Cool platformer with **high quality** skins! Kinda difficult, but that's not a bad thing
I agree, it’s kind of difficult, but well done on the game jam entry!
Pretty funny platformer. Just wish I could remap ze francais controls pour mon dirty UK WASD keyboard :grin:
@connor-magson if u ever find urself playing another game with this problem which shouldn't happen (we just forgot about it xD) U can download & add a language to your keyboard by searching "keyboard" or "language" in your windows parameters. Thx for the feedbacks too !
@jyzz Ahh! Merci for the tip, mon ami :laughing:
@connor-magson de rien xD baguette
A typical platformer with no frills, alas.
This is a great solid platformer. Just the right amount of difficulty. Took a second to figure out the keyboard.
First time loading in, I was unaware of the French keyboard controls, thanks @jyzz for the tip on switching languages. I had a much better time playing the game with french keyboard. Other than that it looked good, had good particle effects and the music kept the mood up.
I think if the slipperiness of the controls were adjusted a bit, it would feel better. Also it was really jarring when the character didn't move with the moving platforms. Still, nice job making something like this over a weekend! It's a good foundation for sure.
Pretty hard to control the melon for me. Camera controls were good though. Also I hadn't seen a RAR file in a long time, you might get more ratings if you used zip. I liked the smoke/fog effects and the graphics looked quite nice for being basic shapes.
Neutral: Platforms - The ball doesn't move with the platforms. Adds difficulty but perhaps too much for some.
The Bad: Quit/Menu - Nice menu but I always have to ctrl+shift+esc to quit the game. Then relaunch for menu.
Camera - In the windy section the camera is waaaay too zoomed in to be able to make the next jump or two. A respawn point is needed at beginning of the windy section at least.
Controls - They just feel... off lol.
The Good: Skins - Multiple skins for player character. All make sense as they are spherical.
Respawn Points - Definitely necessary for player to maintain their sanity.
Theme and Audio - Music isn't annoying and great theme and use of textures.
Falling Platforms - Neat addition. Check out my game, I love falling objects lol.
Overall: A game with good thought behind it, level design especially. I am determined to beat it and won't be deleting it off my PC until I do. Plus the game size is tiny! It's entertaining and difficult. The combo of camera and controls make it extremely difficult to get past pillars, but hey that just means I'll play it longer, yet in more sessions since I may get frustrated and quit. It was a good result from 72 hrs of game dev and this was only my 2nd jam so props for taking a step out of your comfort zone and trying something new. Learning and trying new things is what it's all about. Great job you three!
