Nice art style! I really liked how the music gained more depth with each new ability added. The material of the boxes glitched out quite often though, appearing the disapearing again, making me almost die multiple times. All in all, I really like the aesthetic, fun game in general!

@danny88881 actually the material of the boxes is intentionally hidden. You start with nothing. They will stay visible after you stand on them. Also the blue blobs create a Sonar-like ping to reveal them. Thanks for playing!

Fun game I really enjoyed the soundtrack and the impact full feeling of dashing.

Love the 80s vibe. I made a game called Space Shift for Ludum Dare 35, welcome to the club :D

Really fun game, the mechanics are on point! Love the art style and the music really suits it.

@ogre glad you liked it! Also, ShiftSpace is a lovely game :D Club it is!

@diabola69 Thanks a bunch! Glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned, as we'll probably add a bunch of levels post-jam.

WOOOOOW Awesome. The music, the mistery, the mechanics. The best things are most simple. I would love to see this game developed further!!!

Loved it ! The music is awesome, totally in sinc with the graphics ! The concept is well within the theme and the controls are great ! Took me some time to realize the dash could help me go higher though ^^' Great game ! I don't know if it's meant to be that way but once I got the 15 blue stars in the first level it did not automatically load the net level.

Love the art style. Always a huge fan of the 80s vector graphics style. Audio goes well with the game. I will say it was kind of confusing getting dropped into what I assume is a 'for fun' level that's completely randomly generated boxes as my first level. After restarting and getting a standard level layout, it was a lot of fun. Game has a lot of potential as a fps runner game like deadcore.

Excellent job.

@daitse yeah, I ran out of time and did not make a proper level selection UI (hence why the console was left in to switch manually for people). However I did leave the level not load the next after getting all the blogs so that players can jump around have have fun in the fully revealed map. Thanks for playing!

@boats Yup, the bane of randomized level load. It seemed like a nice idea at the time, not sure anymore :D Still, left in the console commands for manual swap. Thank you for the commends and the play! Stay tuned, we already came to a decision to extend this game a lot!

80's style is here no doubt of it. Nice entry, a good moment spending on it keep it up !

As a person who loves and makes synthwave, I think this game's awesome! So relaxing :)

feingehacktes 2019-10-08 19:16

bustosman 2019-10-09 01:14

I was engaged the whole way and it was overall a worthwhile gameplay experience! Excellent!

hadesfury 2019-10-09 11:19

Awesome, I like the visual. The sound is good. But I didn’t manage to change my keyboard layout to use zasd like on azerty keyboard, it really hurts. But really good game

drjeebus 2019-10-09 14:16

Pretty good solid foundation. For sure have a game you can continue working on if you're looking for a new project.

sir-galloy-de-fierpate 2019-10-09 16:05

I really like it ! The challenge and logic to get blue stars were great, but my favorite part in the game is the music. What a great idea of playing only one music, but with different paterns that you unlock through new skills. Love it ! One of my favorite game for this game-jam. Congrats !

dawnscream 2019-10-09 18:01

Thank you for the rating and your time for trying out our game @veeti-sundqvist @drjeebus @feingehacktes @bustosman @hadesfury and @sir-galloy-de-fierpate ! I'm glad you enjoyed it. We certainly plan on expanding on this with a variety of things, but the evolving music is definitively staying as one of our core functions. I had a blast developing the system and @sloe did an awesome job at composing the music itself. :)

Nice music and choice of colors in the game. Unfortunately I suffer from motion sickness when I play smooth floating FPS games so I could only play your game for a few minutes. Still, I like the idea of adding abilities and having the short range of view to create a navigational puzzle.

coleslaughter 2019-10-12 05:17

I really like the potential of this! :) I definitely think the game is more suited to your intentional level design, as I kind of enjoyed this as a puzzle game moreso than a 3D platformer. Figuring out how to get past obstacles by either dashing around or underneath them almost gave me a 3D Celeste kind of vibe!

I do think that the dash effects were a *bit* too pronounced to the point where it made it difficult for me to judge exactly just how far I'd dash when I hit the button. But otherwise, the game looked fantastic! And the adaptive music was top notch :ok_hand: Nice job!
