It was pretty fun to play. I liked the music, it was relaxing.

Really enjoyed your game. I made it to level 10 before stopping. The music set the mood well, and I enjoyed the mix of the random tiles with the visible tiles. It gave the game a nice balance.

I enjoyed. Game is so calm and relaxing. There's plenty of time to think about next movement. I doubt that it is always possible to pass the level without retrying, but there's a chance :slight_smile:

Great job!

I think your WebGL isn't working, (it's blank for me) ._.

sebeee 2019-04-30 19:39

For your WebGL is was blank

Very relaxing music and good balancing by getting just a bit harder every level. Also really liked that rough texture with plain colors you used. Maybe the sounds could have been a bit less disruptive in order to keep the calm mood.

Lovely game, good job :)

I get these warnings on the WebGL version and it doesn't run, maybe it's just me. * Cool game, music is nice, and I liked the concept. * Sound effects are a bit harsh compared to the music, the text could use a more textured font. * teleporting should temporarily stop your motion as I often ran into adjacent blocks after teleporting. Congrats!

Appreciate the feed back and looking back at it, yeah the sound effects are a bit disrupting of the peace from the music, I should have noticed that, and @nitropictures, @sebeee and @kostasvs, I found the problem and fixed the WebGL.

Glad people like the game :)

Nice game idea, and graphics. :) The sound fx's are a bit in your face. Well done :D

At first it was not obvious to me that I have to reach the right side. I understood "you have to cross it" as in cross the tiles so I was trying to find out how to activate/cross a tile. :face_palm:

Once I got it, I reached some levels.

The sound is somewhat too high-pitched for my taste.

But all in all, nice entry for a compo.

I got to level 9. I really like this game because it's so simple but still fun! I got punished a couple of time when moving around and accidently touching edges. I think the controls could be improved by making the piece move in a locked grid instead of freely.

Nice job!

hutchings90 2019-05-03 19:01

Well done! It is nice and simple. I noticed that once my health passes 0, I can still move. I was still able to get to the end of the board before the game reset as a loss, and I think it counted it as a win and a loss, resetting the game twice.

datagreed 2019-05-03 19:12

Nice game. Got to level 7, I managed to somehow pass the level with zero or -3 health.

bentekiller 2019-05-03 20:20

Hi @datagreed and @hutchings90, thx for the feedback, I looked back at the code and as soon as the players health is equal or under 0 it will disable the players collider and will first be activated 2 seconds later when the game is reset. The health check is checked only when done dmg.

I don't immediately see any flaw in my code and have tried to Replicate the bug but I don't hear the level complete sound or see the lvl increase if my health is under 0 and I cross the goal.

Whether you win or lose the game will restart or go to the next lvl after 2 seconds and death and lvl complete have different sounds.

datagreed 2019-05-03 21:08

@bentekiller aah, that could be it - probably I've ended up on the same level but generated from scratch. I played with the sound on mute, so probably I did not notice :) Maybe it would be a great idea to show "Game over" screen :)

massealex 2019-05-03 23:28

I like the concept! Maybe snapping the character to the center of each tile when clicking on it would help because sometimes I couldn't click on the next tile because I was too far from the edge. Other than that, well done!

squirrei 2019-05-04 03:28

I really enjoyed playing that. More than almost all the other games I've played so far. Good job!

charu 2019-05-04 05:43

Pretty simple and fun! I sometimes do feel it becomes more random than calculation but it was fun none the less

candlesan 2019-05-06 01:51

Cool take on the theme. The core idea of trying to find an optimal route across the board is interesting. In a future version I'd love if the text was a bit bigger, I found it hard to read the green on blue. Good thing the sound effects help to reinforce me when somebody good or bad happened though! I wish there was some decision making regarding whether a ? was going to come up as good or bad.

giezi 2019-05-06 16:04

Simple game, but works well with the theme. Game reactions are a bit slow from time to time. Overall, good job!

dusho 2019-05-06 19:29

interesting.. it's like solving the A* in runtime.. pretty cool, was fun to play
