This is overall a fun little game idea. I really liked the music and the visuals. The gameplay idea is fun, but way too difficult for me. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

The game is amazing. The art, movement, and music are so well done for the amount of time you had! The hit box seems a bit of but other than that everything was really well done. Even more when I seen the spark of madness quote :)

Maybe I lack faith, but my leap of it drive me to the end of game. Teleport is not working (if ot was a teleport). Any other directions lead to death.

okok, that was not a saw but a star Kappa

I just love this game. The music and sound effects are amazing and the art style is simply beautiful. The gameplay is quite addicting, makes you want to speed run it. Trying to make the perfect jumps and so on. It's beyond amazing this was created in such a short amount of time, looking forward to future updates!

The visuals are amazing, snappy and clear. I liked the gameplay and I liked how inspirational dwight is, how does he come with those quotes? :wink:

apbakeware 2020-10-05 15:21

Love the inspirational messages. They make for a feel good game. Took me a couple runs to discover "double jumping" but after that I didn't want to stop. Really well done.

indiedevdan 2020-10-05 15:24

Sounds great. Looks great. Plays great! :)

tutti-ankka 2020-10-05 15:24

This is a really solid entry. Well polished, good audio design and a nice simple graphics style. The platforming also feels very solid. Really enjoyed my way through it. Well done!

This game is amazing!

p-brighenti 2020-10-05 15:24

Amazing amount of content and polish for 48h, great job! Nice message at the end as well, mad props.

Gah, some of these levels were mean. Sometimes you sit there and wonder if that spike will miss you and by the time you realize it wont.. there is no escape. Great fun overall.

Very cool game, the visuals and orangeness is quite appealing. The difficulty ramp is a bit too harsh, but it's understandable given very short time for level design during Jam. As mentioned by @glaikunt, the hit registry is a bit flappy-bird-like, so it's rewarding when you make the pixel perfect jump but can also backfire on players who are less patient :sweat_smile:

Cute little platformer! Simple and enjoyable. Nicely done!

dmitry-mozgin 2020-10-05 15:37

I like the execution of the game. The execution feels solid, versatile and looks like a quality platformer template for a game if you want to develop it further. But it lacks something. I think it lacks more live to it. It feels a little bit repetitive from time to time. Nice game!

cagibi 2020-10-05 16:03

Great game and mood! The only thing that lacks polishing is the camera still following the player after death, if I wanted to be picky :P

doomerismo 2020-10-05 16:19

An awesomee entry. Very nice sprites, sound and overall game design. A comercial game level platformer. Gave high ratings for this.

caiclone 2020-10-05 17:07

That was refreshing! Really clean game all together, I was pleasantly surprised with the level design, that felt like it truly was teaching me the systems without any kind of tutorial, for example in the level you had to drop down. I also appreciated the messages that kept appearing through the game and the one in the end!

aterlamia 2020-10-05 18:16

I enjoyed this game, i thing this kind of game works very well with the kind of art and music you added. Music could be a little bit less repetitive but its definitely better than no music

neragoth 2020-10-05 18:48

Amazing! It's really fun with well thought level design, and the juiciness of gameplay and animations is here. Clean and pretty graphics too. Congrats on this...

zagganoth 2020-10-05 18:53

I really liked it! Felt like a tight experience overall but if I were to nitpick the controls felt just a smidge floaty

gamepopper 2020-10-05 19:51

This game was rather pleasent to play through.

iszlonn 2020-10-06 01:03

Very nice little game, and a cool take on the theme

nethead 2020-10-06 02:08

Great job making such a polished game! The text added a lot to the mood, and the gameplay felt very smooth.

rodgems 2020-10-06 23:44

Those. Level. Transitions.

barelyevengames 2020-10-07 00:05

Very pretty game. Some of the puzzles were a little too unforgiving maybe. It seemed like the messages were inspiring, but I died so many times I stopped reading them :( great message though! It felt good to see the final screen at the end!

nyubi 2020-10-07 14:24

Awesome game, great game art, animations, particles, music, sounds, transitions and the game play & set up of the challenges/puzzls is really nice. Also how you teach the player the controls in the first level, really well done! Lots to learn for me here. And the messages... :grin: strangely motivating, annoying, funny, ironic... all at the same time. They definitively added to the whole game xp for me.

jaoel 2020-10-07 16:20

An enjoyable experience with some challenging puzzle platforming. The controls are tight and the amazing animations and sound effects makes Dwight feel alive and tangible.

Good job!

funemaker 2020-10-08 03:40

It looks really good, sounds good too. I like the commentary text, reminds me of Getting Over It. Sometimes the timing of the text is too quick to read while playing, but very cool.

glaciereclipse 2020-10-08 21:50

Very good game, I felt like getting the player to start moving was a bit hard, but overall very solid platforming. The hitboxes for the spikes felt gigantic, I was just scared to be in their proximity so the puzzles where you have to thread the needle were very frustrating. The animation, inspirational lines and sfx were really well done.

eugenik 2020-10-09 01:02

HAHA I love the concept! Well done!

fumybulb 2020-10-09 18:08

The game is well polished, I played through all the levels with pleasure.

joonamo 2020-10-09 18:14

The orange-white-gray art style works really well! I like how almost nothing is static, but always wobbling a bit.

dark-prince-zen 2020-10-11 07:13

Probably my favourite LD game this far. Best tutorial setup as well. Can't really fault this game. Gave me Thomas Was Alone vibes. Fantastic job!

ukulelefury 2020-10-12 20:03

I like that Dwight has a name. It makes me want to save them. I like the gameplay! But it's pretty hard. I think making the spikes a little further apart and reducing the size of their hitboxes might make it more approachable.

animaster 2020-10-14 22:33

Agreed with comment above, hitboxes is huge. Other than that it's very nice polished game. Well done!

ale 2020-10-17 16:51

That was a nice polished platformer with a nice amount of challenge. The inspirational messages that popped up every time I died were probably what helped me reach the end lol, because I died a LOT. The graphics were nice and polished, and the UI/transition animations were great. Good job with this one!

clemonades 2020-10-23 13:29

Thanks everyone!!
