You have a very well put together game here, I played it through to the end.

I did have a usability issue where I had a hard time reading the text on the ground. It just wasn't super visible to me. But overall, great job!

Very complete game, congrats ! I love the music, voices and end level sound, they go all together very well (I like the others a bit less tho). The gameplay is pretty good, it's the right length for a jam game and the last level especially flows well.

Sorry, but the HTML5 version won't start!

purpledartfrog 2021-10-05 12:10

I got stuck on one of the walls - congrats on your entry :thumbsup_tone1:

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

@bougiebirdie @yorsh Thank you for your feedback! :smile:

@turegrappa What browser are you using? Sometimes, clearing the cache and then reloading the page does the job.

@purpledartfrog Do you recall what kind of wall it was (runnable, basic, ...)? In any event, thank you for your feedback! :smile:

fliflifly 2021-10-05 12:23

It was cool, I did it ! :D i did it.png Levels are not too long et very differents :-)

mrchip 2021-10-05 12:29

Somewhat clunky movement, HTML version works for me but as with seemingly every other FPS game wasnt an ideal experience due to low/irregular framerate

darthboseiju 2021-10-05 12:31

I enjoyed it! the first time I mantled caught me by surprise, in good way. it would be nice if the wallrun transition was slightly smoother, and if you manage to wall run right at the bottom theres some mesh clipping visible - but good!

purpledartfrog 2021-10-05 13:57

@fluffygamedev Sorry don't actually remember... I suppose it was actually the floor near a "step up" or something along those lines.

fluffygamedev 2021-10-05 16:17

@fliflifly Good job! And thank you for your feedback! :smile:

@mrchip Thank you for your feedback! I probably should avoid going for FPS games in the future. This isn't the first time I have those kinds of issues. ^^'

@darthboseiju Thank you for your feedback! I recall encountering this bug. I probably should fix it for v1.0.2. ^^'

@purpledartfrog Oh! I see! I think I encountered this a couple times while working on the game. I believe it's possible to get unstuck pretty easily by walking backwards but I hope it didn't ruin you experience too much. ^^' Anyway, thank you for your help ! :slight_smile:

mrchip 2021-10-05 17:45

Well the framerate is most likely my fault for being too lazy to play the downloaded version

aderpychickenstudios 2021-10-05 18:35

Fun little 3d puzzle platformer. I really liked the order in which the levels were play. The way you taught the mechanics was well thought out great job incorporating the unstable theme by using platforms and the floor! The jump sound reminded me of old school shooter games which was a nice throwback and I am always a sucker for caves so that drew me in awesome game!

evokesoul 2021-10-06 16:17

This was quite fun to play and I really enjoyed the sound effect when the character jumped!

betamorfosis 2021-10-06 17:11

Really cool game. Nice music and controls. Noticed a little bug where the UI disappears from time to time which is odd. But overall great experience!

glaikunt 2021-10-06 19:42

Awesome little game! The progression in it is so well done, that's really hard to do during a jam but you done it perfect. The last level was really fun to do knowing everything that I had to do to complete it! Amazing entry, good job!

mathiouza 2021-10-07 02:16

Great game!

It put me in action pretty quickly! I liked it! The game was a bit simple though, I mean it wasn't difficult enough. The mechanics are good and the music hectic. We are running, we don't know why, but we run, because of the music x)

Solid gameplay too!

Great entry overall!

frogravity 2021-10-07 09:33

Very nice game! I really liked the graphics and sounds. The wall running was cool, even though it doesn't really make sense (but then again, it's a game, being cool is more important :)). I had a bug where the first black booster had the wall running tutorial instead of the booster's one (I was playing on 1.0.1), and I managed to cheese a few parts by jumping on rocks in the wall, but other than that, great entry!

pdotjpg 2021-10-07 21:49

Nice little platformer, well done! The different gameplay mechanics are all pretty entertaining (wallrunning is always a great addition), and you've strung them together into some very nice obstacle courses (good difficulty curve). Movement felt a bit sluggish, jumping into and out of wallruns was a little finicky, and I think if I was developing this game, I'd make the character run forward automatically. But overall a polished and fun experience!

