I could totaly play this game for hours. Love it ! Simple and addictive. Nice job

nachtwitch 2019-10-08 21:49

A don't like platformers at all, but you and a few others made games that are so cool even I took notice, add some graphics and animation, and I'm in for paying cash

croewens 2019-10-08 22:16

@ferdi Thanks Ferdi! @nachtwitch Hard hitting words. I appreciate ya :pray:

Nice platformer! Starting out of the gate with one or two shorter levels (but still levels with saws/other hazards) would have been nice, that way players can acclimate to the game's physics while still making some incremental progress/changing up the scenery. EDIT: Also introducing the wall jump in a safer space, if I hadn't seen you do it in the clip I wouldn't have thought I could wall jump far enough to clear that gap after the first several times I failed.

idontknow 2019-10-08 22:34

Game stops after clearing the second level, although the leven select screen shows four.

kroltan 2019-10-08 22:36

Really liked the mechanics! The wall jumping is very satisfying.

Nice interpretation on the theme, too!

saltfactory-studio 2019-10-08 22:37

I'm digging the physics-based movement of the player with the ability to accelerate and decelerate extremely quickly. It reminds me a lot of Happy Wheels, which I spent hours playing way back when it was popular. The beginning menu also looks great and really well done. Add some more sound and visual effects and you got yourself a really fun game.

seabird 2019-10-08 22:40

Simple, but very fun game. Some more particle effects, lighting, sound fx that would make it more visually exciting and appealing would help.

I'm not a fan of really bouncy movement in a platformer, so this was a bit frustrating for me to play, but I can appreciate the effort that goes into making a game truly from scratch. I liked the simple visuals, especially when dying, and I noticed that the triangle spikes seemed to change each runthrough so that's a neat detail. Not bad, just not my cup of tea.

drixide 2019-10-09 06:05

Simple but pretty fun (and hard!). Good job!

fictions 2019-10-09 06:09

It's unforgiving like Super Meat Boy xD I like it... For the jumping I wish that the downwards velocity of the jump would be a little bit higher, so it doesn't float that long :)

artzibal 2019-10-09 08:00

Fun game. I love the wall jumping! Good job :)

happysnake 2019-10-09 12:45

So difficult!!!!!

jamioflan 2019-10-09 12:49

So bouncy! It's fun, but it felt hard to control sometimes when I was bouncing around off all the surfaces

demuss 2019-10-09 12:50

Controls feels like from Super Meat Boy and i can't control our ball perhaps because i am too used to Celeste controls, estetics are nice, HitBoxes of saw or overall our character could be a bit more forgiving because sometimes it feels unfair when it looks like we are just dying in the air... also Wall-Jumps are done well, overall nice platformer : )

gargoyle-g 2019-10-09 13:16

The game doesn't seem to work for me.

Every time I start in the first level and press left or right, the ball just continues to go in that direction, no matter what other buttons I press, jumping only works at the very start but not after I begin moving. After I fall and the Level resets, it the ball moves left/right again without pressing anything. The reset button also doesn't work.

davekingcool 2019-10-09 19:42

wonderfully difficult game. i'd be lying if i said i didnt rage quit on level 3. i couldn't take the stress :thumbsup:

aurailus 2019-10-09 19:46

Very cool! I actually like the super minimalist art style, really lets you focus on the game. The controls were a little too floaty for me, but a lot of fun!

purpoappo 2019-10-10 19:48

Graphics are nice and simple. Player movement felt nice, and levels were pretty challenging, great game!

alphaden 2019-10-12 12:24

Great game. Simple and neat. But i dont know how it fits the theme. But we could spend hours playing it. Nice work

sillyman987 2019-10-12 12:26

GREAT GAME!

alexfsmirnov 2019-10-12 12:32

The player movement was a bit too slow for me, but overall it's a nice game :) A bit of level polishing, lighting and textures and this could go live :)

drtizzle 2019-10-12 12:42

This is a very slick entry! I don't think the graphics are crappy, they do what they have to do (communicate). The controls feel very good, I felt like I was in control, and any deaths were my own mistake. It could use some audio, and maybe some more "juiciness", but overall a very solid entry!

