Congrats for making this game !

After numerous tries, I could achieve to finish it ! Oof ! Sadly, I spent much time to fight against the corners of the walls than to advance on the level. I loved the multiples trolls in the game (especially the last one :smile:). Great idea for this theme. Good entry overall.

@wakobu Yes, those corners. I spent about 25% of my time with colliders and it's still barely playable :smile: this is the part I usually like to leave to my teammates. In any case, thank you for fighting with several corners so that you can rate the whole game.

@evileptic congratulations and thank you

Love the intro and the "loop continues" which resets the game in the end. :smile: It was so hard though, was trying for solid 10 minutes before I reached the end.

Very nice idea. Some glitches whit texture. But i get a lote of fun, trying to challange my stlf a loop befor. Very nice.

10 sec is just to hard

Nice take on the theme ! I especially liked the animated rewind feature. The problem with time limits is that the physics must be perfect... In this game, it's ok but they could be improved!

The music give it a mysterious touch, which is nice, and making it loop each time you start over is a good idea!

Congrats on your first solo participation, keep up to good work!

You escaped the loop... but the loop continues. Frustrating, but interesting! At first I was WTF, but then I realised how precise you should be to beat the game and it became interesting. Nice approach, a little bit frustrating physics, but really worth to play! And you have even the intro!

Man this was hard, but I got to the end. (but the loop keeps going...) Nice work on the cutscenes!

Good idea and matches the theme very well! I would get stuck sometimes in the floor when jumping and the jump would also sometimes go twice as high. Could have also used a reset button for when you screwed up the run instead of just waiting.

I'm sure you can beat this but the colliders and jumping is so weird that I can only get about halfway before I end up looping. I tried about 20 or so times and couldn't even see the goal. Cool idea since you're trying to escape or beat the loop.

Fun little game but time is soo tight. The physics definitely glitches when jumping and quite a few times I basically gave up on the first level and just waiting for the loop as I was stuck in the jumped position and unable to jump again.

Good game! Perhaps at the beginning, I was confusing about the controls because there isn't a tutorial, and sometimes when a game is very difficult from the start players to think that there are other options or abilities. See your previous loop is amazing (like the deads in Super Meat Boy). The jump sometimes gets stuck in a surface and I didn't jump again, but it's normal en la ldjam. Great work! Congrats!

Nice game!

tunahead 2020-10-19 13:43

Nice Game... But the Jumps feel very...weird. It's also very easy to jump into a wall. Then the Animation is stuck and you need to fall somewhere else down to reset the animation.

You expect a bit to much precision. Which wouldn't be that bad if the Game wasn't that floaty and maybe a longer Time limit.

Sorry if this sounds harsh...other than that, I had a great time! :)

Loved The Graphics And The Humor. The Cutscene Was legendary. But The Gameplay Itself Was Infuriating. Felt Like Me Failing Was The Game's Fault And Not Mine. You Gotta Fix The Moment and Collision. I even Managed To Go Trough Platforms on multiple occasions. Screenshot (78).png Screenshot (75).png

Wasn't That Enjoyable Of An Experience.

I liked the humor and visual style, but gameplay was a little too difficult for me. Anyway its a cool game, thanks!

ludipe 2020-10-20 23:23

I tried for a while but I couldn't reach the end of the level (though I was close). I liked the tone, the jokes and the overall presentation. Platforming was a bit frustrating though, the character would glitch on most runs (after landing on a platform it'd still display its falling animation and not allow me to jump).

So many comments, thank you all.

Most of you had a problem getting stuck in the ground (which also makes it impossible to jump). I struggled with the problem throughout the development and this condition was the best I got to. It was possible to jump through the wall a while before the release, at least I managed to fix it :D .

For the next time, I have already been instructed and I will leave the physics to a more experienced colleague, who this time could not participate in the team with me.

The difficulty of the game, which some of you found too high, was chosen deliberately so that the player would get into the frustration of the main character.

Despite all this, some of you have managed to finish the "end", for which they deserve great recognition. Those of you who have not finished, do not hesitate to watch the gameplay video, where you will see the whole game and you will not miss the idea of the whole story.
