Congratulations on your game. It's quite fun, the dragon appearing is a nice challenge. The platforms disappear not too high up which can cause an unexpected end

It's actually pretty fun, the dragon was a good bit of spice in the game.

Nice work! Some feedback: - The beginning of the game felt slightly too slow. - Sometimes, the player would not jump when commanded :/ - You can jump once while in air, but the behavior just slows you down instead of performing a full jump as a player might expect. - It'd be nice to have a means of engaging with the enemies and not simply avoiding them indefinitely. - Upgrades would be a nice touch if you had a ideas where to put them.

Cool platformer game! The dragon looks great! Sometimes there's not enough platforms, making it impossible to dodge the dragon's attacks. And I had to take a leap of faith to dodge from dragon fire, because the next platform level wasn't appearing fast enough!

The details in here were lovely! Great music shifts for danger time, love the little on-the-ledge animation; really fun and sweet!

A little slow in the beggining, and sometimes platforms aren't appearing fast enough, but otherwise pretty good ! The dragon definitely adds to the challenge ! :smiley:

Dragons,enemies,fireballs and the music is amazing, the stairs can be done better at random. The overall is still very challenging and interesting.

Fun little platformer! The controls felt nice and jumping to platforms wasn't an issue. I also liked the added danger of the dragon appearing and blowing fire down, while still having to avoid the obstacles on the platforms. I did think it's a little weird that you auto-die by falling through the bottom of the screen, even though the game itself is scrolling down. Usually in these kinds of games you die by not keeping up with the speed of the screen (eg you die by falling to the bottom if the camera is scrolling up) but because this game is the other way around, it feels like the platforms are coming too slowly and you have to take a lot of leaps of faith. I think this could be tweaked by making the scroll much faster, which would add to the chaos of the obstacles/monsters. Otherwise a very fun and promising game!

Well Done! This is a very challenging game, a little bit too hard for me (the range of fire balls from the dragon is a little bit too big maybe?). And I'd like to have some ways to fight against that dragon, would that be cool?

vulcan 2021-04-27 10:02

Yes, I do think so.

2021-04-27 10:04

做得好!这是一个非常具有挑战性的游戏

lungtakumi 2021-04-27 10:38

@campostella I have thought of that, but didn't have enough time to do xp. Maybe there will be a post LD version later.

lungtakumi 2021-04-27 10:39

@397 谢谢你!

I enjoyed it. I thought you nailed the physics and the motion felt very natural. Like a few people have mentioned I'd have loved to have some offensive capabilities. But for 3 days of effort this was great. Good base for extending capabilities.

bubbadubc 2021-04-28 00:42

I actually enjoyed this for a long time! I think the hit boxes on the fireballs are a little big! otherwise the game was quite enjoyable. thanks for sharing! I got to 72!

lungtakumi 2021-04-28 01:15

@embedder72 Actually we have just one full day to work, the other two days need to work at the company. We have rushed at last night :dizzy_face:

Good job! I love the artwork and music!.

krapht 2021-04-29 03:29

good change up to the inf jump up genre. Might increase the scale of difficulty faster as the first part kinda drags before things start to feel more intresting.

bamallama 2021-04-29 03:34

Faster scroll would definitely make this a lot more enjoyable, but neat game!

garys 2021-04-30 00:38

Good fun! This is very similar in concept to our game, but I love that you got the different types of platforms in there - the bouncing and spinning & spikes... we didn't get time for that in ours. The dragon is a great addition. Could probably have started a bit quicker as it felt sluggish after playing through and dying at a much higher speed.

interface 2021-04-30 03:25

Good job guys. I liked the graphics and sounds, the concept is great. I struggled a bit with the controls, the jumping and moving while in the air seemed a bit stiff and sometimes unpredictable. I also did have a few unlucky runs where the platform disappeared and I had nothing nowhere to get to... I liked the different types of platform. The jumping one was good to have. I think you could make a nice post-jam version of this for sure.

link270 2021-04-30 04:39

I liked it. I enjoyed the dragon a lot and how he came down and the different attacks. I liked how the it speeded up as it got harder as well.

tanner-shelton 2021-04-30 04:41

It was fun and I really liked the concept. I think hitboxes could be slightly larger, and it would be nice if the platforms didn't disappear earlier. But I enjoyed playing it. Good job.

1minatur 2021-04-30 04:43

Thanks for submitting the game for us to stream! Couple things of feedback I also mentioned on the stream, The hitboxes were a little funky at times, the mood as a whole felt great though. And then as others mentioned, the platforms felt like they disappeared a bit too far from the top, and they appeared before you could actually see them at the bottom. Thanks for letting us play!

I enjoyed playing this game :) Funny to have a game where you go down platforms instead of the traditional going up. I found myself having a good time as I dodged the boss flames and tried to time the leaps! Good job! A few things, it would have been cool if the camera followed the player somewhat more direct - I found myself sometimes falling out of the screen like a leap of faith and sometimes I was lucky enough to survive by a platform off screen :) I like the mechanic of the different platforms spin/bounce/spikes and the enemies. The style of that lava monster is familiar!

Edit: Oh, my score was 50 btw, maybe not so high :)

Nice game! I enjoyed playing it but I didn't like the trampoline
