I'm stuck at title screen. When i press "play" it seems to reload the game

qlqrcoisa 2020-10-15 02:11

Bem triii! Adorei o 4º final kk

joaog 2020-10-16 21:46

@kpedatte I believe I have solved the problem with the last update. I'm sorry I took so long to answer you, I hope you can still play. Thanks for the feedback!

antihedra 2020-10-16 23:13

There's some cool ideas in here but the controls are irritating, specifically w to jump (why can't it just be space ;-;) and the speed ramping on the movement.

sli 2020-10-16 23:25

Good take on the theme. You managed to finish many levels and the loop part didn't feel boring or what ever you wrote. I don't know if if it is by design, but the controls felt a little bit clunky. Overall good job.

lychee 2020-10-17 02:41

I'm also stuck on the title screen. Unless it's supposed to loop? xD

joaog 2020-10-17 03:05

@lychee Haha yes! This game has several loops, this is only the first, **but there is really a game after the initial screen, please keep clicking**, it is only a few times (4 times to be exact). I had doubts if this first loop of the home screen would keep some players away but I decided to take the risks, the joke seemed to be worth the risk. Thanks for the feedback!

bellatrion 2020-10-17 04:00

The loop on the title screen is indeed confusing, but when we start the game with the theme in mind, it makes sense. I still started worrying if it was really a bug after the third time xD Regarding the actual game, I found the character too slow to move. Fortunately the game is forgiving for platforming parts. I ended up stuck at the level where the character references Stanley, not sure if it's one of the levels where I was supposed to use "E" key to do something. I wish I could have seen more loops ^^

joaog 2020-10-17 18:12

@bellatrion Thank you for your feedback! I don't know if I should say this, but if you want a hint, one level before, the game says "move on" and then comes the reference to The Stanley Parable along with a question about why to follow orders, try to do the opposite.

jack-lance 2020-10-17 19:06

Very intriguing, and I liked the gimmick that the start screen loops a bit before actually starting. I think the horizontal acceleration is slow enough that it genuinely detracts from the fun of the platforming.

lychee 2020-10-17 19:36

@joaog Ah I see, I was able to play it for real now. Maybe some kind of indicator the title screen is looping would help to show it's not a bug haha.

I liked the sprites, and the dialogue was funny! I agree with others that acceleration should be a bit faster on movement, then it would feel nicer to control. Good job overall!

bellatrion 2020-10-17 20:34

@joaog Aaaah, thanks for the hint ! Of course, it makes sense now :) I'll have to try the game again

garys 2020-10-17 20:36

I love games that mess with you like this... The physics could have done with a bit of polish though, the slow accelleration was a little frustrating and pressing E didn't work most of the time, until it suddenly did. Fun looping though and I enjoyed exploring it.

chickenchaser 2020-10-17 21:59

I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the music. Just the player movement could use some tweaking.

f1krazy 2020-10-17 22:15

Definitely one of the more interesting games I've played so far this jam. I liked the looping on the title screen. As the other reviews have noted, I'm not so keen on the physics, they're far more annoying than any of the looping mechanics. I also got stuck on the room with the Stanley Parable reference, I'll try out the hint and see if I can figure it out.

EDIT: I managed to find one of the endings and it was deceptively easy to get. I also found a fun little glitch: if you hold down D right at the start of a level, you'll move right while still facing left :joy:

joaog 2020-10-19 22:54

@sli, @bellatrion, @jack-lance, @lychee, @garys, @chickenchaser, @f1krazy You all reported the same problems to me, sorry for that, but thanks for the feedbacks. I believe I have solved the physics and movementation problems in the new update and @antihedra, I am happy to tell you that I added the space bar key to jump! Thanks for playing.

barvaz 2020-10-20 07:14

An awesome game! Really liked the concept and different game modes (fish, goat). Great job!

kuro 2020-10-20 11:12

Very pleasant and fun game. I liked the mood and the message, and had a few giggles. Good job.

f1krazy 2020-10-20 18:38

With the physics fixed, I was able to play through more of the game and get the second ending. Now that I've seen more of it, I can really appreciate the looping, and the *Stanley Parable*-esque battles against fate and the narrator. There's a surprising number of rooms and different mechanics, and there's surely more that I haven't seen yet. Thank you for fixing the issues and getting back to be, it was definitely worth it for both of us!

lyje 2020-10-24 14:37

Nice idea, and it's really cool that you managed to get multiple endings in! However it's not really clear what the point is while playing, and the platformer controls/mechanics can get in the way.

fractal 2020-10-25 21:31

You did very well at getting me confused, but in a good way, I definitely enjoyed it!

coleslaughter 2020-10-25 22:47

[We played your game on stream this weekend!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/781046795?t=02h39m58s)

We kiiiiiiinda scold you a little bit about your game page at the beginning, but just know that it comes from a place of love. :wink: :heart:

We actually had fun with this one! You managed to cram a lot of different mechanics into a single game by yourself, which is nuts, well done!

joaog 2020-10-26 00:43

@coleslaughter, I didn't know about this stream! Thank you so much for playing my game in your stream! :grin:

I just watched it and seriously, thanks for the suggestions and the rebuke, you can be sure that I will remember it next time and as soon as possible I will correct this in the games already published on my itch.io

It was fun to watch, you guys are awesome and got all the references!!! :clap: :laughing:

toby1645 2020-10-27 16:25

Good idea, but not the best execution. Specifically the starting parts of the game like the menu are a bit annoying. I wouldn't recommend having the menu loop like that and require you to click several times before it starts. Players may think the game is broken before it even starts.

jollyjoe 2020-10-27 16:31

Amazing!!!! I was like aww a simple platformer, Nope! with all the different playable things, and being a cool ghost was my favorite, then a fish, awesome stuff, I even loved glitching through the wall above the doors, was able to move walk my way out of one :) I got out of the loop too!!! I really liked it, fun factor for real!

guimoliveira 2020-10-27 19:43

Very nice game! Good job! :)

_For everyone who left your comments here, know that I also played your games and rated them._ :joystick:

@f1krazy, without a doubt it was worth correcting the physics of the game.

@lychee, @bellatrion, @f1krazy, thanks for giving the game another chance and for coming back to the comments.

And again thanks to @coleslaughter and @birdwards for their streams! @coleslaughter, I already edited the pages of this game here and on [itch.io](https://joaog.itch.io/oplo) :smile:
