The links are broken!
Now Check
I tried to play it, but its too broken:
- The scroll speed in the start menu is so slow, it takes a few minutes to scroll until you can hit the start button. Super annoying but easy to fix!
- the camera pans to the side at the start of the game and only reacts to mouse input in a specific spot on the top right corner
The few seconds I was able to play were pretty promising tho, I'd love to give it another try later, I hope you can fix the bugs. Won't rate it now. :)
Also kudos to you, I wasn't remotely able to do any of this at the age of 14, good job, keep going!!
It says the game is not uploaded yet :/
@theviraldragon check now
Hey, for me the link work, for the scrolling at the start i see that i can click and go up with my mouse it work too. I in begium so the querty was difficult so I tried with my xbox controller to move and just the keyboard to jump ^^ But the jump in high enough to jump above the barrier.
@kimynay this is a function to speed up the player but u are not able to leave the play area with jumping
Wow i have 3 messages of you :o screen box rush.png at this moment I can't continue
Can't click on any of the menu items except for Exit, so impossible to judge the gameplay. Liking the music and the visuals that I can see though!
@harry-damm this game only works on 1600 x 900 resolatuion
I like the mouse cursor :) The environment is chill, but same as @harry-damm I am unable to do enything else than Exit. Need to come later
@onnofal try to play on 1600 x 900 resolatution
Could the jump strength be frame-rate dependent? That would explain why some of us just can't jump high enough.
A little bit frustrating to have to double jump to get over the walls, but a fun game. Losing all of your coins has somewhat of a sonic feel
I don't see a link for downloading on the itch io page, am I just blind?
cool
@shp Now check
Not bad at all for your first try, congrats for finishing it!
nice little game but please increase the scroll speed it was sooooooooo slow
Game is made well.. But the most effort was put on game Menu and controls only i could rarely see any enemy in fact only in the starting of the game. i reached till the end of the game without even having any trouble. I was more interested to find something new in the game. Sounds is really good and matches with game. I liked the idea of how game relates with the theme but the only place i was disappointed was that there is not much in the game. I was enjoying in the games environment but not for a longer time. I also like the idea of using primitive gameobjects any ways good luck and have fun...
@jk-studio OKAY
It's a nice simple game. Try having less text to read to understand the game
@niteb i just try hard to make simple and short text
There was alot of text setup for how simple the game is. I kept hearing the sound of coins being picked up eventhough I wasn't picking them up myself. It was as loud as If I was doing it. If its the enemies picking them up, consider making the audio reflect this.
@youpeoples if i refelect this with enemy then sound is not able to hear because some times background music is loud
Sounds and looks quite cool! Nice to see other young developers like me.
Although, scroll speed is quite slow and i didn't quite get the idea as winning is very hard considering you have to collect ALL the coins and they reset if you touch an enemy.
@skalex I Like Hard Games ><
Like some others here, looks like I'm unable to jump high enough (or even at all) to get through the game. Also already stated, the introduction is a huge wall of text, try to trim it down a bit.
The game is good, I'm really impressed with how much you've accomplished. You've worked hard on this and it shows!
@liauj Thanks Press Space 3 times at a same time to jump high and second i am trimming the text.
Nice work, keep at it! I liked the concept of the red A.I. characters racing you to the coins! Looks like most critique has already been said by others: couldn't jump high enough, instructions too long. Overall a good job for being developed in under 48. Next game jam you might want to try a smaller scoped game to give more time for polish and bug fixing, perhaps this concept in 2D instead of 3D would have been quicker to implement.
@david-markham Thanks You. you can jump high by pressing jump button 3 times
The sound is horrible! and I do not like at all the controls especially of the camera.
@mimusangel so how i setup controls???
@mia-devs Setup a single jump and not put a jump of ants, especially on a runner, at the limit the double jump can be good to reach heights of pieces. The camera rotation on the forward axis is simply useless and counter intuitive ...
@mia-devs Ah! I see that now. Perhaps holding the jump button to jump higher instead of pressing 3 times would be more intuitive, or just have the default jump height be higher.
@david-markham ok let me update the game
That was some creepy music (but good)! It made it feel like I was in a horror movie! I had some issues with the jumping but overall, cool game.
@gettingrekt i am just fixing the jump issue
The text at the beginning felt too long, it would be great to have gameplay explained during the game instead of reading a long text. But the idea is cool and graphics were realy neat!
