love the music and art, but one problem, the characters fall too fast due to high fps rate i guess, cant even pass the first level

not-fall-ark 2019-04-28 21:58

yep just verified, works fine if i put it on my 60hz screen

thetatautau 2019-04-28 22:28

Thank you. I will fix this bug tomorrow, I think I just need to use fixedupdate instead of update.

thetatautau 2019-04-29 07:04

It should be fixed now. However couldn't test it as my screens can't go higher than 60hz.

Haven't tried it yet... love the aestetichs... or how it's spelled ;)

pwroff 2019-04-29 11:23

really great music and very impressive graphics.

purpledartfrog 2019-04-29 11:24

A bit difficult - but love the entry - nice job :thumbsup_tone1:

Hey, that's really neat concept for a puzzle platformer! It would need a little bit better control, namely jumping is a little clumsy. Other than that it's great, I like also the visual style, the music is fitting. Great entry man!

fm-studio 2019-04-29 11:56

Wonderful and impressive game. I loved the art and the music. I just found the controls are a bit hard

thetatautau 2019-04-29 12:01

Thanks for your comments.

Yep, the controls are not the best. I am not use to platformer so I had to improvise the physics.

The difficulty was hard to judge as I was the only one to test it, I hope most people can pass throught levels 1 and 2. Level 3 and 4 difficulty depends of how well you know the level, they are probably too difficult.

@crosenlund79 : English is not my native language, can you tell me what were the spelling mistakes you saw?

purpledartfrog 2019-04-29 12:05

@thetatautau - it was me that had trouble spelling ... this word as was unsure of: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=aesthetic

So no spelling mistakes from you ;)

Super cute game! The art style is great and the puzzels are realy interesting but the jumping is not great as others has pointed out. You fall way to fast in my opinion. Otherwise a great entry!

gao-ming 2019-04-30 14:48

Great effects!Good job!It's very fun to play.

teo989 2019-05-01 12:23

Hey, I really enjoy the artstyle but the character jumps only one out of five times I press the jump button. The audio was also really pleasing. And the idea of switching the mortality of a character is awesome!!!:v: Good job :)

thetatautau 2019-05-01 16:27

@teo989 @erik-brunnstrom @gao-ming @purpledartfrog @jiri-hysek @fm-studio @pwroff @not-fall-ark : The character was not jumping due to the way his "grounded" status was checked. I fixed this bug and modified a bit the colliders of some platforms that were too thin like the thorns in level 1. The controller is still far from perfect but it should feels better than before.

teo989 2019-05-01 16:41

@thetatautau Thank you and good job :smile:

dimoon-ly 2019-05-01 20:20

I love the theme and thanks for the nice game, which is really impressive.

flashviper 2019-05-01 23:27

The concept for this game was impressive! Some of the timing between platforms was a little tough, but other than that, I loved this game!

nathaniel-jensen 2019-05-01 23:29

Fantastic!

tommyflower 2019-05-02 11:55

What a cool concept! How hard it should be to design it properly! The eerie music is perfect and I loved the moving plants. The design is essential but effective. Beautiful game!

nikipedia 2019-05-02 14:04

Great and simple concept and twisting my mind that it hurts ;) the music might be a bit repetitive but it fits the mood very well

divan 2019-05-02 15:09

Very nice art! Great work!

yorsh 2019-05-02 15:11

Looks like the jump physic depends on the framerate, so I can't jump high enough (or I can't control the jump as much as I should) to reach the platform on the right with the dead one. Looks and sounds great tho.

thetatautau 2019-05-02 16:25

@yorsh The jump physic used to depends on framerate but it should not be the case anymore. But it's true that this jump is too difficult, if you jump too soon the caracter bump her head in the top platfrom and if you jump too late you fall.

I would totaly change this level if it was'nt against the rules of LD.

The other levels should not be as problematics as they don't require precise jumps (except level 4).

thetatautau 2019-05-02 16:31

Also I just realized that you jump higher when moving whereas I didn't intentionally coded it.

black-flag 2019-05-02 20:50

I really liked the art style as well as the gameplay! Overall, a really good jam entry!

quasar47 2019-05-02 20:57

Nice job. I love the music and the art style you chose for this game. A bit too challenging for my taste (I'm not really a puzzle platformer guy ^^), but it's a pretty solid experience ;)

grllle 2019-05-02 21:06

Really good job on the art side, especially with the collisions with the environment. The idea is really interesting! I think it would be worth investing some time into refining the jump mechanics! Keep going!

lesconneriesdered 2019-05-03 09:47

I really liked the art direction, mastered brilliantly and a very well designed level design :) The story of the game is interesting, for a compo it is very polish. Congratulations

miu 2019-05-06 00:50

wow puzzle are hard but I definitely play it entirely if I had time

not-fall-ark 2019-05-06 02:08

@thetatautau good enough

not-fall-ark 2019-05-06 02:10

@thetatautau finished it before my first feedback btw, level 1 is the only level that may cause some trouble to certain machines.
