Ctrl is starting to hurt my pinky really badly after a while. I would have liked the charge of it to be a bit faster, but it was fun jumping around and exploring different areas of the map. I think with a little bit of VFX the game would have been really good. Good job.
The game felt great and i liked how it looked! only annoying part was the Ctrl key because that kinda messes things up with shortcuts when played on browser. other than that, it's great! 5/5 stars easy. Also, would you mind giving our game a look too?
nice game and really impressive that u did it in 3 days
one thing, i would change the Control key because in some web browsers Ctrl+W closes the current window, and it happened to me while playing
Nice game! Only gripe would be the charge time being a bit too long for the gameplay to go smooth, but other than that this is a really good first entry!
Thank you!! We want to continue working on it after the Jam, so then we can play around with the movement a little more.
Awesome first gamejam game. It might be a little slow for a platformer and would love to see the charge time reduced (maybe even switch to a cooldown instead? and implement time sensitive sections), but I get the concept. And well done! <3
Thank you! The idea was that you had to prepare before jumping and then use some combinations of moves to extend the Charged jump, but we didn't have the time to include these moves. ╥_╥
Help I don't know how to get out of the tutorial !!!
We don't know either T_T
Seems like a cool concept, though I'd definitely like to see the charge time reduced a bit, it's pretty time-consuming to do that back to back.
Other than that, found a silly lil' bug where you stay the "charged jump" sprite if you keep jumping after the charge-jump, was pretty funny :p
Cool first steps for a project, which I'd hope to see polished further <3
Think of it as a feature XD, YOU are now a fireball!
Very nice and seems like a fun theme! Charge jump felt a little long but I liked the concept
Thank you for playing our little entry and enlighten us about the charge time. o_o
Maybe I was charge jumping wrong lol but it felt like it was taking a while when I was charge jumping multiple times in a row I was waiting a while to complete the charge each time. It just made the game feel a little slow, nothing too bad
Creepy! The game could have some checkpoints cause it takes way too much time to reach the starting poiny again and again. Anyway i like the game concept, it's fun!
Thanks, originally we had plans for a mechanic to address the issue, great catch!
very creepy, charge jump could have charged a bit faster though
Thank you!
it says if you die in this game there is no extra lives however I couldn't find a single point where I could die if I wanted to, there were pits that meant you had to walk back to the start which felt tedious, feels like it would have been alot better if you just died and could restart the level. because of the first part of the none tutorial wanted you to jump in a hole, I overshot it and I thought I was meant to continuously go right when I was meant to go left. charge jump also acts weird if you have upward velocity which took me a while to figure out
The idea was that you "the character" are to afraid of making mistakes, to actually start the level but then realise that making mistakes is not as bad as it seemed because you don't die.
Yes we agree with your criticism and thank you for your comment. :)
np, yous still done a good job getting it done.
Nice little game you have here
a side note: remember people ill be playing in broweser and a lot of browsers you the left control for actions that will overwrite your games controls (had to switch too edge to get this working correctly)
Thanks we forgot about that :O
Nice game, the charge jump is way too hard to hit though
Thanks for the feed back :)
Really cool game and super awesome for your first game jam! I liked the charge jump mechanic, but I would recommend making the charge time for it just a bit quicker because of how often you need it. Overall, great job!
Thanks for playing the game, the original idea was to have ways of extending the charge Jump but we didn't have the time to add those mechanics so in the end you have to use it more often than originally intended
