Thank you for playing my game~ Thanks!

The 'L' key is too far to reach, I think it would be better if you change the key binding to a more convenient one.

musxue 2019-05-11 08:09

@qazwsxedc121 Thank you for suggestions:) when I did it I only wanted 'L' means 'left', so...I 'll consider it the next time. Thanks

I'm a little confused. What's the goal of the game?

musxue 2019-05-11 12:28

@pengda First, thank you for playing my game. It's actually unshaped. I shall try to tell you my thoughts. The little pixel picture in the top left corner is derivatived from Degas's painting, which means "exchange". So your goal is to jump to touch it. Why should you do this? You can find, at first, you are put onto an exchange desk, and you can't decide whether to make this exchange. But later, you touch the exchange desk again while this time you can decide your own exchange(you can control your own life). This is what I want to express, but the final game...due to lack of time and my little game-making experience...... :)

以上几句看似扯得很好,其实真实情况是在考完专业课和写完两篇专业拓展课结课论文之后,我只剩八个小时来完成jam作品了,由于实在不想错过这次,于是就硬着头皮做了个游戏的框架,很多很多的想法都没有时间去实现和打磨了。而且是第一次真正独立做个游戏,经验不多,最后就。。。。。呀万分感谢您的玩。其实我觉着您应该不是有 a little confused, but a lot:)

I write the Chinese above cause I see your comments below your games include Chinese, so I think you can read it. If you can't, just ignore it. And thanks for your playing!

pengda 2019-05-11 15:55

额,pengda 这ID一看就是国人了……

其实我每次都没做完,你翻我前几次提交的游戏都只有2关卡……

你只要按时提交并且获得分数就超过了一半参赛的人,我个人建议多评价一些游戏让游戏获得成绩。

你要是有奶牛关、indinova这类游戏社区的账号,可以发出来我去关注

This was interesting! I liked the idea of having to build your own path. But it was too hard in my opinion :D The most shapes above each other that I reached was 4. Did you ever manage to get to the goal?

Like @qazwsxedc121 mentioned, better keybindings would have helped. Maybe something like WAD to jump and move and Q and E to place the shapes.

I enjoyed playing! Thanks :)

I enjoyed the main mechanic a lot ! Using these too slightly different shapes to climb your way to the top is a nice take on traditional platforming.

Pros : - Nice mechanic - Physics are fun to play with - Player behavior easy to forecast

Cons : - Really hard - The working of the physics is difficult to understand

All in all, great work !

The controls were pretty good, the music was INCREDIBLE, I just didn't understand what to do. There was also a lack of undo, reset, and home buttons, making the game really frustrating when you messed up. Also, the left building blocks were super frustrating with how they kept on spazzing out. Could use some more work, but it was pretty zen playing it.

musxue 2019-05-12 13:57

@pengda 啊谢谢你的建议,我会多玩的。我有indinova账号,不过几乎什么都没发过,于是就不抛了~不过我好像看到你的indinova账号了诶:)

musxue 2019-05-12 14:12

@recyx Thank you! Well, I did pass my game. But only once. Before I upload my game, I say to myself——Oh, it's a game the producer has only passed once...hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... maybe my player will get really angry

And thank you for your suggestions! I will try it.

musxue 2019-05-12 14:19

@jlv Thanks!

Due to some reasons, I didn't have much time to polish my game. When I play it today, I find it's not easy for player to know what he needs to do.┭┮﹏┭┮

By the way, what's the meaning of "Player behavior easy to forecast"?

musxue 2019-05-12 14:40

@jackson-makes-games Thank you for playing and suggestions! I will go head to make my first game better~

And I must tell you the music is Capriccio in B flat major, BWV 992. The performer is Papalin. I upload the game so timelessly that I forgot to give the URL linking to MUSOPEN. Thank you for your words, which remind me to add it.

jlv 2019-05-12 14:49

@musxue Just that the physics of the player are great : at my first jump in your game, I immediately knew how high and how long I could jump, and was never taken off by some weird in-air behavior while jumping (Little Big Planet is awful at this).

musxue 2019-05-12 16:05

@jlv Oh I know. Thanks~ Though there are still many problems in the physics. I'll make it better.^_^

webox 2019-05-12 18:05

Hey! It's an interesting game, of course it needs some polishing but I can imagen a game with that mechanic. Physics are a bit weird and it's tooo hard! haha. I'm not sure if you went for the theme (since it's in the categories to vote) but I colud'nt figure out what was your idea of it. Great job! keep polishing it!

musxue 2019-05-13 18:07

@webox Thank you! It does need much polishing(*^▽^*)

I shall try to tell you my idea. In the first scene——The little pixel picture in the top left corner is derivatived from Degas’s painting, which means “exchange”. So your goal in the second scene is to jump to touch it. Why should you do this? You can find, you are put onto an exchange desk in the first scene, and you can’t decide whether to make this exchange. But later, you touch the exchange desk again while this time you can decide your own exchange(you can control your own life). This is what I want to express, but the final game…due to lack of time and my little game-making experience……┻┳|・ω・)

I will keep polishing my first game! Thank you for playing ito(* ̄︶ ̄*)o

conk 2019-05-13 21:13

Hey, I'm a special coin! Although, I cheated... was that the point? I hope so!

I oddly had fun playing that, even though I spent most of my time trying to figure out what to do. Surfing on wobbly platforms or dropping them down steps was what I mostly did. I'd play that again.

Anyway, great job! :grin: Sorry you couldn't finish the game, I feel your pain!

musxue 2019-05-14 03:35

@conk Thank you for playing! It has many problems now. I will keep polishing it.

pcmaster 2019-05-15 13:46

Hi! I really tried, but I couldn't reach the top-left corner. Anything I spawned to the left (with Q) was unstable. But things I spawned to the right (E) were a bit better to climb on. So I'm very sad to not reach the goal and see what happens :(

clutterarranger 2019-05-15 18:56

My experience was the same with pcmaster. I wanted to solve it somehow but couldn't and the game does not auto restart so it got frustrating. I liked the mechanic idea but physics were problematic.

musxue 2019-05-16 02:30

@pcmaster hhhhhhhdon't be sad or upset. I make the left shapes unstable on purpose:) And put the goal in the top left while the character in the bottom right to make it difficult to reach^_^ cause it's my first game, so I didn't know the appropriate difficulty... I'll keep polishing it and thanks for playing~

musxue 2019-05-16 02:35

@clutterarranger Yes, there are many problems in my game such as lacking the restart button and unclear goal and so on... I'll make it better. Thanks for liking the idea^_^

shunaky 2019-05-16 03:03

Cool game, feels a little weird on the start, but it's a cool game, Congrats ^^ (I think Now you are over 20 :D )

musxue 2019-05-16 04:29

@shunaky Thanks! Thank you for playing my gameo(* ̄︶ ̄*)o

pcmaster 2019-05-16 14:57

@musxue thanks for the explanation :)
