Trijam #332: The 3 hour game jam » Entries » Alone To Melt

Viewing post in Alone To Melt jam comments

Wow! You made this game in 3 hours! You’re brilliant… The mechanics are incredible and ingenious, the style, the music… Everything works perfectly.

The only thing is that the difficulty is too high for me, and I can’t get past the 4th level (the pit with the dots and then the jump). Even with the video, I found it impossible hehe (after the jam I recomend to add a level selector menu, so anybody can jump to other level to try it).

I’m back (sort of)!! I’m looking forward to checking out the games you’ve been making, I’m curious. You already had potential when you started, but now you’re really, really good (this game deserves the 1st place!). Not only creating amazing things, but adapting ideas to generate even better ones! Congratulations!

PS: I did it! The key is to run a little before you fall… Now I’m stuck in the last level ^^! The difficult of this game is “a bit” high, hehe.

Thanks so much for the review and I'm glad you are back!!!!

About the game itself, I made the last level really hard because I was afraid that people will finish my game in about 1 minute before the last level... but I'm happy to hear the level difficulty is balanced. (I don't exactly expect players to finish my last level since it took me about 15 minutes for it). I don't exactly know the 4th level you are mentioning(Since every level has dots(somewhat) and a jump haha) though... sorry

I also look forward to your games! (I don't understand Galician much (I translated some words on the game page to get a bit of understanding), but your latest work was really amazing on both the game itself and the significance of it) I don’t think my games deserve 1st place—especially not before you get a win.

Thanks again!

Thanks for your words. The 4th level, that I replayed like 20 or 30 times, was this:

The last level for me is impossible, I tried a loooot of times, hehe. Remember that we, as developers, replay a lot of times our own levels, so we are “experts” in our games (ususally). In my last videogame (“O fío da memoria” - “The thread of memory”) I downgraded the difficult after the twitch comments, but it´s still complicated. In a jam it´s better to be in a 4 of 10 of difficult that in a 7 of 10… Our “4” is maybe a “6” for other players.

And yes, I think you deserve to be the winner… I didn´t make a game this time. I had an idea, but no time to development. Next week!! Oh, and I consider that you are better than me. You grew up a LOT in a very short time ^^! I’m looking forward to seeing your progress in the coming months :)

Hehe, if you need a translation of my last game, only ask for it ;) Thanks for your words. It has some minor bugs, but I spent four days making it. It’s a lot of time to polish it, searching contents, etc.

Ohhhh I remembered... I'll see if the admins allow me to update another game with the difficulty of the 4th level changed! A good lesson from me to make the earlier levels simpler.

The last level...I didn't exactly expect anyone to complete it... it's more like just there for anyone who still want to keep playing because I don't have any content anymore. It's rather a 9/10 for me aswell. And... I still consider you as a much better developer than me lol. I'm still lacking a lot of skills to be honest... (I have basically no polishing skills to make the game look good)Can't wait to see what you make next week!(Next week I will be trying out the GMTK jam so I'm not sure If I could make a game at that time.)

With the translations, you don't have to do it just for me lol(Although if you want to do it it's amazing). I can translate it on the screen pretty well :D

Thanks again!
