Game is nice looking and very polished. Kinda difficult to move and sometimes can't calculate where to move because of the colliders. Mechanics reminds me of the TNT Run game from Minecraft Hypixel server but in a good way! Overall it's a good project.
Congratz on the game! Loved the graphics, found it deceptively hard, couldn't beat it.
Overall very fun! The difficulty was quite high, it took me a lot of tries on keyboard before I finally picked up a controller and beat it (it plays a lot better with a controller!) The art was amazing and I would have loved to see some more nightmare levels!
Really like the graphics and music! Fun game too but I found the character controller a bit hard to control.
Not half bad. The slippery movement is a little obnoxious, but the way the visuals progress the further you fall is a nice touch. Nice work!
This game is so adorable!! It really feels like in a dream world, great job ^^
Really nice graphics and music ! Wasn't able to beat the game though, there's a little inertia in the character that makes it hard to control
Very cool style. The graphics and audio are top notch, but the unresponsive controls ruin the experience a bit. Overall great job!
WOW! I love how eldritch the art becomes as you fall deeper and deeper. The artwork is outstanding! I also love how there are multiple audio tracks that get swapped in as the game gets more nightmarish. Seriously well done!
What a great game to come out of a jam!
Things I liked:
- The art was really nice looking and I was impressed by the amount of unique sprites and animations that were in the game. The character designs were perfect and really gave off that creepy Little Nightmares vibe. - The music fit the mood really well. I loved how things got more sinister as time went on. - The dash felt good to use and was working properly - The re-use of assets was done really well by using recolors for new levels
Things that I think could be improved:
- The run felt a little too slidey/floaty for me. I would have liked some more precision. The collision boxes could probably be reduced a little as well - The goal of the game wasn't too clear to me. Am I just trying to stay alive for as long as possible each level? I eventually figured it out but was confused for the whole first playthrough - I think it fit the theme pretty well but why would I want to stay asleep as long as possible if I'm having such bad nightmares? - The gameplay felt a little shallow. All you really do is run in circles and dash when you get stuck on an object
Overall, I think this game is just incredible art and sound-wise. Great job!
Good job on the graphics and polished animations! Very well done!
The art is really amazing! I like the idea and the theme fits well also. But I experience sometimes a small freeze on Windows machine when falling down.
I liked the idea of this game a lot, although I did not really understand the connection with the theme. What are we delaying? But honestly I don't have a big problem with that :)
The art was great and really went from nice and comfortable to weird and creepy. I think the change of colors was also great and really communicated the feelings of the main character. I liked the idea of the gameplay as well and thought it was really smart that you put those random obstacles everywhere. I tried just going column by column to survive the maximum amount of time, but those obstacles quuickly put an end to that :D
My main problem with the game (others have mentioned it as well) is the slidey movement and the very slow reaction to my input. When I am walking right and suddenly press left the character can easily slide off the platform even though I pressed left. This together with the fact that it is not really clear exactly how far I could walk before I would fall off annoyed me a bit sometimes. For the dash I had a similar problem where it was difficult to judge the distance it would go for some reason. I would often just dash into a hole by accident. Another small problem is that sometimes I died at very start of a new level because I ran straight into an obstacle before I even really had time to get my bearings. Maybe it is just because I am bad at the game though, so do with that information whatever you want :D
Of course all of my criticism is very personal and strongly depends on my personal preference of games. If the game works as you intended and is what you were going for then that is of course the best :) Very solid submission to the jam!
The visuals are top-notch. I really liked that every descent became more and more eerie until we were on a full blown nightmare. The soundtrack is pretty good as well.
The controls kinda bothered me at the beginning, but what was a bit frustrating to me is that the game itself was very unforgiving. One false move and I was down a floor with little chance to recover.
Other than that, I was rather impressed by the amount of different objects and their details. Good job!
I really enjoy the style, the art is really good. I did find it a bit hard to play, but I like the feel of it
This art is soooo polished! Amazing work.
Crazy good looking art as many have said already! And a fun concept for a game that fits very nicely with the theme. Reminds me of a certain mini-game in fall guys, in a good way! Love the gameplay, lots of fun and I am SO bad at it 😂 good job!
This was a good entry for a jam game. I really liked the fantastic art put into the game. Sadly I was deeply confused on what the goal was. I didn't know if falling was good or bad. It wasn't communicated well for me. Maybe some HUD numbers would have helped cleared that up.
Amazing, both art and gameplay feels high quality. I had a great time playing it until it frozen after falling to the next floor. Maybe it's something to do with the Safari browser. Good job!
Interesting, if confusing?
Deceptively hard. The camera angle makes it hard to stand on only 1 tile so I couldn't finish the game despite my best efforts. I enjoyed it regardless though and think the art looks beautiful and having different themes for each level makes it looks visually stunning and unique.
The aesthetics are very polished, appreciate the different vibes throughout the game! The mood was set really nicely.
I agree with others that the movement is a bit too slippery. Also, I often got stuck at the border of the level when approaching it and trying to go along the outer platforms. I think it would be better to either let the player fall down at the edge or make the border collision let us slide on it (now it seems to make the player stop or forget buttons held or something).
Nice pixel art and cool music! The movement feels a bit weird, but besides that, great job with the game.
