This is one of the few games I **actually completed** in this game jam. It is simple, and it has broken stuff, but those problems are only problems for polish freaks, yeah, the jump pads might be op, the way dirt is placed may seem awkward. But **IT WORKS**, everything here works to make the gameplay and the little puzzles **perfect**. You did not lose time on thing that are not essential, this game has nice puzzles, is atmospheric af and the mechanics are wonderful, I did not lose any time with challenges that were too dificult, I could figure out everythin by myself, and I felt great. Congratulations, your game deserves a lot more praise than it has
I would appreciate if you add a Linux or browser version of this game, so I can give some feedback on it :D
Hey man, I saw this game and was pretty great, it seems like a great introduction to the terminal life, and I was amazed at how creative and well done it was. The commands, straight out of a Linux machine, maybe HTOP would have made a nice addition xD. However, after I saw that there is no Linux version, I got really, really mad. I can’t believe you did such a thing. This game went from being award winning, to nothing but a memory I no longer wish to keep. I despise it so much, my heart is broken, this could have been great but you were brainwashed by the Microsoft overlords, I hope you return to the light and make the right choice.
Jk, its awesome, make linux version pls I need it!!!!
PD Make something to get rid of old input history, maybe 500 lines or so would be enough
Reminded me of some classic arcade game. Really simple but effective. I think that some kind of move buffering would have been useful and better gameplaywise. Like, press right, and dont go to the right until there is path available. I guess its just muscle memory from Pacman, but it would still have been pretty nice
@jasontherand Yeah, I originaly wanted to use the wall grab more, but I didnt manage to make good use of it due to the lack of levels. I will try to keep improving my level design xD
@oeschmid Thank you! I tried my best to make the jetpack work while not making the levels too easy by just flying around on it. Sadly, I think I didnt handle the wall grabbing as well, since it has no use. But I am quite inspired with this and will add more levels when the jam ends, as well as a proper main menu xD. I wonder if I can just add it rn without costing me to be disqualified
@oeschmid wait, your first jam? the game you did is noe even more awesome
@grimsbaldruk Thank you so much for your feedback, I am glad you liked it. I will try to improve upon this game after the jam ends :D
@pd-dev Yeah, the state machine was a bit of a mistake by me and I kept it for the release, I guess I can remove it without any penalty, so I will do so, just comment a line of code xD. Thanks, I worked quite a bit to get those graphics going
@steelax I appreciate it dude. Thanks for the support, will try to do better
@felo07 its more of a two levels only thing, I would not consider any of them a tutorial xD. Its just some levels I barely tested tbh. But thanks for playing, glad you liked it
@tommytheitguy Thank you so much, I missed it live but I rewatched the link you sent me. oof. I have done a couple bugfixes like removing the state machine indicator and such.
@jitspoe I actually decided to fix that, now the text should stay until you jump down, so you can try the controls in that little platform you appear in.
@tricky-fat-cat Thats a pretty great resource! I will take a look at it for future game jams xD
@emiliabea Thank you so much, I am pretty happy with the art too, if it wasnt because of that huge scaled up lava sprite xD
Hello, this game was pretty fun, it controls nicely, it gets a bit too crazy for me, not used to bullet hells, but it do be quite a nice challenge and pretty decently balanced. The artstyle is quite simple, as well as the mechanics themselves, nonetheless. Great game bud!
OH boy that last part reminded me of the Celeste chasing sequences, pretty fun and great mechanic! While I write this I just read the comment above and realized someone already mentioned it. Welp, anyways. The music was kinda lackluster, especially at the end where it could have been more epic. But the mechanics and movement were great!
I am checking out those games that have not got a lot of feedback, I kinda like yours, art is nice. I hope you make a web version of your next game, so you dont get left out by many people. I use Linux, but I play these kinds of games with other computer
This is a really interesting mechanic, congrats for your creativity, I dont think it was fully developed in this little game, there could be some improvements and additions to make it stand out a bit more. However, this is a really nice game, congrats!
Alright, this is simply amazing, its literally a single file of source code? Kinda cool. And I really enjoyed the puzzle, it can be a little bit broken sometimes, but if you play by the rules, the enjoyments is pretty nice. A few bugs here and there, but nothing serious, and the difficulty curve is excellent.
Interesting game, quite enjoyable, the art is great, I wonder why its not in the Rating option
Hey, Its pretty fun, maybe it was just me, but the formatting was a bit weird on my browser, and the use of Ctrl+F can make it a bit unfair for people who dont use that. But hey, its just a quick game, and a pretty good one. I would love it if you were able to set custom starting and ending points and such to make custom "levels"
Man I really liked this one, saw it on many streams too, it deserves the praise it has gotten. I loved the NES style and the minimal animations. Great entry!
Nice art, fun sound effects. It had been a while since I've seen this kind of game, but it was actually kinda fun. I think that the miner has a pretty weak neck, like, maybe crashing against a wall at high speed hurts, but not enough to die. Tbh this was great, the controls where easy to figure out and use too. Nice job!
