Art is nice, audio is soothing, I respect the idea of the gameplay. I think the physics system is a bit too wonky for me, because I can't seem to consistently create platforms. I understand the idea of drawing it back into yourself, but if could aim your draw backs better, so you could prioritize platform creation, and then jumping by shooting downwards, I feel that would be more satisfying. Also, removing the cooldown on frog shooting, so while in midair, you can spam shoot frogs faster.
Overall though, good job!
This has some pretty cool concepts. Dragging back the mouse is a fun shooting mechanic. Awesome job!
Nice game. I think this game have a big potential, but a can't understand what to do... I understand that i can fly up, but how to create platforms?
Thanks for the feedback! Theres circular objects floating you can shoot to make platforms.
I think I picked up how to play pretty quickly, but struggled to aim quite a bit. Some kind of aim indicator would be cool. I like the concept but I couldn't make it very far. Well done though!
Yea I was trying to make some sort of indicator like say flappy birds but struggled and lost so much time lol. Definitely something I want to add though. Thanks for playing!
maybe if you used particles going from the slime to the end point by doing mathy-maths, you could get an indicator working.
Cool game but it is a bit hard I needed to read comments to understand good job but after the game jump end i recommend to add a better tutorial and not give all the game information in the start.
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
This game is very difficult to understand, I still don't get it :(
Could you explain what was hard to understand to help me in future. I sadly didnt have time to add a proper tutorial and tried to explain as well as I could with the opening UI.
I don't know what a HEX is and, I randomly make platforms I don't know why, I understand that you can launch yourself but where do you even go? There are no platforms and I dont really understand how to make one. And for some reason when you left click frogs come out? I don't quite get it
Thanks, the little circles are the hexes, if you use the frogs you can light your way above you or get a feeling of where to shoot. If you hit a hex it turns into a platform. Also theres water drops from the top that can hit hexes which is why some will turn into platforms on their own.
If you left click and then drag towards your player it charges your wand, let go of left click and you launch a frog. It send the player flying in the opposite direction. So if you want to go up, point it to the ground and shoot.
Yeah nice game, love mechanic and art, but i don't understand where i should move, i only fall into lava
You use the frogs to light the path above, shoot the floating circles or 'hexes' and they turn into platforms
