This is really awesome!

Super polished, really fun to play! The fact that enemies take away time is also pretty interesting

Woah the art on this game is super polished!! Great job! some platforming bits were a bit hard, I kept falling from some platforms near the edge. Cool concept, reminded my of that movie where money was time. Nicely done!! Congrats on your game!

Great artwork, looks really nice. It was fun to play and I like how you introduced new moves in the game.

Really nice game. Feels pretty polished for a game jam

Nice!

Very quick movement but still controlable. Had a great time playing :D

This is so good for 72 hours! Original concept, I really like how you use time instead of health as a central mechanic. I enjoyed the platforming. Later on it does take more patience with the lasers instakilling you. Really fun, nice job :)

Nice game and cute graphics :) Great entry!

Cool game! Would have liked to se you fully commit to a time based penalty, and not have to restart the level too. Platforming mechanics were not tight enough to keep me interested in seeing all the powers. Would like to see a really polished single level than just more content that not everyone might see.

Okay, so this is basically the best game I've played so far. I am surprised the other commenters aren't as hyped as I am.

The graphics are AMAZING. The platforming is a little floaty, but nothing unmanageable. The sound kicks ass. I really really really wanted to finish the game (I even found the $500 door!) but I didn't because of these two level design "flaws" (even though the level design was otherwise awesome!)

In the second to last (maybe third to last room) there's a jump you have to make down a hole where you're flanked by two lasers. This jump is VERY HARD to make without the teleporter grenades.

I almost gave up because I kept bumping into the lasers on my way down or on the initial leap. I had to try about a dozen times. This was mitigated when I found the teleporter grenade on my second go around.

Now, it's clear once you have the teleporter grenade that you can get to the $500 door from the first room, but man, I cannot predictably throw that thing at all. I found it would either not make it past the double laser barrier, or worse, it would get stuck in between. Combine this with the idea that making it to the 500 door is not easy and I just gave up.

You're still gonna get a great rating from me, but I just wanted to let you know about some things you could do (in my opinion!!!!) to get your game from great to flawless.

ruud-cremers 2020-10-07 07:41

Thanks for the praise everyone!

@m7rk: You have some level of control on how to throw the telebomb. It depends on which directions you are holding while you lob it. I guess this is more obvious while you play on a gamepad. If you hold left+up you can easily throw it through the 2 lasers :)

And yes, that drop with 2 lasers on either side gets me a lot too!

I really enjoyed this and liked that time was also used as health. My only gripes were I got stun locked on two snakes in the pit and couldn't jump out, and the control scheme. Particularly the jump button being Z. But overall this is a very polished game and I like the variety in the levels. Fantastic work!

Music is cool. Shift for the dash was a bit awkard tho, and movement in general could be improved. Overall is a nice work!

Love it when I see other godot users, great level design, good animations and a variety of enemies. nice audio effect. The game is somewhat polished. Enjoyed the gameplay. good job people :clap:

Game very well done, I liked the fun provided, good job!

Ha, that was great! Eventually managed to get to the final door. I didn't have enough to unlock it yet, so I did a few more loops and came back after collecting 500. Good game, was fun! But I didn't enjoy the controls, they were kinda awkward and took some getting used to (Shift, Z, X) Overall a great game!
