Pretty neat deisign and puzzles are lovely. Could not pass the thorns in custle though. Too pointy
Nice game! I really like the concept around the colors, and the music is cool too. I didn't get from the beginning that I should hold 'E' to gather essence. And then I got stuck on Round Two 🙈 But overall it was fun!
Love the chill vibe overall but castle spikes are too hard to pass ><
I really like this one. The concept feels very original, and with a bit more time it could definitely grow into a great puzzle game.
目前为止我玩这个游戏时间最多了！我觉得这真的是很成功的小游戏，机制不复杂+关卡设计好，让我就算失败一次又一次也会继续玩下去！把游戏打完花了我将近两个小时！！就算最后我可以熟练得过这些关卡了，我觉得我也会时不时回来玩一下！！一开始我觉得第一视角会很难很恶心，但是玩完之后我认为这也是乐趣的一种
super fun and well made even tho it is kinda unconfortable to control the camera with the mouse. but i loved iit
Cool idea. Platforming gets quite tricky, but controls are snappy enough that it wasn't a problem, but maybe greater focus on puzzles could have made this a stronger entry.
apparently main character in a mokujin from tekken 3, judging by sounds he makes :D
This is fun! I like that the map changes when you collect something; I like the secret reveals. There are a lot of cool things you could do with it.
Cool puzzles^^ but the castle got me. i only found the red and orange there :p
Nice game. I managed to beat the castle but "Steal the sun" was to hard for me. Overall it plays very smooth but the spike hitbox sometimes caught me off guard.
Cool idea! I really liked how I had to look at the world differently and consider if the obvious thing was right. I'm not a great platformer, so when I got to the "Steal the Sun" level it was just too hard for me. :frowning: It looks maybe the web version was updated, but not the downloadable version? I had the same issue as @anorphie where I didn't know you had to hold the e button, it would be worth updating the controls to indicate that! I really enjoyed it!
Edit: Tried the HTML version, the spikes are better, but still too hard for me.
Very cool style and idea and I love platforming but either the hitboxes on the spikes or the player or both are far too big.
Great! I rarely come across platformers with such strategy! I played for about ten minutes and still fell a little short; the "puzzle"(level four) is a bit too difficult! I always just miss the final jump, which is very frustrating. As for the earlier levels, I feel your design is very clever. You removed the sliding ability, allowing players to stick like a gecko, then check where the colors are, and finally snatch them!
Fun game! I like the concept of stuff disappearing when the colors are collected! I thought to myself: "this can become a pretty fun puzzle". And then I saw that level 4 was called "the puzzle"! :smile: I could not finish that one. I will come back later (if I remember) to tackle that one. I'm a bit tired after rating countless games tonight
Great job on the game! The music made me think of the viby music from the Minecraft Alpha days 🥰
Edit: just found out about the sprinting haha
This is the point when I gave up. :cold_sweat: (I climbed the green platforms to the top a bit earlier tho)
I see that you've already reduced the size of the spike's hit-boxes. I still find them quite punishing... (or then you didn't push the update to the Linux-build I was playing)

I wish there were some kind of checkpoints in the most challenging parts. Especially when you've included a trap in that particular level :sweat_smile: But at the same time I've gotta appreciate the game holds no punches like in the good old days!
Another thing I found a bit annoying was doing the lengthier jumps in the **Level #4 - Puzzle.** Since you can't see the characters feet (well, the default Unity-blob doesn't have them!), it's hard to estimate whether you're really tip-toeing on the edge of an platform or not.

I find the level design visually very appealing. The serene piano-ambience stops and doesn't loop, but I put on some of my own background music after that :stuck_out_tongue:
---
I appreciate you went and included a Linux-build! :muscle: :penguin:
I doubt there will be a lot of people who would benefit from this, but here's a runtime-command that made the game playable even on my ancient trash-hardware. :potato: :computer:
``` ./LudumDare58_Linux.x86_64 -screen-quality Ugly -screen-width 320 -screen-height 200 ``` An option to disable the noise-effect and/or reduce light-processing could be another possible chance at optimization.

But yeah, I like what you were going for here. I Might return to finish it later at some point.
Good job!
@dis0rder thanks for playing and giving review. > or then you didn’t push the update to the Linux-build I was playing
Yes, only web version was updated. Spikes feel a lot better compared to local versions > I appreciate you went and included a Linux-build!
We use it as well
> made the game playable even on my ancient trash-hardware.
wow, cool

Ye, u need to get used to it a bit. Btw you can beat puzzle level with stealing colors in right order and then time your last jump precisely or use shift for sprint jump and then it's a lot easier(and colors order doesnt matter i think).
Alright this game is absolutely amasing; had way more fun than I expected. Did 12 minutes, will come back to do sub-5
Continued playing for 30 minutes, 3:48 haha
2:49 haha! Love this game
Needless to say this is one of the best fun I've had ever in a game jam!
@jojopalambas nice, you are top 1 in leaderboard now
Nice little game. I wanted to download it but got a Windows Defender alert about a virus in your zip... trojan.jpg
@revetoon very strange, i will blame windows as usually :pray:
