@mgoadric sorry for the late reply, the win condition and death sharing the same screen was supposed to be a sort of play on the theme. either way, you ascended to the after world. Small joke but we definitely discussed that it could seem strange. Thank you for the feedback!
love it!
Cant seem to launch the game. Would love to try it out once its patched!
couple bugs with coconuts but really love the art style, cant seem to beat it with current water timer
Great Game, Pretty difficult and attacks don't seem to register sometimes. one of the better games I've played in a jam
Really like the theme and concept! very unique, very fun!
@shabbyrtist Thank you for your feedback. Sorry the gameplay isn't what suits your fancy, but were quite happy with it. As for the rest, we can not recreate the issues you described, perhaps its OpenGL issues? Hopefully we'll be able to recreate them ourselves so we can address them. Our art is all original and created by a very talented artist, we can assure you it was not cut from paint. Thanks for your play!
@jonas-michael Thank you for your feedback! We agree the scroll speed is a little too fast, we were trying to prevent users from having to sit too long prior to play. We had some ideas for enemies but it fell outside of the scope of 72 hours! we will update you if we get a new build in the future including enemies! We also have other ideas to make the platforming more difficult and less repetitive
@thecritterscove Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your targeted criticism.
We have been able to isolate the issue and it is in fact where to assets meet. We think there is some interpolation that could help this is a great suggestion, some forums have also described similar issues due to OpenGL rendering so were doing some more research to find the right fix.
As mentioned in previous replies we will be addressing the slowness, we were hoping that the slower speed would add to "feeling small" but in hindsight that doesn't seem to be the case.
We played with various parallaxing speeds and ultimate shipped the ones we had, with some reluctance. We'll definitely be revising this as well.
The text color and presentation was also something we couldn't quite nail down. We agree the text can be hard to read but ultimately went with a cohesive color. We'll be revising the presentation and color as well.
Lastly, due to the 72 hour timeline we did not get to implement all of our visions. We had other characters in mind, other platforming mechanics, and enemies. Think of this as a great launching point, but we were focused on releasing a full miniature game. We're aware it may not be everyone's cup of tea but we're glad we made the decision to release something that has a clear beginning middle and end, albeit some mechanics were sacrificed.
This is only our third ludum dare and were making great strides in picking manageable ideas so stay tuned next time we're sure well have an even better grip on what we can accomplish in 72 hours.
We will be readdressing and rebuilding the game after the Jam so we don't violate any rules, so if you have any interest in the updates be sure to check back on the page!
Thanks again for your play-through!
@catie-jo Thank you for your feedback!
We're glad you enjoyed the game and art. We really wanted to highlight those skills this Jam. We were constantly reworking and toying with the physics and we agree its not 100%. Check back for updates after the compo for our answer to these recurring items!
@snufkinshat Thank you for your feedback! We were hoping to achieve a sense of depth by placing the played in the middle of the platform, but its missing a foreground texture to really give that sense, something wed love to implement in the future. Thanks for you play-through!
@zubspace Thank you for your feedback! We really wanted to show off our artists skills so we went with sprites for the platforms instead of blocks, glad you appreciated the highlight! We will definitely be addressing the run speed in the future, and we hope to give the levels some more flair and clear path indicators!
fun & funny little game. I thought the ending was a little anti-climactic but i really enjoyed it all-in-all.
One of my faves for this Dare! really enjoyed this!
Love it! love the humor and love puzzle games!
Really enjoyed this! Takes me back to escape room and puzzle flash games. Awesome submission!
Really impressive art style and work in the time frame! Has a very hollow knight visual feel.
really impressive how much you manged to get done during the Jam. Awesome platformer!
