Really nice level design :thumbsup:

doga-sarp-sezer 2020-04-20 16:19

A very original idea and execution!

benbonk 2020-04-20 16:24

Very solid game overall. The music nice, graphics are really well done and the main mechanic is really cool and interesting. One problem I had was that the level design was a little too easy for me. I tended to get past every level on my first few tries, though I do understand it was hard to make such difficult levels in such a short period of time. There are some really cool level design choices though. Overall this is a really well done, short platformer.

Fantastic game, it's just a shame it's so short!

What a fantastic concept, loved the level design. Great little game.

A pretty creative take on being a source of power, and how that impacts platforming level design and the act of platforming itself. Really enjoyed playing through to the end and the clever uses of the mechanics to create challenge.

LOVED the graphics, sound, music, concept, everything. My only critique is it wasn't long enough XD I wish there were more levels to play. Also, I tried WAY to hard to get to the puppy but couldn't figure out how.

Really, really good game.

Good Job,It looks like Celeste but with a new Gameplay, soon a sequel? It's really super !!

I swear I've seen this exact game before, although with more yellows and less blues in the color scheme. Can't find a reference now though.

Great game, solid gameplay, fun music. I'm going to have to save this one to play more later.

Great game idea and great realization! I would have love to see more levels.

Nice levels that do a good job of showing off your main mechanics here. I like the color scheme you used here and even though there aren't too many background details I think they added a lot of immersion to this space. Outside of LD time constraints, one thing that might be cool to add is being able to push conductive blocks around in order to make/break certain connections to solve a puzzle.

Even it is very Shot I enjoyed it a lot, never such a gameplay Well done :v:

leyamez 2020-04-20 16:36

Love the art style, music was a bit repetitive but was still nice! I liked the little dog snuck in at the top in the one level, and I loved the concept of the game all together. Feel like the controls in the air were a bit un-fluid and could use some touching up, but the game still felt very smooth! Wish there was more!

wallaby 2020-04-20 16:37

I love the level design!

mutuware 2020-04-20 16:39

Good idea, liked the jumping up into the bolts actually turns them off. Good job on the electrical noises also.

So many comments!

@mister-morris-games @doga-sarp-sezer @benbonk @niterich @clarrismusic @kirbloid @stefanie-leitch @sebastian-caron @jpv @loig @mbc @lazzydev72 @leyamez @wallaby @mutuware

Thank you all for your kind and positive comments, I worked hard on putting this together and I'm glad you all enjoyed it!

Sorry for the lack of levels, this is my first jam and I'm still new to game dev all together. So I wanted to start with a simple concept and try and make something good rather than long, quality over quantity.

@jpv As for seeing something like this before, I personally have never although wouldn't surprise me if something of the sorts already existed.

@sebastian-caron I never planned on taking this any further but seeing as so many people like it, I will probably take some time to expand on it and hopefully add some more levels and mechanics.

@benbonk Thank you, the most difficult part of this for me was the level design, hopefully given some more time I can think of some harder levels.

@mbc Great ideas, I was thinking of adding things like conveyer belts and buttons as well.

@leyamez Thank you for the feedback, next time I jam I will try and get some more play testing feedback to try and refine controls and things.

Yes, I remember playing that game too, and if it wasn't for that game I can't finish this game so quickly.

Hello everyone, it looks like to complete this game you need to do the impossible to sell a kidney, buy a fake diploma, fly to Mars and back, and be cool in general! This is evidenced by my despair and a small amount of sarcasm, although maybe not much.
