea. The controls are very hard to adjust too

As others have pointed out: nice graphics, music and concept, but kind of hard controls. Congratulations!

Good atmosphere. I agree with the others about the difficulty of the controls.

samgus 2019-05-14 22:29 ♥ 2

Great game, nice graphics, only controls are too hard, and no music on my comp.

jabujabu 2019-05-16 18:49 ♥ 2

Solid compo entry ;) Controls way too smooth though. Amazing space-click animation though, cracked me up! Nice job!