jeremyfa 2021-10-08 15:23

Nice puzzle platformer game! It was a good idea to add tutorial info right onto the walls. It makes it easy to pick up the controls. The progression of difficulty is also pretty good, but I'll have to try the game again to go further as I didn't reach the end. The music was also good! Good job!

bridgeonastick 2021-10-08 15:24

Very nice game, the difficulty was just hard enough. Really loved the audio here, the music fits really well. The different mechanics are explained very well, and they each have their own tutorial level which is really nice. Sometimes the movement feels a bit too floaty, and the jump does not always register. Overall I enjoyed it!

very-dark-lord 2021-10-08 15:27

Great mood, I really like the look and feel and what you did with the audio. I'm not quite sure if I made it to the end - at some point the game said "Thanks for playing", but it happened pretty randomly without me having finished a level, I think. Also, there generally were a lot of bugs involved for me, sorry to report that! :D

- fullscreen in Firefox was practically unplayable as the mouse controls were pure chaos. Small version works well though - after dying 3 times or so, everything turned way brighter than before - the restart menu with the two buttons was glitchy, I usually had to hit the Restart button twice, sometimes one button would remain after restarting and only fade away later while playing - the first 5-8 levels roughly worked OK, then weird things started to happen and I often won the level very unexpectedly - which ultimately made me win the game apparently :D

Good work though

recursor 2021-10-08 15:32

I enjoyed the whole experience from the low-poly style to the sfx and music. I did feel a few times that the jumping would not register my keypress but that did little to takeaway from my overall experience. Nice job.

@aderpychickenstudios, @evokesoul, @betamorfosis, @glaikunt, @mathiouza, @frogman, @pdotjpg, @jeremyfa, @bridgeonastick, @recursor

Thank you all for your feedback ! :smiley:

fluffygamedev 2021-10-08 15:48

@very-dark-lord

I'm actually surprised you encountered so many issues. This is the first I hear of some of those bugs. O.o In any event, thank you for reporting all that! It's really helpful! :smiley:

I hope those bugs didn't ruin the game experience too much. ;)

blutgruppedigital 2021-10-08 16:35

Did not make it. :)

m0dsat 2021-10-08 16:47

Thanks for the game. Controls are a little clunky, jumps not always registering when I want them to etc. Had fun trying the different levels. Really liked the tutorial, and getting to see the challenges your mastered early appear again later.

fluffygamedev 2021-10-08 17:31

@blutgruppedigital Sorry to hear that.🙁 Is there anything in particular that prevented you from making it? (Ex: bugs, difficulty, ...)

@m0dsat Thank you for your feedback. I have a few ideas to make the controls better. 😉

blutgruppedigital 2021-10-09 13:15

@fluffygamedev Noo, it was just me and my gaming skills! :P I am more of an Point and Click adventure type of gamer. :P Just need some more practice! :)

nyxkn 2021-10-12 20:30

Really well done game! The controls work very smoothly and it makes for a very fun ninja-like experience.

daniikk1012 2021-10-13 17:25

Good game. I suppose you are supposed to finish the last level using wall running but I just launched myself with the maximum speed by catapulting while sprinting and managed to fly between two wooden platforms using regular jumps.

flogames 2021-10-13 20:27

Yay, I made it to the artifact! I like the graphics and the mood of the setting, it's challenging but not too hard. A few complaints: - It's a bit too dark to anticipate the hazards (especially the pits) properly - To be honest the sound effects (running speedboost, jump) were rather annoying and kind of worked against the mood, maybe tune them down a little - wall jumping was very hard, I often missed the wall :D

Apart from that, I had fun, especially when I could chain-jump several platforms in a row, I like that feeling of flow. If you want to expand the game the flow is probably something you can explore even more. A solid entry!

fluffygamedev 2021-10-14 08:46

@nyxkn Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it!

@daniikk1012 I actually haven't tried to finish the level that way. I'll have to try. :laughing: Thank you for the feedback!

@flogames Good job! I totally agree with your feedback. There are a couple of audio clips I made in a hurry to submit the game in time. So the audio clips don't all fit well together. =/

quanperfect 2021-10-21 12:50

There is some problem with jump input and that's the reason why I didn't want to finish the game, unfortunately. Like 20% of my jumps weren't registering.

Other than that the game is amazing and I would really want to finish it but some time later :) Ground crumbling sound is hilarious, music is great! Thanks and good luck!
