I'm stuck in the second level 3

Developer

oh, like stuck in a glitch or stuck on the puzzle?

Submitted

puzzle

Developer

do you want a hint or the solution?

Submitted

solution~

Developer

it's a "print" statement to reference programming scripting. You can spawn in a floating version of yourself to complete "print" and a platform appears of the statement printed.

Very clever! This was quite fun. While nothing was particularly difficult, I died a few times in the platforming sections. Maybe a shadow or something to show roughly where you are in mid-air might help. For longer levels, if you make more, consider checkpoints!

Developer

oh yeah that's a good idea, I didn't even think about it. ty for playing!

Nice Game!

Funny game! The music got quite repetitive after some time ;) Otherwise fun to play. At one point I would've liked a checkpoint to not repeat the first part of a level again. I liked the computer-ish painted style of the game.

Developer

Yeah the biggest regret of mine is not knowing how to make music, I felt guilty using downloaded music. Thank you for playing tho, glad you enjoyed it!

This game has some really cool mechanics and interesting puzzles to figure out! I like the level complete animation!

Developer

I didn't know how to do cutscenes in Godot so I just brute forced them in, but they came out nicely.  Thank you for playing!

How did you end up implementing them? Did you use an animation player or did you hard code positions/actions into the player?

Developer

I used an animation player and changed the position and visibility of th player as well as particle effects and other stuff.

That sounds like it should work well as a way to animate things! I must say that it really was amazing!

Developer

Good luck!

Very creative puzzles based on programming motifs and I really enjoyed the ingenuity some of the levels!  Well done!

Developer

so happy you liked it! Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

pretty clever platformer! it does feel a bit empty though

Developer

ty, yeah, level design isn't my strong suit.

Submitted(+1)

Took a bit to get a hang of the controls, but I got there eventually! Tip: R lets you get all your objects back (since it's not mentioned in the game description). 

Developer

oh yeah that's a good idea I forgot about putting it in the description haha.

Submitted(+1)

hahaaa this is so good! I was not expecting such gameplay, it's very creative ! well done !

This is a really creative take on the theme, I like that the theming lets you really take advantage of simple graphics and the tutorial text appearing like it's typed is fantastic.  You've got some really creative ways to interact with your environment in this game and I'm impressed.  Awesome job!

Developer

Tysm, I'm so happy you like it, I put my all into it!
