Great use of the theme! Very literal! Reminiscent of Baba is you. Keep it up!

Really enjoyed your use of the theme, love the work

Oh moy goooood. It was so good. Thank you. But there is a bug, when you fall and cant restart. I've finished 3 levels. I loved it. "NOTHING", "SOMETHING". So funny)

Cool game! Enjoyed it

coldsanwdich189 2019-10-09 02:34

@narrenarr I noticed quite a lot of bug before I publish the game, I am thinking of patching it out when I have my free time but I am not sure it will be allowed in the jam. I am still new to this game jam can someone confirm it for me?

Clever idea to use letters as platforming characters, this has a lot of potential and particularly a lot of narrative potential, if you create more complex scenarios you might achieve something really thoughtful

I really like this game it's a very clever use of the theme and I think with some more polish it could be even better, also to answer your early question the ludum dare rule's say that "Certain Bug Fixes are allowed. You can’t add new features, but if something broke or didn’t work correctly as you were finishing up, you can fix this after the deadline. You are asked to highlight the changes you make in your submission (a short change log). You probably wont get a 2nd chance with some players, but at least it wont be a problem for future players".

Nice one, I love the idea :)

2-odd-diodes 2019-10-11 14:29

I suck at puzzles but I had fun for how much I played! :)

dominas 2019-10-11 17:05

Cool idea. Understanding how to switch and to what switch will happen wasn't easy.

For me it accepts the space input for jumping only like 1 out of 100 times pressing it. I checked if something is wrong with my spacebar, but it's still working perfectly fine... I could not really play like that.. so If you find a fix to this please tag me

I actually laughed out loud. Really good game. It was really fun to play. But some music would have made the game even better!

hyperscope 2019-10-12 03:43

I think it is a bit rough around the edges but I appreciate how you took a common game genre and added your creative twist. You win the spirit of the jam:)

dock-frankenstein 2019-10-12 18:22

The controls aren't that great, but it's a very interesting idea.

daria-toni 2019-10-12 18:27

Haha, that's very original. The mechanics are very simple, but your use of theme is very clever. I'd just add some music :) Well done!

taddl 2019-10-13 19:42

Interesting idea, sadly with the current state of the controls its barely playable, I struggled past the first level then gave up.

@coldsanwdich189 If you check the rules under "Additional Notes for both the Jam and Compo" it says that bugfixes after the deadline are allowed, though you should highlight any changes you make in a changelog and should not introduce any new features.

I think in your case fixing the controls should be totally fine. It would definitely allow more people to play and experience your game.

suchista 2019-10-15 19:48

There are some interesting mechanics in the game. Interpretation of the theme is supreme, well played!

coldsanwdich189 2019-10-18 12:32

@velvetlobster Hi! Thank you for your feedback! I have made some fixes to the game but I am not very good at coming up with complex level so I am glad you like the potential of the game!

@fallingflatstudios @ausstein @hyperscope @franciszek-pyrc @taddl Hi! Thank you for your feedback! I have made a post jam fix for the game so that the game can fully reflect the ideas. I hope that you can tried it out now that the mechanics have improved along with a WebGL build!

@chuchugeralt @daria-toni Hi! Thank you for your feedback!I also added some music loop in the game now just to have some experience in adding audio in Unity

itsdanidre 2019-10-18 16:57

Okayyy. I spent wayyy too long on level 1 trying the ut-most. Was about rage quit like a sore loser because Nothing becomes Something and Start does nothing. Then I mistakenly pressed F while in positions and "Next Level" appeared.

Not gonna lie, I also thought it was a prototype of a game until I read the comments seeing that there are levels.

Suffice to say, I've now beaten all levels and I feel like a big brain champion! #never_give_up :sunglasses:

Really like how you use finally put use to that Start word lol.

The music is okay though, sucks that you left out that category :sweat_smile:

coldsanwdich189 2019-10-18 18:43

@itsdanidre I am sorry that you have a bad experience on the game but I am not quite clear what you meant. I am glad you beat all the level! Thank you for playing!
