How does the game fit the theme?
One of the side characters is secretly a saboteur. But the player doesn't know that yet until the final half of the game.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Trees, characters, trains, train tracks, enemies, and the shelter. I made the code myself.

How many people worked on the game?

The game is pretty fun especially for your first game jam. 

It is my first game jam as well so, its nice to see someone who is also new this.

hope to see you in future jams.

Amazing work :)

It’s a pretty fun game—I’ve already beaten it. However, there are a few issues with the experience: 1. The character's jumping animation isn't smooth. 2. When the camera hits a wall, the screen turns black instead of sliding along the surface.

Developer

I should fix the camera bug.

Really fun game!!

I wasn't expecting there to be a second phase! The sudden change from the cheerful atmosphere of the first phase really caught me off guard XD

I didn't see any robots in the third phase though, so I'm not sure if that was a bug or if I missed something.

The robots were also surprisingly hard to dodge! They're so chunky XD and their sideways movement felt much faster than their forward movement.

Developer

In the third level, there's a tripwire the player "trips" which activates the robots. So I guess you didn't activate the trip wire, but oh well.

Cool game. I wish there was a sprint button. Other than that it was a good game, well done!

Submitted

Well done! I did say that the movement speed felt kinda slow.  like i was running in slow motion or on the moon or something. 
But it looks great!

I beat the game, it was fun. Enemies didn't seem to spawn for me at the last level, I just walked straight to the exit. If there were more levels and some varying mechanics for the robots, the game would be better!

Submitted

Game was fun, but couldn't get past the second level because I kept respawning on the spikes. But otherwise, good job!

Submitted

Bugs really made this game fun ngl.

Developer

It did? Shocking.

The movement was fine and the music was interesting, the bugs are game breaking sadly.
I see your genuine interest in gamedev. I think that maybe a simpler platformer would be a better choice for next time, in my short experience in game development, I've seen that one should try to master one thing at a time rather than trying to do a full experience at once.
You have potential, keep it up!

I do need to fix those bugs ASAP.

the bugs are so funny omg 🤣🤣🤣 here are some of them:

  • player doesnt move at all while in the air after jumping
  • you can jump off the train and fall off the map (add barriers?)
  • the robots dont have a walking animation, but once they reach the spikes they start walking
  • when clicking the "back" button in settings, it goes back to settings and you have to click it again to exit settings
  • after dying to a robot, you die again before respawning (teleport the player to the checkpoint when dying instead of the time the player respawns?)
  • when robots are close to the checkpoint you respawn at they keep killing u (maybe reset the robots' position?)

putting that aside, i wasnt able to go through the second area because there were a lot of robots around after the first checkpoint. anyways, i like how the game looked and the background music as well. however, there are a lot of bugs as u warned lmao. overall, i could see this being playable but i get it that u didnt have the time to iterate and fix the bugs.

Yeah, these bugs are an issue, I'll fix them.

Submitted

I immediately loved the music upon playing this. "Which path is safer" text won't go away for me even after clicking of the buttons. When I held the jump key, the player just floats in the air for a second. Also the robots completely glitch out, either they're inside the wooden object, just running into it and couldn't move at all or fall off the map entirely 🤣. 

I know it's gameplay humor, right? Anyways, I found another glitch right after I got attacked and killed by the robots, I die again after respawning. I couldn't get past the second area since all the robots came running at me and I couldn't get away from them.

Glad you enjoyed it, there are quite some bugs that I have came across during playtesting. But I guess you can call it gameplay humor. Anyways, thanks for playing my game. :)

Feedback is appreciated! :)
