Really fun game, I was unable to beat it but I enjoyed it ! Maybe It would be better to add an easier start or a tutorial
Tried it out, but unfortunately I couldn't get past the third jump puzzle. For some reason my box character kept vibrating side to side and would only jump to the right. If I really mashed the space bar I could get it to double or triple jump, but it was hard.
Judging from the other comments though it seems like if you can get it to work it is a great game!
Could be a good rage game, but the controls need refinement. If you continue I would focus on control consistency. I would press the space button and nothing would regularly happen. And touching a non flat surface seemed to disable controls until I hit a flat surface.
Ayyy a fellow "platformer with gimmick" maker!
The controls and physics are a liiittle bit jank, but otherwise the concept of the game is really fun! i would totally play a more polished version!!
"Platformer with a square for a character gang" rise up!
Seriously though, this is really fun! Well done!
Thank you so much, I had fun with your game as well
Square gang!!
Interesting concept! Has potential to be a good rage game. Well done on your first game jam!
Pretty good start to a game.
its fun but a tutorial would be appreciated i didn't able to finish it but it was fun
I got stuck for 3 minutes on the first part of the game, maybe it's a bit too hard at the start, aside from that, great game!
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!
Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm planning on making this concept a full release
I still have a lot of work to but I think it has a lot of potential
Really cool mix of Flappy Bird mechanics with platforming. Took a bit to get used to the controls, but once I figured it out, it was oddly satisfying. Some polish on the intro/tutorial would help new players get into it faster.
nice game! looks cool but i was unable to beat the first stage :( would be better if it had some sort of visual indicator to tell you where to go
but anyways it has a vibe to it :)
A little tough for me but definitely was a fun take on a flappy bird style of game! Might need a little refining because sometimes my block would get stuck in places and couldn't get out of but I thought it was a super cool concept! Was really satisfying when I was able to make it through
Wow, this was tough! It's really satisfying when you do manage to hit the jump after many, many tries. (And then screams of agony when you fall through the semi-transparent bits - pain!) Jokes aside this is a really solid first game jam entry!
Addicting, couldn't stop until I got the time I wanted :)
If only there was a reset button, I refreshed the page so many times to reset lol
Tried it out and man it's a little tough to get up there haha! But was really cool idea. Reminds me of Getting Over It a little mixed with Flappy Bird so really cool! Have to see if I can make it to the top one day haha!
I was kinda confused at first because the combination of space + A or D didn't seem to work as it would let me jump only in the right. I managed to play it after I found that the arrow keys work. Great idea, love the mechanics, flappy bird style. It made me ragequit so it worked. Good job!
also, some sounds would make the game nicer
Yeah sorry about the lack of sounds (and visuals) I only had 5 hours to work on this so had to focus solely on the gameplay, glad you had your fun (even tho you ragequited lol)
Nice! Honestly surprised that I haven't seen this concept explored yet, flappy bird mechanics for a rage game is a great idea. Getting knocked out when hitting a wall is a wonderful way to interpret the flappy bird failure system. Great job!
Yeah same, it came to me from nowhere but I think it could have a lot of potential after polishing the edges and adding some art
It's a good idea but MAN is it hard! Still pretty good tho :>
Reminded me a lot of "Jump King", very fun idea, but ruthless punishment for failing ahaha
I would love to see it developed further!
