fun game!

denvil 2022-10-03 06:34

Interesting take on the theme. One thing missing I think was double jump to save myself from falling to pits...

zoglu 2022-10-03 06:42

@denvil : Thanks ! Actually, double-jumping is one of the abilities you may unlock by leveling up, but every stage can be completed (and every hourglass collected) without any of these abilities. But I agree that it may help sometimes !

Very nice game.

( - )

* the amount of suns in level 3 is a bit too much. (also the generator gave a harsh one at first; 3rd and 4th runs were much more forgiven). But you could maybe introduce 1 sun or 2 rather than 3

( + ) * Random level generation is great * controls feel good * graphics good

Well done.

Really fun concept! Love the upgrade system, makes me wanna go risky and get all the hour glasses of every level haha

khaotom 2022-10-03 07:05

Amazing level of polish and amount of content! Nice work!.

daandruff 2022-10-03 07:16

A solid game! The controls felt a bit slow and floaty which is a bit frustrating when you need to get places quickly. But other than that, there's not to much to complain about. Sound design and graphics felt solid and it was fun to play. Good work!

zoglu 2022-10-03 07:20

@daandruff : Thanks for the comment ! Some upgrades let you make the controls more precise :smile:

Wow... How the ... did you do all of this in 48 hours? I like everything about it. Really love the art style, nice. Solid game, great job :thumbsup:

A nice interpretation of the theme - and a really impressive level of polish in the time available! :)

k3y 2022-10-03 09:23

Super polished and fun, I like how you used the theme, can't believe you made this in such a short time

zimonitrome 2022-10-03 11:54

Very addictive. Concept seems kinda simple yet it's very polished and has a lot of neat features. Top contender for me.

termight 2022-10-03 17:27

Wow, this game is just wow. The graphics, mechanics and story are 10/10.

hungryroy 2022-10-04 13:54

An excellent submission, and very challenging! After many tries I was able to complete a run with like 4800+ pts. There was one level that I hated to see, the scribble leap one, I NEVER COMPLETED IT lol

Excellent visuals and audio and polish and even with a level up system. My only complaint is that I feel like the jumps are a bit too floaty, which made scribble leap just a lot harder lol

hungryroy 2022-10-04 13:54

Oops, my comment seems to have doubled up, and there doesn't seem to be a way to delete?!?

zoglu 2022-10-04 19:43

@everyone : Thanks a lot for these incredible comments !

@hungryroy : the easiest way to pass Scribble Leap is by avoiding moving horizontally and just timing your jumps. Also, now you've unlocked Training mode, you may practice this level as much as you want :sweat_smile:

ccollider 2022-10-04 19:56

Man this is really polished considering you got it done in time for the Compo, great work!

vykri 2022-10-04 21:05

Game looks and plays great. I felt like you could give upgrades a bit more often. Took me like 3 or 4 tries before I even knew they existed despite always going for all the hourglasses. Also, 10 seconds to see a new level and go through it is pretty difficult. Would be nice if there was like a 3 second countdown before each stage that gave you a couple seconds to plan your route before the level started.

thiefaine 2022-10-04 22:06

Soooo fun, the music, the art, the levels, I loved it. Excellent job to you !!

moebiusmeow 2022-10-05 08:53

The whole game is well polished and enjoyable to play. The levels are rich in content especially for a compo game. The upgrade system is a clever design which makes the same level different.

I love the visual effects especially the screen effect when few seconds left. It provides players with a brief feeling about remaining time without using explicit UI panel. This concept is great.

Nice work!

c1913 2022-10-05 09:16

This is really good, I enjoyed it. One thing, though: A and D both make you go right, so I was forced to use the arrow keys, playing right handed, which I suck at. I'd love to see that little adjustment made :)

zoglu 2022-10-05 10:52

@c1913 : oh, that must be a mistake on my side, I'll try to make a bugfix today

zoglu 2022-10-05 10:52

roroto-sic 2022-10-05 10:56

i Love the art and music ! gameplay feel great too . You said the music helps to know how much time left but i think a timer on screen will help me more haha, even i i lesten carefully the song i dont know when timer will stop

pikario 2022-10-05 11:39

Cool game ! I was a little confused by the lack of a timer to refer to, but it was fun (and hard !).

Also I miss controller support as I suck at platformer with keyboard x)

venfola 2022-10-05 12:01

Very nice platformer. Graphics are simple but the effects and change of colors are great! At first I found the jump a bit too short, but I understood why when seeing the upgrades.

The time we have left is not super clear, even with the music on, it could be accentuated. And death is very punitive, 10 levels with no death is quite hard, but the fast pace make up for it and makes you want to play 'just a last game'.

wizcas 2022-10-05 16:47

Oh you've created so much for a Compo! I love how smooth the control is, the graphics, and the music for sure. It's quite enjoyable playing this one.

whenyoucantfindafriend 2022-10-05 20:33

Wow! Great Job! Interesting take on the concept and creative storytelling. The 8 bit aesthetic is super fun! Well Done!

denzil-gomes 2022-10-05 21:13

One of the best I've come across so far. Great job, it feels so polished. I like the risk reward nature of the whole thing and just how clean the whole experience is. Top marks!

asue 2022-10-06 08:30

Awesome game. So much polish, it's very pleasant to play! I love the art, the atmosphere, the sounds effects... Well done =D

moustachegolem 2022-10-13 00:46

Pretty neat, visuals in particular where very solid.

miltonnh25 2022-10-16 03:29

Great job on the game. There was a lot of content and it was really polished for a compo game so well done. I liked the risk and reward aspect of the hourglasses. I thought it worked well with not having an exact timer on screen and just the screen effects intensifying to judge how much time you had left. The platforming was solid and the upgrades were cool and felt impactful. Really solid entry.

xoreaxeax 2022-10-20 18:11

Wow! Thats awesome :D I have a very specific feeling: Playing on an arcade machine in a dark night club in the early 90s in Berlin with some heavy techno playing in the background
