Lavafall is cool :)
Cool game Rumme! Very fun once I got into a groove. Sweet graphics, lovely music, sound was nicely mixed I never got tired of it. Loved the anime speed lines on the dash. really nice work. Don't know if you remember me but I hope you're doing well! rumme.png
@seanarooni Thanks mate! And yea ofc I remember you ;) I didn't make the audio/music. It was some royality free stuff I found or had laying around. Which is also why I opted out in that category. I saw you made a game too. I will be sure to check it out when I get time :)
Quite an awesome game! Very simple and addicting.
Hi,
nice game. Exit menu crashes the game - but ok, i can exit the game. Fun concept, but i don't get for which reason i have to use short jump.
Well done! However, I felt that the controls were somewhat frustrating. Specifically, I did not like that being off the ground (even slightly) prevented a superjump. This was frustrating because there are many times where I thought I was on the ground, but I was a half second away from landing so the jump didn't execute. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the final level :)
nice submission! clear and clean mechanics and gameplay. might have been cool to allow the mouse click super jump to be initiated while in the air also, rather than just when grounded - i found myself trying to course-correct from bad jumps. also who is LoganEzhno? :)
Great visual style. I kept dying because the super jump felt like a dash, and I kept trying to "dash" after jumping. Once I got the hang of it, it was very fun to shoot through the levels at max speed!
@adonisdevs Thanks! I should probably have written that you can pre-superjump. If you hold it before you land, it will jump the frame you land :)
Jumping felt good after I figured out the controls. I only wish it had a double jump in the game.
@miej Thanks for the feedback. I made the game while streaming on Twitch, and decided to place some screenshots of some of my viewers messages for fun :)
I love the music(I know you didn't make it, but it fits the game idea) and the visuals is also really good. The game idea is overall simple and fun. And I had fun trying the game, but for me did the superjump worked very poorly and I therefor never able to get very far into the game. But overall a pretty good game.
Really great game, I had a lot of fun with it. Would have been great to have move levels that got harder and more variety in the caves but I'm sure that's more because of the time limit than anything. The graphics were great and the movement felt fantastic. One thing that tripped me up though is that I kept wanting to use the super jump in the air after I had jumped normally 😋.
The gameplay is really fun and the environment looks really nice! Had a lot of fun playing it. It's a nice expandable concept aswell. I can already see "mario like" fireballs jumping out of the lava.
Tell LoganEzhno I said hi! Oh and uhm... tell him that I think that... Lavafalls are cool! :)
I think you had had lots of fun making this game and that shows because it turned out amazing! :-)
Great game, loved the feel of the movement and the dashing. The music really helped me get into the feel of the parkour flow and the art style was very nice.
I noticed that I could spam the dash whenever I was on the ground and I could jump out of the dash (but not the other way around). I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but it really adds a lot of speed to the game which I found was the most fun, however the levels didn't really lend themselves to this. I think making the level design more linear (I.e less unnecessary platforms), and allowing the player to jump->dash would encourage the speedy play style which I found to be the most engaging.
Overall a great game. Good job
Nice game :) I had a lot of fun with the movement mechanic! Very satisfying to fly across your maps :)
Lava falls are cool 😂
Overall an pretty relaxing and entertaining experience. It took some time to get used to the super jump mechanic, but when I mastered it, I raided the game, but it took longer than @seanarooni s 19 sec. Maybe some enemies would be nice too, but good, fast and intuitive game!
@swen Thanks! And yes, me and my chat had a lot of fun in the 12 hours i spent on the game :D I see you found the "easteregg", and I told Ezhno you said hi ;)
Very nice game! I had lots of trouble at first, finding out you have to touch ground to superjump took me a long time and also I didn't understand that you could aim it up to jump higher. But once you get it, it start to be pretty fun and you can sometimes make several impressive jumps in succession. However I think there should be a bit of leeway (coyote time if you know the term) so that you can superjump just after pressing regular jump. I mess that up a lot of time, pressing the buttons in the wrong order and not jumping very far. The platforms have little bumps that sometimes saves you (great) but sometimes can also block you a bit randomly (not so great). Anyway, it's a good entry and I like the graphics too.
I love it ! Just two recommandations : - add a leaderboard so i can show who's best (and spend hours on it, because i'm not good but I'm a tryhard) - allow to superjump after a jump. It is possible to jump after a superjump but not the opposite, which is quite frustrating, I often have the reflex to jump instead of superjump...
Other than that the game is really cool !
@jrevel Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to add a global leaderboard, but was too busy over the weekend to have time to figure out how. I have mostly worked with Steam Leaderboards and not much else.
A speedy straight forward FPS platformer, great stuff!
Loving the low poly models and the chill music.
Movement is very solid and the only crit I have is similar to @jrevel you can superjump and jump, but not jump and superjump which feels a bit frustrating. I almost feel like you could design the game around superjumping only even, and have the ability to superjump only once in some levels, and later on have to chain them together maybe. Love the sense of speed you get and the speed lines/visual effects of that.
Throw in some moving obstacles/projectiles, I think you've got the complete package. Or even as it is currently with just a "the floor is lava" deal works great.
Solid entry and great job.
Freaking love everything about this game :). The soundtrack goes really well with speed jumping over lava. The super-jump mechanic is just so fun and trying to figure out the best route through a level is just really satisfying. Really like the level design as well, it feels really thought out with a lot of shortcuts and strategies to get through every rock and crevice. I guess the only complaint is that maybe add where you can jump then super-jump like everyone was suggesting. Even then, the controls feel really nice to handle and fluid to play (It's like 3D Celeste!). The minor details such as the anime speed-lines add so much and make it so fun to dash! The minimalist 3-D graphics are excellent for this type of gameplay and don't feel too distracting yet have enough detail that when you zoom by the environment it feels so satisfying (Reminds me of Clustertruck!). Overall, one of my favorites from the jam and I hope you continue to do something with this game!
