EDIT: Still in time, but i changed WAV music to OGG since it was huge :sweat_smile:

Was a bit bare bones and not very challenging, if you could make the monsters more responsive it would be a lot more fun.

Cute art style! Music was GRAND! I am jealous your music composing skills...

hubol 2019-04-30 02:49

I can only hear audio... The game screen is black. Do I need something to run it in my browser?

Nice little platformer! The music is nice, and I loved how the jumps change pitch randomly. There're a few bugs (you can't double jump some times, and you can fall the platform in the second level) but overall it looks nice.

@hubol it should be webgl 1.0 Anyway, on the itch links there are also files for the builds of each OS below the page.

kmazzio 2019-04-30 02:54

Music sounds great! I liked the character art as well

vinegarlove 2019-04-30 02:56

@hubol I'm not sure actually what is causing that. It seems that sometimes it doesn't work, even for me. Download the native build i guess.

vinegarlove 2019-04-30 03:04

EDIT: Put a warning on the HTML5 Build that seems to have problem with some browsers.

Couldn't play :/ I hear music but it's just a black screen

sylvie 2019-04-30 21:38

Cute music and sound effects!

vinegarlove 2019-04-30 21:43

@norris-eldridge Try the native builds below the ITCH page, or use firefox. Refreshing the page seems to work sometimes. It seems to be an issue with the engine.

inferture 2019-04-30 21:45

Te music and the particule effects were good and well used !

alphabetasoup 2019-04-30 21:46

I really like the music and sound effects. This game was one of the chillest games I've played in this jam :)

arqcenick 2019-04-30 22:41

While it's incomplete, I like the metroidvania nature of it. Maybe increase the amount of upgrades? Also the animations can use an upgrade. Nice work!

amerigo-gazaway 2019-05-01 06:05

Nice Job! Really enjoyed the music/sound design and overall mood.

pixscope 2019-05-01 20:58

Nice work !

twan-mul 2019-05-01 20:59

I only saw a black screen, the music sounds super good though, I just let it run in the bg for a while. Let me know if the game will be fixed. The music makes me want more!

fonserbc 2019-05-01 21:02

Hey! I loved the jump sounds!

vinegarlove 2019-05-01 21:13

@twan-mul Download the native build, link is below the itch.io page :)

toasterbath 2019-05-02 23:31

The music and art were soo good! I wish there were more levels/monsters though, and on the yellow level I couldn't seem to find an ending, but that might just be me being dumb (^v^; ) Great art as well !!

vinegarlove 2019-05-02 23:49

@toasterbath Ah no worries, it's just unfinished. You have to take the double jump and stay on the higher ground. If you go down there's no way back up. (I rushed the last hour sadly :) ). The only things that are written in the end are "Thanks for playing, we'll be trying harder next year" :slight_smile:

silkworm-sweatshop 2019-05-03 00:26

Gameplay is pretty barebone but I really like the music and the jump sound being integrated into it. It took me a while before I realized it was a sound effect and not part of the music track which was pretty cool.

duke 2019-05-03 18:21

Intriguing entry! The art and the audio really pulled me in. I love the jumping sound and how good it fits to the musical score. The rest of the mechanics were a bit too basic for my taste. Also, the fighting system felt very unsatisfying. The double jump felt rather unresponsive at first, but I got the hang of it after some tries. When working with pixal art, I like it more when the pixels are clean and on a real pixel grid, that might just be my taste.

All in all a nice first concept that could be built upon. Keep up the good work!

kaisean-games 2019-05-05 22:22

Too bad it's unfinished. Could've been real nice entry.

The double jump is somewhat buggy. I couldn't consistently jump twice in a row with the same delay between jumps. Every time seems different.

Also, the sword does not seem to be necessary.

So all in all, the game has potential, but it obviously needs to get finished :smile:

But yeah, time constraints on LD, what can you do :shrug:

tamail 2019-05-11 21:22

I loved this game, it has so much potential if it get finished! You promised slime, music and portals - and you delivered I liked the character design a lot, the little swings with sword were really cute! At the second level of browser version, I jumped somewhere and... well, I got stuck in gray background, i could run around sometimes but I couldn't restart the game in any way. But otherwise, great experience!

hunttis 2019-05-20 19:34

I like the art, but the controls are a bit jerky. I liked the music and the general idea. I also had the unfortunate fate of taking the leap of faith, only to fall in a bottomless pit. Dying would've been merciful here :D

zoneoutapps 2019-05-21 03:30

Really cool...loved the smooth movements and great sounds (and soundtrack!)

pablotitan 2019-05-21 10:57

It didn't worked for me on web, even after reloading few times, but then I tried Windows version and it turned out to be a nice game with really great music ;) It needs to be finished, so it can be a neat game ;) The controls were weird for me at the beginning, I didn't feel the game, but then I get used to it. The character is intriguing, so you could make it an advantage, add animations and some moody story :D

pequenodev 2019-05-21 15:24

Loved the colors you choose and its minimalism. Great job!

Windows build is OK but WebGl version didnt work for me ):

I can't believe that you come up with the music for this game yourself, it's actually not bad at all. Are you planning to upload it on some streaming services? I think you should give it a try. I think it's possible to find on some services like [Mp3 Juice](https://mp3juice.tel), but I think it would be better if you'd get money for this music accompaniment as well, so you should at least consider it, I believe it'll be worth it.
