Hey! Great job on the submission. I played until I got stuck on the part where you use the hat (really cool btw) to get to the upper level then have to get past the door that closes on a timer. I tried several things such as leaving my hat behind on the laser, throwing hat at laser from a distance (didn't work), and even tried to throw hat at the door from the laser. I think I missed a mechanic there perhaps? Let me know and I'll give it another go!
Either way, good work! Keep up the game development journey.
Hat mechanic was interesting, but felt inconsistent/difficult to control. I think mouse aiming gave too much variation in aiming, I never felt like I was able to consistently chain wall jumps. maybe just 8-way directional would be better? I never felt like I needed a full 360°s to aim, and it would still be a timing challenge. or maybe I need to get good...
The simple characters reminded me of old flash games and the end felt rather sudden, but I see in another comment that the game is unfinished. A shame, but I understand accidentally over-scoping.
Yeah the state of the game is rather unfortunate. I think I 100% Made the right call changing the game midway through.
And BRO I LOVE what I did for Sale Mail. The comedy and voice acting is peak. Also It’s cool to see in which ways I repurposed the winter robot to make Sale Mail.
This game is really cool! There are many cool ideas that I can see being expanded upon! The platforming challenges are quite difficult, although the hologram character was very helpful. Great job!
Im glad the tutorial helped, in my testing nobody could wallclimb 😭
Some interesting gameplay mechanics. Unfinished game, unfortunately? Still a great job!
yeah I decided to abandon it halfway because It was too large scope. I decided to publish it anyway because if I didn’t there wouldn’t be a game that explored the hat mechanic to it’s fullest.
Either way I did decide to make a different game instead, it’s called Sale Mail and it genuinely contains some of my best writing and rhyming to date, it even has me and a small cast of voice actors and from what I’m hearing my humor is very well recieved!
You basically play as a Robot that reads animal’s mail and then makes/designs custom targeted ads for the recipient then delivers the mail.
The humor comes from the mail and the targeted ads you make.
No pressure to play it but if you do, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it!
I will check it out! Actually I'm planning to play (and rate) every game on this jam, but we'll see how it goes
Good luck! I’m gonna try playing a bunch of yhem though I won’t have time for them all. I’ll just random queue and see how many I can do!
