Your Game Artist did a pretty dang good job! I really like the idea of the game as well! The movement is a bit slow for me... but ey, the sounds are very cool!

Developer(+1)

Thank you - that means a lot especially because said artist started Pixel art about.....a week before the Jam? I am working on fixing up the movement and revamping it though running into new issues as I do :)

Graphics are really nice and Plongs model looks very good! Jumping felt kind of tedious and i wish the animations were a bit faster, to give the game a faster feel. however, neat little game for 48 Hours. Keep on making games!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Seeing as this was our first game jam and a huge learning experience, these words mean a lot. I certainly agree that the controls and levels could be better and will look at overall improving the base game into something more of an RPG platformer perhaps.

plong is an handsome chap, good work on the visuals!

Developer

Thank you! He's a special character for us so glad we could do him justice :)

Die Idee mag ich. Plong ist schön designed. Allerdings war es für mich (kurzsichtig as f***) unglaublich schwer die Texte in den Schriftrollen zu lesen. Da ich leider auditiv schnell überfordert bin, hab ich das Geräusch beim Springen eher als störend empfunden. Ist aber mein persönliches Problem. Tolle Arbeit insgesamt

Thank you for the feedback, it really is appreciated as I know we're all pretty early into our game jam journeys. The text size was a major oversight I believe we made from working with code and pixels for most of the time so I appreciate knowing that this is an issue we need to pay more care towards in our future projects and to fix as we continue working with Plong..

Bitte bitte arbeitet weiter an an eurem Plong Projekt. Ich fand das Konzept wirklich schön!

Music is awesome. Jump sound gets repetitive.
Jumping feels odd
Sprites look good - Main Character could benefit from Idle-Clothanimation
Visuals of LoreBits are nice.
Lore bits are well written.

Would have love to seen more effort put into this. D:

Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty sure the odd jumping comes from failed animation on my end as the designer. I definitely designed the animation with actual increase on the y axis and it is noticeable looking at it after looking on it with fresh eyes. We put our all into it but I think we missed a few key things from inexperience and we intend to improve from here.

Plong is really cute! Great job with the character design and animations! The backgrounds are also nice, the mountains in the background really sell the hell atmosphere! I like that you put in the effort of adding in the sound effects and even a menu :) 

For the gameplay I was a bit confused at first as a normal jump wasn't enough to get on the first platfom. I then noticed that you have to jump again when you're at the side of an object but that feels quite unintuitive to me. I think it would be nicer if all platforms could be reached with a normal jump. And I wasn't sure what the difference between the scrolls and the colorful balls is. But that's just a minor thing

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the compliments! We had a lot of fun with this and plan to keep working on it after the jam is completely finished. A small tutorial section may be something we add in later and was not something we thought about in the moment. As for the story elements, the scroll and ball, the distinction was an oversight so I do appreciate the acknowledgement of that. We can't fix problems we don't notice after all.

Mir gefallen Optik, Sound und Atmosphäre sehr gut. Auf einem 4k-Monitor sind die Texte schwer zu lesen. Das Interface fügt sich da leider nicht in den schönen Pixellook ein. Ich fänd es auch schön, wenn man die Interaktionen mit der GUI wie z.B. das Bestätigen des Dialogs nach Aufsammeln einer Sünde direkt per Tastatur bestätigten könnte. Dann müsste man dafür nicht immer zur Maus greifen. Aber das ist wirklich nur eine Kleinigkeit :)

Developer

Thanks for the comments! That is really something I will need to explore and learn how to do. I'm sure its simple but after 40 hours, it was last thing on my list :)
