Ahhh well done, funny as & definitely stuck with the theme
Some quick feedback, the jump is too short to clear some of the early platforms. It becomes a huge problem, however, because it is essentially luck based whether I am able to jump onto certain platforms that are clearly designed for me to get onto. Please consider uploading a modified build with a slightly increased jump height. Otherwise, pretty cool game. Considering the time it took to make I think you did a wonderful job.
Edit: after playing through with the fixed jump height its much less frustrating and an overall smoother experience. Thank You
That was fun :) the humour kept me engaged and the controls were simple. good work
Great game! The only thing I didn't like about it was the ALT control, everything else is GREAT!
@slammer Thanks for playing!
@seth-tal Thank you for playing and finding the jumping issues! Glad the update helped!
@maximevincent Thanks for playing, I appreciate the kind words!
@wallaby Thanks for playing! What key would you suggest I use? This was my first game and would love to know your feedback!
@tarvisplays I would suggest you to use Z instead of Space and X instead of Alt
Nice game :smile: had fun playing it.. kinda reminded me of the portal games when the AI was speaking.. very funny and great humor! Love it :heart:
@elizir Thanks for playing! Portal 2 is one of my favorite games! You can read my devlog to see what sparked this game, but portal is always in my mind! LOL
Very interesting game, I like it. However during the platform jumping on the third level I always accidentally fell off. This made me try many times.
I loved the narrator idea! It was a funny and interesting experience. I really liked the way you executed the theme too! Being stuck at level one is a funny idea! Really liked the artwork, adds to the atmosphere along with sound and music. The cheeky end was pretty funny, gave me major portal vibes.
Edit: Also wanted to mention perhaps having a save spot after the loop? It can be tedious to play the entire game all over again after you lose all your lives.
This is one of the most innovative games I've played so far! Awesome work! I really dig the humor and character of it. The ending was funny too.
The third platforming level was especially hard though: I kept dying & getting back to that level was a slog.
@mikesalyh @afestivedolphin That is a good point! I will keep that feedback in mind for the next game I make. I did not really experience the game loop after I lost all my lives. This is very constructive and I will be sure to implement something like a save point in my next jam/game! Thanks for playing! :smiley: :thumbsup:
@xiyou Thanks for playing! I now realize that I needed a safe spot after the initial loop. I will be sure to keep this in mind for my next project! :smile: :thumbsup:
Very cute project! Loved the little TV talking to you. Had some real personality! I missed a lot of what he said when the exit wasn't blocked out though. Fun ending too :)
@barelyevengames Thank you for playing!
Short and sweet.. Nice platformer man.
Good job. I like the concept art, specially of the talking monitor.
@gonzalol Thanks for playing!
@spawncampgames Thanks for playing!
Nice game I loved it especially the narration :) I have made a game too do play it :D
@integrated-rk Thanks for playing! I will check it out :)
The platforming mechanics could use some work but this was definitely an interesting take on the theme. I loved the talking monitor!
@thanielpin Thanks for playing! What suggestions do you have?
Clearly inspired by one of my favorite games 😁! I love it! The narration really highlighted the game. Maybe the levels solution are too scripted. I really don't feel difficult to finish any level. But it's a really nice concept and could be explored more off ludum dare. Amazing final scene! Nice work!
@rvenson Thank you! I agree that the level solutions are very easy, but this was more of a "Can I accomplish what I set out" more than a polished concept! I think I may work on this game more, but it will need some major refactoring! Thanks for playing and for the amazing feedback!
Nice game you got there! Looking quite well polished and fun. Also, I just loved the talking AI! Congratulations!
Fun little puzzle platformer with good pixel art and, as a few people have already mentioned, a strong dash of Portal vibes and humor! Though it was short, it offered a nice range of obstacles and solutions. I hope you keep working on it! Great job!
Like the game so much! Is the narration inspired by GLaDOS? 🤣
Nice game. :) I didn't get to experience much beyond the first few levels due to running out of lives and the game starting over entirely, and I didn't want to play through the looped first level again. But what I did play felt like a well done platformer. I would suggest comibining your pickup and throw button into one. If you're holding the item then it becomes a throw button. It's always a little confusing in games when they're separate buttons imo.
Nice and clever storytelling during a platform game! I like computer voice and expressions. Good Job!
Nice! The voice work was really well done, and the theme was integrated well.
