The anti-gravity mechanic in James and the Pyramid is a really clever fit for a pyramid setting, and as failed67 pointed out it's implemented well — flipping gravity to navigate the levels feels genuinely fun once you get into it. The alien design and the blue blob dialogue add a lot of charm too, and Chocochis is right that the ending lands nicely for such a short game. Leonzable's feedback about adding audio and a jump animation is spot on — even simple sound effects and a bit more snap to the character's movement would make the whole experience feel much more polished. The gravity button skip glitch that redkoala64 found is definitely worth patching too, since being able to clip straight to the endpoint bypasses all the level design you put work into. Feel free to check out my sky platformer too if you get a moment!

I found the concept interesting; what I liked most were the graphics and the gameplay.

If you have time, could you try my game too? It was made entirely on mobile by one person!

I tried the game but get stuck on lvl 3 when the blue blob talks to me. I'm not sure how to go on from there. Is there something I do wrong?

Developer(+2)

Hii. When the blob is talking to you you’re supposed to press enter to continue the dialogue. I should’ve specified that lowkey haha

has potential, needs more levels
one of the levels glitched when you click the gravity button you directly jump through the ceiling to the end point
nicely done!

Developer

Yes I have to fix that bug because you can basically just skip through the whole level lol. Thank you so much

Liked:

  • The alien design
  • The premise
  • The anti-gravity mechanic

Room for improvement:

  • Really needs audio
  • Try giving the character a jump animation and reducing his deceleration so he can turn around quicker would do wonders to making movement feel better.