Very nice and moody music. Nice to hear that the jump will be fixed soon, but I actually enjoyed hammering the SPACE bar to levitate enough to get over the hurdles. Added an extra dimension to the game! Well done!
@cogcomp @gettingrekt @david-markham I updated the jump mechanism now check and tell that this is working good or not
@mia-devs New jump height makes it much more playable.
I was able to complete the game, and it was good. Some Feedback: -The introduction takes a long time to scroll through. -Jumping near a wall sometimes doesn't work. -The red blocks didn't do much after the first 10 seconds of the game, so I was just collecting coins.
Superjumps are possible if you jump right in front of a wall, but they're actually bad since they keep you off the floor longer than you usually want.
Overall, not bad, keep up the good work! I just jumped through the "Restart wall" at the end of the level.
The physics were a little weird, and the coins got generated inside walls sometimes therefore making them impossible to grab, and the thing scrolled waaay too slow. I like the idea, it fits with the theme, and nice effort!
No restarting after falling trought the wall, the music is perfect for a horror game, not fiting quite well this colorfull scenario. Nice efects on the coins and putting some behaviour to the enemies. Congratullations!
@twobythree i dont understand what u are saying
Well, you had a nice idea and it seems you've put some effort in that game. I wish I started my journey in your age.. :smile:
The concept itself is nice, but you definitely learn more :wink:
What I think could be improved: - UI - it took me some time to even start the game, idk why it was so - Camera - That was terrible, I had to fix it and don't touch my mouse in order not to make camera crazy. - Enemies - Besides running forward there was no challenge and those enemies weren't dangerous at at all
The music is fine, maybe it does not fit the game the best, but it's better than nothing :slight_smile:
You made an interesting game, and I hope you will keep on learning and making even better ones! :smiley:
@noobexception THANKS
I enjoyed the music and the visual effects :)
For the tutorial, there's way too much information and it could be summarized in just a couple lines. Also, the text scrolling is way too slow.
Overall, not bad
@flywolfe scrolling is much fast in my laptop however Thanks
@mia-devs It's probably a difference in scroll wheels/scroll settings. Adding a bar you can drag would probably help with that :) Still, Good job
@flywolfe i will update the game after 20 hours
So, the initial scroll down is very slow, but I could click and drag it all down, that's good. After a few seconds the enemies simply disappear and don't spawn again, and the wall that we are supposed to touch to restart, doesn't work for me, but I liked the idea, I will be waiting for the update to play it more
@iagorigel Thanks
but you need to touch the restart wall to restart the game
Nice Idea, not so good execution.
- The camera was a bit anoying, so I just kept it centered. + Main menu design was nice, although the buttons are a bit too far off the side - Some bugs: - Was not able to jump the first time I tried to play - I just fell of the map at the end + Music and sound were nice, although I would have liked to be able to change the volume. - The enemys were a bit to slow if you play right. Maybe make them faster if the player is far ahead of them or has a lot of coins already.
Keep it going!
@gaweringo as you go next more enemies will automatically spawn
Great game, few bugs apart from the fact the end wall doesn't work, but impressive for a lone 14 year old in 48 hours, I can see people playing this on mobile.
@drearyplane8 I will update game in under some time
I like the idea and loved the music, but there's quite a few small things that just don't quite make it fun for me.
I was able to get so far ahead that I never noticed anything, so it just became running around collecting coins after a while. The start was fun, but after I reached that point, it was a bit boring for me.
The end wall doesn't work and the scroll speed for the start needs to be sped up or skippable.
Those are my biggest complaints, but other than that I really enjoyed the start where I had to worry about enemies. With some work and bug fixes, I think this would be a great game! I hope you keep working on it.
@sefrz yes i will update in some under 2 hours
@sefrz i just updated the wall and also also add a scroll bar to solve text problem..
Jump button was broken for me :(. Also i managed to get up, but you put an invisible ceiling, good call ^^ Screen01.png
Absolutely loved the music. Couldn't get jumping to work right. (Is there a cooldown period or something on jumping?) Anyway, good job, very atmospheric game.
@attala Yes there is a mechanism that when you click on jump button jump will happen after some milliseconds
Great Buddy..I am addicted to it.
The music is great! The movement input needs works, it feels a little clucky.
