Good idea, and fun too.
However, sometimes the camera can't follow the player when I jump and at first, I thought the green surface was grass, but it wasn't.
But good idea, well done.
Thanks for the feedback!
You're right that we could signpost the slime hazards more clearly. I think I can fix the camera issue by changing the settings constraining the camera to the player depending on the speed and jump height that are set. That's one thing I'm looking into.
A really original idea with a nice execution, well done!
Right now, there is a lot of guesswork involved in figuring out the structure of the level. Maybe starting zoomed out to an overview of the whole level would make it a bit easier and more strategic. The other thing I'm interested in would be having more numbers to play around with.
Great job!
Thanks! I agree that starting zoomed out and probably highlighting the goal and the player in some way would be the best approach to give the player an overall idea of the level structure. I'm considering implementing something like that in the future.
We also considered allowing the player to change the character's mass, but there wasn't time to implement any puzzles that would require different mass, like a weight dependent switch or a wind blower. We also considered having negative numbers, so you would have to account for your movement being inverted, etc. We're planning to add all this in future updates!
I never thought I could like something with math in it, but this is really cool. So much could be done with this concept of surveying a level before you run it and planning out the speed and jump height you want to use to complete it. Very very interesting concept :) Great job!
Thanks for the kinds words! We're definitely going to come back and update this with new levels once the jam is over!
I cannot find the finished point at level 2. After I jump off the top platform and reached the other platform, I can't figure out where to go.
Thanks for playing! You need to jump as far as you can to the right to reach the goal on level 2. We were planning on adding a zoom feature before you start each level so you can survey the whole level and pick your power numbers accordingly but we didn't have time!
Your game looks cool btw - I'm on Mac so won't be able to check it out unfortunately :(
