Great job on the art! It looks really good!

sofimei 2024-10-08 02:45

Hey! Interesting game, I like the rising water level adding lots of intensity! Small critiques: controls felt a little slow / odd inside the level design, like the characters were getting stuck / floating on the rocks and walls, i feel like there are maybe some misplaced colliders? I think looking into the basics of how to make a platformer feel clean / polished would help a lot!

I would highly recommend, next time, to see if you can integrate a tutorial into the game itself! I was very confused at first not knowing I could switch forms, since it wasn't in the game itself and only realized after coming back to this page to leave a rating. Its important that your game can teach the player how to play~

The mis-matched art is interesting! Maybe multiple artists worked on different tasks? Love the character animations, and the tile sets and pixel art is nice as well, though the contrast between styles is a little jarring. Fun idea though!

Good job!looks fire

прикольная игра но гг застревает и из-за этого сложно пролезать в прозоды

captainzo 2024-10-08 14:07

I really like the artstyle but I find it not intuitive enough sometimes but this was funny. Great job!

rincat 2024-10-08 14:22

the in web playing doesn't work for me in here, but I got it to work with the link. unfortunately it is really hard to move around, but I like the graphics!

magopian 2024-10-08 14:28

I'm afraid I didn't manage to get through the very first few platforms, controls are very floaty, and at some point the character seems to stay stuck in mid air? I'd love some kind of tutorial or more time to get the hang of the controls before being caught up by the rising sky.

Love the graphics, very cute!

bumble 2024-10-08 14:31

I would have appreciated a tutorial, because the slightly janky physics together with not knowing what every form of creature does made it unnecessarily difficult for me to understand what to do. Nevertheless, I figured it out and finished the game - it was intense! Oh and at the end it told me to 'kill the guest coder'? :sweat_smile:

laywelin 2024-10-08 14:37

Hey, cool artstyle! I had no idea you could switch between different form before coming back for rating, and I completely missed the end of first level at first. Imho that could be made more obvious. Once I got it I managed to play a bit more! One thing that would help a lot is you easily get stuck on walls. I believe it might be because you used physics with colliders and it could be fixed by adding a PhysicsMaterial with no friction on walls, or on your character on the sides. I enjoyed it nonetheless, nice platforming <3

tan90 2024-10-08 14:38

The controls feel really smooth! I love your art style, and the rising water adds a great sense of pressure. However, I reached the top but couldn’t find a way out. Maybe I missed something? Overall, it’s really well done! Also, sometimes the character’s animation seems to stop when in mid-air—might be a bug.

sasik 2024-10-08 15:03

art style is banger. i dont know how hard or long it was but it looks amazing

crozzy 2024-10-08 15:17

The game is interesting, but I got stuck in almost every wall (there was something like a ladder and I couldn't climb, but the idea is cool

pierallard 2024-10-08 15:54

First, I loved the mood from the art style. But I get stucked a lot of times in invisible walls, and cannot get to succeed after ~10 tries :/

renaud-gaillardon-wino-music 2024-10-08 15:54

Cute art work ! There is some collision bug and I can't really jump where I want. However I like the rising water system :)

andymetoo 2024-10-08 15:55

Nicely done. I kept getting stuck and wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing, but I think you have something there! Gj

evindor 2024-10-08 16:02

Very cute and cool graphics, loved the main splash art and mechanics of switching forms to gain different abilities. Physics though are a bit janky and often I got stuck midair. Anyway, cool game!

rkhadder 2024-10-08 17:00

I really liked the menu screen - the art was great. I enjoyed the fast pace nature of the game. It was really fun having to swap all the characters really quickly to escape the rising water.

I wish the water didn't rise immediately when the level started. It was overwhelming and I couldn't figure out the basic mechanics fast enough. I had to restart multiple times to eventually understand the mechanics then the rest of the level was simple.

Congrats on submitting for the jam!

kirass 2024-10-08 17:36

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

shaggy 2024-10-08 17:50

Who is the guest coder and why must they die?

emozdemir 2024-10-08 17:55

Menu art and characters are pretty. I don't know if the slim one should jump multiple time while in air but felt like i've cheated whole game ahaha. Water could rise a little bit slower in the beginning. Great idea, cheers!

meylish 2024-10-08 17:59

very cute character design and the illustration is amazing for three days!

ecaterina 2024-10-08 19:12

I fell in love with the visuals of this game. It's a true feast for the eyes! As for the mechanics, I initially had to adjust to the jumps, but it didn't take me long. Well done!

degtus 2024-10-08 19:26

great that this is an html game, I was able to play on ipad, however characters gets stuck in textures very often. The way the characters are drawn I like, especially their squeeze and squash of their form Good job

maneoliz 2024-10-08 19:41

the bugs are a bit annoying but the art is especially beautiful and captivating and magnificent and im just shocked that you could've done that in such a short amount of time. this was amazing!

angrybeard 2024-10-08 19:56

nice game. great artwork and concept of the 3 little figures! the characters are a little sticky at the edges.

germ 2024-10-08 21:35

I really like how menu and character looks, but there are a few problems with gameplay. When you start it is hard to understand what is happening - it isnt obvious that you have to run away. Waves are moving up and down a lot, obstructing the view. Also player controller is a bit wonky. Very interesting mechanic of changing forms tho, if each form had some more unique gameplay variety it would be nice. Otherwise I would like to play another game with similar visuals )

kseniya 2024-10-08 22:22

Funny game! the main character moves quite funny

master-yeet 2024-10-08 22:59

The game looked really good, however I was getting stuck often on walls and platforms.

