The player shape looks pretty amazing and level design is good static images with some real platformer in it. Basically I liked the player's shape (box) alot, as it's simple to implement and very unique dimensions - everyone else would have created just boring rectangle, but you have stretched rectangle.

like the idea of having shorter levels witch specific tasks to learn to continue and backtracking to find new things, but would have liked to have a better game over screen when failing (consider using sprites over the default buttons?). Impressed that you made it with construct 3 as i've heard there are still many bugs and such in that game engine.

@xephrys Thanks for the comment and the feedback! Indeed, the Game Over Screen really is lacking polish - I will keep that in mind for the next LD.
For Construct3: TBH, i haven't ran into any major issues with the current version of the Engine. It was pretty straight forward to get into (only started on the Friday of LD45). The JavaScript Implementation needed some tinkering, but overall, i really enjoyed my time with Construct and would use it again. (Though I am currently contemplating reworking the game from the ground up in Godot and expanding on the Ideas that have eluded me during this Jam)
Nice and sweet. I really enjoyed it :3.

@captain-nakou Thanks for playing!
Liked: + Tutorial is a part of the game - learn to play while playing - nice! + Sound and mood in general + Visual style
Disliked: - Difficulty - I'm not the guy to sit there all day trying to pass past level 5. Finished level 4 in 5 tries... - I'm not a big fan of platformers - but this is personal.
Ways to improve: - A bit more polishing here and there and you are good to go!

That was fun! The last level was pretty hard, I took a long time to get the double jump up to the platform with the blue crystal right. The ending was funny and witty. Nice game, good music, fun to play - a solid entry!
This was a nice experience all the way through! Level 5 was pretty fun to play through, I want more levels like that.

@maxklimenok Thank you very much for the indepth feedback! I will take that into consideration for the next entry!
@danie Thank you for playing and the feedback! And yeah, some jumps were a bit tricky - I ran into a bit of a problem when replacing my earlier Blockers for the Platforms and had to redo all the levels.
@fashionbatman Thank you for the feedback! The original plan was to pair the style of Level 5 with colour puzzles like in Level 3, so that might happen eventually!

Ohh, it's a very cool feature - essentions of abilities! Also like graphics style Didn't beat lvl 5 ( But maybe it's need to polish control. Good job!
It was a pretty enjoyable experience! I liked the visuals, music and how the world changed around me when I picked up a colored orb. Impressive work for 2 days!

Pretty good game! I did not find the secret exit but the five levels where fun to play. I also like your music and graphics. Well done!
Nice game!

Really nice game! I like your artstyle and the idea :slight_smile: Level 5 was a bit tricky because at first I didn't understand how I was supposed to jump up the last platform to reach the blue pickup. But I managed to complete it at last@ :clap: :ghost:

I love the painted background, especially that angry grey tornadofingerpaint looking thing on level 5. The concept here is cool, and the character is a bit stiff (stiff as a board?) but it doesn't get in the way of enjoying the environment and the nice background music. Nice work!
