I really like this game! The black and white really game it a retro vibe. Good job!

pune007 2021-04-27 06:50

@tonio Thank you very much for your nice feedback

chesschaser 2021-04-27 09:59

@pune007 good graphics, however i would have quite liked if the jump was a bit better

xparker 2021-04-27 10:03

Nice design and simple, fluid, gameplay. Sadly missing a bit of a background track which does lower the mood a bit (for me).

pune007 2021-04-27 10:09

@chesschaser Thanks for the feedback haha

@xparker Yeah, I couldn't find any CC0 music which fit the vibe of the game. Thanks for you feedback and kind words

goldenevolution 2021-04-27 11:49

Fun and short little game, even with only black and white, the graphics are cool

pune007 2021-04-27 11:51

@goldenevolution Thanks for the kind words haha

Nice concept. It's fun to jump over enemies to jump higher!

Unfortunately short gameplay. I was expecting more levels.

Good job :smile:

otresnjak 2021-04-28 04:54

I really enjoyed this! The minimalist visual style is cool and has a lot of personality-- reminds me a bit of the TI-81 calculator games we used to trade in high school. Good stuff. :)

carlos-alexandre-zgierski 2021-04-28 05:06

The visuals are super cool and the game is fun! Congrats! :v:

revilo 2021-04-28 05:16

Nice little game, a concept we've seen many times with a slight change of jumping on the enemy to get higher and further, I enjoyed this it's something I can see my self attempting again and again and the visuals are great.

maple 2021-04-28 05:17

I reached the end. Fun game! Some of the levels were pretty hardcore, which was rad. Also I enjoyed the spinning animation when you jump.

A little more horizontal speed would have been nice. I also noticed that you can fall forever if you jump to the left of the stage.

All in all, well done. A great entry and congrats on being able to make your first whole game in 48 hours - it's a big achievement :)

pune007 2021-04-28 05:49

@pedrohph Ah, I wanted to make 8 levels in total but could not due to less time. Thanks for your feedback and kind words

pune007 2021-04-28 05:55

@otresnjak For a second, i was like "wait a calculator" and then remembered the video where a person made doom on that piece of software. I'm happy you liked it.

@carlos-alexandre-zgierski Haha, thanks for your kind words

@revilo I'm very happy you liked it.

@Maple Thank you very much for your constructive feedback. I really appreciate you liked my small game and I will fix the issues with it in a small update.

brokenmatcha 2021-04-28 10:59

Very cool graphics, I love it! The jump on the bomb is well balanced and feels good, nice job!

pune007 2021-04-28 11:11

@brokenmatcha I'm very happy you liked the art and the gameplay.

alexey-kuzovkov 2021-04-28 11:12

I love the visuals, simple but stylish! Good one!

yigit-doruk 2021-04-28 11:29

Great and stylistic art style with a fun little mechanic. But I'd definitely wanted to hear some music and more sfx, I believe those would improve the overall quality of the game. Also, I wanted to play more, but levels were a bit short. But it's still very fun game to play, keep up the good work!

pune007 2021-04-28 12:08

@alexey-kuzovkov I am happy you liked it.

@yigit-doruk Yeah, I had added sfx but scrapped them at the last minute as they did not work properly. But I am going to polish and make the game better in general. But still Thank you for your feedback

eugenik 2021-04-28 12:09

great atmosphere and the audio sets the tone well

pune007 2021-04-28 13:28

@eugenik Thank you !!

korfi 2021-04-29 12:18

I really enjoyed the game and the visuals!

The controls felt solid, the character felt responsive and the jump wasn't "floaty". Sometimes jumping on the bombles was registered even though I felt like it shouldn't have been (hit it very close to the edge for example). It feels like the game could make a really nice precision platformer if you added a few more levels and a few more mechanics. Maybe add another character movement (wall-jump, dashing, double jump etc.), some enemies or other obstacles for example, to make new levels have an extra layer of depth!

pune007 2021-04-29 12:21

@korfi Ah I kept the hitboxes big so that it would be fair. Turns out it was too fair haha

Thank you for your kind words. I am planning on making this a small mobile game and am going to add lot of more levels and stuff in the future.

