Pretty hard, but nice controlles.

Developer

Thank you, I'll redesign levels after the jam to make the difficulty curve smoother.

awesome game! i loved the controls however i had trouble in the tutorial but thats just a skill issue, i actually like the simplistic style of the game. some sounds would be nice too. But overall i really enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks for playing and feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am not very good with music but I'll try to make something next time. And I was pretty oblivious to how difficult the game is while making it. I'll try to be more mindful in the future.

The game is veryy good. Maybe some better visuals would help, but still nice. Great

Developer

Thanks for playing and for your feedback. Sorry, I am not that good with art so I try to make do with simple shapes, would you mind telling me what specific visuals would you like to see improved? and maybe some tips on how to achieve that.

this game is awesome! the mechanics work as advertised, the gameplay is smooth, and it is difficult! love this a lot and should definitely get more recognition!

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing and the kind words. I would love to hear about anything you think I can improve.

of course! sorry i never know if people will be offended by feedback. one thing i would improve is controls when someone doesn't have a mouse. the combination of clicking in 3 separate places at once made me die more than i should have. really not a big problem but without a mouse the trackpad makes it super difficult

Developer

I see, I never considered someone playing with a trackpad, I have the controller support in progress though. I'll have to research how to adopt the controls for a twin-stick shooter without a mouse. If you have any control scheme in mind do let me know, and thanks again for the feedback. Duly noted.

Its sad that this game only has one level that can be played cause it really has a lot of potential. The mechanics are super simple which makes it easy to learn which is really good especially in a game jam context. The player has a lot of feel in their jumps. The game looks clean despite only using boxes. The only thing that I would say is that some sound effects would really breath this game to life. After the jam though you should update the game fixing whatever the bug was that kept future levels from loading cause honestly this is really good.

Thank you so much for playing and giving feedback. I fixed the bug as soon as the jam ended, and I'll surely update it after the jam. Tomorrow I'll be trying out and rating other people's submissions, your's will be the top priority.

PS: There are some hidden mechanics in the game, My PB is 8.68, and I'm sure it can be beaten

Edit: The game is now fixed, you can play the rest of the levels.
