At first , I was sceptical by the lack of screenshots on your Ludum Dare page . But actually , your game is pretty good ! One of the best I played so far . You should market yourself more , and put screenshots on your Ludum Dare page ! The only problem on this game is the menu , and pause button , that were not really well done . I suppose you were just short of time .
I played your game and had a lot of fun it's really cool and has really nice mechanics ! GG guys keep up!
Cool game - a lot of mechanics and visuals implemented! Nice Job.
Excellent little puzle platform game ! very fun with a good level design and polish level ! nice !
I really love the graphics! It really works with the effects you put in and the mood is spectacular!
verry funny game, like it :)
The parallax effect is a bit confusing (it also continues when walking against a wall). I liked the game though ;)
yeah, we posted the game 30min before the end so we didn't have time to correct many bugs (paralax, exit, cinematic of the rope)
Don't diminish yourselves guys ! The game over screen made me sad ! It's a simple yet good platformer. I wish there were more puzzles/trials like the one where you had to jump and use the pickaxe at the same time. It would have added some challenge to the game. The polish is really good.
The background is splendid, and i love the vibrant colors of the foreground. However these two are not in the same artstyle at all and it feels a bit disjointed. (But i'm being a bit picky here)
Keep up the good work !
@theapplecake thanks for the feedback, the background is from an asset whereas all the others are from @rouesoify and there is not enough puzzle yes, and as for the screen, we didn't have time to correct these problems
It was an enjoyable experience, with a lot to do with very little, nice work !
needs a bit more polish on them graphix, but overall, it has potential of becoming really good
Great work! I liked the physics interactions a lot, they were really fun. The parallax effect should definitely go the other way (background should be moving slower than the foreground) but I liked the way the cave background gave the scene a lot of depth. I'm impressed at the number of different interactions that you fit it, would have been good to add more, like a sand section or a bigger mining section. The graphics are charming and the minimalist pixel art makes it feel like a classic flash game which I liked. If you had more time it would be cool if the colours were a bit darker to help feel like a cave. The sound effects worked really well though and it had a kind of mysterious atmosphere. Overall I really liked this one, good job!
very nice game! and even that i cant give you the 5 stars for it, the sound is very well matching the game and it feels very well and i did actually not see bugs
It was a cute little game! Good job guys! :D I enjoyed the mood that you were trying to bring out!
You've made a great game! I don't know, what you could change about it.
Good job on this game. The physics mechanics of the game was something in common with our LD48 game. I think the parallax was kinda messed up though and the graphics could have used some more polish. Overall I would say this was a good effort!
The ambience was great! I thought a moster was gonna jump at me the entire time. The cave backdrop graphics was very cool to look. Good game!
Quite an interesting game you got going :D Would've loved to see more puzzles
A really nice and cute game, it is short, but it is also a great platforming experience. I also really like the fact that the objects are almost all physics based and interactable which adds to the fun. The controls also feel really smooth and nice to play ( except when you're in water and you want to go on a box ).
But the mood is actually the best point, the background music combined with the level design and the cave background really gives the sensation of being inside an enormous cave. I also really like the ores in the ground as details, that's a nice idea.
It's a very nice plartformer. I really liked the vibrant assets and how polish the game is. Like others already said, I would have love more puzzles and interactions between the tools but the game is already pretty fun
Well done. Cool game :) Works good. I like that the obstacles were different and you needed to use all the tools. Sound effects are great :)
A cute little game. Needs a little bit of work on the sound effects, how to cut them off at the right time. Really nice moody atmosphere.
@taikinaaa, we had a lack of time but we will correct all the bugs and add cinematics and a life system after the end of the jam
Very interesting game, the decors are exceptional, one easily clings to the game.
Jeu très intéressant, les décors sont exceptionnels, on accroche facilement au jeu.
Simple yet complex game :D Graphics are solid but most importanly the gameplay is perfect. Overall nice Game. Good job!
Good game, the pixelart, layered background and illumination are on point. The music and overall isolation create a creepy atmosphere. I liked the three different mechanics, I think the shovel could have very interesting uses, but I guess you ran out of time.
My biggest problem with the game was the UI, the icons were too big and they were almost in the middle of the screen.
Good job!
Nice concept! The mechanics felt pretty good. I noticed that the sound effects were really weird at times, though, the grass sound would still play when jumping or swimming. Other than that, I liked it!
At first sight, the game didn't attract me (I'm not a fan of this style of graphics) but OMG it was so entertaining, the game is at the right difficulty level and it's long to finish :) Anyway, congratulations to you guys
Really great feel and aesthetic and great platforming. Wish there more to collect along the way! Great game overall
Not a complicated beautiful game, bright graphics, good sound))
Exit button does not work :с
Neat little game. I especially liked the variety of interactions--there's boxes, bridges, the pickaxe stones, the chains with the gun, and the sand with the shovel. Then there's also the various water interactions. All of this is really cool as it means the game is constantly providing new interactions--which I think is pretty fun.
I did run into an issue where the first time I played the box that is supposed to be on top of the sand either disappeared or got stuck in the ceiling with the sand (I'm not sure exactly what happened). Either way, I was stuck, and I had no idea there was even supposed to be a box--I had to restart and then I figured out that something had definitely gone wrong there.
One other thing I liked was dropping down the cliffs and having the camera desperately try to catch up. That was pretty fun.
Wasn't expecting this to be a fun platformer, but it definitely was! Truly enjoyed this short, yet very neat game <3