Great job! Jumping was a bit laggy but otherwise it felt really fluid :D Like the simple aesthetics and the music. And I LOVED how cool the minimap looks!!
@gideon thankks
Good concept, but sometimes I'm unable to jump, I have to spam spacebar 10 times and hope one of them works.
Some of the coins where in walls, and the jump didnt seem to always work, but other then that fun game, good job, ill have a look at your youtube channel now :)
That's quite impressive for a 14yo gamedev, kudos! Did you compose the background music too or you used a generator ?
Sorry I can't use the play button so can't play but your menu is pretty nice
@miu ? which resulation pc u are using
@mia-devs resolution is 1024x768
@miu this game is only do best work on 1600 x 900
This game is quiet interesting, I felt a bit weird about the jump. It feels like you have to load it and it triggers on "space" release. I ended up keeping space pressed and release it when needed. In my opinion you should instead trigger the jump on "space" key pressed :) You could also make the coins hitbox a bit bigger, or spheric ! ;)
@roilbauk ok thanks for ur feed back i i will do this
Could be a fun game, but jumping didn't work all the time.
Very nice for a first game! Good idea, and I really liked the sound and the minimap :) Some notes: Jumping at KeyUp is a bit frustrating and unexpected, it should really be at KeyDown. Also, touching the walls somehow blocks the jump
But that was cool, good luck with further projects ;)
It's a little to buggy, but it's a good idea and super fun.
I can appreciate the effort that went into this. Some of the features like the mini-map are pretty cool, but I feel the game is lacking in the basics. The gameplay is not terribly engaging, and the controls definitely do not feel 100% right. Overall good effort!
A double jump could be a little better constructed, I often hit obstacles when I tried double jump.
Good job on finishing your first Compo! It's lovely to see younger people getting into GameDev.
I dont want to repeat everything said above, as I agree with the other guys. The minimap is a nice touch aswell.
If you have the time I would love to read about your development, what challenges you faced, what you prioritized etc.
Good work, music I enjoyed the music, but it seems like horror themed music to me, it doesnt fit the game. Despite being just boxes graphics were clean. I couldn't jump very high like many people here, and minimap looks good, the theme I think it could have been a more interesting idea than this. Also I appreciate the fact you rated over 70 games, very few people take the time to give so much feedback. Thank you.
@digitaldude555 Wellcome
Heyho, i just tried the game. As soon as i managed how to jump (double jump) i got really far ahead of these red boxes. So i kinda missed a challenge in the game.
All in all a good start for your first jam! Keep up the work!
@nerzal Thanks
Hey ! the game is pretty nice but i can't double jump to finish the game ...
So I just finished a run, and I there are many things I'd like to say!
- Too many rules at the beginning, I did not read everything, I expect from a game to have one or two rules, then to be intuitive or explain the controls one by one, taking some time between two - The jump is hard to get used to and the gravity felt really low, which is strange for a "rush", I'd have prefer a more punchy jump and landing ! - The coins colliders should be spherical, while you're going further in the level it's hard to predict the coins rotation to pick them up, and since they are rotating, a sphere collider is more than legit - I didn't see any enemy ? At start I saw some of them but quickly I was just alone picking up coins ? - So I picked up coins for 3-4 minutes then I reached the wall, and back to main menu like nothing happened :/
Overall I think that, like this, the game isn't fun at all. However, simply by changing the pace of it, the jump, add some VFX and feedbacks, it can be a pretty cool fast paced game, with some more levels of different colors or something like this to avoid the repetition feeling! You should keep on working on it :)
Not bad, sometimes it's a bit difficult to double jump. There were several occurrences when I try to double jump over a wall but I would stick to it and have to go back from the wall and try double jumping again. Nice work!
Really sorry for the interupt, but i can't download your game. Do you have another way to try your game?
Can't play the game, i click the play button and nothing happens
The mini-map is so cute! I like the general mood of the also. I didn't read the wall of text at the begining so I wasn't sure I missed something but it was still easy to pick up and play. Well made, congrats!
Where is the source code?
Pretty fun little game, although the jumping is kinda buggy for me. Only seems to jump about 1/5 of the times I press the button. Otherwise, great job!
Fun Game. I really like the music. The jumping is a bit odd, but otherwise, it's really fun. Good Job!
