I really like the concept of gaining speed to continue playing. For some reason the game ended even though I still had time left according to the pie-counter. The music is also super catchy! I also that the animation for opening a portal was very well done, it almost looks like the player is slipping/diving into it. However, in terms of phasing, I think the speed penalty is too much.
I like the core mechanics here, but I had a hard time controlling the character in a fluid way. - The jump mechanic felt inconsistent or sometimes unresponsive. - The teleport mechanic was awesome and responsive, but I'd lose so much speed that it wasn't really worth it. - I'd sometimes experience my character slowing down to a halt and seemingly having no way to recover from that. - I wasn't sure what to do with bullet time :/
Overall, I like the foundations you have here, but there's some more tuning necessary to make this really shine.
You asked about the style and animation -- I liked it! Although the controls were difficult, the actual character movement was surprisingly fluid. There's definately areas for improvement, but where you did spend effort, I think it shows. Well done!
@the-neon-shark Thanks for the feedback! Yeah all of your points are valid; we should've spent a little less time on the programming and more on tuning the game. If only we had a bit more time...but time waits for no one ;)
@sprunth Thank you for the comments! I've always doodled stick figures but never thought they'd come in handy. Glad you like it!
Unusual funny game! I like cyberpunk style and your mechanics. Teleport is a really interesting decision! Unfortunately, I dont understand what right shift and key Q do. Thank for making this game!
Me interessante. Apesar de ter tido alguns problemas de gamedesign e polimento, a ideia é de certa forma criativa. A movimentação é o maior diferencial do jogo na minha opinião. Acho que falta algum tipo de desafio mais dinâmico no jogo. No geral, bom trabalho!
interesting game. I had difficult understanding the controls but figure out later. Art design was simple but fits the style which was 2d sprite animation. Audio with punk or techno feel that gave a good vibe.
