cute little game! I like the heat meter - it keeps you engaged because you don't have too much time to sit and think. The perspective made it a bit difficult to see how far I was jumping but overall had fun!
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions, I didn’t thought about a Different Camera Angle maybe it can improve the vision, and also The fact that there’s only 3 moves, at the time of development and testing I thought its fair enough but after getting same suggestions to increase the moves I will increase the moves in the future update, please tell me O am thinking of increasing moves according to distance of the water is that sounds good?
Yeah, that sounds good, but also I'd like to point out that failing should have a permanent effect or something like that. Because, if I fail 3 times a row, the level just restarts. So practically nothing changes other than having a gameover screen in between the tries, thus making this fail system pointless. Maybe after each fail, the level gets a tiny bit harder, or you have a point system that decreases each time you fail the level. I don't really know the solution, but maybe this is something you can improve on.
Very silly game. Lack of depth perception makes this pretty difficult, maybe a different camera angle could help with that. I also found you could keep playing the game after losing, which was funny. Also you could continue to jump in air after jumping the first time. But I thought it was very cute, and I couldn't help but laugh at how the penguin looks when it hits the side of the cup or lands on the edge and falls in. Great job!
Worked well on mobile, consider addindg a tutorial, i struggeled to understand the whole loop. I see similarities to our game haha, at least the fthrowing part
Thanks for your feedback I am happy to hear that you enjoyed playing it and it worked well on mobile, and yeah I didn’t added a dedicated tutorial but there are text that appear when you start the game that tells you about every mechanism and what you have to do I am pretty sure that you saw them while playing (the pointing hand).
It's such a great game, however, I think 3 moves is too little, as the glass is always moving and you need to not only time the jump but also adjust power. I think the heat value doesn't add a lot of challenge and the jump limitation makes no sense if we talk about lore. Nevertheless, it's an excellent game for a Jam, just a bit hard.
I am glad that you liked it, and yeah having only 3 moves is a bit difficult, I will make sure to increase the count in the future update and just FYI I am soon be unloading this game on crazy games if you wanna play the completed game there please consider following me so you’ll get notified when the release happens!
Liked your game. Please rate mine https://coolsushnata.itch.io/juniperdevjam
I didn't realize for like 5mins I needed to press jump multiple times while in the air.
Also what I still don't get, I have 3 moves at the start, but not attempts count as move but mid air jumps as well and when I get moves back is also unclear to me.
The concept with the penguin needing to cool down, fits the current weather in europe ;) but I felt the heat bar made no impact, maybe it does if you hit a few jumps into the water, which I couldn't so maybe that was just me.
Thanks for giving your time to play my game please let me make things clear:- yes you loose moves for each jump no matter it’s mid air or not and you get them back once you successfully jumped inside the water and that’s where the heat meter will reset as the Penguins body will cool down because of the water and one more thing I want to add maybe you didn’t noticed the green slider at the top right use it to increase or decrease the speed of your jump (how far will you jump) and if your heat meter max out the penguin will die due to too much heat. I hope that made things I think I have added this info inside the description If not I’ll make sure to put it there, I really appreciate your feedback
really fun game i wish there was a little more to do than just the game.
Thanks for your reply but I thinks i didn’t get what you meant by more to do the the game please let me know, do you mean emotes or stuff if so I’ll be continuing to work on this project and my plan is to make it a release on crazy games just to get experience of releasing a game on web and monetize it,you can follow me for the future updates.
Really cool concept! Feels like a trickshot game. You should add in the description that you can chain jumps together because it's not very intuitive to know and it took me some time to figure that out and without chain jumps some of the levels seem really really tough.
