Annoying... yes, but also a fun challenge. Hidden gaps tho, ooof. Not sure how I feel about the Mute button :laughing: Nice entry!

zimny11 2022-10-03 14:56

@liam Thanks for playing :) The gaps are not that hidden as it looks like. Also, sorry about Mute button ;)

lukas0842 2022-10-03 15:13

Entertaining and funny game. Also bit sus...

zimny11 2022-10-03 15:24

@lukas0842 Thank you for stopping by to play my game!

It's pretty decent and the platforming is very consistent. I'm not a huge fan of troll mechanics but once I noticed how to tell the fake blocks apart they weren't too bad to avoid. Very nice.

zimny11 2022-10-04 17:58

@soshjam Thanks! I glad to hear you liked it :)

bqq 2022-10-04 22:57

Neat platformer with some funny details sprinkled in, I got unfortunately stuck on the fourth level already. I might just have an extra smooth brain but couldn't get it (I figured out the sussy blocks and saw the arrow back, but nowhere to go for the finish). Wish there was a restart button in a game like this but otherwise the game feels good to play, nice work!

zimny11 2022-10-04 23:03

@bqq Thank you for playing and for your feedback! I totally forgot about reset button, my bad. The name of the level is a hint, try to drop down here or there ;)

bqq 2022-10-04 23:13

@zimny11 Ah thanks for the tip, got to the next level with some trial and error, but started losing my sanity on the next level. Tight time limit and troll levels are just a cruel combination :D Love the parallax background btw!

Everything about it seemed polished / like it was working as intended. Difficulty ramped up really well and I never felt like the game was **too** unfair (it was just the right amount of unfair). Liked the graphics and sound the mute button was as great as it was terrible.

As much as I enjoyed the whole thing (I played through to the end and enjoyed every minute in a frustrated kind of way) maybe my favorite part was the intro screen..

belonzik 2022-10-05 08:43

A pretty solid game! Definitely achieves its goal of being a rage/troll platformer without being completely unfair. Appreciate the hints with the fake blocks and such. Music fits it perfectly too...

coderaurus 2022-10-05 17:24

Solid troll platformer. I felt the lack of coyote time in level 5 a bit too much. Regardless, the presentation and hint to mario/kaizo with the tune is a nice touch.

Good job!

zimny11 2022-10-05 17:36

@bqq Thanks for giving it another try!

@thaprofesional Thank you so much for your kinds words :) I'm really happy to hear that someone liked my sense of humor!

@belonzik Thanks for playing and for your comment!

@coderaurus Thank you! Maybe I did get over the board with difficulty on some levels, but all of them are doable, and some of them in more that one way :) I can't believe someone got the reference to Mario music!

jaykayey 2022-10-05 19:40

Great job! It reminded me a bit of cat mario, and it managed to annoy me just as much. The movement felt pretty good and the 10 second timer was enough to get my heart pumping. Awesome music and art style as well!

zimonitrome 2022-10-05 19:53

I hated every part of this.

5/5

zimny11 2022-10-05 20:31

@jaykayey Thank you! I'm happy to hear you had fun.

@zimonitrome And I love your comment ;) Thanks for playing.

rob6566 2022-10-06 10:10

I cannot overstate how much rage this game induced. It needed an "end this misery" button (not sure whether to kill the character or quit the game). :rage: Imposter blocks :rage: false flags :rage: mute button. Got to 11. 5/5.

zimny11 2022-10-06 10:48

@rob6566 Thanks for playing! Awesome suggestion with the "end this misery" button XD Also, what level 11? Real one, or the one game is "telling you"? Because in-game level numeration is also a troll and is incorrect on purpose :P

rob6566 2022-10-06 11:06

@zimny11 - Of course the level numbering is a troll! It was the spikes level.

dodyman 2022-10-09 02:37

Maddening and addictive! Good job!

gagapete 2022-10-10 04:45

Got stuck at level 4 where I found two of the _pranks_ but no goalpost. Nice game, controls are a bit off (sliding off the edges) but other than that I like it. I put it on my _Play later_ list so may I'm going to revisit it sometime.

zimny11 2022-10-10 16:00

@dodyman Thanks for taking your time to play my game!

@gagapete I agree, controls could be a bit better. For level 4, the level name is a hint ;)

jamdong15 2022-10-12 07:45

I've rated a lot of games so far, and this is one of the few that made me crack a big smile while playing-- and the first to do so before the game even started LOL. Love the intro screen, love (and also hate) the mute mechanic, platforming was annoyingly fun, and just the right amount of troll-y. Really solid entry. 5/5 in terms of humor, LOL. Congratulations on a great entry :)

Lastly, and I hate to do this, but just wanted to quickly plug my game for a rating as well (https://ldj.am/$303168). Any feedback would be appreciated as this was our first ever Ludum Dare. :D

zimny11 2022-10-12 08:43

@jamdong15 Thanks you so much for your comment! It means a lot to me that someone like my game! And do not worries, I always play games back for anyone that commented under my game :) It just takes me longer this time, since I have less free-time, in comparison to previous LDs.

mar3k 2022-10-14 15:28

A very nice and enjoyable platformer. It was quite challenging, so I appreciate the quick restarts. Well done.

rolly 2022-10-14 15:45

I hate you. Good job.

zimny11 2022-10-14 19:35

@mar3k Thank you so much for your comment and for playing my game!

@rolly Thanks! I'm happy to hear it :P

brettschiff 2022-10-17 01:18

:angry: ahahaha :angry:

zimny11 2022-10-17 06:57

@brettschiff Thanks for playing! Hope you had a good time.

brettschiff 2022-10-17 07:05

I absolutely did, I dunno why but I'm a sucker for these kinds of games :)

simon-rahnasto 2022-10-19 18:50

First of all, I. LOVED. THE. INTRO. Poking fun at everyone skipping the instructions. Now let's talk about about the game:

My first thought was "Hmm, should have added a grace timer on the jump", then I remembered the goal is to make it annoying -> Well done.

Then I thought "The jumping and movement is a bit floaty", then I remembered the goal is to make it annoying -> Well done.

At this point I get it, and it is glorious. Like this game has sus amongus tiles... And the freaking ARROW, it broke me.

This is one of my favorite compo games, I can't think of a single thing I would do differently. Everything is very cohesive and well put together! :trophy:

zimny11 2022-10-19 20:56

@simon-rahnasto Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed my game :)

And yes, most of the "bad" controls are on purpose (with exception jumping sometimes not working, that was not intended). Since this is first platformer I ever made, I knew making good controls will be hard, so I decided to embrace all this annoying things and turn them into game features ;)

How far did you manage to get?

chungostudios 2022-10-20 16:26

"Annoying" is definitely a good adjective for this game, but it was surprisingly fun.

I liked the easter egg with the music at the end.

zimny11 2022-10-20 19:38

@chungostudios Thanks for taking your time to play my game. I'm glad that someone found that easter egg :)

oddballdave 2022-10-20 22:26

That was.. annoying. You had me chuckling from the off. I like that it's not just a troll game and is actually a playable experience. Can't add more than others have said so I just say great entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

zimny11 2022-10-20 22:31

@oddballdave Thanks! Happy to hear you liked it :)

adjo 2022-10-21 18:47

I enjoyed playing this! The jump sometimes not working was a bit irritating if it was causing you to fail the level though :)

zimny11 2022-10-21 21:16

@adjo Thank you for playing my game and commenting! Sorry, about the jump mechanic not working all the time (it is in the spirit of the game - annoying - but it is not intended).
