That's a really fun little game. I don't know if it's intentional, but Q/D being used to move left and right really confused me. At first I was using arrow keys, but then in level 3 I switched to using letters and picking up the key I would try to go left by pressing A and I couldn't, took me good 10 or so deaths to figure out that left was Q not A, other than that, well done!

@dilem Damn thank you, i totally forgot to change that! I'm using an AZERTY keyboard, so i changed the usual WASD into ZQSD for testing, but didn't changed it back. I'm not sure that it counts as a bugfix, so i'll leave it like that just to be sure i don't go against the rules, but i will be able to prevent other people thanks to you!

Quite fun take on the dissolving blocks for the platformer. Well done

This is good, no need to be so humble in your description :smiley_cat: I got tricked on Level 3 (I think) where you have to leap _over_ some ... well played ...

Thanks for submitting this, enjoyed playing.

Great entry, I love the little squash n stretch on the guy, the puzzles are really creative as well. I feel as if the jump is a little floaty though, like the character is in space. If you continue this in the future consider changing the physics a little to make satisfyingly good jumps. Well done!

Le jeu est cool ^^ Pas trop dur ni trop facile, les mécaniques sont intéressantes aussi. Le point faible que je pourrais donner c'est peut-être que le jeu est un peu lent? On a la gravité lunaire ce qui fait un peu bizarre x) Mais sinon c'est très bien joué :)

A fun little game. I liked how the main character makes a ^_^ face when the collect the key.

Something I noticed the aerial movement is that if you are jumping in a certain direction, you will maintain your momentum. However, if you jump in a direction, then tap back in the opposite direction, you will come to a complete stop. That's something that almost feels like a bug, but could be a neat mechanic if you expand upon that.

@z0rly @doc-kaos @spacespytv @mathiouza @fakefirefly Thank you all for playing and for your feedbacks! Sorry for the impersonal reply, i really appreciate it still!

Overall a really solid platformer, the jump was a bit floaty for my liking, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless :D

@slimmerburger Thank you! Glad you liked it! :smile:

Seems like a solid platformer, I don't play them that much, but the controls and everything else seems to be alright. Had trouble at level 3, I at first thought that you can jump just on the other side of a platform and only it will break, but that's not the solution to the level.

Was a fun little game. All the little touches in the character animation work very well. Agree with others that the jump was a bit too floaty, but it only caused me issues in level 9.

Very fun little game, going for the Compo takes balls :) Getting the timing for jumps right is not always easy, but I enjoyed your submission.

Welcome to Ludum Dare!

The game itself, like you said, is nothing groundbreaking, but a sweet little project. And as a platformer it performs its mission quite well! Good Job!

I think this was a fairly decent game. One thing, the "A" key doesn't work - at least for me. Some things I would change are the floaty jump and responsive controls. I liked how there were 10 levels. I felt like I actually accomplished something when I completed the game. Nice work for your first jam :)

Very fun to play. I really like the level design.

kit-gorn 2021-10-05 02:46

Quite a good platformer.

senso 2021-10-05 09:36

Nice platformer keep it up !

beck-haywood 2021-10-05 15:47

Fun platformer I enjoyed playing, thanks for making.

rumiaobsessed 2021-10-06 21:58

The game is fun, but has some minor problems with flow. Players have to stop before most of the jumps to align themselves. There's no routes where you could just sprint through. The love the character animation and expressions!

fun platformer 5/5

THEME ON. you got the theme for sure. There was a moment at the beginning where i loved it. That's great! Then it got a little ... tedious where i had to do the same things over and over again. It's hard to describe, but i liked the measure of control over where i was landing. Took me a bit to figure out that you could move the other direction at the beginning with the qwerty vs zqd or whatever format it was. :-) nice entry! bbzzttt! (we did win!)

Great platforming puzzles and cute character. Would have been nice to know when I got to the last level though, I thought I had accidentally selected replay instead of continue but there wasn't a continue :)
