Not too bad. The gameplay was good, all the physics are really smooth and it's quite fun to play. I think it probably needs more colour and some particle effects, music and sound effects wouldn't go unnoticed.
Overall though, pretty good job!
Fantastic game!
I love the art/style. Though, Guno--ah--looks a bit like a... *sperm*. :laughing: Anyways, I like that there's a story, and lots of really great mechanics! The movement was easy to get used to, the level design seemed to scale up appropriately. The clusters were placed in such a way that they at one point became legitimately surprising/terrifying. I wasn't able to get past the level with the 'agers,' so I can't comment on the levels that come after that.
I enjoyed the dialog ('Don't try to escape from me!', 'Did I say to touch that?' :grin:), though at times, I was frustrated that I couldn't skip through it once I'd read it.
Lots to love in this game. Good job!
Solid level design. The camera is so close and the movement speed so high one can sometimes be surprised by walls or enemies when moving around the level. Lovely game overall.
@digitallimestone @nocity thanks for your feedback :smile: @rdcooper thank you for pointing out the bug with dialogues. Speaking about "agers", they are unexpectedly hard to avoid so I may consider rebalancing their speed. If you are interested, after this level there is still almost one hour of gameplay. :smiley:
Good game. Level design definitely is the strongh part of the game. The minimal art style is good but i think should have a little bit more elements in the scenario to guide the player through the level. Good job!
A really funny game. I unfortunately didn't get through the agers level as well, so I seem to be missing out on a lot of the game. Still, from what I have experienced, the game is a lot of fun. The distance of the camera to the player seems appropriate and makes for some surprise when meeting enemies! Somehow I felt there was a lack of interesting graphics, like a background or maybe some effects when collecting energy balls. Overall still a very solid game, thank you for this experience!
@plepletier @jonas-michael thanks for your feedback. I've fixed some bugs in my game, you can check it out if you want.
I really liked how responsive the controlls felt. Also the interpretation of the theme is quite unique. The general gameplay works. But i found it tedious to look for the last energy ball or activator thing when I missed one. I would sugest adding some extra so you don't have to look so much in the end. Other than that I realyy enjoyed playing. Good Job :)
Edit. I also really liked the simplistic art. Way to turn time constaints into a strength of the game ;)
Cool and simple style, though the closeness of the camera gave me a claustrophobic feel :D At least the controls were quite responsive, even if they didn't help me when something came out of nowhere to where I was going... Some ambient music would go really well with this.
@ausstein thank you for your feedback and advice, I'll think about your suggestion.
@nurkkacthulhu thanks for playing, I am planning to add music in next updates.
It requires quick reaction times & thinking, especially when the plus-shaped guy appears out of nowhere and tries to ruin your whole day :sweat_smile:
* The 1.1 version of the game is impossible to complete, as in the second to last level there are not enough energy balls * In the 2nd level (not counting the tutorial) there is 1 extra energy ball, is it done intentionally? To be more precise, 4 energy balls instead of 3 * There is a typo in the text about creating AGERS: "accidently" instead of "accidentally"
