For me it is very hard, but the game idea is very interesting. Keep going!

mockthebear 2021-04-26 19:06

I think the aiming could be swinging instead of cancelling :D

lamamour 2021-04-26 19:08

@szymon-ogd Yeah really hard, I sometimes have troubles winning against the AI ahah

lamamour 2021-04-26 19:12

@mockthebear Hi! thanks for playing! Is it not already swinging? What do you mean by cancelling?

baarmaboi 2021-04-26 19:18

Nice design, using your own footing as ammo.

galina 2021-04-26 20:46

its really hard! and crazy ai. i always win cause ai jumping out. maybe its better to made it like step by step system?

lamamour 2021-04-27 07:25

@galina Ikr ahah, our ai likes to jump a lot and sometimes fall by itself in the lava. It was better at the end of the dev but you're right I will look into step by step system. Thanks for playing!

3eal0t 2021-04-27 08:21

I had a lot of fun when I finally figured out the controls :D It wasn't easy, and I feel like a pianist. Good game! I want to play again and again :D

aret24 2021-04-27 08:38

such an hard but fun game, also IA (intelegent android) that you have is like a bunny, jumping real fast.

no-grapes-games 2021-04-27 08:52

Interesting! This game has a really cool concept. This has a big learning curve with the controls but it's easy to grasp after a few lava dips. I like the look of the game too!

Nice work.

kazz96 2021-04-27 09:10

Really impressed by the art and the IA, the 3D is gorgeous. However aiming is very difficult, sometimes it doesn't trigger even if I hold the key. Nice work overall !

craplex 2021-04-27 09:14

THIS IS SO FUN. Difficult but fun and only two people made it. GREAT JOB.

P.S please add some kind of a local multiplayer.

anna-karpova 2021-04-27 09:33

cool artstyle! this reflectors remind me StarGate;))) funny game, good work!:)

lamamour 2021-04-27 09:36

@no-grapes-games @aret24 @kazz96 thank you so much for the feedbacks, it means a lot! We're aware the difficulty is high ahah

lamamour 2021-04-27 09:41

@craplex Thank youu!!!!! It was a really fun week-end for the both of us! :laughing: You can play with another player on the same keyboard if you select "Start 2 player"

@anna-karpova hihi thanks! I also see the resemblance :))

locustjin 2021-04-27 10:36

Nice idea, very unique. AI is good at this, better than I. Overall good job!

joedev 2021-04-27 11:09

This was very challenging but also a very fun time. It took me more attempts than I would like to admit to actually beat the AI more than once haha, but I managed it in the end. It took a bit of getting used to for aiming and shooting while keeping track of the platform, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I wish I had someone to play local multiplayer with, I think it would be a great 'party' game!

Great job :)

oeschmid 2021-04-27 12:23

This would be a fun party game, but even with the AI I had fun! I was able to win a few rounds ;) good job!

lamamour 2021-04-27 12:38

@locustjin @oeschmid Thanks a lot for your feedbacks and glad you had fun!!

@joedev hehe thanks, I personnally cannot beat the AI everytime! Yesssss, we love party games so that was the idea :smiley:

pandaderzwote 2021-04-27 13:09

Pretty fun and neat little game. Easily understood but kinda hard to master. Only thing I wish was for the second players projectile to share the colour of their aiming laser, gets confusing otherwise.

colapolka 2021-04-27 13:11

I had the pleasure of actually playing it 2 players on one keyboard - which always is a nice thing. It used to be so common to play with a friend cramped over a single keyboard. I applaud you for that nostalgia trip alone.

The game itself was fun and a novel idea. Though I found it a tiny bit confusing that the projectile of the 2nd player didn't match the color of it's ray. That would add more clarity I think.

Nice job!

lamamour 2021-04-27 13:19

@pandaderzwote @colapolka Thanks a lot for your feedbacks, it means a lot :smile: !! I totally agree with you both. At first the 2 players had the same laser colors and we changed that by the end of the development. Having bullets matching the laser would add more coherence

plopy86 2021-04-27 13:24

@pandaderzwote and @colapolka thx for your comments. And you are right for the projectile^^.

ladycerberus 2021-04-27 13:29

Game mechanics are innovative and pretty fun, well done!

hidjy 2021-04-27 13:30

Nice one, I can see that as a fun party game!

I feel like the bounce and destructible ground are enough for the chaotic aspect, maybe the aim could be totally manual.

smelly-games 2021-04-27 15:16

I like this a lot, but I'd BIG LIKE this if it felt less stiff.

elemental-zeal-game-studios 2021-04-27 17:35

I really liked the graphics in this entry. I managed to beat the AI on my first attempt but then lost on my next two :P

Personally I wasn't a big fan of the controls.

