Loved being a drum of oil--wish there was even more stuff to burn! Congrats!
the game itself was fun and an interesting take on platforming with the heat mechanic! i however managed to find a bug were hitting space and up arrow at the same time created a super job which forced my barrel off the screen never to be seen again but not ending the level requiring a manual restart. Its an easy bug to avoid and is not gamebreaking but i figured you would like to know :) great game!
this game's great, and i too can confirm that it makes you feel like a steel barrel of oil. i like the screen shake whenever you land, it really shows how much weight the player character (a steel barrel of oil) truly has. also i like the second level's solution it's pretty neat. my one singular gripe is that the player doesnt move with sideways moving platforms by themself but i dont know how to do anything in godot so i dunno how hard it is. plus, the game is still really fun and unique so who cares about one small thing!!! :D
The game is very short but has a lot of charm. Very cool that you gain more height with well timed jumps. I also have to admit that it has a pretty clever title.
My only issue was with how much it tanked my preformance, but I guess it’s due to the fluid and fire simulations, so it’s understandable. Even though it lagged on my device I still pushed through and managed to beat it.
Ah thank you for the feedback. I tried to optimize as best I could, but there's definitely more work that could be done to really get this working the way I want it to. At least with a short game people can finish it even when there are some issues hah
The movement really makes you feel like a barrel full of oil. I was incredibly frustrated but equally determined to wrest control of this barrel and after an embarrassingly long bout of falling from level 1 like a baby chick from a nest, I finally got the hang of it. The solution to level 2 was very clever and really shows the potential of this concept! While short, the great presentation and level of juice in this game make it feel like a polished title. Great work!
Thank you for such poetic feedback! I'm feeling really inspired
Nice game. Nice presentation. It a little frustrating to my taste, it is ok though. Good job!
Thanks for playing!
ended so sooooon :( i loved what i played, beautiful, smooth, clever. amazingly designed levels and mechanics. great job!!
Ahh thank you so much! That is my biggest frustration with my submission.. a couple bugs I can deal with, but I really wanted to get more done.
The solution on the second level sparked so many design ideas in me that this game could have, very cool concept and execution!
Thanks! I had a lot of ideas sketched out that I couldn't execute in time, but I'm playing around with now
Drown and lit myself on fire several times. 10/10 Good game
Woo! Well done, if you didn't drown and explode I'd be disappointed
absolutely stunning presentation
Thanks so much!
Rather frustrating movement to be sure, but I liked the art style and the CRT shader looked nice and fit the pixel art nicely!
Clever title and I really like the title graphic
Thanks for playing, and the feedback!
Lit concept, definitely curious to see what a more polished and extended version of this would look like.
Thanks! I'm hoping to actually extend it.
Very nice! Controls great, I just wish it were longer!
Thanks so much!
while pretty hard to control, It was still fun！and i love the vibesss
Thanks!
This game was really challenging! Took me an hour to beat even though there were only two levels! :þ Very slick! I like it!
Thank you so much!
Loved all the post-processing and polish of this game. From the oil spills to the physics-based movement of the barrel, I want to play more!!!
Thanks! I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted so I'm planning to fully flesh this out once voting has ended.
I had a hard time getting used to the movement because of, what pros call a "skill issue"
The artstyle and soundtrack worked together like a charm, I really enjoyed it
And once I was able to find an exploit, I easily beat both levels :D
The exploit in question: if you press W and space simultaneously, you jump a lot higher, about 3 to 4 times the usual height
That's a great catch.. I feel so exploited lol. Thanks for this, I really appreciate it!
I really love the art style and flicky CRT effect. It's a really cool concept but I couldn't get past the first level. It's really challenging XD
Thanks! I did lean toward the challenging side as I was running short on time and wanted to give something to frustrate a bit. I do intend to build this out more to what I initially intended and the difficulty should have a smoother onramp.
I absolutely love the visual style and the presentation! The movement is challengingly difficult, and the crt effect is really cool!
Thanks so much!
Awesome platformer with a super unique movement and damage system. I love frantically rolling to water when im at 90%!
Hah thanks!
