Nice job, there are quite a lot of levels and they all felt really good to play!

Did you do all the art assets and programming by yourself? very impressive for 3 days work 😮

Really well done!

Developer(+1)

thank you! :) and yes, I did the art and (most of) the programming. Thanks for playing! :D

Submitted

I really like the simplicity of it! I instantly knew what to do without needing instructions, but it also has a high skill ceiling due to using thrust physics and timing of the vine things. And it looks great! Nicely done!

Developer(+1)

thanks so much! :D glad you enjoyed it!

That was great!! Love that the VFX loops as well, subtle but effective detail.

Developer

Yeah honestly that effect was accidental 😅 I was creating the fake players (the ones you see as you warp across the screen) and I added those fx. I saw  how the fx looked across the screen and liked it so I kept it in! (Btw, thanks for playing!! :D)

Submitted

It was very helpful with the intuition. Glad you kept that 'accident' in 😂

Submitted

Incredibly polished game. <3

Developer

thank you so much! :)

Submitted

Interactive menus — my favorite!
The game is interesting and can be completed pretty quickly.
Visuals are great! 😊

Developer

so glad you enjoyed it!! :D

Submitted

Its a very good game with awsome visuals and good sounds. 

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Got 1:59! Absolutely stellar game, I really enjoy how the mechanics get introduced over time! The tentacles are very mean, lmao.

I really like how you have a mini hub-world instead of a menu, and the boosters are a really cool mechanic.

Overall, takes a really simple idea, and does a lot with it! Good work! <3

Developer

thank you for playing!!! :) yea those tentacles can be annoying, but that’s kind of the point. Again, thanks for paying!

Developer

Quick question, any suggestions for improvements for the tentacles? :) I'm tweaking a few things

Submitted

Have a few thoughts.

Having some kind of subtle warning that a tentacle is about to come out would be nice; Some kind of little dashed line flashing the path of the tentacle right before it comes out would make it feel a lot less frustrating.

They also tend to feel a little.. off to interact with. It feels weird that a soft, squishy tentacle launches out of the wall, and then you slam into it and stop dead like it's a solid wall. Obviously making them flexible would be very challenging to implement, and defeat the point; Maybe when you hit a tentacle, it should sorta knock you away from it, play some kind of hit sound, and give a little screenshake. Having a tentacle retract after you hit it until the next time it extends would also be an interesting change, and make them feel less like moving walls, and more like engaging threats.

Last thing is that their movement feels very stiff and weird. Having a speed curve, where they move fastest near their retracted position, and slowest near the extended position, might be nice.

Don't know how much of that is worth anything, but hopefully you find it helpful! ^^

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Those are some great ideas- I'll see if I can put them in an update I'm currently working on. I really like the idea where the tentacles retract if you hit them too hard. Thanks :)

Submitted

Great game! Sound especially nice, I would put it as my alarm!

I think it will be hard for speed runners to have a perfect score as the whole game is one big timer, but I guess that's the point, right? ;D

Developer(+1)

Haha yeah! I though that if this is speedran, then the speedrunners could get quite good at it and just whiz through. Thanks for playing! :)

Developer

actually, if you press R it resets the level and the timer to when you first entered. I might change this tho!

Submitted

All round great game.
Did you make all the assets for over the 3 day jam period?

Submitted

All round great game.
Did you make all the assets for over the 3 day jam period?

Developer(+1)

Yep! Only thing is I didn't make the music. Thanks for playing! :)

Developer(+1)

I saw your video!! :D:D:D I loved it!!

Submitted

No worries thanks for your submission!

Submitted

This game is very well made, very polished and beautiful art. one thing is that the vines and bumpers are a little hard to see because the colors are blended into the background

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah, those should be easy fixes once the jam's done :)

Developer(+1)

Done! I'll publish a new build soon :)

Submitted

I am speechless. From the moment I saw that the game has playable menu I knew this will be an amazing game and boy did I understated that. Visuals, gameplay, sounds everything felt so in place and so fluid. Amazing game thank you so much for making it.

Developer

Thanks so much!! :) I'm so glad that you enjoyed my game.  I really appreciate you playing it!! :D

Submitted

This is geniunly so cool, rated everything a 5, I'm Micah #9 on the leaderboard. How long did it take you?

Submitted

Really liked the music

Developer(+1)

Thanks, but that's not done by me. I found some free music online lol

Submitted

lol didn't we all

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!!! :D My time is shown on the leaderboards if that's what you're talking about. This game took me around three days to complete, with a day in advance to prepare. Thanks for rating :)

This is super fun!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing :)

Submitted

love the game

Developer

Thank you!! Yours too! :D

Submitted

great stuff! i thought nothing could be more annoying than the tentacles but then i got to the pinball things. already impressed with some of the leaderboard times

Developer

haha yeah those can be annoying :) glad you had fun!

Submitted

Very fun game! The pixel art is incredible

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!!! :D Your game is good too!

Submitted

very nice game you nailed all aspects of it ! great job

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!!! :D Have a wonderful day!

Submitted

bro, did you made all the visuals!!??? I´m your first fan, you have all my respects

Developer(+1)

Thank you!!! I worked hard on it, it was all handcrafted in aseprite. Making pixel art is a hobby of mine! :D

Submitted

Good game bro, but... I beat you, hahaha, obviously I'm joking.

Developer

Haha no worries (I purposely went slow so people could beat me) ;)

Submitted

I guessed it, I understand that you don't want people to be sad, haha, could you try the game please? Obviously it's not as nice as yours, but I'm proud, because I only spend like 5 hours on it.

Developer(+1)

I'll play it! :)

Submitted

Thanks!!

Developer

Bro, your time is so good! :D nice job, you're like a pro speedrunner

Submitted

I love it when a gamejam game doesn't "feel" like a gamejam game. Super polished visuals, good music, good game feel. Just fantastic all around, well done.

Developer

Thank you so much!!! This is my best game so far, thanks a lot for playing it and enjoying it! :):):)