Overall well done :thumbsup:

pedonho 2021-04-27 18:53

Really fun game xd

nardandas 2021-04-28 05:23

Fun little game, the AI was really crazy strong! I had a lot of trouble aiming, and it wasn't quite clear at first what I had to hit. Once I figured it out... I managed to kill the AI enemy exactly once!

lamamour 2021-04-28 07:14

@smelly-games @nardandas @pedonho Thank you for playing Cliffhanger :smile_cat:

@elemental-zeal-game-studios ahah oops, good job for beating it on the first attempt!! thank youu :))

sirspite 2021-04-28 09:00

Very interesting idea about gameplay

mrscythe 2021-04-28 13:11

Fun little game to play with others. Kinda messed up and shot a little too many times and used up all my blocks xd

chewiecb 2021-04-28 13:53

Very cool mechanic with the reflection aiming and using your own platform as ammo for a risk vs reward mechanic, overall a well polished and fun game - great job!

zimny11 2021-04-28 17:34

Well polished. I had fun playing it. The game is difficult, but I don't find it as a downside at all!

nbumgardner 2021-04-28 20:28

Thanks for making a fun, challenging game! The AI was really good until I started jumping, then it started to beat itself by missing me and digging its own grave.

lamamour 2021-04-28 22:38

@sirspite @mrscythe @zimny11 @chewiecb thank you for playing, happy you had fun playing ^-^

@nbumgardner thank youuu!! Yeah I guess if you manage to dodge everytime it will head towards its death ahahah

marc-jones 2021-04-29 10:50

Very interesting game, would be a fun local multiplayer tournament style game. Aiming was quite difficult, but I imagine this would be greatly improved if it was remade to use controllers. I thought the idea of your platform being ammo and sort of your health was interesting, and being able to choose which cube to use added a base building aspect to the game.

greenblacksky 2021-04-29 14:20

Unusual and fun design, but controls are not very obvious. Or maybe it's just me. After I got that you need to actually press G twice - first time to absorb the cube and the second time to shoot - playing the game became fun)

duck-reaction 2021-04-29 21:08

Very polish game, the 3d is great and fx are very nice !

Agree with @greenblacksky controls on keyboard are not very obvious. I think a gamepad will be better. I enjoy the game speed and the mood.

It's very impressive to have make an AI in jam game. But there is an issue in gameplay, if you spam the fire button you can win every time against the AI.

Amazing job :muscle:

lamamour 2021-04-30 07:49

@marc-jones Thank you! Yes that's the feedback we received the most ^^ you totally understood what we were trying to do with the choice of cubes that is also your health :))

@greenblacksky You're right, it's not. I also think (if we keep it that way because we won't change the controls now for the jam) the control description could be clearer also so the player now he has to press G twice. Thank you for your feedback and thanks for playing :smiley:

@duck-reaction Thank you for playing and for the feedback, happy you enjoyed it!! :smile_cat: Well I just tried to spam the fire button and I was left with no ammo and I lost ahah but I guess that's one way to win

togis 2021-04-30 10:39

I uploaded our gameplay of your game on youtube, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.be/watch?v=1F0Ywiy2Mt8&t=13973s

Thanks for being part of the stream, it was amazing! :smile:

Finally a multiplayer game! I was waiting for one since I started testing! Thanks for that.

This is a fun take on 2 player fight.

It took me a while to understand the controls but once I got them, it was easy to use them.

I think the main point that confused me with them is the use of the same button to "reload a block" and to "shoot" but at the same time, it makes it easier to control once you understand the flow.

I don't know if there is an easy solution other than a better tutorial. Maybe you could not shoot when the long press on the G is shorter than a few milliseconds, to prevent accident premature shooting of block.

Overall, this was very fun! Félicitation à tous les deux!

pnkvrt 2021-04-30 12:36

Such a cool idea! Love the visuals, game was really fun. The controls were a bit confusing at first but I got the hang of it soon enough. I won the first round accidentally by just spamming the G button untill I understood how to aim :D. Would love to see more levels with bigger platforms and more directions to aim in. Very polish for such a short time. Really cool! Great work!

unagiv 2021-04-30 17:47

First game i try with a multiplayer game. Hard to get with the controls at first buti recommand to give it a try. Congrats @plopy86 and @lamamour

yword 2021-05-02 16:03

Cool, really nice graphics, great idea and it is fun to play too!

sleepystudios 2021-05-02 16:03

Really loved this! Everything was incredibly polished and the game was really easy to pick up. It's also really fun to watch this game because of how tense it gets when both players are down to their final few blocks. Well done!

frozenfire92 2021-05-02 16:10

Great entry! I loved the mechanic and how you destroyed your platform by firing shots. I could see with some iteration, more levels, and easier AI this being a really fun party game

lamamour 2021-05-03 15:24

@togis Thanks a lot, merci beaucoup !! It was fun to see you guys streaming our game and I was happy to discover your twitch. I'm glad you enjoyed the multiplayer part. We'll try to improve this control aspect you mentionned with the G key :smile:

@pnkvrt omg yess, we definetely have to fix this spam issue with the G key ahahah, thanks for playing and the feedbacks, it means a lot ^_^

@unagiv @yword Thank youuu !! :))

@sleepystudios We're glad you loved it! thanks a lot

@frozenfire92 Happy to hear you loved the mechanic! Thanks for playing :smiley:

shakedimus 2021-05-12 19:48

I think the concept is pretty cool and I can imagine it being fun playing with somebody. I played against the AI and beat it a couple of times but in the beginning I thought way the shooting worked with holding the key was very annoying after a while I got the hang of it though. Still I think this mechanic is a bit annoying although playing with somebody else it might lean more towards funny. I think the sounds and graphics give it a nice mood and I did have fun. Overall a pretty good entry but I think this one would improve a lot with playtesting.
