Thanks, yeah the last level is really the most I could ask of anyone playing, but it's definitely a lot. Glad you enjoyed it!

I've never seen a 2d top down platformer, that's so cool!
The implementation of the theme was interesting aswell.

Thanks! got the idea from Link's Awakening, but obviously the implementation was a lot rougher. Glad you enjoyed it!

Really good game. It was tough and sometimes the control buttons at the bottom right didn't match how they were mixed up but I guess that adds to the out of control theme. Great job!

Found the 2D perspective interesting but nonetheless, a great execution of the jam theme! Good job!

If you have time I'd love for you to check out my game!

Thanks! I think a shadow underneath would've added more depth, but it is what it is. I'll take a look at yours when I have a chance

Your game is really clever!  I like the changing controls idea.  You should keep working on it! Congrats on successfully submitting a game to the jam and I hope you learned a lot of new things.  Please check out my game when you have time :D

Thanks! I will probably leave the game where it is since I think I've explored most of what the idea has to offer without getting into being a super expert at hard jumps, but I did learn a lot, especially about tilesets. I'll take a look at yours when I have a chance!

So good! The game did a great job at teaching me how to play it. I died once from confusion but then I was ready to play.

Thanks! It's been neat to see other ways people have implemented the idea.

Cute and fun! It's already difficult getting my brain/muscle memory to remember the shifting controls that I can't even  imagine what hard mode is like. Great job!

GrahamTDeveloper6 years ago

Thanks! Hard mode is an all levels rush, where if you die you go back to level 1. I still haven't beaten it.

I made it to the island hopping level which was pretty tough.  It's hard to tell how close to the water I can get before falling.

Yeah, I struggled a bit with a hitbox that was reasonable without being too easy or too difficult. I ended up shrinking it based on feedback, but I agree it was still tough to judge. Thanks for playing!
