Ok, this needs a tutorial and some more polish for the movement
BUT OMFG Its soooo good once you figure it out!
I absolutely love the idea!
If someone else whose stuck and needs help:
You basically move left and right and select the direction for jumps. Now when you jump, just like in flappy bird, you can jump again midair. You do this to get up. BUT when jumping if you touch a wall, you cannot jump anymore
So you have to be very precise on your movement and not spam the jump keys. Its kinda like a rythym game and its very very cool!
Now for the feedback
For the polish I mentioned, when you hit your head, it also counts that as you hit a wall and you cant jump, that part felt a bit unfair
Also when u land after falling, it feels like the movement is disabled for like half a second. That feels a bit iffy to control
And lastly, a bug:
when you walk against a wall and press jump, u just stick to it and can then just climb it without fear of falling
Like this
Overall, the idea and the mechanic are actually REALLY WELL MADE, its actually very fun to control and learn!
Definitely needs a tutorial lvl and maybe more work on the visuals and sfx
Tho I do agree the theme implementation could be better 😅 But that isnt a rating criteria and as you mentioned, you started jamming! so good for you!
And extra credit to you as this was your first game jam! You did a solid job on this. The game idea is creative and fun! and isnt that buggy at all other than some polishing left
kudos to you for making such an amazing one!
