Well, over the course of four minutes I managed to make it from the lowest left part of the level to the lowest right.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but from what I figured out the only ways to move are left, right and jumping to the right. From there I didn't manage to make it past the first vertical section, no matter how much or in what ways I flung myself against the right wall, and every time when that happened I lost control until I touched the ground again.

I feel like at the core the movement could be quite fun but unfortunately I couldn't really play around with it.

Nonetheless, congrats on your first game jam submission!

For whatever reason, I was only able to jump to the right, even when I pressed the arrow keys in a different direction, so I got stuck pretty fast. I also had an issue where the game didn't always receive my input, so I'd fall anyway. Good try for a first game („• ֊ •„)੭

It's a great and challenging game, it does feel like flappy bird and also feel vaguely the same like the game Jump King. Got a neat score of 52 seconds! After playing for like nearly  half an hour xD would love to see more levels actually

Developer

Thank you, ill try and develop this further. Im really exited with this idea.

Movement feels a little clunky and not that responsive but for a first game this is a winner!

Submitted

Great and challenging game! Played for 30 minutes but can't get past the moving platforms (the ones that are moving vertically), but I will definitely try it again later))

I encountered 1 bug.

If you get in this situation it will collide with the wall and the diamond so you aren't able to jump or do anything and you are stuck (the situation in the screenshot)

Also if you are sticking to the wall and press jump it's like wall climbing))

But amazing game overall!!, loved it

Developer

thank you so much, i will see what i can do to fix those bugs :)

Hey man thanks for making this!

I tried to get past the first area for 5 - 10 minutes but i wasnt able too! this might be a skill issue but i think a good suggestion would be too create a small section at the start thats dead easy to get people to understand the jump mechanics

I found a bug where if you jump on a slope it then locks your jump to that direction all of the time, not sure why

This is fantastic for a first attempt, well done!

Developer

Yeah i will probably add a section thats just plain open to introduce people to it

Submitted(+1)

Cool and simple art and the game definitely made me rage :D

I would add a small introduction to the jumping mechanic and 1 or 2 short easy level to get the player hooked.

Awesome work, especially for your first jam :)

Simple but addictive rage platformer. I'm absolutely terrible and was totally stuck on the first two vertical sections for so long. Nice job on your first game!

Submitted

Awesome work on the rage game, I beat the game in about 5 or 6 minutes on my first go. I think you have only a few things you'd have to clean up in order to get the gameplay in order, mainly how the game handles the collision and the L/R controls. The floor feels a bit too sticky at times and I found in rare occasions I'm able to jump off of walls? The speed in which the character moves left and right feels a bit too fast, in the way that turning mid-air for some jumps feels very unintentional (Could be a personal taste thing, but also maybe experiment and playtest with limiting turning to only jumps or something). The level design is an instant classic and works great with the movement. Well done on your first project and sorry if I come on as a bit too critical, what you've done is fantastic.

Submitted

The game was fun, but I couldn't make it very far after 30 mins of trying I could only get to the bar area. occasionally. took a moment to understand how to use the movement

Submitted

it's really good rage game loved the simple art 

Submitted

I'm done. It's not fun at all. I mean it is fun, but I'm just so mad hahaa. Welll done man just one mechanic but it's so infuriating. I feel the game is fair but still hard at least for me, maybe I'm just bad. Maytbe I'm dumb but I couldn't figure out you could flap for a minute I thought you coulld only jump once haha so maybe osme tutroial or just text would help. This was a really good first game jam. Overall it's a good rage game, it got me mad which was the point so it's good. Thumbsup!

Developer(+1)

nah you are not dumb at all thats completely on me i made a really poor job on explaining the mechanics, it definetily needs a tutorial, gald you had fun (kinda lol)

Submitted(+1)

Nice game, at first i thought i was missing something, but once i figured it out, i had a lot of fun playing it.
A short tutorial at the beginning would be helpful. Also, adding music and some feedback sounds when jumping or hitting a wall would make it even better!

Submitted

Very fun rage game! I was very bad at it though, but I tried. Good job! 

Developer

thank you so much :)

It took me a second to figure out the movement but when I got the hang of it it was fun trying to get to the top! 

Submitted(+1)

Really liked the game. Very addictive. Nice job! (I also liked the "there is a timer that get started" joke in the description)

Submitted

I feel like it could be better with themed graphic and a little story. it took me a while to figure out the mechanics but when i had it was really cool. incredible for a first try to game jams ! A well made rage game;D(the one way barrier were soooooo frustrating, and hardcore only up !)

Developer

Currently my plan is turning this into a full release with actual cute graphics (ngl im a pretty good artist but i didnt have the time to apply that here). im thinking the player should be a bat escaping a cave

Submitted

Very fun game to speedrun, it definitely feels like a rage game and it has the potential to grow into something bigger for sure! Great job, especially for a first game jam!

My best time is 00:37:278

Developer

thats an insane timing, well done
