Great game! The first level was very frustrating, and it is disheartening to have to re-acclimate yourself to new controls each time you die. But in the later levels you do some really fun and interesting stuff. I would recommend just decreasing the difficulty of the first jump since there are no other jumps like that in the rest of the game. I was not able to get past the level with the two code, maybe I was missing something. Music presentation and theming are all great, it reminded me of the game Mooncat which is one of my favorites. Congrats on a great first game jam entry! Look forward to seeing what else you make!

Hi thanks so much for playing my game I really appreciate it!

Submitted(+1)

this is the most complex controls so far but it make sense because it is its core gameplay. I do not know if you intended this to be  a rage game but I did get frustrated at some moments. 

wanna try some rage platformer? I would also love to hear your honest feedback towards my game and thanks in advance. :D

Developer

Thanks for playing my game!

Yes I did intend this to be a rage game HAHAHAH sorry for causing your frustration but it is appreciated because you played the game

Man, this game made me think for a long time. I’d look, memorize the keys for about 10 seconds, press the wrong one, and reset. Really fun with a very unique concept.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing my game!

Yeah it is kind of a rage-bait game, because if you reset then your controls change, so thats the challenge to adapt quickly.

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it very much!

 Fun and unique puzzle game. The first jump puzzle was frustrating because I wasn't accustomed to the coyote time, but everything improved after that. The theme was excellently utilized, and all elements blended well together.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game!

Thank you for the kind words, im sorry about the coyote time a lot of people also said something about that so maybe I shouldve increased the coyote time. I take note of this and do better next time!

The idea of random control is so creative! Nice puzzle game!

If you have a minute, please check out my game!

Developer

Thankyouu for playing my game!

It's a pretty nice puzzle game but I think I can do better next time

AARRRRRRGGGGG Dudde Why????, definition of gacha game, but what is in gacha is control, I'm frustrated now, thank you -_-

Developer

Ummm I dont think I understand what you mean by that, but im sorry that you are having difficulty playing the first level, and it seems you cant get past this hole. You can do it! I know you can! Dont give up! I dont think youre the type of person to give up on the first level

First game jam? Way better than expected then! Game is very polished, a cohesive art, a nice music + animation. Only small suggestion I would add that made the game less fun is the very unforgiving collision boxes. I was hoping somebody made a game like this (changing the controls) in the jam and finally found it. Very interesting and one of the most "ready to go" projects I've seen so far. Congratulations, great work!

Developer

Hiiii thankyouu so much for playing the game! your kind words towards my game is very heart warming!

I actually already reduced the collision boxes for it to be more forgiving but I guess thats only for me, so it should be more unforgiving so that you and others can enjoy it! I will learn from this and improve, thankyouu so much for this valuable feedback and compliments I really appreciate it!

confusing at first, but in a good way, we'll done, good game

Developer

Hiii thankyouu so much for playing the game!!!

Even I was confused playing this game the first time, but eventually I got there and I think you got there too! Thankyouuu I really shoulve put more time into this

Again thankyou so much for playing the game I really appreciate it!

The concept of randomising the controls was very unique. The levels were also amazing. I really loved it. Also the coyote time is well implemented. Amazing Work!

Developer

Hiii thankyouu so much for playing the game!!!

I always thought that the other letter keys dont get used much when it comes to games, so in this game they will be able to shine and get recognized HAHAHAHA. Thankyouu for the compliments on the levels, I actually think that I should've put more effort on the levels but you saying that the level are amazing are heartwarming!

Also Sorry took to long to reply, I was busy with school 

Again thankyou so much for playing the game I really appreciate it!

Amazing game for your first game jam! You put a lot of effort and polish towards this submission. Sometimes the key binds don't work, which is the only problem I really saw with the game. Good job!

Developer

Hiii thankyouu so much for playing the game!!!

I really am not expecting comments like these like wow! I put a lot of effort in this game but at the same time I wished I could have put even more effort to it. Im also very sorry for the keybinds not working sometimes I must have overlooked something, I was in a rush submitting the game as well. But nonetheless thankyouu so much for the feedback!

Also Sorry took to long to reply, I was busy with school 

Again thankyou so much for playing the game I really appreciate it!

It´s a fantastic puzzle game. For your first jam is awesome. The level design, the graphical coherence, the style, music and sfx, the mechanics. All work ok. There are some excelent ideas in the game. This game needs more plays and valorations for sure!

Great work!

Developer(+1)

Hiii thankyouu so much for playing the game!!!

I did not expect to have a comment like this to my first game jam. If I wasnt so bust with school, I for sure would have done more polishing to the game

Also Sorry took to long to reply, I was busy with school 

Again thankyou so much for playing the game I really appreciate it!

Understanding the control is tough due to text but the game idea is great.

Developer(+1)

Hiii thankyouu so much for playing the game!!!

By text, do you mean the font? I guess the font was confusing, cuz I also got confused with some letters thinking they were something else. Thankyou for your feedback I will take note of this and improve!

Also Sorry took to long to reply, I was busy with school 

Again thankyou so much for playing the game I really appreciate it!

It is incredible that you manange to participate in the jam while doing your school activities. The text for control button are confusing. I confused between  K and X the most.

Developer(+1)

Yeah I couldnt believe it either.

I knew it, I had the same problem with the text of K and X, D and O, then U and V.

Again, Im sorry for the confusing font I will do better next time and remember it

Thankyouu again for playing the game!