mm-gamedev 2021-04-29 12:42

Hardest game in the UNIVERSE.... lol...maybe im not that good with platformers tho...Was lots of Fun...Also That is some really cool black and white art

pune007 2021-04-29 12:46

@mm-gamedev Ooomf. But still, I'm happy you found it fun

not-as-artistic 2021-04-29 15:46

Nice game! Tight controls and good levels. The only thing that I might do differently would be to have some sort of visual indication of how high your jump will go when you step on the bombs. As far as I know, there are two types of bombs : one that sends you higher about 3~4 times than your default jump, and one that sends you about twice as high. I think it would be more fitting for a precision platformer if you could differentiate one from the other; I found it a bit hard sometimes to gauge my jump. The character feels a bit heavy, but its movement and physics are consistent so it doesn't matter too much. Overall great job! I also found the black and white pixel style graphics endearing.

pune007 2021-04-30 02:46

@not-as-artistic Ah thanks for your constructive feedback. I'll keep this in mind for the next update

omnes-ludos 2021-04-30 11:46

cool game, jumping on enemies to get to places remembered about yoshi jump :_(

pune007 2021-04-30 12:09

@omnes-ludos haha, I just realized it was just like it

stin 2021-05-01 09:00

Cool mechanic that you should jump on enemies to get to places. Graphics is simple but cool

pune007 2021-05-01 09:33

@stin haha thanks

extar 2021-05-01 12:56

The last few screens are a real challenge but I appreciate short, fun jam games like this. The graphics are cool and stylish. I wish there were some more sounds in the game. Cool game :)​

pune007 2021-05-01 13:09

@extar I made the sfx during the last hour lmao. But I'm happy you liked the game

justcamh 2021-05-01 17:20

Hey matey, thanks for submitting your game to stream! I enjoyed playing it, here's the vod, I hope the feedback helps!

pune007 2021-05-02 03:25

@justcamh Haha yes, I was in the stream for a lot of time. Thanks a lot for playing it

caveman54 2021-05-02 05:18

I really like the look of this game. Great entry!

pune007 2021-05-02 05:47

@caveman54 Haha thanks

bionikmonster 2021-05-05 19:32

Hi, nice entry! The bombles pattern were not easy to predict in my opinion, their moves are a bit to "sharp". Even if the hit box is more than fair, it sometimes feels clunky to play. On more thing that is kinda misleading is letting a "blank" spot on the right of the screen just after a jump. What I mean is it's not, in my opinion, a good idea not too show the player where he's going to land.

As some people mentioned, there's a little lack of sound, but I think that's a minor problem for a game like this. I really appreciated the art and the naimation. Even if I think the "bouncing" animation is kind of bugged, indeed the animation continues even after landing, I guess that's not intentionnal.

Overall, that's a good entry! Keep up the good work :)

villanelle 2021-05-05 20:01

Good retro graphics and excellent sound effect for the bombles. I only disliked a little bit the player's jump height, but nothing major. Good job!

felo07 2021-05-05 22:38

hey man, i finished the game and I liked! nice graphics, maybe to add a music, it would be very nice. Also, you could do a less linear stages, to going down/top. good ideia, congrats =)

pune007 2021-05-06 04:35

@bionikmonster Thanks for the constructive feedback. I have to agree the animations are a bit buggy and the few levels are not the most well-designed but I'll try to fix the flaws in an update for the game

@villanelle and @felo07 haha thanks for the feedback and kind words

okamit 2021-05-18 10:41

Nice little game, nice simplistic graphics with great animations, especially for the bombs. I like the feeling when you jump on the enemies, but the falling speed feels a bit floaty and slow.

Overall, good job!

prof-suarez 2021-05-18 11:11

Cool game, simple mechanics, clean control. Great game for someone who plays a lot of platformers. wish there was more depth too it though, or larger puzzle like levels using the bounce off mechanic. There was another game I played where you can spawn bubbles too and control the bubbles. Just Ideas on how to expand a decent idea.

zuvr 2021-05-18 11:35

I loved the art style and animations, super cute!

neowhoru 2021-05-18 12:06

really nice game mate - i finished the whole game and had really fun playing it :) controls works like a charme :)

It would be cool if you add some more music, sfx etc. - but i also saw your new player sprite in the news feed and this looks pretty good.

Keep on the good work :)

pune007 2021-05-18 13:35

@okamit Ah thanks. I'll try to improve the controls a bit in the update

@prof-suarez That's a cool idea. Really happy you liked the game

@zuvr and @neowhoru Thanks haha, means a lot