japayne 2019-10-12 14:09

This was most fun for me to play of the entries so far. I don't see much correlation to the theme, but good job!

cafelovai 2019-10-12 14:31

Fun game. At first I thought the ball had too much inertia but I got used to it. Level design is interesting and I usually hate wall-jumping mechanics cause they tend to feel unnatural but I think you did a really good job with it here. I especially like how u can use the wall jumping to save yourself from death, but it is not so forgiving that it works every time. Like others said, the most important thing about graphics is that they communicate clearly what needs to be known about the gameplay. I think you did a great job with that here!

bassguitarbill 2019-10-12 14:31

Pretty floaty for a platformer, I don't feel like I had much control. That said, I liked the walljumping, and the art was minimalist and effective.

dock-frankenstein 2019-10-12 17:12

Nice game!

danilo-freire 2019-10-12 20:17

Hey, i have a really nice time enjoying your game! I like the genre very much and miss more games in this line.

I would love to play these levels again with some visual and sound feedback. There are a lot of cool YouTube videos about Gamefeel that would be very inspiring for your game.

Congrats! Thanks a lot, had a lot of fun! :D

reheated 2019-10-13 09:06

Overall: Nice platformer! Where's the theme?

Fun: Good - I like how this game gets to the point, with difficult levels, right from the beginning. I definitely see the SMB similarities. I'm actually glad that this game is fairly short - due to the difficulty, if it were much longer, it would be pretty soul-destroying. BTW, I like how effective the blood splatter effect is.

Innovation: The gameplay is completely standard; of course, the levels are original.

Theme: Not relevant to the theme, unless I missed something?

simon-parzer 2019-10-13 09:10

Not sure how it fits the theme, but it's a solid platformer with mechanics similar to Super Meat Boy. Good job!

coisne-nathan 2019-10-13 11:17

great game but it doesn't fit the theme, i'm not a platform player but i think your difficulty increase really fast, but your level design is cool.

psiv 2019-10-13 12:44

I am now an expert at level 3, up until the final sawblades that is :laughing: Did eventually manage to beat it though. I think even though there is only 4 levels they give a good representation of what the game is capable of, ranging from simple to really challenging. The only issue I think is that the platforms aren't all lined up perfectly, but that's being picky and I've no doubt that was just a time thing. Good job!

lonewolfdev 2019-10-13 17:15

Nice game! Not so innovative, but well made, the controls feel really good! Good job!

souldzin 2019-10-15 01:25

Great job at cloning the Super Meatboy mechanics! I especially loved the death sequence.

- Surprisingly, I think main character graphics would make wall jumping a bit easier because it creates a visual cue. - I wish SPACE was jump :joy:

cydouzo 2019-10-15 10:52

As mentioned before, the comparaison with super meat boy is quite obvious (and deserved) The game was too hard, couldn't finish it, but I guess I couldn't finish super meat boy either so ... :stuck_out_tongue:

2019-10-16 15:36

Challenging, fun game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/RIViZJOE9ps

czorio 2019-10-16 18:29

The game suffers from some stutters and framedrops on my machine, unfortunately. An additional thing that trips me up is the wall jumping. As the player controls a yellow ball, there is no real visual cue that the wall jump is possible at any given time.

paulo-brunassi 2019-10-18 15:23

Very challenging and fun game! I think that the first few levels could be a little easier for the player to get used to the game. Anyway good job!

sillyman987 2019-10-21 11:23

Had so much fun playing this! It wasn't like a normal platformer, and it was really hard! (Couldn't complete the second level :) )

hajden 2019-10-21 17:36

Very good platformer with tight controls. Hard too, but I enjoyed it

sprotex 2019-10-24 18:49

I liked this game a lot, but as others mentioned, there are some problems with it.

The theme is not apparent.

Inertia (in my opinion) is too large.

Maybe some SFX...?

Otherwise, I've had a lot of fun playing it. :slight_smile:

aj-jones 2019-10-27 20:37

Felt a bit sluggish to play, but was well made. Would suggest tightening up movement a little bit, but great job!