rensun 2024-10-08 23:44

I like the character we play as he's really cool! And the mechanics of raising the water level? And the screensaver is cool too :3

blackcat508 2024-10-09 05:13

the concept is cool, but the controls felt rather clunky. I was getting stuck on a lot of stuff and sometimes being unable to jump

gaalsien 2024-10-09 05:46

It would be a great platformer if not for these issues with physics... Or was the "sticking" to walls a part of the design?

athospap 2024-10-09 08:14

Good job! Colliders were a bit un-intuitive at times, but a fun experience overall

prussichger 2024-10-09 08:49

@tan90 - Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the game despite the bugs. In the last level you had to move left, because the upper exit was blocked с:

@maneoliz - Thank you for feedback! As the artist in charge of the illustrations I'm very pleased to hear it! <3 (these days have been crazy)

@emozdemir - Thanks for the feedback! Haha, yes, the green one does double jump, the red one was supposed to push heavy objects. Anyway, our team glad you liked it!

@shaggy - This is about our developer who was responsible for the physics in the game. It was not easy for him, so he left a message for those who completed the game :)

@rkhadder - Thank you for kind words! We planned to make the game more difficult, but did not expect that the water would rise so quickly, but unfortunately there was no time to fix it. :P We are glad that the game caught you at least with the visuals!

@laywelin @gaalsien @blackcat508 @rincat

Perhaps our only bug is the walls and physics. Unfortunately, the developers were unable to fix them on the third day, because we wouldn't have had time to upload the game to the site. In the future we plan to fix the necessary things and add a tutorial. Thank you all for your feedback and good participation in Ludum! :heart:

iwant-pizza 2024-10-09 10:23

@prussichger already

rum-ham 2024-10-09 10:45

Game was fun, although I'm not sure if there was a second level I got to the top and then it was over. Nice job on the music and art though. I'll also note that the music was all the way down in settings by default so I almost missed it! Definitely put that up!

otsvar 2024-10-09 11:16

Мне нравится насколько персонажи разные, но в то же время идеально вписываются в общий стиль игры. Задумка классная и масштабная, поэтому понятно что невозможно усмотреть абсолютно все баги, упомянутые выше. Для 3 дней это максимально крутой проект, буду с нетерпением ждать полноценную версию!!!

starless 2024-10-09 12:05

Very beautiful colors and interesting characters, gorgeous art style

foshchu 2024-10-09 12:06

I like this game. It's a shame that I get stuck in textures from time to time, but that doesn't change the fact that the game is really good.

ulziton 2024-10-09 12:10

visual design is amazing, like this one a lot

ulziton 2024-10-09 12:10

visual design is amazing, like this one a lot

rio85 2024-10-09 12:25

I like the art of the Character and its animations, but the platforms are pixel art and the rest is high res art, that breaks the consistency of the visuals. I believe there's a lot of potential in this art if you keep the same visual style used in the character for the rest of the game.

ping78 2024-10-09 13:05

Love the art style! Got stuck on walls way more often than I'd like. Player would benefit from a less urgent introduction to the game before diving in.

sviborg 2024-10-09 13:12

Эта игра оставила невероятно положительные впечатления! Первое, что сразу цепляет, – это потрясающий визуальный стиль и проработанные персонажи. 💖 Графика действительно впечатляет, особенно учитывая, что проект был сделан всего за несколько дней! 🚀 Механика переключения форм добавляет глубины геймплею и позволяет по-новому взглянуть на платформеры. Очень понравилось напряжение, создаваемое поднимающейся водой, это придаёт игре динамичности и заставляет действовать быстрее! Были моменты, когда персонаж застревал на стенах,но это не испортило общее впечатление. В любом случае, за такой короткий срок команда проделала отличную работу. 👏 Однозначно 5 по всем пунктам)))

chocolat-endive 2024-10-09 14:02

I liked the main character designs a lot, they look really good! Same with the title screen background. The music fits well with the gameplay (once the volume turned up in the settings).

Other people have already mentioned the collisions/physics/hitbox issues.

I couldn't reach the exit of the second level, I think I was too slow getting the yellow thing behind the crate and trying to do something with it.

aripize 2024-10-09 14:03

Cool art, but it doesn't always work out so well when you jump.

danoka 2024-10-09 14:45

Capture d'écran 2024-10-09 164403.png over all pretty cool plateformer game the collision are a bit clunky and could use a few ajustement anyway this was pretty fun good job !

dywanix 2024-10-09 23:39

Cool idea but I had some troubles with jumping :(

juju 2024-10-09 23:39

Very cool execution. Please, keep working on it!

nikitastarostin 2024-10-10 09:31

The game is cool, but I couldn't get to the ending and I also missed the audio component. Really liked the Art Design. Well done! To jam this is a great game! Respect from JoBlow!

prussichger 2024-10-10 23:51

@nikitastarostin спасибо, ребят. Лично кайфую от вашей игры)

vary 2024-10-13 16:20

The jumping mechanics could use some work but it's a neat idea with having to change forms!
