The controls are really hard to get the hang of, but that might just be my skill issue lol. The graphics are beautiful and the bouncing particles look super cool and juicy. Congrats on making this buddy :)

Thanks! The game is really challenging

Looks good, sounds good. But the controller is too fast and unstoppble like it's on ice ( why does it slide on bricks? ) Platforms are small, the character is hard to control. I see that you added some princess or something but i ragequitted on level 2 because i fell from the last platform :) Please make good feeling not frustrating gameplay FIRST and then the narrative. Good luck in your next projects!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I wanted the character to have a sense of weight or something like it's not just a square, it gradually accelerates and slows down, and I'm deeply convinced that the problem is not so much in control (although it can be improved, I agree) As much as the level design, I didn't want to make the game simple because it's short

I got stuck on the "you need some luck" screen, bouncing off the walls when you're on the ground was annoying for the precise platforming areas. Fun otherwise. Good job for one person and 2 days

Developer

You're right, it's not a bad job... but as you said for two days, and the jam lasted 3... for the rest, I can say that you may not accelerate at full speed, and you can also fly very high if you press W immediately after jumping through Space.

Very innovative concept ! 

I hadn't figured out that ou could wall jump at the beggining and with that knowlege the game is pretty fun, but also pretty hard, I was stuck on the 3rd screen xD The musics vere nice to ear !

Good job !

Developer

Thank you!

It feels like Im platforming with soap pretty good concept though :) 

Developer

Yes, it was even worse at an early stage, thanks for the feedback!

I haven't seen a game use this style of physics so well. I got very far but fell all the way back down and had to stop. The songs are all awesome, too!

Yes, game balance is a complex topic, but I didn't focus on that (because I was frustrated and tired), but on making sure the reward was at least a little bit pleasant.

Submitted(+1)

I thought the balance was good. It's difficult, but I could feel myself improving at the game as I was playing, which was very rewarding. I think you did a great job.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you!  In any case, the game leaves positive emotions, and that's the main thing.

The music and the art of this are awesome, it was so hard though I couldn’t get out of the intro area 😂 Really nice still!

Developer

Thank you very much! this is my first jam, I tried hard for a reason, although in the end I already gave up... But I could have worked on the level design.
